Starting to answer these questions.

Seriously? Not saying.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you.

All facts about me are weird.

16. Do you have any pets?

Let's say we are between pets.

Well enough to sorta fake it if you don't look too close. You should probably be fairly drunk as well. It might help if I was.

27. What 's your favorite bar to hang at?

ħ (gee I hope that shows up okay)

Not a ghost of a chance. I believe in goats, does that count?

Fuck no. I swear exactly the right amount.

31. Biggest pet peeve?
- Elephants in pink dresses. They should really know pink isn't their colour and stop inflicting it on my eyes every time I go to the train station.

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
- Brilliant

33. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
- I must admit I'm rather curious as to what you would write, so yeah, probably.
