MISCELLANY:

What got you into this whole "goth" thing anyhow? I went to Alternative Nation, saw NIN and then saw all of these beautiful looking people who'd come to see them. So I found out a bit more about them and decided it looked like fun.
What do you wear to bed? Bath robe if it's cold (which it is this time of year, thank God for my heated waterbed!!!), otherwise nothing.
Do you decapitate Jelly Babies and Teddy Bear biscuits before progressing to other body parts? That is the sort of thing I'd do, yes.
If we made "ACG - The Movie" - who would play you? Me.
If one thing could suddenly appear on your desk / fall in your lap, what would you like it to be? A 24 inch LCD display, although I'd like it to fall gently so it doesn't break. And I'd really like a sampler. I love getting musical equipment and playing with it, learning what it will do. Samplers sound like fun.
What is your greatest fear? Being unloved.
Your last five holidays were where? I haven't taken that many holidays. I went to Lindeman Island when I was a kid. I should start getting into the habit of taking holidays ...
Which cartoon character are you? The penguin from The Wrong Trousers. That's close enough to a cartoon, isn't it?
If someone's hitting on you - what's guaranteed to work? Good conversation, a sweet smile. And I love being asked out :)
Can you keep a secret? Yes, I think that's a very important quality in a person.
Who or what is your least favourite thing in the world? Being afraid while walking around town.
What gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside? When I work really hard on something and it works out well. Friends, family, good company. Playing music. Good gigs. Cool sounds ("Hey, that lawnmower sounds like something I was dancing to last week!").
Anything else you want to say that you don't feel is covered above:
