1. Where is your cell phone: *Looks around blearily*. Er, it's on my desk next to me actually. I am prone to either losing them, or throwing them very hard at walls when they refuse to work properly. They rarely bounce, and if they do it's usually in more pieces than they are designed to be in. I'm a stunningly placid person, but seem to reserve a large chunk of my rage for mobile phones. I resisted getting one for the longest time, until someone actually gave me one out of sheer desparation. I always liked my pager. At 50p a message, if someone was going to send you something, you knew it was going to be important.
2. Your hair: A horrible scrubby disaster. I haven't been to a hair dresser since I was 13 years old, which was 16 years ago. I tend to hack away at it with clippers, or beg anyone nearby to give me a hand. My favorite hair cut was probably my blonde streak and black dye job: http://www.urbanplanningrecords.co.uk/memepics/... I oscillate between scruffy and spikey and some half arsed mohawk effort at the moment. I need a new hair style. http://www.urbanplanningrecords.co.uk/memepics/...
3. Your mother: A brave strong woman who works far too hard for her own good, and only wanted for her children to be successful and well off. Then I became a musician and screwed it all up. Takes too much in life too seriously but has a heart of pure gold and would do anything she could for you if she thought it would help.
4. Your father: Socially awkward, nerdy electronics obsessive who could build you a radio out of a toaster, but probably couldn't tell you he'd done it, until it started talking to you.
5. Your favorite food: Currycurrycurrycurrycurry
6. Your dream from last night: Nothing I can recall, which at least means it wasn't a scary one for a change.
7. Your favorite drink: http://www.sanza.co.uk/apps/shop/pics/7888.jpg Bundaberg Root Beer. Being as I don't booze anymore, I love this stuff. Everyone I know who has ever tried it hates it and reckon it tastes like cough medicine.
8. Your dream/goal: I guess to be able to support myself through music. Preferably to have someone else to do all the promotional stuff and business side for me, which I don't really have any inclination to deal with. In a perfect world I'd just get up and crack on with whatever I was working on, be it a film soundtrack, a new album, an ident for a radio station, whatever. Just to spend my life exploring sound.
16. Where did you grow up: Fairwater in Cardiff. It was as good and bad as any other I guess, although my schol was diabolically bad. Still I met my plutonic husband and housemate Carl there.
28. Your favorite color: Slate grey, bruise purple
29. When’s the last time you laughed: Yesterday.
30. When’s the last time you cried: I don't remember, I don't cry much, I often feel like it, but the tears just don't come.
31. Your best friend: Carl/Amanda
32. One place you go over and over: Bed
33. One person who emails me regularly: Amanda
34. Favorite place to eat: New Fujiyama, Brixton
35. Where do you want to be in 6 years: Living with someone I love and who loves me, to have enough money to not worry about it, to be making music, love and a mess on a regular basis.
