# Red
1. Closest red thing to you?
One heavy duty manganese battery. I know it's manganese, cos it says so. I'm on my dad's computer.
2. Last thing that made you angry?
The way people put guitar tabs up on the internet that are just completely WRONG. I mean really, really OBVIOUSLY wrong, because when you try out the real thing YOU CAN TELL YOU'VE GOT IT RIGHT. This isn't a matter of the wrong key or the wrong form of a chord or the wrong strumming pattern, they've actually put the right fret on the wrong string in some cases and THESE ARE THE SORTS OF THINGS YOU DO NOTICE.
3. Do you have a temper?:
Um. See, the thing with that is... I am easily affected by various brain-chemistry. But I'm actually not particularly angry about most things I get ANGRY RAR about. It's annoying, and I rant a lot, because I'm a very excitable person. I don't actually care once the problem is fixed. I never hold grudges. So I suppose I do have a temper, but it's an awfully shallow one.
4. Last warning you were given?:
My boyfriend told me this afternoon to make sure I talk to someone about my drama monologue ideas before implementing them. I can't blame him, I keep having ideas that sound great in my head but once I try to explain them to the real world turn out to actually be irreversibly stupid.
5. Ever been in love?:
I tend to answer this question with "how can you tell?" and get the answer "If you can't tell, you haven't." But hey, I'm seventeen, what do you want?
6. Are you a fan of romance?:
Well, not a fan, per se. But romance is nice.
# Orange
1. Closest orange thing to you?:
A tea mug, formerly containing TEA.
2. Do you like to burn things?:
yessss. burney for the win.
3. Dress up for Halloween?:
Yup! Oooh, that's coming up, isn't it...
4. Are you usually a warm-hearted person?:
Yeah, I guess. I have a soft spot for the underdog. Mostly because it's not an overdog.
5. Do you have anything against ginger hair?:
Nothing at all. I've always wondered what colour ginger actually is, though.
6. Are you usually full of energy?:
Only when I get all excited and ranty. Otherwise I'm pretty lethargic. But that might just be because I don't drink enough water.
# Yellow
1. Closest yellow thing to you?:
A floppy disk. Lol! It's a floppy! Ahaha they still exist! Remember the good old A drive days?
2. The happiest time of your life?:
Is still to come, I hope, since it has been steadily improving so far.
3. Favourite holiday?:
Summer. Apart from the heat... and the mosquitoes... and the flies... and the moths and the cockroaches andthespidersandthe BUT SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE SO LONG AND I AM LAZY AHAHA.
4. What makes you smile?:
Funny things. And kitties. Even when they claw your leg. Hey, dog people put up with all that slobber...
5. Are you a coward?:
Yup! I'm absolutely terrified of many, many things, mostly involving people. This may explain why I've had such a stressful week. I had a holiday with just the family and suddenly there's CROWDS OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE OMG.
6. Do you burn or tan?:
I freckle.
# Green
1. Closest green thing to you?:
A bookmark from the State Library of NSW.
2. Do you care about the environment?:
Yes, theoretically. I'm not very active about it, I just turn off taps and light switches and stuff.
3. Are you jealous of anyone right now?:
Not really. I tend to get jealous when people are better at things than me, but I generally comfort myself with things that I'm better than them at.
4. Are you a lucky person?:
They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate -
The cards and stars that tumble as they will.
Tomorrow manifests and brings the bill
For every kiss and kill, the small and great.
You want to know the future, love? Then wait:
I'll answer your impatient questions. Still-
They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate,
The cards and stars that tumble as they will.
I'll come to you tonight, dear, when it's late,
You will not see me; you may feel a chill.
I'll wait until you sleep, then take my fill,
And that will be your future on a plate.
They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate.
"Reading the Entrails: A Rondel" - by Neil Gaiman.
5. Do you always want what you can't have?:
Yeah, probably. I'm the eternal perfectionist.
6. Do you like being outdoors?:
Hmm... I like to LOOK at the outdoors. I'm not really bothered about being there, because often it's too cold or too hot, and more importantly BUGS OMG.
# Blue
1. Closest blue thing to you?:
My little brother's slippers. He's sitting next to me on the stairs and slandering the cat.
2. Are you good at calming people down?:
God knows, I try, but I'm probably the wrong person to do it!
3. Do you like the sea?:
Ye-es. More from a, you know, dead victorian poet sort of perspective than a modern one. I'd much rather sit upon a lonely crag and watch the pretty waves crash on the cliffs than count my freckles surrounded by screaming children.
4. Last thing that made you cry?:
I just watched Children of Men - very moving, I didn't cry but I could have.
5. Are you a logical thinker?:
Yeah, but no, but yah, but no, but yah, but no, but she's a fucking slag anyway so whatever.
6. Can you sleep easily?:
It usually takes me a while, but then I'm out like a log. I'd sleep through a zombie invasion.
# Purple
1. Closest purple thing to you?:
An ad on the back of a Russian magazine. The ad's in English, the magazine contains some awesome photographs set up to resemble old paintings (they do), some articles about Winona Ryder and some guy in a dress, and many photographs of women in their underwear. Some of them are even ads for underwear.
2. Like being treated to expensive things?:
I actually just tend to feel awkward and like I ought to pay people back.
3. Do you like mysterious things?:
Nooo, I can't stand the suspense! I must know what happens next! Stupid future.
4. Favourite type of chocolate?:
The kind that doesn't taste like chocolate. I realise this is a big ask, so I generally don't put people to the trouble and just eat toffee.
5. Ever met anyone in royalty?:
I knew the Queen when she used to rock and roll. Now there's a song that brings to mind bizarre images of HRM and an electric guitar.
6. Are you creative?:
Yes, well, I've got to be, don't I? I'm not bloody good at anything else!
# Pink
1. Closest pink thing to you?:
A ribbon. It is shiny. It is also now significantly closer, because my brother saw me looking around for something pink, and as soon as I found it demanded it to play with. He's now wrapping it around the stair railing.
2. Are you gay/bisexual?:
The latter, well, as far as I can tell without, you know, physical proof. Although I'm rather fond of the term "private-list-sexual". I suspect getting this term out of a fanfic makes me a big damn geek, but it's not my fault if
mistful is good at coining phrases...
3. Do you like sweet foods?:
OM NOM NOM NOM NOM. But not too sweet, not like moon cake or anything. Just straight sugar will do me fine.
4. Like play-fighting?:
Verbal sparring, certainly. I don't think I've ever had a physical play fight that didn't involve people trying to get me out of bed in the morning.
5. Are you sensitive?:
PYes, unfortunately. I've had to develop somthing of a pain tolerance, what with my tendency to walk into walls and things, but similar social experience does not appear to have reduced my tendency to agonise over conversations.
6. Do you like punk music?:
I'm so punk rawk I don't even have any piercings. Because I'm too punk for them. No but seriously, pun is my favourite musical genre. It's the only one where I can stand to listen to mediocre music. Bad music, however, can be as punk as that punk that feels lucky, and still be shite.
# White
1. Closest white thing to you?:
The keyboard. I bet thee's going to be an innocence question.
2. Would you say you're innocent?:
Amd, hey, presto! What does presto even mean? I suppose I am innocent, in the sense of being easily embarrassed, but not in the sense of being ignorant.
3. Always try to keep the peace?:
Yeah, I'm the peacemaker. I'm the one who runs around reminding people that fighting is really not worth the bother and while we're all here how's about getting some, yaknow, useful things done?
4. How do you imagine your wedding, if you want one?:
Highly ironic, perverse and paradoxical. I want to do something bizarre like climb out the window of the registry office or change plans at the last minute and make all the guests in their suits and frills go sit in a park and drink vodka.
5. Do you like to play in the snow?:
Yesss! Snow is lovely! But cold. I love to play in the snow with several layers of warm clothing on. Hee!
6. Are you afraid of going to the doctor's or dentist's?:
Funny thing, that. I've always been fine with doctors and dentists and all, but I find myself oddly nervous in a chiropracter's office. Why is that?
# Black
1. Closest black thing to you?:
Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors.
2. Ever enjoy hurting people?:
I probably would, if it was self defense. Adrenaline, and all that. Under normal circumstances, I can't stand to watch people get hurt, let alone do it myself.
3. Are you sophisticated or silly?:
MAHAHAHAguess. (I've been called sophisticated by an essay marker, though)
4. Afraid of death?:
Nope. Afraid of painful death, yes, but that's more like afraid of pain.
5. Would you like to go to space?:
One thing you can say about it - you sure don't get those sunrises anywhere else.
6. Do you have a lot of secrets?:
Not that many, actually. Everything tends to come out sooner or later. There's things I don't talk about, but that's not on purpose. I would if it was neccessary, or if someone really wanted to know.
# As the day draws to a close...
1. What is your favorite colour?:
Black! No, red! No, blue! No, green! Mwargh... well, it sure ain't pink, I can tell you that.
2. Does the colour you wear affect your mood?:
That's simply ludicrous!
3. What colour are your bedroom walls?:
Blue. It's all very colour coordinated, which makes up for it being completely uncoordinated in any other way.
4. You prefer contrasting or harmonising colors?:
Contrast, probably.
5. Do you like to paint?:
Yes. Well.. no, not really, because I can never get the picture in my head onto the paper. I gave up ages ago, and I don't have any materials in the house, even if I had time to start again.
6. What colour do you think best symbolises your personality?:
Is rainbow a colour? Or strobe, or something? Ooh, I know! Octarine!
