Alistair Bain said...

1. Categorically NO.
2. Roxus: Where are you Now.
3. Right side up. There's no dust in there.
4. Absolutely. We have aver 60 in our garden. Over summer they are cut and brought indoors.
5. My fountain pen.

Amy said...

1. Nope. I still can't go camping 10 years after Blair Witch. Eep.
2. Those performed by the Glee Cast.
3. Upright - are stackable that way.
4. Not nearly enough.
5. Everything I've lost I wish I hadn't because I am obsessive like that (not so much the item, but that I have lost something).

Beth said...

1. No...but i will watch them.
2. Hard to think of one!!
3. Upside down...if the glass isn't used for a period of time, nothing 'settles' inside.
4. Yes...whenever i can...
5. My ability to look at things positively...

Wendy said...

1. Noooooo.
2. Can't think of one.
3. Upright. I'm with Al on dust and Amy on stackable. We have minimum glasses, so most get used frequently.
4. Sometimes, but not as often as I should. Often when walking with my children.
5. Lots of things, but one was the most gorgeous turquoise jumper.

Pedro said...

1. Ummmm. They scare me. but i will watch them with someone.
2. Xanadu
3. upside down. keeps dust out.
4. yes.
5. A late 80's model Mark Richards shaped twin fin I bought for 170 bucks. Thing would be worth a bomb now.

Simone R. said...

1. No.
2. Depends how you define bad... chasing cars.
3. Upright. Stackable and because mum did it that way.
4. Yes. I especially like to smell jasmine - childhood memories...
5. Running fitness.

Laetitia :-) said...

1. Do you like scary movies? - Sometimes, but I prefer funny ones.
2. A bad song you've got a soft spot for - Where do I start? Have you seen our CD collection? But as Simone says, it depends on your definition - are we talking songs with morally / ethically dodgy lyrics or just appallingly badly written?
3. Drinking glasses. Do you put them in the cupboard upright or upside down? Why? - Not in cupboard. Most are upside down to stop dust getting in; others that are used more often are right-side up to dry better (according to my husband).
4. Do you ever literally stop to smell the roses? - Absolutely.
5. Something you wish you hadn't lost - my innocence, my sense of personal integrity every time I stuff up...again. I tend not to miss stuff so much now.

Georgina said...

1. Yep, especially if I can squeal and cling to someone.
2. Run to Paradise, by the Choir Boys
3. More to the point, they don't often get to the cupboard. They tend to go from the washing up rack to drink, to washing up.
4. Yep
5. My grandma, a year ago.

Chris L said...

1. Yes
2. Working Class Man
3. both so they dovetail more neatly.
4. roses no. admire every inch that our native trees grow at home. yes
5. singing with music team at church

lu said...

And now Xanadu will be going thru my mind all day....

1. no
2. probably most of what i listen to
3. upside down - not sure, cause that's how we did it growing up
4. yes, when i can
5. my oldest son's favorite stuff animal at the Atlanta airport when he was still a baby

Ben McLaughlin said...

1. Yeah, they're my favourite. Fear without consequences.
2. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Starship
3. Both. I canm never work out what's best. Upright, they may get dust, upsidedown, they may get stifled mustiness.
4. Yes, but I only started in recent years. They smell very good!
5. I had a journal/book of prayers that was in a backpack that got stolen. I hate to think of it floating arond, or sitting somewhere at the tip. Grr.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Al-Ha! Roxus! I'd forgotten them. But the song came straight back to me..it's that one that goes 'where are you now, are you missing me tonite, or is someone else holding you tiight' right? Deep. P.S. props for the rose garden, that's cool.

Amy-Yeah, I get the obsession thing. For me I can not care at all about something, until it's gone, and then suddenly it was the most important thing in the whole world, and I must seek out a replacement of this rare jewel on ebay.

Beth- not being able to think of a song is a tell-tale sign of being deluded that your music taste is 100% worthy:)

Wendy- I don't get the stackable arguement. Are they not equally stackable either way?

Pedro- It's fun to watch scary movies with someone like you, because you know they're going to jump and get into it.

Simone- I love Jasmine too. It's the smell of the start of spring. And good work on recognising Chasing Cars as being in this catagory. That's the first step to recovery.

Laetitia- Nah, some things don't need further definition. Bad is bad.

Georgina-Ha ha, Choir Boys! You don't want anyone, you don't wah-ant anyone!

Chris-I liked all of your answers. I think we are kindred spirits.

Lu-Yeah, it's funny how we just do things because that's how our parents did them.
