Miscellaneous Questions:

What other newsgroups do you read: alt.gothic.fashion and that's it. I have a short attention span.

To which mailing lists are you subscribed: MancGoth, but I've never posted.

How long have you been reading upg: I can't remember. Then again, I have difficulty knowing what time of day it is.

What has been your favourite thread on upg: Not one in particular I could name, but I do have a soft spot for the replies to hapless goons posting personals.

What are some of your hobbies: Playing guitar (when I can be arsed, which is getting very sporadical these days), reading, sleeping.

What's the motto you adhere to: Remove head from sphincter, then post. Actually, this can be modified to suit any occasion.

What is your personal stupid human trick: I don't think I'm interesting enough to have one. Unless you count falling off chairs and things every time I get drunk

What do you want to be doing 10 years from now: Something other than sitting in my house.

What is the one thing/skill that you do not have now that you wished you possessed: I wish I was one of those people that's able to just talk to anyone. I find people quite scary, as a rule.

What do you think is your best asset: I'm quite a good listener. I also care a lot about my friends and would go to the ends of the earth for them.

What do you think is the worst thing about you: I have a nasty habit of letting people walk all over me. I can also take out my grumpy moods on others at times.

What do you value most in a friend: Someone who you can talk to about anything and will always be there for you.

How do you picture upg: It's like having somewhere to go and have a laugh with people who are nearly as mad as me.
