Character building questions meme thing

1. Who are you?
Simon Lewis. 

2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
No. My mum didn’t really have time for that sort of thing.

3. How old are you?
Late 20s

4. What's your height?
Not very tall but I don’t know the numbers.

5. Are you a virgin?
If its not a personal question! No.

6. Who's your mate/spouse?
I have some mates but not in the sense this question means.

7. Do you have any kids?
Not that I know of.

8. What's your favourite food?
At the moment I am enjoying Nandos a lot. But mostly I like pizza.

9. Have you killed anyone?
Not that I am aware of.

10. Have any secrets?
Not really; I’m a pretty straight-forward sort of person.

11. Do you love anyone?
No.

12. What is your job?
I do something with boxes at The Staines Box Company.  Mostly it is too boring and/or technical for anyone to understand, even other people who work there…

13. Boy or girl?
Girl please!

14. What do you do to relax?
I used to play computer games and listen to music and draw. At the moment I don’t really relax.

15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?
I’m pretty relaxed and don’t generally suffer too much with that sort of thing.  I’d probably laugh along if it was a reasonable joke.

16. Let’s say you have a person who you really care about but she/he doesn’t know about your feelings. How do you tell her/him?
No idea. Next question…

17. What do you regret most in life?
I don’t really know. That old saying that ignorance is bliss, well I’m wrestling with that a lot at the moment.  Maybe I regret losing my ignorance of certain things and maybe I don’t.  I do regret not making more effort at helicopter piloting.

18. Do you like your maker?
I don’t know what that question means. This is a stupid meme now.

19. Do you dream?
Sometimes. Recently I have had some nightmares, which I haven’t had since I was a kid.  That sucks.

So the other day I saw a ghost.

There Ive said it.  Not sure what to do about it really or what it means but I want to say it out loud (as it were) somewhere. 

It's not the sort of thing that you think about too much, what would happen if I saw a ghost.  Well now I have and I don't know what happens.  It is wierd.  SOme days I sort of don't thin kabout it, then suddenly I remember, oh yeah, it wasn't a dream or a movie or whatever.  It was a GHOST.

Me again (again)

Its been a long time since I was here and I have a new friend.  Sorry I haven't been posting much but it has beeen hectic at work for a change - the company had a quality inspection which bascially no one even noticed except me and I had to run around all day every day providing them with the paperwork they wanted to prove that we have an efficient and effective QC procedure (when in fact what we have is me...)

Anyway at the weekend I will again be going to the Runnymede Fortean Group and seein gwhat they have to say for themselves. Last time it was awesome, although a bit horrible in places.  Beats the hell out of Dawn of War 2 though which is pissing me right off. 

On an unrelated matter, proof that the internet really does cater for everything: http://www.horseisle.com/ (worksafe; game-related)

Hello again.

  • Mar. 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 PM

Well Im back from holiday although to be honest it wasn’t much of a holiday.  And Ive mostly forgotten it now anyway but suffice to say that Ive finished FEAR2 and also played a bit of Eve, although I cant get with the MMPOG thing so I don’t think I will be putting too much effort into that.

The weekend was a bit more eventful although I don’t want to go into too much detail here. Its enough to say that I saw some pretty disgusting stuff and met some new people who seemed to be fairly cool with it all.  I will definitely be seeing them again to see what comes out of our adventure.  

I should probably make some sort of shout out to my new friends in fact since they all promised to join my live journal readership. My existing reader should be pleased at least since several of them expressed an interest in his web comic.

A weekend report

  • Feb. 23rd, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Box
So the weekend was a bit thrown out by the fact that this Paranormal Society thing is NEXt month - either I misread it or there was a misprint or something.  But anyway, that blew my Sunday a bit.  On the plus side I see Dawn of War 2 is out, as well as FEAR 2 - its a good time for sequal games I guess, even if Far Cry 2 wasnt as great as it might have been.

I considered starting my own webcomic, but it looks like too much hard work.  I draw pretty well but also very slowly.  And  Idon't think I have the right style for little box pictures with lots of detail.  So instead I guess I will spend my days pretending to work. 

Next week I think the Watchmen film is out - that looks great from the trailer.  I should get my arse into gear and read the book but all these years I haven't what are the odds I bother now that there's a movie I ca nwatch instead?

Its Friday!

Am I the only person who finds the sound of pouring really annoying?

Everyone else ahs their appraisal today.  Not me though.  If I am lucky, my boss has forgotten I exist.  I think that would be wishful thinking on her part.

Also, check out these arrogant pricks, with their arrogant prick website.

This sort of thing makes my boss touch herself I think.  It just makes me want to be sick though. 
THEY'RE BOXES GET OVER IT

But otherwise everything is going really well.  I must get out and pick up FEAR 2 though.  Supernatural SOciety this weekend which will either be a riot or pretty grim I expect.  You can't really expect an happy medium from that sort of passtime.

Links to stuff

Here are things that have entertained me over the past few work-free days:

Dark Places webcomic.
http://darkplacescomic.com/?cat=3
A sort of lofi effort that keeps me interested mostly because I honestly have no idea waht is going on, what will happen next, or who anyone involved is.  It makes a refreshing change from stuff that looks like the Lord of the Rings.

Daily dinosaurs.
http://www.qwantz.com/
More random webcomicry, this time with jokes and dinosaurs.

Wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_the_cat
Because everyone likes stupid trivia.

A Tales in the Dessert.
http://www.atitd.com/
MMPORG sort of thing.

I am back.

I expect you've all missed me.  Both of you.  Anyway, I was ill with some sort of mystery illness type flu that has been sweeping the area.  Nice few days off work though - finished FarCry 2 and browsed some stuff on the net.

Work is quiet cause lots of people seem to be on holiday this week.  Im looking forward to havin ga look at the Runnymede Occult Society (or whatever it is they are called) at the weekend - probably it will be a bunch of wierdos but maybe not.  See me with my open mind being all open-minded.  But seriously, it will make a change to do something unusual that isnt someone elses idea.

Hollyoakes has been a bit dull lately - I feel like we've seen it all before.  Maybe I just need a break from it and watch something else; it will still be there when I want to come back to it.  Maybe I'll watch a bit of UKGold, those old shows can be sort of fun.

Lunchtime now, although I might post some links later to stuff I have been reading about.
