Michelle's corner

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

Closed. The bedroom's so small that I wouldn't be able to get in to bed. This is the UK we're talking about...

2. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?

In. Probably something to do with being in to bondage

3. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?

Nope. Never seen the point. Although there is a picture, somewhere, of me on top of a telephone box with a traffic cone.

4. Do you cut out coupons and never use them?

No. Most of the things on offer, I never use. They're just sales pitches to get me to spend more.

5. Would you rather be attacked by bears or bees?

Bears. It would be a quick death.

6. Do you have freckles?

Yes, but I'm not saying where.

7. Do you always smile for pictures?

No.

8. Do you ever count your steps when you walk?

Used to as a kid, including the "don't step on the cracks in the pavement" thing. But not any more.

9. Have you ever peed in the woods?

I'm a rambler. Of course.

10. What about pooped in the woods?

Nope. In the UK, our foliage doesn't grow leaves big enough.

11. Do you chew your pens and pencils?

Used to, but stopped. Presumably it's when keyboard came in, and I'd have a hell of a job getting one of those in my mouth.

12. What’s your song of the week?

Misfit, by High Dive Heart. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmiaDNq79Uc

13. Is it okay for guys to wear pink?

Yes. It shows real guts.

14. Do you still watch Cartoons?

The kiddy five minute shorts, no. The one and a half hour things that have emotional content and cross-jokes that adults get... yes. I mean, what idiot put that question in here? "I'll blast your head off, for this!"

15. What do you drink with dinner?

Normally, nothing. If a drink is called for, it's usually red wine.

16. What do you dip a chicken nugget in?

Mayo

17. What’s your favourite food?

Cheese and pickle pork pies.

18. Were you ever a boy/girl scout?

Yes. Learned some stuff that's long forgotten now.

19. Would you ever strip or pose naked for a magazine?

Already done. On international TV. If you hunt hard enough I think I'm still on a re-run in French Canada now and then.

20. Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

No. How, don't ask me as I've spent years as a truck driver and a European mobile engineer. Must be more luck than judgement.

21. Favorite kind of sandwich?

Chicken salad mayo. But it has to be non-halal chicken. If a chicken's gotta die, it's got to be killed fair and square; not simply knocked out and bled to death, with a chance it might wake up again.

22. Best thing to eat for breakfast?

Apple and wild boar sausages, with thick bacon, mushrooms and onion. There's some in the fridge downstairs. Oh damn it, now you've set me off...

23. What’s your usual bedtime?

Usual? What's this "usual" crap all about? Depends on work schedule. This last few years it's been 9pm, but that'll stretch when I shift again.

24. Are you lazy?

There's a streak in me, yes.

25. What is your Chinese astrology sign?

I had to look it up... but the calculator only went back to '73. Damn, that makes me feel old. Ah. Apparently rooster. Just read about it. Damn, that is so NOT me.

26. How many languages can you speak?

One. And even that, badly.

27. Do you have any magazine subscriptions?

Yes. Private Eye. The one run by the most sued man in the history of the United Kingdom. As you can guess, it's an entertaining, topical read.

28. Are you stubborn?

Can be. Less so these days, but if someone tries to push me in to something, then I'll dig my heels in just to say, "Fuck you."

29. Are you afraid of heights?

Yes. Or to be more precise, I'm scared of falling.

30. Do you sing in the car?

Of course. Being transsexual, I sing along with Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and Tom Jones, so the car's the only place I can pull that kind of stunt and not weird people out.

31. Do you ever dance in the car?

Now and then, on a straight road when I have cruise control on... but our roads aren't that straight so I'm confined to a few sharp, twitching moments, which weirds out other drivers.

32. Ever used a gun?

Yes.

33. Last time you got a portrait taken by a photographer?

I did a bondage set for my web site a few years ago. The rope top was also a professional shooter.

34. Do you think muscles are cheesy?

Like a firearm, it all depends who's pulling the trigger.

35. Favorite type of fruit pie?

Apple.

36. Occupation you wanted to be when you were a kid?
 
Jet pilot.

37. Do you believe in ghosts?

No, but my mind is open. No one's come up with any proof yet.

38. Ever had a deja-vu feeling?

Wow! Just then... when you asked me that question. I swear someone's asked me that before!

39. First concert?

James Last in Sheffield  City Hall.

40. Nike or Adidas?

Non-brand, un-pretentious.

41. Ever take dance lessons?

Nope. I know my limits!

42. Regularly burn incense?

No.

43. Who would you like to see in concert?

Euge Groove ... but that answer will probably change tomorrow.

44. Hot tea or cold tea?

Hot tea

45. Tea or Coffee?

Tea, although I do cross the line on occasions. Each drink has its part in my life.

46. Can you swim well?

I'm reasonable.

47. Are you patient?

No... now get on with the next question!

48.DJ or band at a wedding?

Band. Love me some horn.

49. Which are better, black or green olives?

Neither. I hate olives.

50. Would you rather live in a fictional world or the real world?

I'd like to live in the fictional world of Blade Runner. High tech, but still a struggle. Life's nothing without something to fight for and struggle against.
