Imogen's fucked off on holiday. I've just come off the phone to her and at this exact moment she's getting extremely drunk at Manchester airport " 's medishnal," she said, "'n' 't'll make the flight shr't'r." Anyone noticed how when talking to a drunk person, talking normally becomes an effort?
Unfortunately I'm not about to go jetting off on holiday; that's next week. Meaning I'm currently at work. My boss being a nazi he might actually.. not be very happy if he finds me doing this, so I'm posting something from her dusty archives. It's a meme, but with a difference.
Love Toby x x x x x x x
Whats your Favourite colour? Pink. With just a hint of pink.
Your favourite chocolate bar? Unfortunately, it's boy chocolate- Yorkie bars with biscuit and raisins; I don't mean it's boy chocolate because of the adverts, but because they're inconveniently large, which makes eating them in public difficult; dribble tends to happen, or bits get stuck in your front teeth or... Anyway, you get the very vivid picture, I'm sure.
What age would you like to stop/live forever at? With my twentieth birthday looming, I'm going to say nineteen, but eighteen would also be acceptable at this point.
If you could live anywhere else in the world other than England where would you live? Tough call, I've only ever wanted to live in London. But somewhere in Latin America; I never reached there on my gap year, and I want to go there. Now. Please.
What is your dream car? Red. Cute. Fast. Car breeds mean nothing to me, but I have a fairly clear idea of what I do want, I feel.
What type of jewelry do you prefer wearing? All of it. All the time. Well, OK. I like rings and earrings best.
Baths or Showers? Showers; I'm off of boarding school, remember? Baths were half full and tepid, and you had to fish hair out of the plug before you could use it. So showers, lesser evil.
If you could be anyone else who would you be? Cate Blanchett, Déah Miranda I guess. But on the whole, I quite like me.
If you were a farmer what would you farm? Potatoes and onions, because I love them and then I'll never run out. Of course, I might have to learn how to cook, which would probably help. Actually no, I'd farm something minimum effort. Maybe tobacco? I'd save a small fortune
If you were any kind of wood what type of wood would you be? Mahogany; expensive. Or oak, actually. J'aime.
Who was the nicest stranger you can remember? This has to go to the Big Issue vendor a little while back; I'd broken my ankle, and failed to realise that sitting down on the grass would make getting up near impossible, and he helped me up. Failing that, the guy in the queue at Music Zone, who told me he loved my hair- when I told him I adored his bracelet, he dragged me off to Claire's Accessories so I could get myself one. Or the Australian who gave me some weed in return for a wedge of cheese last summer during my birthday picnic in Hyde Park. Or the bouncer who let me into my first ever club, despite it being obvious I was underage.
What would your dream compilation be? (max. 15 tracks)
1. Nine to Five- Dolly Parton 2. When My Boy Walks Down the Street- Magnetic Fields 3. 14 Hours- The loveGods 4. Follow the Cops back Home- Placebo 5. Soft and Warm- Mothers Sisters daughters and Wives 6. Everybody's Fool- Evanescence 7. Last Goodbye- Jeff Buckley 8. Hey Sailor- The Detroit Cobras 9. New York City Cops- The Strokes 10. American English- Idlewild 11. Crows- Modey Lemon 12. Hurt- Johnny Cash 13. Soul Food- Leela James 14. Starman- Seu Jorge 15. Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground- The White Stripes
Your dream festival would be...(11 bands/artists)
1. Jeff Buckley 2. David Bowie 3. Modey Lemon 4.Fun Lovin' Criminals 5. Maximo Park 6. Placebo 7. Jimi Hendrix 8.The Zutons 9. Roisin Murphy 10. The loveGods 11. Jose Gonzalez
Shock! Horror! You dropped your iPod down the toilet, what do u do? a) flush it b) cry c)delve in after it and claim a new one on the insurance d) swear? c and b and also d.
In your opinion what is the worst film? There are quite a few contenders! But. Waterboy.
If you could be any character from a film which character would you be? Girlwise, Clementine off of Eternal Sunshine, Boywise, Ernesto off of The Motorcycle Diaries. I have a crush. Actually, I have a lot of crushes. I am officially crushed.
Your 5 favourite films: Edward Scissorhands, The Motorcycle Diaries, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pride and Prejudice (the original) and The Royal Tenenbaums
If you were in Lord of The Rings which character do you think you'd be? (N.B. not who you want to be who you are most like). Ouch, what a question! Considering I fell asleep when we went to see the marathon all three films back to back (yes, I know, but I was bullied into it and there was a promise of Blueberry muffins) and read the books when I was eleven, this is more of a history question. But, I'm going to say probably Sam, I wouldn't let my friend starve or go alone either. And knowing my friends, they'd haunt me if I did.
Describe your perfect partner; fun, smart, surprising, interesting, social butterfly, secure, and they also have to read. Books, that is- FHM or Zoo or Cosmo or whatever, don't count. Boywise, they'd also have the magic blonde hair and blue eyes combo, but girlwise, they'd have shortish hair in a gravity defying style- I may have explained before, but I like boykind. I like girlkind too, of course, but it's different- personality and relationshipwise, I like boys best.
Guys; are corsets sexy or cheap? Girls; would you like to try a proper corset? Yes I'd love like to try one- as long as noone expected me to do anything other than lounge about trying to learn how to breathe. And probably bitching. Loudly. And old dresses too. With a fan, and also a ladys maid.
Would you change yourself for someone else? I'd like to say no but that's not true. As such.

Toby - You are a top man as far as friends go! Does she reimburse you in any way ... other than of course, by just being spectacularly charming company?

I'm marvelous, that's all there is to it :-) Unless something unexpected happens tonight like being kidnapped by the love of my life (and would they please step forward?) I'll be with you until I go away myself. On Wednesday. Dawn. If I wake up with time to spare I might even do a post about how much I hate flying. Hopefully I'll spare you all that though, by clinging in bed until check-in.
And a Cupcake update! She got very drunk in the airport and was the last person to get on the plane. She's still reeling from the embarrassment- I think, anyway. Text messages are not a good way to communicate emotion.
My turn comes in four days.
Love Txxxxxx
