[Neko]

Downton bbey

(Elias, Might of read the books :p But I left the question open to interpretation)

What's for dinner tomorrow?

[Elias]

Haven't read the books either...I know.

No idea yet...probably a pasta bake.

Favourite food/drink combo?

[Neko]

Beer with a really good pizza

Have you achieved one of your life goals?

[Elias]

I'm on my way there.

Same question.

[Neko]

Yes, i have :) Now working on another one hopefully.

Can you pull an all nighter easily?

[Elias]

Yes, but I try not to.

If you could hang out with one character for a day, who would it be?

[Suz]

Max from Golden Boy

What character would you run from?

[Elias]

Hannibal Lecter.

What character would you go dancing with?

[Suz]

Don Tillman from The Rosie Project

What character would you want to go on holidays with?

[Elias]

Harper Grayson from The Fireman

Would you pull off an all nighter to finish a really good book?

[Neko]

I have in the past so yes!

Have you ever put reading over anything important?

[Elias]

Not yet.

Have you ever spent an entire day doing nothing but reading?

[Neko]

Yep..Pretty rare but i enjoy when they occur.

What do you do for a living?

[Suz]

Yes - last Saturday. Rained all day. Read all day!

Last brand new book you read?

[Suz]

Snap. Mum and student.

What do you wish you did for a living?

[Elias]

I guess the boring answer would be that I'm already doing it or on my way to doing it. The more interesting answer would probably be a film director.

Do you enjoy what you do for a living?

[Neko]

Yes

What time do you usually go to bed?

[Elias]

Somewhere between 12 and 2. It usually varies depending on what I'm doing.

Have you ever been mistaken for being younger/older than you really are?

[Suz]

Yes all the time

Do you feel young for your age?

[Neko]

Some days i do and others i don't at all..lol

Do you like dunking biccies into a coffee/tea?

[Elias]

Yes! The Tim Tam Slam being my favourite.

Are you an old soul or young at heart?

[Neko]

Old Soul..been told this more than a few times.

Do you get to enjoy the long weekend?

[Elias]

Kind of.

Funniest thing you've seen or heard this week.

[Suz]

Today my husband got 'pulled over' by a policeman, he turned out the be our friend. There was some panic involved as it's double demerits and he doesn't hold many! Then I was in my car and saw him speed off to chase an unlicensed motorbike rider.

Do you have any book/reading quirks?!

[Neko]

Hate cracked spines for graphic novels so i open them in such a way there will be no creases or cracks on the spine..lol only time i don't care is when the book is 2nd hand.

Do you like to binge watch tv shows or prefer week by week installments?

[Elias]

In theory, I like the idea of week by week instalments to keep you tuning in, especially with ones that end in mini cliffhangers but in reality, I much prefer binge watching.

Have you ever pranked someone and if so, what was it?

[Suz]

We used to do silly phone ones on sleepovers. So original.

What is the favourite thing about your bookshelf?

[Elias]

I have two things: the fact that it's neat [well, to me anyway] and that if I close my eyes, I know exactly where each book is.

What is your least favourite thing about your bookshelf?

[Suz]

I'm impressed ;)

It holds enough but not accessable or practical :(

What did you do that was fun this weekend, or at least caused some smiles?

[Elias]

haha, thanks! It usually freaks a few people out (me included) but it sure does help if I ever need to put the books back on the shelf.

Got two tickets to go to Vivid at Taronga Zoo tomorrow night. It definitely caused some smiles because I'll have finished my final exam for this semester tomorrow.

Same question.

[Neko]

Sharing several different beers with my Dad and learning about VPNs (PPTP and OpenVPN). And getting things to finally work when even the IT help couldn't answer my problem.

Do you like soft pretzels?

[Elias]

PPTP and OpenVPN? Just what I need to get in the zone for my programming exam tomorrow!

I personally have no problem with them but I prefer the hard-crispy pretzels. They're one of my favourite snacks.

Do you prefer graphic novels or regular novels?

[Suz]

Regular. Have never read a graphic. Although.. at TAFE I just heard about the backwards one. Seems I'm a bit backwards.. Didn't know!

E-book or hard copy?

[Neko]

Both..haha ;p

Do you enjoy going on camping trips?

[Suz]

Yes! Better before kids came along. Just easier. But liked roughing it without facilities and relying on ice etc.

Do you read more during holiday time?

[Elias]

I'd say it's about the same. Before the holidays, I'm mostly engrossed in my textbooks and after holidays, I'm mostly engrossed in novels.

Are you going to be seeing "Finding Dory"?

[Suz]

Not sure about at the movies as master 4 has never been. Not sure it would work. But definitely will by the DVD!

Do you enjoy working out which celebrity voices are characters on animated movies? Ellen DeGeneres was so distinct in Nemo!

[Elias]

Yes, especially when I recognise an actor's voice but can't seem to put a name or face to it. Although, I will say that when "Finding Nemo" came out, I had no idea who Ellen DeGeneres was. Later on when I started watching some of her stuff a light bulb went off in my head and I remember thinking, "Gee, she sounds a lot like Dory!"

Has an animated movie ever made you cry?

[Neko]

Plenty of times as a child...Lion King...damn...that just gets me so teary :(

Can you draw?

[Elias]

Loved that movie as a kid. I haven't seen it in so long, though! I hope I still love it! "Toy Story 3" on the other hand, that movie bordered on almost scarring!

Technical drawings, yes. Others, kinda. Although I always think in pictures when I'm trying to learn something or write.

Can you do impressions and if so, who of [whether it's a celebrity or someone you know personally]?

[Neko]

Yeah, Donald Duck...lol..I can mimic his voice...My Mum taught me it from a really young age and every now and then I used the voice to make people go 'WTF?' or make children laugh. I'm also pretty good with marvin the martian but haven't tried that voice in a long time so maybe not as good.
So, it's not a complete impression but part of one :)

(I haven't yet seen TS3..*runs away*)

Have you ever tried calligraphy?

[Elias]

Donald Duck AND Marvin The Martian? That's awesome!

And no need to run! You can walk! There's no rush!

I have tried calligraphy but unfortunately my hands don't move that gracefully across the page.

On a scale of 1-10 [10 being flawless, almost to the point of being a work of art], how neat is your handwriting?

[Neko]

Being a lefty my handwriting is pretty shocking...BUT...due to that I've worked on perfecting my handwriting over the years with different styles and such. Yesterday I got a compliment on my neat handwriting and said, 'It's always a true compliment when I hear that from someone cause I'm a lefty!' Made the woman laugh but she knew where I was coming from. So after all that..I'd say I'm a 5.5 but when I don't care it's like a 1..lol

(There are these neat pens called Parallel pens by Pentel which makes calligraphy writing a bit easier..Discovered them this year..sooo fun..but i'm not good either).

Have you ever tried sour beer (not off beer..it's a style) before?

[Elias]

I've seen a few people writing with those parallel pens. I can already see it would take lots of practice to perfect!

I haven't tried sour beer. I actually looked it up and it doesn't sound like something that would get along well with my stomach and definitely something I wouldn't like to referee when things get out of hand.

Have you ever had a lucid dream?

[Neko]

Ohhh..haha..That sounds like a fair enough reason. I love them..As strange as it sounds they can be so creamy!!

Yes, some have been amazing and others have been nightmares. One is reoccurring and it's one I'd love to forget but won't. With this particular dream I'll never forget when I was telling my body to 'wake up' so I could stop the dream but no matter how much screaming I couldn't get my body to wake. It was like being stuffed into something small and trying to break free. Might sound a little corny if you've never experienced something like that or you don't really believe in dreaming...But I find them super important and often listen to them.

*phew* that was a bit of a longer answer than I'd planned.

What are you currently watching that you can't miss on TV?

[Elias]

I think dreams are important as well and I definitely get different types of dreams which correspond to my current state [whether I'm stressed, worried, happy etc.] I usually write some of them down [or the good ones anyway] and use them in my stories [some dreams have even helped me crack certain story or plot problems, which is definitely a plus!].

I'm currently not watching anything on TV at the moment. My head's too far stuck into the current book I'm reading, Armada by Ernest Cline. It's a book that's almost tailor made for gamers. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't loving it so far.

Same question.

[Neko]

That's great you're enjoying the book so much :) I just checked it out but I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi when reading it..Gaming, I love it.

Hmm...Guess Game of Thrones...Always got to be on top of that to discuss it at work the following day otherwise Wentworth.

Have you ever blacked out before?

[Elias]

It's a fun read! I picked it up because I loved Ernest Cline's previous novel, Ready Player One.

Yes, I have but only once. It was kind of scary.

Have you ever broken something at a friend's house by accident and not told them?

And thanks for the friend request btw!

[Neko]

Yes, but I got found out by another friend who basically outted me...It wasn't fun cause I would of dealt with it in my own time except my friend putting me in the shit making it worse than it really was!

No worries :D!

Do you live by your head or your gut?

[Elias]

Definitely gut, which, most of the time, is in tune with my head.

If you could spend a day being your younger self, what age would you choose to be?
