Memeology - 11 Questions for 11 "Lucky" People


Ooh, check it out, my first meme!  @_firsttimedaddy has tagged me, so here goes.

First off, the rules:
  • You must post these rules.
  • Each person must post 11 things about him/herself on their blog.
  • Answer the questions the “tagger” listed for you in her post, and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
  • Choose 11 people to tag and link to them in the post.
  • Let each blogger know that you have tagged them
The 11 questions are....
  1. If you were to have a meal with 3 other people alive or dead, who would it be. (Anybody famous or not) - I'm actually answering this one last, it's really difficult.  Subject to change - Margaret Atwood, Tim Minchin and Bill Bailey.
  2. If you could have chosen your name, what would it have been and why? - It's really boring to say it, but I've always liked my name, so I think I'll keep it.  No, wait: Xavier.  Because it's cool, and will suit me even more when I finish going bald.
  3. If you could make one return trip in a time machine, where would you go and why? - It would be AMAZING to go back and see dinosaurs, or massive battles, or whether all that Jesus lark happened, or something else in the past.  But if I only get one, I'll go for today's date 2082 please, to see how my boy's getting on and whether I've ended up with grandkids/great-grandkids that I don't (won't?) know about.
  4. If you were a darts player, what would be your nickname? - Something to do with how badly I suck at darts I should imagine.
  5. If it became possible to live in space and travel to any planet in a matter of hours. Where would you live? - Earth, because it'll probably be quite nice once everyone else has fucked off elsewhere.
  6. If you could make any film storyline true, which would it be. - Films I like are often rather dystopian, and I'm not sure that's the kind of thing I should want coming true.  So... How about Amelie, that's nice.
  7. If a film was made of you life, what would it be called and who would star as you? - Average Joe: A Tale of Normality starring Jason Lee
  8. If you won the lottery (Lets say £50 million), whats the FIRST thing you buy? - First would probably be something really mundane, like I'd realise I needed petrol for the car to go and inspect the island I'm planning to buy.  But that's probably not what you're after, and the first BIG thing I'd buy would be a mahoosive party for all my favourite people.  That's still not one thing.  Damn.
  9. What would be you super power of choice? - I'll just be Wolverine please.  *Snicksnicksnoin*
  10. Which animal would you be and why? - A Peregrine Falcon; fast, flying, cool.
  11. What did you want to be when you were 7, 13 and 16? - 7: a Dalek, 13: professional mountain biker, 16: Journalist (failed on all three, I rule!)
Well, I quite enjoyed that, but I suppose it was my first time.  Losing my meme virginity has been largely pleasurable.  Here are my questions:


1.  What is your favourite language?
2.  If you had to leave your house, right now, and never return, what three things would you take with you?
3.  Do you have a particularly amazing skill which makes you superawesome?  What is it please?
4.  If you could be any age, but had to be that age forever, what age would you choose and why?
5.  Do you love TK Maxx, or think it's full of last season's unsold shit?
6.  What is the most impressive gymnastic feat you are capable of (and I'll just take your word for it, no evidence required)?
7.  Whose books do you wish you'd written?
8.  If there's an aeroplane on a conveyor belt and it tries to take off, do you think that will work?
9.  Honestly, have you at any point during this ordeal thought "fuck it, I'd rather be eating [snack of choice]" but then felt guilty and carried on?
10.  Pints or shots?
11.  Better to be too hot, or too cold?


I'll be honest, I don't expect anyone to entertain the notion of completing this, but here are the eleven people whose answers I would genuinely find interesting, if they can be bothered:


@MinistryofMum
@SunnivaAnne
@Rachellwilliams
@TomBriggs79
@thefooltweets
@SAHDandproud
@motherventing
@Expatmammy
@TheBoyandMe
@mummyglitzer

Wow, I'm going to feel like a right nuisance when I tweet all you lot...

  1. Good memeing. And thanks for the tag. I generally play by my own rules when tagged in memes, y'know, just to be difficult. But your questions are funny. So. I'll see what I can do. *cracks knuckles*

  2. Thanks for the tag, but I will have to apologise and bow out of blogging it as I'm swamped at the moment. If it's alright though I'll answer them here?

    1. What is your favourite language?
    I love Welsh, wish I could speak it fluently.
    2. If you had to leave your house, right now, and never return, what three things would you take with you?
    Other than people? My purse, my camera and my laptop.
    3. Do you have a particularly amazing skill which makes you superawesome? What is it please?
    I'm really rather good at spotting a misplaced or missing apostrophe at 100 yards. I've even been known to scratch one into a pub sign.
    4. If you could be any age, but had to be that age forever, what age would you choose and why?
    32. I'd just had The Boy, my hair was fab, my skin was fab and I was lighter than before I was pregnant. Now I'm a fat, greasy-haired, spotty old woman.
    5. Do you love TK Maxx, or think it's full of last season's unsold shit?
    Can't stand it, worse than Primark.
    6. What is the most impressive gymnastic feat you are capable of (and I'll just take your word for it, no evidence required)?
    I'm not gymnastic at all. However, sit down, feet sole togethers and forehead on feet. I can do that.
    7. Whose books do you wish you'd written?
    Annabel Karmel! She must be bloody rolling in it.
    8. If there's an aeroplane on a conveyor belt and it tries to take off, do you think that will work?
    No idea, is there a box of cereal in the way?
    9. Honestly, have you at any point during this ordeal thought "fuck it, I'd rather be eating [snack of choice]" but then felt guilty and carried on?
    Yes, ice-cream. But I'm a stayer.
    10. Pints or shots?
    Pints.
    11. Better to be too hot, or too cold?
    Too cold.

    1. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Love your answer to number three, that's dedication to punctuation right there, I am on board with that.
