"And Dave said 'Let there be blog', and there was blog. And Dave saw that it was good."

After much poking and prodding of my brain, and mulling over whether it would even have a point to it, I've broken down and decided to start up a blog of my own. I'm gonna try and keep it going with a post every couple of days or so. There might be me bitching about something, or telling a great weekend story, or asking you, the reader (and hopefully you'll come back) for an opinion on something...basically whatever comes to mind. So I guess I should start off by introducing myself with one of those random inane bullshit e-mail questionnaires that everybody gets but nobody ever really fills out unless they're incredibly bored. And, conveniently enough, I'm incredibly bored. So here goes:

1. What time is it? 10:07pm
2. What is your name as it appears on your birth certificate: David Patrick Curran
3. Nickname(s): Dave, The Chief, Ant, Sir Ants-a-lot, Tight Dave
4. Parents Names: Dennis (dad), Elaine (mom), Steve (stepdad), Sandi (stepmom
5. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake? 19
6. Date that you regularly blow them out? March 12th
8. Eye colour: Green with brown flecks...I dunno if that qualifies as hazel or not.
9. Hair colour: Brown
10. Piercing/Tattoos: I'm going to get a tattoo eventually. I'll post a picture of it sooner or later.
11. How much do you love your job? I don't love my job at all. It's just something to make some extra cash for school. But I don't hate it either. I guess I'm content.
12. Best gift you've received? Everything my parents have done for me for the past 19 years.
13. Favourite Food: Pasta. It wavers between spicy and Fettucine Alfredo.
14. Hometown: Sackville, NS.
15. Been in love? Yup. Twice.
16. Been to Africa? No, but would I ever love to someday.
17. Been toilet-papering? I did once, while very very drunk. But it didn't have the intended effect because the guy who's house we TP'ed was doing it with us.
18. Loved somebody so much it made you cry? No, but I cried when I lost them.
20. Sprite or 7up?: 7up.
21. Favourite Movies? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Scarface
22. Favourite Holiday? Summer holidays used to be because lots was happening, but these days I've been working on them so it hasn't mattered much. Although I am a fan of Victoria Day now because it's the day after conference and it's my day to sleep in for way too long.
23. Favourite day of the week: Usually during the year it's a sunny, warm Friday. But with my days off being Sunday and Monday from this current job, it's Monday for now.
24. Favourite word or phrase: "Let's bounce, yo."
25. Favourite toothpaste? Aim
26. Favourite restaurant(s): The Southern Cross (Ottawa), The Four Meadows (Philadelphia), Mexicali Rosa's, East Side Mario's
27. Favourite Flowers: Bird of Paradise
28. Favourite drink: Alcoholic, it's Molson Canadian for beer or Bailey's, although I've really been loving the Whiskey Sours lately. Non-Alcoholic, chocolate milk or Pepsi, depending on the mood I'm in.
30. Preferred type of ice cream: Mint Chocolate Chip
31. Favourite sesame street character: Those worms that hung out with Oscar the Grouch...I always thought they were so cute.
32. Worst fear? Being totally helpless.
33. What CD is in your player this second? Nothing's in the CD player, but I'm listening to Lovers in a Dangerous Time by Bruce Cockburn.
34. Favourite Music: God, just about anything. But mostly what I listen to is Classic Rock and some new Rock.
35. When was your last hospital visit? Blood tests in February 2005 for mono.
36. What colour is your bedroom carpet? A weird combination between blood red and purple, with white and blue spots. The girl who had my room before we moved in picked it out.
37. How many times did you fail your drivers test? How does someone fail the driver's test?
38. Who is the last person you got email from before this? Jamie Blasina, DASSS President
39. Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Not convicted. I've committed a hell of a lot though.
40. Which single store would you choose to max out your credit card? Probably Future Shop, although it wouldn't be much use considering my credit limit is tiny.
41. What do you do most often when you are bored? Play guitar.
42. Who are your friends that live the farthest away? I've got a couple Interland friends from as far away as Australia and Scotland.
43. Most annoying things: People who refuse to accept when they're wrong about something, and people who are fanatical about certain things (even if I agree with their position, they shouldn't be as insanely radical about it).
44. When do you go to bed? Usually between 1 and 2 am.
45. Who will respond the quickest? Nobody, considering this is a blog. But people are welcome to leave comments.
46 Who is the person you sent this to that is least likely to answer? Just about everyone...?
47. Favourite all time TV show? Probably Family Guy, maybe Monty Python's Flying Circus or The Simpsons.
49. Last movie you saw? Wedding Crashers for the second time.
50. Who knows you the best: That's a good question. Unfortunately not a whole lot of people know me too deeply, especially not since I graduated high school and my friends left. So...I dunno...Ann? Basia?
52. Favourite bar/place to go out? If I'm going to a bar, out of all the ones I've been to I had the most fun at The Dome. But if you're looking for me in bars, your best bet during the school year is either at Dooly's or more likely at The Grawood.
54. What is your favourite song right now? Yikes. "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins?
55. Where is the best place to sit in your house? On the downstairs poofy chair.
Time finished: 10:35 PM

So I guess I'll stop this post for now, and people can leave comments if they want to see something specific, or comment on how much of a moron I am or how much they love me...whatever. :)

Peace.
