1. Scrunch or fold - fold

10. The birthday present I can expect from you in the post any day now - well we're even now because you never gave me my prize.
soph- yeah bananas are horrible, and massive too. I eagerly await the dancing animal.
Nath-oh yeah that chitty chitty dude was very creepy, even moreso as you get older.
Pedro- heh, I'm going to call you ghandi too from now on. thanks for the massage idea, but you really don't have to!
Simone- not even the ones that look like little pinapples? I love those. And whay jake?
Amy- I hate licorice too. Horrible. Empathy is a good trait. My favourite people have it.
Maso- that album was the first thing I ever had on tape. Did that have 'walk of life'? I was obsessed with that.
sophg- yeah strawbs are so cheap at the moment. tops. I'm always getting dissapointed with bought coffee.
And thanks all for the well- wishes!
goldy- can you be my guru to help me not impulse buy? And by the way, sour grapes is not a very nice present.
I'm going to see how much effort it takes to address people individually.
Soph and Ben - Bananas are the best lolly, they're also the best milkshake and the best paddlepop.
Ben and Maso - I love Brothers in Arms too - both the song and the album. It's in my top ten albums ever, despite liking Dire Straits being uncool for those of us who consider ourselves to be musically elite.
Simone and Ben - What about chocolate coated pineapple lollies? They are fantastic.
Sophg and Ben - you should get a coffee machine on ebay and make your own coffee at home... actually, I wouldn't recommend buying a coffee machine on ebay...
Amy and Ben - I have no empathy for people who don't like licorice, only sympathy.
You don't have to be sympathetic to those who don't like licorice - means you get to eat it...

8. judgemental, intense, talkative

Nathan, you're a strange bloke. Answering individually is a hard slog, and to do it when it's not even your job is self flaggelation.
Chris L- thanks for the well wishes, and I very excitedly and eagerly await my new shorts. Right in time for spring!
Okay, it's my first time quizzing. I'm new to this, so please be gentle.
1. Scrunch. But the more important question is should the roll come over the top or under from the back. It must come over.
2. Zac
3. Yellow jubes
4. The Adventures of Lano and Woodley DVD - laughing just thinking about it.
5. The Adventures of Lano and Woodley DVD - how am I supposed to get any work done?
6. The CandyMan - which I never saw the movie but just the thought...

8. Mild OCD, ability to say it like it is, extroversion.

10. A Reader's Digest Lottery Ticket (which you may have already won)
Welcome Isaac! I'm very amped about my lottery ticket. My breath is very bated.
1. Scrunch
2. High school nickname: "maths queen" or perhaps "karate kid"
3. Been a long time since I had a standard party mix but I'll go along with the pineapple (the real fruit is bad enough) and liquorice all-sorts (what a terrible thing to do to liquorice)
4. A good purchase: My "Accounting for Small Business - an Introduction" textbook from Queensland Textbook Warehouse - due to a mix-up at their end I got the workbook as well and when I called today they said I could keep it. Sweet!
5. A purchase you regret: (not sure that it counts as a purchase and I'm not totally responsible for it) - changing over from Optus to Telstra (we've only just got internet access after most of the week without - normally not a huge problem but had things to do this week that meant I had to use an internet cafe).
6. A movie villain that frightened you as a kid: can't remember any - Mum was pretty strict about what we could watch; funny thing though was that our family watched Dr Who but my grandmother wouldn't let us, fearing the monsters would give us nightmares.
7.Three of your better traits: attention to detail, intelligent, integrity (these three supplied by my husband)
8. Three of your worserer traits: arrogant, impatient, selfish with time (these three as assessed by me)
9. A song you can listen to on repeat: ones I'm learning to play; currently my big band CDs
10. The birthday present I can expect from you in the post any day now: sorry, due to dramas with Telstra I couldn't even send you an electronic cupcake (though it would also help here to be fb friends)
