A somewhat useless questionnaire...

From millikan. I've just finished the first draft of an EU translation so pardon my reluctance for more elaborate translations if the questions or answers those require.

1. What did you do exactly 24 hours ago?
At 19.51 p.m. I... what did I do... I was probably on the computer. Yes, listing possible songs for a funeral at YouTube.

2. How did you meet the person who is the seventh person on your cell phone's number list?
She started studying the same major at the same time with me and the thirteen others. Met her on the first day, talked to her probably some time during the first week, possibly at some of the first lecture on basic studies there was.

3. Do you have a lot of routines?
Neuroses would probably be more accurate word in my case. And the answer is yes. Some might say I'm going to the extremes but it gives the false sense of order and I want to cling to that, even if it requires putting my socks in a certain order in a certain place after I've hanged them dry in a certain place on the drier facing a certain direction.

4. Are you honest?
To some extent I am. To some extent, or if the situation so requires, I am not.

5. Why do you live where you live?
Had problems with the previous land lord and I left when I got sick of waiting for him to do his share of the contract and keep the place from falling apart.

6. Can you say, without checking the calendar, the date of today?
Haven't checked but I wrote down 19th on the bill. Fuck, it's the twentieth. Have to remember to correct the dates on the bills.

7. When is the last time you cooked?
I suppose warming a pizza in the oven doesn't qualify for cooking... in which case I can't remember.

8. Can you name the first CD you bought?
My first C-tape was 'Jagged Little Pill' by Alanis Morrisette. As for the CD... no recollection of that.

9. What kind of a position are you in at the present time?
I'm sitting on a chair in a quite upright position regardless of my not-so-stern way of carrying myself.

10. What is your family like? Who belong to your family?
Mother, little sister and little brother. Not my family of choice.

11. What would you like to happen tomorrow?
I'd like to go to the gym and to Combat. Haven't been there in a long time.

12. How many secrets do you have?
Quite a few public secrets I'm sure. Actual secrets... a few of those as well, some more serious than others. But you said it millikan, "[e]ri ihmisille eri salaisuuksia".

13. Do you dream a lot in the night? Share the latest.
Yes, I see dreams and unfortunately remember quite well them, too. Last night I dreamt of watching a 3D porn film starring Kevin Spacey with Ron Jeremy's dick (supposing he doesn't have one similar to the original of his own, that is... wouldn't know). I'm sure you're all feeling sooo locky to know this. It was gay porn, by the way.

14. Are you shy rather than wild?
Shy, I guess. But really, are those the extremes of the same line? I think not.

15. Do you sense if someone stares at you?
Since I don't recall ever sensing such a thing and also noting that the possibilities of this not happening are quite low, the logical conclusion is that I clearly do not sense that.

16. Who was the person you shook hands with the last time?
No idea when's the last time I shook hands so no identity, either.

17. What do you see when you close your eyes?
The square reflection of the screen in darkness.

18. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Five.

19. How many people were in the biggest audience to whom you've performed?
There were probably 40+ people in that on lecture where I did an ex tempore presentation on George W. Bush's (ab)use of language.

20. What was the best thing of the day?
Can't think of much. It was a regular beneath neutral day for me. I could name the worst thing: the two drunkards behind me in the store. Their mere presence is enough to incite numerous violent non-fantasies in my mind.

21. Do you classify people?
Everyone does, and I'm not an exception to 'everyone'.

22. From how high do you watch the world?
175 above the ground.

23. Do you have pets?
No.

24. Name a positive feature in a human being?
Mortality.

25. Oletko tullut enemmän äitiin vai isään?
I don't care. I only avoid being either of them.

26. Do you believe in miracles?
No.

27. When are you more busy, during the weekdays or during the weekend?
Weekdays.

28. Were you happy when you woke up this morning?
Not particularly happy nor sad. Perplexed due to Kevin Spacey.

29. Have you met you grandparents' parents?
I have met my father's mother's father. He's the only one.

30. What kills interest (when speaking of humans)?
I suppose it would be easier to list the things that don't kill interest.

31. Are you jealous at others?
Yes. Sometimes I wish for their ability to ignore the shit on this planet but then I start wondering if it really were any better, to go from sensitivity to ignorance. No, it wouldn't.

32. Have you ever been sellign in a second-hand market place?
Yes.

33. When does a person live the best time in their lives?
When a person dies and realises there is no God. Those who figured that out during this lifetime are happy, those who didn't suffer for all the lost chances for a more enjoyable life. Wait.. no I sound like a Christian. Okay... there's no such thing as 'the best time of a life'. Hmm... no, the best time is when a person dies and that's the end of it. Nothing. Niente. Nada. End of story, goodbye, the end.

34. How many cousins do you have?
Four.

35. Do you write a diary?
Unless you count blogging as keeping a diary, then not.

36. When is the last time you cried and why?
Can't remember.

37. What reminds you of last summer?
Many books.

38. Are we all indispensible to someone or something?
No. As indivisuals we may be unique but not indispensible.

39. Describe your natural hair colour.
Some cue of brown with an odd blond stripe.

40. Whose name day it is on your birthday?
A person I would have cursed to hell if I believed in the existence of the place about a year ago. A straight male co-student who insisted to go for a coffee with me. No positive connotations from that department.

41. Have you ever gone to a bathroom during a film?
Eh, no. Most adults are probably capable of controlling their bladder for a couple of hours.

42. Is inner beauty invented by and for the ugly?
Yes. The only beauty is on the outside.

43. Do you ever go to sleep with your make-up on?
Don't do make-up (unless black nailpolis is make-up in which case yes. It takes so much damn work to get the polish there that I wouldn't do it to be worn for a single day).

44. Can you cook rice?
Haven't tried but I suppose that's what the instructions are for.

45. Do you like loneliness?
A newsflash: "Alone I stand, alone I fall". And you, too.

46. Do you have dreams?
I was just asked this on Tuesday. No, still don't. No point.

47. Your favourite season of the year?
Late-autumn (=after the nights are below zero), winter, and the beginnign of spring (until the nights are above zero).
