MISCELLANY:

What got you into this whole "goth" thing anyhow? The clothes. Back when I was a trek-nerd I had some friends who were goth. I was a committee member of a convention in 1990 called Vampiricon. I think my first *scene* appearance was the opening night of Apocalypse.
What do you wear to bed? nothing
Do you decapitate Jelly Babies and Teddy Bear biscuits before progressing to other body parts? Nope. I start with the arms and legs. Though I usually tend to drown the teddy bears first in my tea.
If we made "ACG - The Movie" - who would play you? Oliver Platt
If one thing could suddenly appear on your desk / fall in your lap, what would you like it to be? Nicole Kidman
What is your greatest fear? dying lonely
Your last five holidays were where? the UK, Sydney, Melbourne, Sydney, and I think Sydney (I can see a pattern developing here).
Which cartoon character are you? This is a tough one actually....
If someone's hitting on you - what's guaranteed to work? feigned innocence
Can you keep a secret? yep
Who or what is your least favourite thing in the world? backstabbing bitchy people who love to spread malicious gossip. Not that I know anyone like that...
What gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside? I did like the live hamster comment :) But I think being in love is the best.
Anything else you want to say that you don't feel is covered above: I think there was something about what sort of ring your mobile has.... It's the Darth Vader march. I am in the process of trying to work out the notes for Danse Macabre though.
