			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone linked me to this on Facebook, and I&#8217;m a sucker for pointless surveys when I should be doing something more useful, so here you go <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-606"></span></p>
<p>1.EVER BEEN GIVEN AN ENGAGEMENT RING?<br />
No, though I live in hope <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> So long as it&#8217;s a small, unobtrusive engagement ring that didn&#8217;t cost anyone very much money.</p>
<p>2. LONGEST RELATIONSHIP?<br />
Is it bad if I say I can no longer remember?! About three and a half years, I think. Less than four definitely, but more than three.</p>
<p>3. LAST GIFT YOU RECEIVED?<br />
Crikey, I&#8217;m not sure… Erm, Tim bought me some really cool books in July when we went to Buxton, as well as a learning to drive kit which I intend to make some proper use of very shortly <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>4. EVER DROPPED A MOBILE PHONE?<br />
I think I drop my phone at least once a day, I&#8217;m kinda clumsy like that. The good news is that so far I&#8217;ve never actually dropped it in the toilet.</p>
<p>5. WHEN&#8217;S THE LAST TIME YOU WORKED OUT?<br />
Worked out? Me? Erm, I don&#8217;t do exercise <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>6. THING(S) YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON?<br />
Probably holidays. Not that I normally go on expensive holidays, but over the course of a year I try to go on lots of cheap holidays, which adds up.</p>
<p>7. LAST FOOD YOU ATE?<br />
Lebkuchen. Oh yes, it&#8217;s that time of year again &#8211; Lidl are selling Lebkuchen <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>8. FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?<br />
It depends which way they&#8217;re facing, clearly. If I see them from the front, I&#8217;d look at the eyes. If I see them from behind, I&#8217;d see what the arse was like.</p>
<p>9. ONE FAVORITE SONG?<br />
Of all time? Ash, Sometimes.</p>
<p>10. WHERE DO YOU LIVE?<br />
Birmingham. For now. I never thought I&#8217;d say this, but hopefully I&#8217;ll soon be living in Nuneaton!</p>
<p>11. HIGH SCHOOL YOU ATTENDED:<br />
St Paul&#8217;s School for Girls. It was an interesting experience.</p>
<p>12. CELL PHONE SERVICE PROVIDER:<br />
One of my phones is on O2, the other is on T Mobile.</p>
<p>13. FAVORITE SHOP:<br />
I hate shopping <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> Probably Waterstones, although I rarely buy books.</p>
<p>14. LONGEST JOB YOU HAD:<br />
I&#8217;ve been at GT for over three years now &#8211; how shocking <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>15. DO YOU OWN A PAIR OF DICE?<br />
A pair? No. I have one die; it&#8217;s the sort where you throw it and it tells you whether you ought to watch tv or make a cup of tea. I did once have some kinky dice, but I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happened to them.</p>
<p>16. DO YOU PRANK CALL PEOPLE?:<br />
Ha. Cue onslaught of Catholic guilt. I did on one occasion, yeah. I learnt the hard way that it isn&#8217;t a very clever idea. Don&#8217;t ever do it, seriously.</p>
<p>17. LAST WEDDING YOU ATTENDED?:<br />
Oooh, if you mean wedding as in ceremony, it was Hannah&#8217;s in April <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> If you mean wedding as in party, it was a lady that Tim works with a month or so ago. </p>
<p>18. FIRST FRIEND YOU&#8217;D CALL IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY:<br />
I&#8217;d call Tim to get him to check the numbers in case I&#8217;d got them wrong.</p>
<p>19. LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR BEST FRIEND(S):<br />
Now I feel inadequate because I don&#8217;t have a best friend…</p>
<p>20. FAVORITE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT:<br />
It&#8217;s got to be Burger King. I mean seriously, Burger King is so superior to MacDonalds it&#8217;s not even funny <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>21. BIGGEST LIE YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?<br />
Someone who said they were dying when they were actually in perfect health. Quite sickening behaviour.</p>
<p>22. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?<br />
Depends. If we&#8217;re talking about guys, definitely brunette. If we&#8217;re talking about girls, definitely blonde.</p>
<p>23. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL MOST OFTEN?<br />
If I say 1471 is that going to make me sound really sad?!</p>
<p>24. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?<br />
Accountancy, regrettably.</p>
<p>25. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY?<br />
I was trying to do a Pentana on a set of charity accounts without having last year&#8217;s answers to copy and not getting very far.</p>
<p>26. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY WHAT WOULD IT BE?<br />
I would never, ever have plastic surgery. Unless I&#8217;d been in some sort of accident and needed it to repair nerves or tendons or something. But never for cosmetic reasons.</p>
<p>27. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?<br />
Because it seemed more attractive than finishing the Pentana, or writing a summary of non-existent JEB activity over the past three months, which is what I ought to be doing.</p>
<p>28. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?<br />
I don&#8217;t think I ever get complimented :&#8217;( A client complimented me today on the colour-coding I used on my spreadsheet, but otherwise I&#8217;m struggling…</p>
<p>29. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?<br />
Regret that I wasted so many years not drinking.</p>
<p>30. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?<br />
Personally, I don&#8217;t want kids at all but that&#8217;s rather selfish, so I guess I want however many Tim wants.</p>
<p>31. DO YOU WISH ON STARS?<br />
Sometimes, yeah. I&#8217;m a little superstitious.</p>
<p>32. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?<br />
I think my handwriting is truly amazing, unlike Tim&#8217;s which is utterly illegible <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>33. WHEN DID YOU LOSE YOUR VIRGINITY?<br />
How nosy! It was October 9th, 2006. At least, that&#8217;s the day I intended to lose it but it was an early hours of the morning sort of thing, so possibly it was actually October 10th.</p>
<p>34. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?<br />
I doubt it, I probably wouldn&#8217;t get round to saying hello to myself.</p>
<p>35. DO LOOKS MATTER?<br />
Depends. Clothes etc don&#8217;t matter. Attractiveness does, but people can be attractive without technically being good looking.</p>
<p>36. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?<br />
I cry, or eat chocolate, or go for a fast walk. </p>
<p>37. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?<br />
New Street station, I seem to spend half my life passing through it.</p>
<p>38. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?<br />
Yes, I can be a little naïve.</p>
<p>39. DO YOU USE SARCASM?<br />
I try, but I find foreigners tend to misunderstand it so perhaps I don&#8217;t use it very well <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>40. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?<br />
Happily no.</p>
<p>41. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?<br />
Radio. You can call me that but please, don&#8217;t ever call me Klara.</p>
<p>42. WHAT&#8217;S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?<br />
Mint chocolate chip.</p>
<p>43. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?<br />
None, I&#8217;ve had them removed.</p>
<p>44. CAN YOU COOK?<br />
Pasta, yep.</p>
<p>45. WHAT CAR DO YOU DRIVE?:<br />
I don&#8217;t drive. Tim drives a nice car, it&#8217;s sort of silvery.</p>
<p>46. BEST DATE YOU&#8217;VE EVER BEEN ON?<br />
It would be easier to tell you the worst ones! Perhaps the second date I ever went on, which was ice-skating back in the day when Planet Ice was the place to be. Soooo exciting!</p>
<p>47. LAST TIME YOU CRIED?:<br />
Monday night, when I suddenly had a very nasty thought. Can&#8217;t tell you what it is for a few weeks until I clarify whether there&#8217;s actually something to cry about or not.</p>
<p>48. MOST DISLIKED FOODS:<br />
Green ones.</p>
<p>49. LONGEST SHIFT YOU HAVE WORKED AT A JOB?:<br />
15 hours. </p>
<p>50. FAVORITE MOVIE(S)?<br />
Goodbye Lenin, The Lives of Others</p>
<p>51. CAN YOU SING?<br />
No, not at all. Please don&#8217;t ask me to!</p>
<p>52. LAST FIGHT?<br />
Was about Cardinal Newman, and I lost.</p>
<p>53.ONE THING YOU NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT:<br />
Definitely my mobile phones &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t live without at least one.</p>
<p>54. FAVORITE ITEM<br />
Duck!</p>
<p>55. LAPTOP OR DESKTOP COMPUTER?:<br />
I&#8217;d kill for either, but am dreaming of buying a laptop one day.</p>
<p>56. DO YOU SMOKE?<br />
No, but I don&#8217;t mind when Tim does &#8211; I like the taste.</p>
<p>57. SLEEP WITH OR WITHOUT CLOTHES?<br />
With pyjamas if I&#8217;m on my own, without otherwise.</p>
<p>58. WHO SLEEPS WITH YOU EVERY NIGHT?<br />
Duck!</p>
<p>59. DO LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS WORK?<br />
Yes, I honestly believe that they can if both parties want them to. And online relationships can work out too <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>60. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE?<br />
Never, I&#8217;m a good girl. Plus I don&#8217;t have a car.</p>
<p>61. DO YOU LIKE COFFEE?:<br />
Haha, it depends who you ask <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>62 HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS?<br />
Scrambled</p>
<p>63. DO YOU BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY?:<br />
No, definitely not. Although I occasionally get it confused with astronomy, which I do believe in.</p>
<p>64. LAST PERSON ON YOUR MISSED CALL LIST?:<br />
A PR guy who keeps hassling me about wanting to take a sideways photo.</p>
<p>65. WHAT WAS THE LAST TEXT MESSAGE YOU RECIEVED?:<br />
From Tim, saying he&#8217;ll collect me at 1 tomorrow.</p>
<p>66. NUMBER OF PILLOWS?:<br />
One sadly, but I aspire to have two.</p>
<p>67. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?:<br />
Pyjamas with hippos on.</p>
<p>68. CAN YOU PLAY POOL?:<br />
No. I find the rules a little complex.</p>
<p>69. DO YOU LIKE MAPS?<br />
Only if they&#8217;re Ordnance Survey. Foreign maps are woefully inadequate &#8211; they just don&#8217;t have the same quality of detail!</p>
<p>70. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?:<br />
Spring.</p>
<p>71. WHAT TIME DID YOU WAKE UP THIS MORNING?<br />
6.01. I was trying to set the alarm for 6.00, but overshot slightly.</p>
<p>72. BEST THING ABOUT WINTER?:<br />
I can go outside without getting sunburnt!</p>
<p>73. LAST TIME A COPPER GAVE YOU A TICKET?:<br />
Never</p>
<p>74. DO YOU THINK PIRATES ARE COOL OR OVERRATED?:<br />
Overrated, definitely. Pirate English will never supplant Esperanto as the universal language <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>75. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS WEEKEND?<br />
Seeing Tim, trying to work through my backlog of unfulfilled Esperanto commitments.</p>
<p>76. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE:<br />
Married, not an auditor, and the owner of a house with lots of bookshelves.</p>
<p>77. WHAT&#8217;S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET?<br />
Wilfully hurting people that I love with pointless lies.</p>
<p>78: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?<br />
I suppose so, but I dislike the concept of being in love. People can fall in and out of love at the drop of a hat &#8211; does it really mean so much? The sort of love that matters is more permanent than that.</p>
<p>79. ARE YOU SMILING?:<br />
No, should I be?</p>
<p>80: DO YOU PREFER TO SMILE WITH A TOOTHY GRIN OR A CLOSED MOUTH?<br />
I have no idea, I don&#8217;t normally smile at the mirror. I suspect I keep my mouth closed when it&#8217;s an obligatory polite smile.</p>
<p>81. DO YOU MISS SOMEONE RIGHT NOW?<br />
Yeah <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>82. IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br />
Somewhere in Germany, I don&#8217;t mind where.</p>
<p>83. DO YOU HAVE A HIGH SEX-DRIVE?<br />
No, I really don&#8217;t think so. But Tim has on occasion compared me to a teenage boy and rationed me to five shags a day, so perhaps…</p>
<p>84. DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH?:<br />
No.</p>
<p>85. NIGHT OR DAY?<br />
Day, if it&#8217;s a weekend; night if it&#8217;s a weekday.</p>
<p>86. PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?<br />
I play the guitar shockingly badly. </p>
<p>87. DID YOU GO ON VACATION LAST MONTH?:<br />
October? Nah, sadly not.</p>
<p>88. DO YOU HAVE SISTERS/BROTHERS?<br />
One sister</p>
<p>89. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO JAIL?<br />
No, but if I do I console myself that at least it will be fun in the showers <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>90. DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SEE ANYONE IN PARTICULAR RIGHT NOW?<br />
Not really. I&#8217;m seeing Tim tomorrow, so no rush.</p>
<p>91. FAVORITE SPORT?<br />
Isn&#8217;t that an oxymoron?!</p>
<p>92. YOUR HAIR COLOR?<br />
Horrible mousey sort of brown.</p>
<p>93. YOUR EYE COLOR?<br />
Blue. Ish.</p>
<p>94. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES?<br />
No, but I wish Tim would, I find them quite attractive <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Tongue.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>95. YOU LIKE SUSHI?<br />
Eeek, no. I don&#8217;t eat fish cooked, never mind raw.</p>
<p>96. LAST THING YOU WATCHED<br />
HIGNFY &#8211; it was hilarious this week!</p>
<p>97. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?<br />
Christmas.</p>
<p>98. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT?<br />
Yes, at least in real life. I might manage it in an email</p>
<p>99. STRANGEST PLACE HAD SEX?<br />
In a wood in Herzberg-am-Harz, the Esperanto-urbo <img src='http://radioclare.com/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Radio/Smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>100. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO AFTER THIS SURVEY?<br />
Sleep!</p>
