I O U : one real post - luv, Mark

Before I die, I would like to: Build a house! Paint a self-portrait! I would really like to own a house where I could paint pictures of fields and deserts on the walls, and with a shed so I could build furniture. I would also like to get married and join a really loud band that would play songs about all our friends.

I am quite good at: thinking of rhyming words; cutting and pasting; overthinking things.

I am absolutely shit at: sewing, though I still try; getting up early and not looking very angry about it; holding my liquor.

I am attracted to: It’s hard to say, isn’t it? When I’m attracted to someone I almost always interpret it as a failing on my part. ‘How could I fall for someone like that?’ I maybe could say I have a thing for English women (or ones who do a good cockney accent when the occasion calls for it) but you can see it’s all pretty arbitrary and won’t make me fulfilled in the long run.

I’m nearly always saying: dude and sweet. I also use the word ‘probably’ far too much. I guess I’m too skeptical to be committed to any particular sentence.

Celebrities I find attractive are: Agent Scully, Christa Miller and Zooey who played Trillian in the Guide movie. Misato must also be mentioned, but she’s a cartoon so she doesn’t really count.
