Six things about you (answers)

Seeing as I got a rather larger (and much faster—all in one day nearly!) response to Something about you than I expected, I’ve decided to put the answers in a separate post. If I haven’t mentioned you yet put a comment here or in the previous post and I’ll update the entry.

Here goes… (in order of asking, more or less). Hope it’s of interest, seeing as it took me about two hours to think of all the answers:

The questions (repeated for reference)

1. Reply and I’ll write something about you.
2. I will then tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I will tell you my first memory of you.
5. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
6. I’ll then tell you something that I’ve always wondered about you.

Kirk

1. Someone who is as knowledgeable about Red Dwarf as I am about Doctor Who 🙂
2. Movie: Flash Gordon, mainly because you went on about how sexist it was
3. Dunno really, I don’t think there’s anything in particular for this one
4. Thinking “will that guy at the back of the lecture theatre ever stop asking questions?” 😛
5. Something big yet docile… emperor penguin maybe
6. Why you always sat at the back last year – normally the people who ask questions sit at the front 😉

Dan

1. Fellow geek who knows far more about most techy stuff than I do
2. Hmm, difficult one this, probably Summer of ‘69 – Bryan Adams, because I think that’s the one you requested for my “30th birthday” 🙂
3. Can’t think of anything off the top of my head, anything I could say is probably known to Haslam or Pete
4. Someone pointing you out to me after you’d posted that spoof of me on the IT forums, first proper memory is probably drinking in the Peel or those “Valentime’s Messages” I got in the second year 😉
5. Cats, because of that picture of you with all those women dressed as feline creatures
6. Why I never bumped into you at high school

Lizzy

1. Intelligent (well, for an arts student anyway :P), cute and funny
2. Song: Venus – Bananarama (from the look of amusement on your face when Jennie and I started singing along in FAB), Movie: Robots or Singing in the Rain
3. Carefully deconstructing past relationships with Justine and accepting my place in life was at the bar with a pint 🙂
4. Sitting on the opposite side of the table at Megs so I could step out of line without getting hit (at least not directly)
5. Lion(ess)
6. What you actually do to fill in those huge gaps between your occasional lectures 😛

Kate

1. Trustworthy, always optimistic friend who often gets me into trouble despite not meaning to 😉
2. Movie: Singing in the Rain, Song: 5, 6, 7, 8 – Steps, mainly because of the dance machines at Blackpool/bowling
3. Natalie’s Law (and Paul’s alternative 🙂 or so many cards that you can’t open the letterbox
4. I can’t remember exactly when, but it was probably you and Lizzy plotting something at Warped and making me paranoid, or possibly you making Gareth a cat outfit whilst watching Bladerunner
5. Cats, mainly because you have two (although I’ve never seen them)
6. Why we talk so much despite the fact that we seem to have very little in common

Haslam

1. Fellow Carling, Mini Cheddars and curry fanatic!
2. Song: Reach – S Club (sad I know but it reminds me of good times at Yates’)
3. Dunno really, chances are most things would also make sense to Dan as well
4. It’s going a long time back as I’ve known you since primary school, but probably the times when I used to go round to Lewis’/Taylor’s and you were there
5. Cats, because you seem to like them a lot and use them as your avatars sometimes
6. What you’re up to at the moment, because I don’t really see you much

Peter

1. Decent chap, always a laugh and not someone to argue with because you always win
2. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
3. I doubt there is anything that would make sense to both of us but no-one else
4. I honestly don’t know, probably when we used to go out as a group for a pint (or two, or three or…) in Bury
5. Tiger, don’t know why it was just the first one that came into my head when picturing you
6. What’s it like to live in Scouseland? 😉

Lazy Heys (David)

1. Keen hiker and good sense of humour, someone you can rely on
2. Movie: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, mainly because it’s where I remember first bumping into you
3. I can’t think of anything (damn this question is proving difficult!) since we’ve never really discussed anything outside of Warped
4. Being introduced by Rachel at the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (sorry first memory is of just before such an appalling film 😉
5. Hmm, hard to think of anything but a Cat for obvious reasons 🙂
6. What it’s like designing bridges for a job (and the other stuff you do)

Masati (Jon)

1. Reliable chap who I get on with despite getting broken most weeks at the pub 🙂
2. Movie: probably Bladerunner as I remember feeling rather timid when we watched it at your house and I didn’t really know anyone that well
3. I don’t think there is anything, the only things I can think of are probably common knowledge in Warped
4. Online: Crossing swords on disc about topics like spam/politics / Offline: Bladerunner was the first time probably (certainly that I can remember)
5. Tiger or a lion
6. What you actually do at LARPing (I’m going to regret putting this aren’t I? 😉

Ed

1. Someone to have a good laugh with, and fellow appreciator of the wonders of pies and sausage rolls!
2. Movie: Flash Gordon when we watched it at Kirk’s house
3. Cuddly toy
4. You arriving with Lizzy at the Warped pub crawl
5. Has to be a guinea pig
6. What you’ll do when you finish uni this year

Cez

1. Good friend to have around, looks scarier than he really is 🙂
2. Movie: Rocky Horror Picture Show, seeing as we watched it at your house, Song: Probably Danger! High Voltage – Electric Six as it reminds me of terrible attempts to dance to it by most of the blokes 🙂
3. Hmm, I don’t think there is anything to be honest, the only things I can think of would make sense to at least one other person at Warped
4. Warped Scrabble night where you were the first person that I didn’t know to come and talk to me
5. Has to be a Cezephant elephant 😉
6. Don’t think there is anything I’ve been wondering, except perhaps why it takes so long for you to see what’s going on in Warped 🙂
