What other newsgroups do you read: rec.music.industrial, alt.cows.moo.moo.moo, rec.arts.tv.uk.eastenders, alt.usage.english, uk.games.video.dreamcast.
To which mailing lists are you subscribed: Some northern goth ones, dyslexia-support, my old school mates' one (which is really bloody annoying) and more...
How long have you been reading upg: About three years, I think.
What has been your favourite thread on upg: Rivethead soap opera. Re: [no subject] (the one where Whisky Dave conspired with Star Industry and caused the death of the newsgroup and The Rattler called me some very rude names). Anything where people get their knickers in a twist and insult each other. Anything started by a troll.
What are some of your hobbies: Drinking beer. Writing a diary (be nice to me or you'll be in it as The Baddie when it gets published as The Goth Bridget Jones or something). Used to like swimming, but nowhere to go round here. Buying CDs. Worrying about grammar.
What's the motto you adhere to: Get on with it and stop moaning (er, that's the motto I try to adhere to, it doesn't always work).
What is your personal stupid human trick: Can lick my nose. Used to be able to do box splits, but split tights and sprained thighs (if this is medically possible) last time tried, now coming to terms with fact that I am not as supple as I was in my Yoof.
What do you want to be doing 10 years from now: Post doctoral research into the right hemisphere hypothesis of dyslexia using functional imaging methods. In London. Oh, and drinking a lot of tequila and still going to Slimelight every week.
What is the one thing/skill that you do not have now that you wished you possessed: A medical degree and the ability to sing or do something vaguely musical and be a Rock Star.
What do you think is your best asset: My brain. My tits. My seven inch platform trainers.
What do you think is the worst thing about you: My inability to handle drink or drugs and to become a complete liability when under the influence. Inability to admit when I'm wrong or to ever give up flogging a dead horse. Ego the size of a small east european country (so no faults really). Flabby thighs.
What do you value most in a friend: Intelligence, punctuality, reliability, stalwartness (am not sure that that is a real word).
How do you picture upg: As a bunch of messages in a white box (suffer from a lack of imagination sometimes)
Do you have another question: I have lots. What is goth? Do all roads lead to Rome? Do you ever feel you're going round in circles? Why does everything have to be so complicated? Why are we here? What am I doing? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood? Etc.
