And I'm typing directly under a chimney! - by way of explanation, the computer sits where the fireplace once was.

MISCELLANY:

What got you into this whole "goth" thing anyhow? Ummm ... not sure, really ... I started listening to MBV and the whole thing seemed to somehow progress from there. That, and the overt influence of a girl I went out with for a while a long time ago.
What do you wear to bed? Nothing in summer but T-shirts in winter. Never anything below the waist.
Do you decapitate Jelly Babies and Teddy Bear biscuits before progressing to other body parts? Yep.
If we made "ACG - The Movie" - who would play you? No idea. I reckon I'd show up in the sequel.
If one thing could suddenly appear on your desk / fall in your lap, what would you like it to be? A packet of Tim Tams.
What is your greatest fear? It used to be aeroplanes. Now it's probably big dogs.
Your last five holidays were where? Canberra, Vietnam, Melbourne, Canberra and Canberra.
Which cartoon character are you? Ralph Wiggum.
If someone's hitting on you - what's guaranteed to work? Being incredibly blunt and obvious - I'm really crap at picking up on those subtle signals, I tells ya.
Can you keep a secret? Yes. Undoubtedly.
Who or what is your least favourite thing in the world? Dubya. And Paddy McGuinness.
What gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside? When my little one-and-a-half year old niece crawls across our outside table and kisses me.
