I agree on the purple skittles they are awesome! Can you make a mean skittle vodka? - would you believe i've only tried to do it once, and that was with fey while i was last in ireland. i think you're meant to leave it a lot longer than we left it. it turned out like this...
it is still known as 'the yeast'.
If you were a flower what would you be? - sunflowers are my favourites, but snapdragons have awesome novelty value... hmmm... sunflowers probably, but snapdragons are a very very close second.
Can I come over to NZ to dance with you? - OMG YES!0 -

We kinda skipped the straining bit... Didn't know you had a photo though!

Fave Boosh character? - Milky Joe. failing that, Naboo. he's my soul-dancing-partner.
Why? - because milky joe is awesome, dark, a thinker, and a coconut.
and naboo cos he dances like me and is just generally awesome and has never turned his back on me.
If you were mistakenly taken to monkey hell and you only had one phone call to get someone to get you out, who would you call? - a boosh character or a real person character? if twas a boosh character, i reckon Sandstorm would help me out most effectively, plus, he owes me a favour. if twas a real life person, im not sure many people i know would be willing to check out monkey hell, but monkeyfudge would almost definitely show up, so i guess from tehre, we could figure out an escape plan (or just sacrifice him to save me ? )
You know the black bits in bananas, are they tarantulas' eggs? - i dont *think* so, but hey, why take that chance?
What was it about that kiwi guy that had you all over him like a flannel? - well, he was all over me like a nun sandwich to start with...
but really we were good friends, and could talk to each otehr about all sorts of ****, and have very different but oddly converging histories, which was a bit of a bonding thing. he's a really loving, caring guy and is totally ok with me being me and doing what i want to do, whether he approves or not 
Did you know that cheese is a type of meat? - vep, that fact was a huge factor in me deciding to go vegan 0 -

What pisses you off about society?
The world is facing impending doom, pick your team of five to save it!
ok, i said i'd come back to the impending doom one, but i would like to take a moment first to have a wee rant about society's treatment of injecting drug users. cos society ****ing suck. just cos a person has taken drugs via a needle instead of snorting/smoking/injesting/drinking/whatever, does not make them ****ing subhuman. it does not mean that they are going to rob/burgle you. it does not mean that they are homeless junkies. it does not mean that you have any ****ing right to treat them like ****. and whatever about normal people and society. i can deal with people in general being dicks, because it is a widely known, acknowledged and accepted fact to me...
but ****ing doctors!!! how ****ing dare they treat IDUs the way they do! how dare they demand that a sick person leave the hospital, just because they disclosed that they have done drugs at some point in their life?! how dare you deny people in pain ****ing painkillers, because you dont deem them able to handle it, or worse, that they're only there cos they're drug seeking?! how can you deny treatment to a sick person based on such a huge ****ing prejudice? no wonder people turn to codeine, morphine, heroin, self medicated, when they are living with chronic pain. and don't get me started on the ****wit doctor who refused to investigate a man because he seemed to be a bit out of it at the time. he had urine tests and his case worker there, who vouched for him that he had been clean for bloody *years*. no. he's just a worthless junkie. guess what? he wasnt 'out of it' because of drugs. it was a huge ****ing brain tumour. and nowhere, find me, anywhere, a research paper that finds a link between using IV drugs and a decreased chance of success at HCV treatment? because there is no link. there is a well documented link between drinking alcohol and decreased success. but if someone says they enjoy a pint once every 2-3 months, do you tell them to come back in 6months time once you've sorted yourself out?! NO! then why do it for IV opiates when there is absolutely no link to decreased success, except for your own small minded prejudices.
/rant.
sorry.
i may have to go back and re-paragraph that one later... im afraid to now in case i start ranting again.
but anyway, world is falling apart, who do i send to save it...?
im really crap at these, due to never having had an interest in superheroes.
bono - let him keep waffling on, and it's always good to have one you can sacrifice .
violet from the incredibles - cos she's got invisibility and a force field, and looks like me. she'll definitely kick ass.
storm from xmen - weather manipulation. awesomeness.
tommy from power rangers - kickass skills, plus awesome zord. (ok ok, he was my first crush
:P)
earthworm jim - cos he's such a groovy guy.0 -

That's shocking! :eek: The more I hear about NZ the worse it gets!
And thank you, best answer I've gotten to that question (hang your head in shame the rest of ye!! :mad: ).
What do you like and dislike about boards?0 -
Ill ignore that bit.That's shocking! :eek: The more I hear about NZ the worse it gets!And thank you, best answer I've gotten to that question (hang your head in shame the rest of ye!! :mad:).
haha, ive come close to having similar rants in R&R but just figured it for being too public (specially after the brain tumour guy died
). i have several other smaller ones about people's reactions to anyone with hep c, which are along the same lines as above, but ill give it a miss for now...What do you like and dislike about boards?
i think my favourite thing about it, tbh, is the irish perspective. i love the way there's a forum for just about everything, and the communities that form around those forums. some of the best nights out ive had have been with the noct forum, or the tattoos and piercing one. made some good friends through here, and now it's a link back to home
dislike, i think, the strict moderating. i do get why it has to be done, but that doesnt mean i like it :pac:0 -

Who's your favourite author? - probably juliette marrillier or poppy z brite.
What's your favourite photo that you've taken? emmm... have to get back to that one.
What's your favourite photo that's been taken of you? -probably...
Auckland or Wellington? - auckland, more gigs up there. but i live down in chch.
Have you done a Bungy or Parachute jump? -yep, skydived.
If not to either, would you? hell yeah! and a white water raft would be awesome.
Winter or summer? used to love spring actually, but since ive moved to nz and started surfing, gotta love the summer. :cool:0 -

In Ch'Ch? Do you get bored? :pac: Great looking city, but I found it really quiet myself. Have to agree with Auckland being the better city too. And for white water rafting I highly recommend shotover river near Queenstown. You can do a bungee jump there too (I've noticed my horrific spelling of that in the last post...)
Oh, and awesome photo! It's very odd in a very good way
Here's a couple more for you. I need to get a little more inventive. My questions were rubbish compared to others...
What's the wierdest thing you've ever eaten?
Be honest for this one.... Type the first word that comes to you mind right now!
If I gave you a clothes hanger and said "do something inventive or wierd!" what would you do?0 -

In Ch'Ch? Do you get bored? :pac: Great looking city, but I found it really quiet myself. -nah, i love it here. i spend heaps of time surfing,a nd love having the option of n brighton, north beach, sumner or taylor's. spend a good bit of time just chillin, the gardens are nice for that, plus the beach, or rockclimbing, which taylor's is great for, plus indoor rockclimbing at the YMCA plus roaming around the port hills. great punk scene here too.
Have to agree with Auckland being the better city too. - in fairness, chch is the only city ive really been to. was in auckland for the first tmie for a weekend there a couple weeks back for a NOFX gig.
And for white water rafting I highly recommend shotover river near Queenstown. You can do a bungee jump there too (I've noticed my horrific spelling of that in the last post...) -yeah, it's on the list of thigns to do, but you might have noticed that teh kiwi dollar isnt the greatest, and i only work about min wage three days a week, so even the thought of queenstown makes my wallet shudder, let alone the white water rafting.
Oh, and awesome photo! It's very odd in a very good way - thanks, it's from electric picnic 08.
What's the wierdest thing you've ever eaten? - probably squid. it was ****ing awful, too.
Be honest for this one.... Type the first word that comes to you mind right now! - cranky. havent had my glasses for 5 days now and my eyes are so stressed out. gotta squint to see the computer and im very very cranky at this point.
If I gave you a clothes hanger and said "do something inventive or wierd!" what would you do? - probably try to make a wire man surfing out of it.0 -

1) why are you a veggie? (taste reasons? or "omg don't hurt the widdle animal" reasons?) - first decided to go veggie after seeing a documentary on battery farming. thought it was really really fcuked up. decided i was only gonna eat free range meat. thennn discovered i couldnt afford free range meat. so, i had a lot of eating/food issues at that point, and i decided to challenge myself by trying out vegetarianism, and forcing myself to try new foods, and healthify my diet. was never a big meat eater anyway, the only meat i did eat was the stuff you can guarantee was absolutely worst for me, and the animal had been treated pretty badly. from there, i kinda just got more into it, and have done a good bit of reading and learning about animal rights and that, and to me, it just doesnt sit right with me, and i dont want to have a part in it. [/i]
2) If you could be one person for a day, who would it be and why? - gerry lopez. aka Mr. Pipeline. he's a famous, pioneering surfer who is just the most mellow, chilled out, happy person ive ever seen, and has this awesome surfing style. he's not really big into big airs and fast shortboard stuff, he just loves riding the tube, and i would kill to ride some of the tubes he does.
3) Favourite Drink? (alcoholic and otherwise) -double JD coke, no ice please
4) If all the variables were the same (family, job, house, money etc) where would you prefer to live, kiwiland or ireland? -i think i may actually pick kiwiland. because the weather is more consistently nice, and i can has surf. ive thought about it, and if i was to move back to ireland, the reason would be to be with my friends/family. but, my hometown is nowhere near anywehre you can surf, so i'd have to live on the westcoast or something. which is nowhere near my home, and therefore, quite pointless. so i think i might have to pick antichristchurch.
5) Beavis or Butthead (had to do it ) this is the bit where i wince and admit that i've never actually seen it and dont know the difference between the two. *cringe*
6) Best Gig (music) you have ever been to? - can't pick one. all so special in their own ways. musically, i think the metallica one where they played the whole puppets album, and no leaf clover and wherever i may roam was spectacularly awesome. from a crowd/atmosphere perspective, NOFX, muse and velvet revolver have been some of the most awesome crowds ive been in, for just being with other people who ****ing love the music and *want* to be there and are just loving every moment. from a personal memory perspective, elbow at electric picnic where guy garvey named me and pointed me out in the crowd, dedicated a song to me, got the crowd to cheer for me and shook my hand and kissed it was pretty ****ing amazing.
7) Favourite mighty boosh song and why? - i probably change my answer every time im asked this... but right now, i'd say Tundra. it's got that 'boosh boosh, stronger than a moose' line in it. plus the human coke outfit. plus the little dance vince does, plus i ended up naming my mouse after it.0 -
