And I will answer

Eris: What do you think of the 2022 HTML 5 release date?

I think that’s probably a bit too far in the future… 2009 would be nicer. ;)

Eris: Furthermore, what do you think the internet, or its future equivalent will be like in 2022?

I think the Internet will still exist in some form in 2022. I think it will be a lot more reliable (no more dodgy wi-fi signals) and I think we’ll finally have proper broadband speeds at least somewhere in the UK, if not everywhere. I think more household devices will connect to the Internet and use the connection for things.

Sarah: What are you looking forward to most with your upcoming trip to Telford?

This question is kind of redundant right now, because I’m back from Telford. However, I can tell you that my favourite part was going around the Wonderland place and seeing the Dinosaurs!

Peter: What do you think of open source software, particularly Linux?

I think open source software is a great thing. It’s much cheaper than the big-brand alternatives, there’s usually a huge support community to go with it, pretty much anyone can add features to it, and it’s often of a better quality than the big-brand alternative. Having never really used Linux, I can’t comment on it.

Ramsha: If you could have any skill that you don’t already have, which would be the most tempting?

The ability to play the flute. I’m a musical person - I can pretty much play any instrument I try. The flute, however, I suck at, and that really bugs me!

If you could vote in the American elections, who would you vote for? Which, if any, particular political system holds the most promise for you and why?

I honestly don’t think I would vote in the American elections. If and when I do vote, I want it to be an informed decision, and right now I just don’t know enough about politics and political parties to make that decision.

Aisling: What’s your favourite thing about your town?

The lake.

What’s the weirdest thing you did last week? What’s your favourite thing in your room?

The weirdest thing I did last week was probably get my new glasses. They’re zebraprint and I love them very much! Also, my favourite thing in my room would have to be my floor. It’s very useful for storage space!

If you could be anywhere in the world right now where would you be and why?

Anywhere? Probably… Japan! I have never been there before, and my Dad is there right now, so it would be cool to go and hang out with him!

What is your favourite film?…. will you marry me?

My favourite film? Ever? Not sure. Recently? Wall*E. I loved that film so so much! As for marriage… is that even legal? Would it help me get residence in Canada?

Miro: If the earth was coded in HTML, what would be the most adventurous place to go to?

<table>, definitely, because that’s where food is kept. Unless you mean that there are more HTML elements, in which case… <canada> would be good. :)

Amanda: Now that you’ve got your passport, which country do you plan on visiting first? Have you got a vague timeline (e.g. Australia in 2010, Canada in 2011) mapped out in your mind?

France! I’m going on the 22nd of November for the weekend, because I have tickets to the Simple Plan show in Lille. After that, I don’t really have plans. I would like to visit Canada, and Australia, and that’s about it. Hopefully / definitely before I turn 30. Wanna help me save on hotel bills?

Kim: What superpower would you love to have and what would you do with that power?

I would love to be able to fly, so I could fly everywhere and not have to worry about parking my car!

Tanya: What is your favourite pizza topping and/or sandwich filling?

Cheese. Definitely. I love cheese so much; I like it on pizza, I like it in sandwiches, I like it in toast; I like it with sausages. Cheese goes with everything!

Rin: I like your articles, can you write more?

Maybe. Some of my current articles actually need updating, so I think I should do that first.

Emsz: When will you make the hop over the channel to come and visit me? Did the package I sent you arrive yet?

I think you should come to England, but yes, I’ll definitely add the Netherlands to my list of places to visit. I wonder if SP will tour there. And, yes! Your package did arrive! Thank you so much. :)

What language (not programming) would you like to learn? If you had to be on a tv show which one would you want to be on?

I would love to learn French again. I have an A-level in it, but recently my standards have been slipping. I would love to be good at French again. And if I had to be on a TV show, it would be… the news!

Any other questions?

Ask me a question

This entry was posted on September 14, 2008

I’ve opened up this write panel every day for the past week, and haven’t written a single word. Am I taking the easy way out by copying Amanda and opening myself up to interrogation.

Ask me a question, anything you like, and I will answer. Remember though that my Dad reads this blog, so don’t ask anything too embarrassing.

Apart from that, though, go ahead and ask!

Questions about the blogger

This entry was posted on November 20, 2007

Stolen from thedailymeme.com. 25 questions in which I respond honestly, albeit sarcastic, way.

1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?

Oh yes, totally. Everyone in my town with a population of 10,000 reads my blog. Actually, only about five offline people know about my blog. I don’t know if they read every entry though.

2. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?

Absolutely not. The only altering that happens is that they are reduced in size.

3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?

Creeps and dorks have never emailed me. If you are a dork, though, please feel free to contact me.

4. Do you lie in your blog?

Of course not! Everything I’ve said in my blog is true. If you don’t believe me, please contact me privately and we’ll discuss it.

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?

I like to think that I’m a fairly relaxed blogger. Sure, I have rants every now and then, but for the most part I stay calm. If I wasn’t calm, I might have to change my name to angrybanana or something, and that’s just not acceptable!

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?

Haha, no. I don’t believe that people would tell me to carry on. If I jacked it all in, people would be sad (well, I like to think that they would be), but they’d move on to the next one. That’s just the way blogging is.

7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?

I’m not in therapy, and I never have been. Aside from a period of anti-depressants last year, I’m a pretty chirpy person.

8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?

I don’t need to delete mean comments, because I haven’t received any. I love my commenters because of that. You all are so nice and you make me happy! I don’t need to fake nice comments.

9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?

Rubbed one out? What does this mean? Is this some kind of crazy slang I don’t know? Should I be offended?

10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?

I think they’d like me the same. In person I’m a very laidback individual. I’m very non-confrontational and friendly, but I do have a sarcastic flippant streak.

11. Do you have a job?

Yes, I have a job. I work office hours during weekdays, and that’s all I’m saying. My blog is not a place to discuss my work.

12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?

Define “decent”. How much are we talking here? I’d do it for… thirty thousand pounds. Or more, if you feel so that way inclined.

13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?

Ooh, so many! I’d love to meet Aisling, but she lives all the way in Canada. I’d also love to meet Catherine and Louise, but they’re in New Zealand and Australia respectively. As for British bloggers, there’s too many to list.

14. Which bloggers have you made out with?

I haven’t made out with any bloggers… yet.

15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?

I’m not really sure. What does everyone else think? I think I act like a young 20-year-old person who’s just starting out in the working world… I’m not paid millions of pounds, but equally I’m not peniless.

16. Does your family read your blog?

I don’t know if they read every entry, but they do know about it, yes. I guess that’s what you get when you’re #1 on Google for your name.

17. How old is your blog?

I started blogging in December 2006 and got my domain in May 2007.

18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?

Ha, I wish! According to Google Analytics, I’ve had exactly 8,028 page views in the last month. Divide that by thirty and you get about 267  pageviews a day. Not quite 1000. Do I care? Not really, it helps save my bandwidth!
19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being depressed, slutty, or a liar?

Of course. Just like everyone else on the internet, I’m an emo person who’s had more sexual partners than she has had hot meals. (That’s sarcasm by the way, in case anyone from “real life” is reading this) I’m actually not depressed, or slutty, or a liar.

20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?

No way! Every single word here (apart from quotations) came right out of my mouth. I think that’s pretty scary…

21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?

I don’t make any money from my blog. But if I did, I probably wouldn’t declare it. Does that make me a bad person?

22. Is blogging narcissistic?

Not overly. I tend to discuss my thoughts more, rather than “This is me and I am awesome!”

23. Do you feel guilty when you don’t post for a long time?

Yes. Very much so. If it gets to a week, I start tearing my hair out.

24. Do you like John Mayer?

I don’t know who he is!

25. Do you have enemies?

Nope. None. Unless I don’t know they’re my enemy. Are you my enemy?
