I'm glad the whole quiz thing has gone in a more interesting/intellectual abstract direction, because I love wasting time and i love thinking about myself, two things the form is very good at.
---
You're locked in a room with the person you last kissed, how is it?: Not awkward unless we're in there long enough for one or both of us to get horny, in which case: Awkward.
When's the last time you had a grilled cheese?: a few months ago, either at the Cornerstone (good food, when they deign to serve you) or more likely the Penny Whistle (very satisfying, I want one now actually).
What's your favorite boy and girl name right now?: For girls I've always liked Emma, and recently (and shamefully, yes, it's due to the song) I've been thinking Ada might be a good choice. Guys it tends to be more names I like for personal or family reasons, like William, Philip, and Peter.
What is your favourite tree? I have a great affection for trees, but it tends to be on an individual level (i.e. the tree I decide to read a book under) rather than on the species level. Generally speaking I do tend to like oak trees, though.
Do you wish someone would call or text you right now?: Yes. No one in particular, but I don't have plans for the afternoon and it's nice to have plans.
Do you crack your knuckles?: Only occasionally, but I do stretch my fingers.
What were you doing yesterday at midnight?: I think I was playing Wii Tennis, actually.
What are your LEGAL initials?: ISM - the joke being that I went one to get two degrees in Philosophy. My first name is one that my dad and one of his brothers both wanted to use - I have a cousin who's Ian Mathers as well, as a result. The Sutherland is my dad's middle name (and his dad's too, I believe) and is the name of the clan that the Mathers are part of, if you go back far enough.
Who's the first B in your contacts?: Lacking a cell phone, I took this to be my address book, and that would be my brother Ben. My dad (Bill) might have beaten him, but he's in under "Dad."
When was the last time you laughed really hard?: "Play haley off, keyboard cat"
Your number 1 top friend walks out of your life, do you go after them?: Wayyyyy too vague, guys. I do tend to be the person going "look, let's talk about this," but there have been times when I've just cut a person off entirely (when I felt it was justified). I am assuming I would, but how and why are they walking out of my life?
Last awkward moment?: I don't get these very often, at least in any serious way. So it was probably the last time a friend didn't get a joke, or that I was joking, and I had to explain the joke, and it killed the joke.
Are you afraid of the dark?: Not anymore, which kind of weirds me out a little, because I don't feel any different from the person who was. But it just kind of stopped being scary a while ago. Now, the dark with other scary stuff, that's a whole different question...
Do you have good vision?: Not since grade four. I wish I knew how I scratched my new-ish glasses so quickly, although at least I can't see the scratch when I put them on.
Have you ever tripped someone?: Only by accident.
Have you ever slapped someone?: Oh yes. It's not as damaging as a punch, of course, but so much more satisfying. It's been a while, mind you.
Are you Irish?: Just a bit. Mostly British and Scottish, with a bit of Irish and Welsh thrown in. Nothing more interesting, as far as I know.
Do you use chap stick?: Nope. I rely on making out to add to my lips' natural moisture supply.
Do you have any scars?: Nothing really dramatic, but I have some small ones on my hands. One that's almost entirely faded from a sailboat when I was a kid, one up the back of my right thumb from cutting potatoes as a kid, and the most pronounced/visible one on the base of my right palm from when I accidentally put my hand through a window, as a kid.
Is there someone you will never forgive?: There are all the people where it/they aren't important enough to me where it will never come up, of course. But people I care deeply enough about in the first place? So far, eventually they've all won at least my benign neglect rather than active antipathy.
Are you dating the person you last held hands with?: Not any more.
Name the last person to text you?: Oh man, I should remember this. Probably Beth.
Would you marry someone 8 years older than you?: If everything else was in order. Nothing wrong with older women (or, within reason, younger women either).
Can you go in public looking like you do?: No. It's summer and I haven't showered yet so I'm sitting here in boxers.
Have you ever kissed someone whose name started with a J?: Repeatedly.
What side of the bed do you sleep on?: Preferably the left side if alone, but I face left, so I kind of like the right side if I'm sleeping with someone.
What’s the first thing you'll do on your wedding day?: Wake up.
Oh, all right - I imagine I will do something simple and repetitive for the first fifteen minutes or so before I shave and shower - solitaire, or minesweeper, or something.
Do you fall for people easily?: Relatively. But it only sticks some of the time - then it's pretty tenacious. I am perfectly capable of having fallen for several people in a serious but low-grade way at the same time, mind you - unless things start happening with one of them, in which case the others tend to fall by the wayside pretty quickly.
Has anyone put their arms around you in the past 5 days?: I hugged about a dozen people at the wedding last Saturday, for one thing. But yes, my mom came for a visit Wednesday and she obviously gave me a hug.
Do you miss the way things used to be?: Yes (sometimes), but you can do this without wanting to go back to them.
Has anyone ever told you they're in love with you?: One person, but I have my suspicion about a few others.
Song you're thinking of right now?: This is embarrassing, but honestly it's "I'm on a Boat" by the Lonely Island.
Want someone back in your life?: Yes. Mostly in terms of current geographical separations, but yes.
Will tomorrow be better than today?: It usually is.
What’s the color of your shirt you're are wearing?: Uh. Invisible?
Has anyone ever sang or played music for you personally?: No, I tend to wear the music pants in the relationship. I'd love for this to happen, of course.
Does it bother you when someone lies to you?: 90% of the time, yes.
Is there anyone who understands your relationship status?: What, that I'm single? Yes, I dare say most people understand that.
Are you a naturally happy person? Or is your happiness forced?: I'm a naturally happy person part of - sometimes most of - the time. But when I'm not happy I don't force it. I can brood at a pretty world-class level.
Is there anyone you wish would fall in love with you?: I can think of at least three real people (who for various boring reasons it makes no sense to pursue, but each of which I occasionally pine for the with the startling force of the irrational), plus just the general blanket wish for some reasonably intelligent/attractive female to fall in love with me that most single guys have.
