pmsumner at 03:23am on 08/04/2002[updated some more questions below #5]
At least, the first few questions:
~~~~1.WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR LJ USERNAME?
You try finding "Phil" as a username anywhere. Even in '95, when I first got online it was impossible in most places. So I chose phil-99 as my account name on Geocities. When Geocities got sucked into Yahoo(!), I decided I wanted no longer to be a part of it, but carried on the account name. Everywhere that I can be "phil-99", I am. But nowadays there are more and more places that won't allow me to put a '-' in my account name, more's the shame... so a lot of places nowadays I am going by PMSumner - it's a mite more "professional" than phil-99.
Hence my domain - http://philsumner.co.uk/
~~~~2. NAME FIVE [5] OF YOUR FAVORITE PIGOUT FOODS.
Haagen Daazs, Ben and Jerry's :)
Chocolate
Pringles
Soup
Leftovers of varying descriptions - anything I can get my hands on, when I am one of "those" moods.
~~~~3. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A MAKEOVER?
A what? NO! :)
~~~~4. HAVE YOU EVER WITNESSED DEATH?
Not as far as I know. The only deaths in my life have been my grandmother (Funeral was on my 13th birthday, that was nice planning - eh?) and other people's friends and relatives. I've never seen death directly.
~~~~5. WHAT'S THE LONGEST TIME YOU'VE STAYED OUT OF THE COUNTRY/WHERE?
2 weeks at a time on various holidays. Unless you count Wales as a foreign place, in which case it's a month or more, camping with my grandparents. (Oh joy.) Holidays have been to North America (New York / Lancaster, PA, / Montreal / Washington / New Jersey someplace / Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaverel) and a week in Lanzarote. Though one day I will emigrate to the US - one day.
~~~~12. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE?
"Faith Manages" Taken from Babylon 5. It says an awful lot to me about the outlook one should have on life.
~~~~14. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES IT TAKE TO KEEP YOU FOR A YEAR?
When I was a student I was living off student loan (2,735) + working about 6 months every year. I couldn't tell you without referring to my payslips now. But that was the bare minimum, really. To get much lower would be to have a life that wasn't a life, if that makes sense?
~~~~26. WHAT'S IN YOUR BAG?
Gameboy & Gameboy link cable, books (currently: Ian M Banks - The Wasp Factory), tapes, cds, New Scientist, rail and bus timetables.
~~~~41. WRITE A LINE FROM ANY SONG
"Met you underneath the moon, night was over much to soon, we shared a kiss 'till dayllight came, and kissed the night goodbye". (Ricky Martin, You Stay With Me) Ahhhh Memories....
