Random Questions Make Me Laugh.

I recently got another of these survey emails so instead of sending it out to everybody and their dog I'm posting it here for anyone who's interested. That way I don't get any hate mail from my friends and family who are sick to death of surveys! It's win, win really.


1. What time did you get up? 9am.

2. If you could eat lunch with one person, who would it be? I think I'm still gonna go with John Cusack. He just seems fun you know? Or maybe Johnny Depp. Just so he could sit there and look cool. No. John Cusack.

3. Gold or silver? White gold. That way you don't have the dilemma. It's got the shiny silverness of silver but the swankiness of gold. It's the perfect precious metal. Unless of course you want to talk about platinum. And who doesn't want to talk about platinum!?

4. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? The cinema? I love it when people call it the cinema! It sounds so much cooler than theatre. I haven't been to the cinema for ages!! Maybe it was Spiderman 2.

5. What is your favorite TV show? At the moment I'm addicted to 24. I've watched the first season and now I'm working my way through the 2nd but the rental competition is fierce here! The whole frickin' country is addicted to 24! I'm going to have to stake out the video store.

6. What do you have for breakfast? Oh my god! I just woke up! I'm planning on having a couple of those taasty japanese oranges and a glass of water. I can't do food in the morning.

7. Who would you hate to be stuck in a room with? Hmmm...so many choices depending on my mood. My father, his crazy sister, George Bush, the really annoying guy at work, Kohsuke's skank (because I'd have to kill her)...it's a long list really. I'm going to add a more positive version of this question!

7b. Who would you love to be stuck in a room with? Virve, Marya, Marla, Shae, Tom, O'Neil, Kohsuke (what can I say, he's still one of my best friends - he just can't bring his skank), and about a zillion other supa fun people that I can think of but don't want to type out because I'm very lazy.

8. What inspires you? Sunshine. Strong people who know what they want and go after it without squashing people along the way.

9. What is your middle name? Oh god. Why do we always have to talk about it? Brandy. There. Are you happy now?!

10. Beach, city or country? I love this question. Beach located in the country about a 40 minute drive from the city. But if I had to choose just one...city. Maybe. Or maybe beach. But not country.

11. Favorite ice cream? I don't know what it's called. It's some crazy citrusy blend they used to have at the Coombs Old Country Market with the goats on the roof and the whatnot. It had mango and orange and maybe pineapple but I could be adding that one in myself.

12. Butter, plain, or salted popcorn? Popcorn kind of picks my ass now that I think about it. I like the butter and a little salt but I really hate the way bits get stuck in your teeth for hours afterward so you're walking around making these ridiculous faces while trying to poke it out with your tongue. Or maybe that's just me.  

13. Favorite color? Red. Black. Happy, sunshiny yellow (with a hint of orange) and...pink. Shut up. It's happy.

14. What kind of car do you drive? Ha ha! No car here. But in my head I drive a VW Karmenghia. Is it spelt with a K? Or a C? I don't know, but I like it.

15. What is your favorite sandwich? Traditionally a beef dip but I have to say I've become partial to the club.  

16. What characteristic do you despise? Sickly sweet fake niceness (embrace your inner bitch!), dishonesty, arrogance and cruelty.

17. Favorite flower? Sunflower or daisies of the gerber variety or otherwise. I love all flowers really but those are just so forcefully cheerful. Are there any happier flowers than these?

18. If you could go anywhere in the world on a vacation, where would it be?  New York to visit the Beerbah. Or if we take friends out of the equation then Italy. To visit the art.
 
19. What colour is your bath robe? No robe.
 
20. Favorite brand of clothing? Too poor to be a brand girl. I'd like to develop a taste for Chanel or Gaultier. But for now...the Gap and Old Navy. Oooo...and this brand here called Hysteric Glamour. But a t-shirt costs about $70 so...yeah. Lots of skulls and bat wings and fun stuff. It's cool. I have one shirt I found in an outlet store for $25.  

21. Favorite day of the week? I'm going with Saturday. I have to work the next couple of Sundays so it's no longer my favourite. I'm fickle that way.
 
22. What did you do for your last birthday? Had a little partay at the bar downstairs with some friends and then went to FujiQ Highlands Park the next day. It rained. Most of the rides were closed and I was really wigged out the whole time by the weird vibes. Not a stellar birthday to be honest. But the thought was nice.    

23. Where were you born? Drunken Duncan, City of Totems. Vancouver Island, BC, Canada for those of you not familiar with the non-stop party that is Duncan.     

24. Favorite sport to watch? The kind that is over in 10 minutes so I go back to watching something I actually like? Do they have one of those? Ha ha. I'm a good canadian girl. Hockey of course. Or rugby. Rugby is fun.

25. Who do you least expect to send this back to you?  All of the people I didn't send it to.

26. Person you expect to send it back first? Johnny Depp. He's really very attentive. I've told him to back off a little, I need some space but he's just crazy about me. He can't help it. It's the sex vibe I send out. It's really not his fault.


Part II
 
1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Angela Brandy Tomizu (for now)
 
2. WHAT COLOUR PANTS ARE YOU WEARING?  I so don't want to tell you! Black with white stripes down the side. They're my comfy pants!

3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? My dog destroying something. There's some thumping and clicking involved which makes me think it's a shoe.

4. WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT?  Worked, met Kohsuke for dinner and hung out for awhile.

5. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?  Mos Burger!! The best fast food in the universe. It's true.

6. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOUR WOULD YOU BE? The black with silver sparkles. I saw it. It does exist.

7. HOW IS THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW? So nice!! Sunny and cool. Crisp you might say. Or a little nippley but that's just crass.

8. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? Kohsuke.         

9. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX? Depends which way they're facing. Different things in different situations I guess. Probably height. If I'm looking then I note the build, the eyes and the smile. Hands are also key.  
 
10. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU THIS? Yes. She's funny. Funny is good.
 
11. HOW ARE YOU TODAY? I'm okay. The sun is shining, the dog is biting something that is not me...it's a good day.

12. FAVOURITE DRINK? I'm so boring. Water. Then chai latte from Starbucks. Diet coke is also a good thing.

13. FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK? No favourites. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl. Shuji the sexy bartender downstairs makes a mean Alabama Slammer. I'm also quite fond of the strawberry margaritas at Ginas in Nanaimo.

14. FAVOURITE SPORTS? Tonsil hockey? Or do you want a real sport? To do would be cycling, or mountain biking (back when I lived somewhere with mountains and actually had a mountain bike). To watch...hockey of course.

15. HAIR COLOUR? Reddish at the moment.

16. EYE COLOUR?  Hazel with a strong tendency toward green.

17. SUNRISE OR SUNSET? Sunrise. I know, I know. Usually when I see sunrise it's because I've been up all night not because I'm an early rising go-getter type. But it makes me happy to see the sun come up.         

18. SIBLINGS AND THEIR AGES? None really. A couple of steps here and there.

19. FAVOURITE MONTH? October, December and July.        

20. FAVOURITE FOOD? I like food. I'm partial to mexican, thai and japanese. But I also like a cheeseburger.

21. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Satisfaction with Justine Bateman. I love the 80s. I love the Batemans!        

22. FAVOURITE DAY OF THE WEEK?  This is so redundant! It's still Saturday.

24. ARE YOU TOO SHY TO ASK SOMEONE OUT? Sometimes. Shut up. It's true.

25. FAVOURITE SONG? No. No favourite song. But I was listening to Istanbul Not Constantinople by They Might Be Giants and it made me want to shake my ass so that was pretty high on my list yesterday. Ooo...I'm also addicted to Summertime by Janis Joplin at the moment. And Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. He's sexy.

26. SUMMER OR WINTER? Summer. I like the sunshine.

27. HUGS OR KISSES? Both! Who would ever want to choose?!

28. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STAND? I'd like to say one night stand but sadly relationships. I'm a fan.

29. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Chocolate.

30. DO YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO WRITE BACK? Um, no. Because I'm not actually sending it to any of them.


Where are questions 31 and 32? What happened to them? My favourite cheesy celebrity is a tie between that actor with the really fake orange tan (George something maybe) and that woman who had so much plastic surgery she looks like a cat. I'm also partial to Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton because who doesn't love really stupid girls? Add Jessica Simpson to the list.


33. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS?  Me, my dog and Mr.Bear. Currently in a cute little studio apartment in Tokyo but soon to be an air mattress on my mom's floor in Duncan. Best not to dwell.

34. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? The Burglar on the Prowl by Lawrence Block. I chose it because it had a funky cover and it's really quite good. I'm not usually the mystery type but I dig this one. Which is good because he has many other books that I will now partake of. I read too much so I'm always on the lookout for a new author.

35. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Mouse pads are so 1995.

36. FAVOURITE BOARD GAME? Still Cranium. Oh my god! I hadn't thought of it before but now I'll be able to play Cranium again!! I'm so excited! This is a sad day really. I'm actually excited by the prospect of playing Cranium. Was I always this big a dork and I just didn't notice?

37. CAN YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE WITH YOUR TONGUE?  What am I a circus freak? No. I have a small tongue. Shut up.

40. DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY? I don't like this question. Maybe sometimes. Not all the time and maybe not this week in particular but overall, yes. I have a lot of good things in my life so I guess that would make me lucky. Not like lottery winning lucky but not too bad either.
