Same quiz sixteen years later

Saw this and thought I might update it a mere sixteen years later. You are so welcome (new answers in italics). 

Stole these questions from The Nightwatchman in Dec 2007.


When was the last time you lied?

A few hours ago, when I told myself those eggs were worth eating. 

About 5 mins ago about what I was doing on the intraweb.



When was the last time you used the word hate?

It was definitely the sentence "I hate when... does..." on the last film I watched with Trin, but I sadly don't remember the specifics. 

Today when I told Daniel I hated all boys and he took offense.


What is your most treasured possession?

My new Rothko print. I've wanted one for over 20 years, and I finally got one. 

My iMac, Molly.


Who would play you in the film of your life?

Melanie Lynskey. She has the accent already, and some people think we look alike (which is untrue but super flattering). 

I want Scarlett J, so I'm getting Scarlett J.


What do you owe your parents?

My life. 

So much I don't even know the sum anymore. :(


What keeps you awake at night?

Thinking about things I have no control over but desperately want control over. 

My fucking mind never shuts the hell up.


How would you like to be remembered?

Hopefully, some people miss me. I'd like to make connections that meant something to someone. How they remember me isn't really that important. 

I don't need to be remembered, I wont be here anymore.


What makes you angry?

Not feeling heard or understood and injustice. 

Mostly myself.


What would you like to be your last words on earth?

So long, and thanks for all the fish. 

Cheers.


Which living person do you most admire?

Admire isn't the right word, but I guess I admire people who take risks with things they care about.

I honestly don't know, I don't really admire people much.


What is the trait you most deplore in yourself and others?

Dishonesty. 

Being selfish.


What does love feel like?

Like you're in your own little universe where nothing else matters. Everything, the good and bad, is 100% more intense and impossible to escape. 

Every feeling possible, mixed up into a big pot, boiled and served with cabbage.


What's your greatest extravagance?

My fancy fridge that I love but currently barely use. 

My bloody phone. I take it back, I love you, you are priceless.


Define beauty.

Impossible to ignore and wholly positive. 

Pure and positive.


When were you happiest?

When I fell in love with Hayden and met Trin.

The last time I was riding a high.


What superpower would you like?

Ha. Still invisibility. 

Invisibility.


Favourite smell?

Whoever I'm currently in love with. 

Boys.


What do you consider your greatest achievement?

See below with the addition of being a Mum. 

Still being alive.
