Friends 2010

Hey all! Just thought I would pass along this fantastic little "getting to know me/you" icebreaker. Go ahead...copy and paste, and do your own!1. High heels or boots?
Much as heels can definitely create a visual enhancement on certain parts of the female gender’s body, I prefer a sturdy pair or hiking boots or steel-toed romper-stompers ;)
2. What time did you get up this morning?
Uh…think it was about 1110 Zulu (11:10 AM Eastern for those not into the military side of things ;D)
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
Alice In Wonderland 3D (yes, the Tim Burton one with Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter…I admit it, I caved to my female best friend’s puppy dog eyes)
4. What is your maiden name?
Lewis…same family name I’ve carried since I was officially listed as a legally-independent entity with rights and freedoms almost 27 years ago (rather than a foetus)
5. What is/are your favourite TV show(s)?
Honestly haven’t been watching much TV lately, which is ironic for someone who works for a satellite TV company…so I would have to say Chuck , Doctor Who , and Castle for currently airing shows. Have a whole laundry list of shows that are no longer on the air, with the top spot being Joss Whedon’s cruelly cancelled Firefly.
6. What do you usually have for breakfast?
Don’t eat breakfast much these days, but when I do? OJ or apple juice and a granola bar if it’s lazy-ish day, OJ or apple juice and toast if I have to go somewhere nearby, and OJ or apple juice and a Timmie’s breakfast sandwich if I am long-hauling somewhere.
7. What is your middle name?
Actually have two: Huw and Gwyn
8. What food(s) do you dislike?
Nothing really comes to mind…will honestly eat anything put in front of me.
9. What is your favourite CD at the moment?
Not really my favourite per say, but I listened to my 20th Century Masters collection of top songs of 1983 about 3 complete times when I was driving to and from Toronto on a trip recently.
Other than that? I find the majority of commercially released albums to be technically hit and miss, since I will love a few songs or audio tracks on an album, like a few others and the rest? Will either skip or mute the volume temporarily…doesn’t make much for “loving” an album. I guess the last album I was a fan boy over was The Best of James Bond (40th anniversary edition, I think), which is a collection of all the James Bond film themes up to Die Another Day plus a couple of related tracks.
10. What characteristic do you despise?
It’s a toss-up between egotism, stupidity and cruelty.
11. Favourite Clothing?
A tattered-looking fleece sweatshirt I got in my 2nd year of university. Was sort of my dorm job uniform, but it fits me so well and it’s warm in the right amount too!
12. Anywhere in the world on vacation?
Hmm…would love to explore Australia, and I really wanna see more of the US besides NYC (which is a great city, don’t get me wrong). Willing to go any place really if I had the chance…
13. Are you an organized person?
Technically not…I have orderly piles of junk and mess ;)
14. Where would you retire to?
Good question…part of me wants to say Wales because it’s where my dad’s family is from, it’s spectacular country to experience and it’s where the family I know and care about live right now (other than my dad and brother, who are here in Canada).
15. What was your most recent memorable birthday?
My most recent one (no. 26), where I got to celebrate it with all of my close family, including relatives I had not seen in the flesh if over 20 years…except my recently deceased mother. That was the one black cloud on an otherwise fantastic day...
16. What are you going to do when you finish this?
Laundry…haircut maybe…write an e-mail to my family overseas…not sure for certain other than the laundry thing ;)
17. Furthest place you are sending this?
Not actually sure…the UK
