Hello smile

I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.

Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...

Twenty Questions

tagmeme bored

I am so bored. There's fuck-all on the telly — unless you like worthy meaningful tedious Sunday evening dross, no-one is writing anything witty online to keep me chuckling until midnight, and the cats are refusing to dance for my entertainment.

And despite a self-promise I made earlier ("Siobhan, you don't have to write something every day you know"), I thought maybe I could interest myself with a small poll.

Ack, c'mon — it could be fun :unsure:

  1. What is the advert on television that annoys you the most?

  2. What is the single most erotic thing you've ever seen?

  3. A or B?

    a b

  4. In an ideal world, life would run by:

    a. Petrol
    b. Diesel
    c. Alcohol
    d. Pedal

  5. Markdown or Textile?

  6. Which age-group are the worst? Tweenies or Teenagers?

  7. Straight, gay or flamboyant?

  8. If there was, like, a fire in your house, and you had to save one thing, what caused the fire?

  9. Oh go on, what would you save?

  10. Do you (regardless of whether you're a bloke or not) wear women's clothing under your normal clothes?

  11. "Its" or "it's"?

  12. How many transvestites does it take to change a lightbulb?

  13. Are you superstitious?

  14. Is there anything that you wouldn't do?

  15. How much cash would it take to make you do it?

  16. What's the single most irritating thing that you do?

  17. Pottery or Painting?

  18. What is the single most crappiest thing I've ever written?

  19. Jamie Oliver's tongue — what's that all about?

  20. If you could spend one day, doing exactly what you wanted to, without any consequences, knowing that everything would be back to normal the next day, what would you wear? And is there anything about that day that you wish would continue throughout the rest of your life.

  1. Those 'this is not just a...' ads with Dervla Kirwin. M&S do food-porn, and not in an exciting 'let me cover you with Dublin Mudslide and then lick it off' kind of way.

  2. A fat guy dressed as a Stormtrooper. Grrr!

  3. A. Unless I'm drunk when I have to replace it.

  4. C. As it is my life is currently run by E, Red Bull.

  5. What's Markdown? (Looks at wikipedia). Oh, it's one of your boring boy-things... :smile:

  6. Teenagers. Tweenies we heard into the Childrens Library and then close the door. They can't get out until someone else opens the door. Ha! Teenagers gather round the Playstation and piss off everyone within a five mile radius.

  7. Greedy fence-sitting scum?

  8. I don't know, but it was always burnin' since the world's been turnin'.

  9. My Doctor Who Box Set. If not that, then the alcohol, so I could drink to forget that I wasn't able to save the Doctor Who Box Set.

  10. What would be the point of that?

  11. That's an unfair question.

  12. One, as I proved last night.

  13. Nope, just borderline O/C and for a short-time worried by bouts of sychronicity.

  14. Well, I wouldn't go back in time and kill my grandfather, on close investigation that would appear to be just asking for trouble. (Looks at question 15) Oh, and I wouldn't take a billion pounds and live the life of reilly in a mansion with as many Westwood skirts as I could force her withered hands to make.

  15. Oh, if you insist, 1 billion and 1 pounds.

  16. Well, sometimes when people ask me questions I get halfway through answering and then get sidetracked into something- isn't 'sidetracked' an odd word? I wonder where it comes from. I must say, I didn't think I was going to like Balderdash and Piffle when it started but it has kind of grown on me now, and I must admit I do get excited wondering whether the OED people are going to accept thingy Coren's evidence.

  17. Painting. But what about Pottery and Painting?

  18. Hmmm? Who are you? How did you get into my house? Nurse!

  19. One day it will grow so fat that it will block his throat and he will die. Then people will cheer, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall will do a show where he slow cooks the dead body.

  20. I'd be curious to see what happens if I, and an entire team of staff, made the effort to properly femme up, whether it would be possible with my extremely male body. If it worked I'd probably not need any encouragement to do it again.

Right, here are my answers.

  1. The dfs advert. does that sale ever end?

  2. a video of 30 lesbians sucking each other out. a friend had it on his computer.

  3. don't know... can't see the images. I don't want to take a random guess in case my choice will haunt me for ever.

  4. petrol. it's cheaper.

  5. what's markdown?

  6. Teenagers. and I've only just been through that faze.

  7. Straight, but I'm a tranny, does that make me flamboyant?

  8. um... Probably my cooking.

  9. my family. if I was on my own, me.

  10. I would wear women's clothes if I had any. still with parents at the minute.

  11. depending on what you're on about. if it's just a random thing, its.

  12. don't know.

  13. not any more. I did cross my fingers a lot when I was younger.

  14. eat or drink anything like crap or piss.

  15. 10 million quid.

  16. drumming on whatever's near me when a song I like comes on.

  17. pottery definetly. painting to a blindy is as useful as an ejector seat in a helicopter.

  18. when you go on about scripts you're righting and you include bits of code.

  19. no idea sorry.

  20. I would be dressed up to the nines. skirt, tights, knickers, a really nice top, high heels, I would have perfume and nail polish on, and accessories like a neckless, bracelet, earrings, handbag, that kind of thing. and I wouldn't want anyone to be bothered with what I'm wearing.

  1. On Aussie TV- Any ad for beer....

  2. Oh um well umm, the single? what you are gonna make me chose?

  3. A and I turn it around if someone has done it B.

  4. C, definitely C (is this even a serious question?)

  5. markdown whilst wearing incredible textiles.

  6. Whats a Tweenie? Can you hunt them legally?

  7. a choice of just those three? Can I mesh all three together into a new catagory?

  8. The still in the shed.

  9. The still in the shed.

  10. Duh. What type of question is that?

  11. Well it depends on the situation you are using "it" in, is it plural or possessive?

  12. 10. (insert some witty reason here)

  13. It is bad luck to be superstitious.

  14. Yea.... no wait already done that...

  15. Obviously not a lot, I did it for free. Damn didn't know I could get paid for it. argh.

  16. Write aswers to lists of 20 questions.

  17. Are they like supposed to be choices or something?

  18. A list of 20 questiions.

  19. It's (see possessive) kinda like OX tongue, only you have to let it sit on the bbq plate longer.

  20. What would I wear? Something very black, long almost victorian, with studs, and leather, and a kick ass corset, 6inch boots and get my makeup done by that girl I kinda fancy. — and what to continue on? The girl to do my makeup ofcourse. She's hot!

Argh you don't recognise hard returns. Files away in brain for next time LI is easier to type anyway.

I know — and I've just tried everything I can think of to fix it...

I used hard returns, not <li> tags and it came out ok. or did you format it intoa list?.

There we go :smile: Just took a bit of my Magic Internet Fairy Wand Waving™ — that's all

I wasn't going to answer this one as I don't normally answer memes (only because nobody ever tags me), but some of them warrent an answer.

  1. The advert on television that annoys me the most is any featuring that smug, oily, creepy.... git Michael Winner. He's on adverts more often than Linda Barker these days.

  2. Who says I've only seen one erotic thing?

  3. A or B? — Yes, either is preferable to neither.

  4. Life is run by Alcohol. You missed "wind" out of the options, but then, you don't have shares in Heinz.

  5. Markdown or Textile? Am I bovvered?

  6. Tweenagers.

  7. Straight. It ranks above a pair (but is less than a flush).

  8. Whatever caused the fire, it wasn't me.

  9. I would probably save my photo albums. Narcissistic or what?

  10. Do you (regardless of whether you're a bloke or not) wear women's clothing under your normal clothes? No. But my wife does.

  11. "Its" or "it's"? Yes.

  12. How many transvestites does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Ten. One to change the bulb and the other nine to say how good she looks, that skirt's not too short, your arms aren't that hairy, no-one will notice that shadow....

  13. Are you superstitious? No, I'm aquarius.

  14. Is there anything that you wouldn't do? Drink milk from the cupped hands of Rula Lenska ranks high on my list...

  15. How much cash would it take to make you do it? 30 pieces of silver.

  16. What's the single most irritating thing that you do? Be right unless I'm wrong.

  17. Pottery or Painting? Paintings don't usually break when you knock them off the table.

  18. What is the single most crappiest thing I've ever written? Hmmm.... The list could be endless :tongue:

  19. Jamie Oliver's tongue — what's that all about? I've no idea. Is this some strange "Second Life" fetish?

  20. If you could spend one day, doing exactly what you wanted to, without any consequences, knowing that everything would be back to normal the next day, what would you wear? And is there anything about that day that you wish would continue throughout the rest of your life.

Layers of latex.

All of it.

That should keep the psychoanalysts (who put the anal into analyst anyway?) busy.

What's really annoying is that it all looked fine in the preview pane. Get a grip Siobhan. You're supposed to be a CSS guru for God's sake.

Yes, but I suck at regex OK?

  1. I hate the crappily-done ones for local places.

  2. The look on a certain someone's face when he.....you know.

  3. Most definitely A.

  4. C.

  5. Uh...I don't get it.

  6. Tweenies. I am a teenager.

  7. Rather undecidedly bisexual.

  8. Me leaving the hairdryer plugged in, it falling, turning on, and electrocuting my entire collection of Harry Potter memorabilia...

  9. A mermaid snowglobe that my mother gave me for my fifth birthday. Oh, and my laptop.

  10. Well, sometimes a camisole is necessary under certain blouses. Or I could just say that I own one piece of man's clothing, a jacket, and leave it at that.

  11. It's horribly sad that you're asking a question based on an apostrophe. That hurts its feelings.

  12. None, they don't make panties small enough... (I hope that's not a horrible joke, don't throw things at me)

  13. Not really.

  14. Of course. I don't know what it is...

  15. I'll just take Bill Gates's house in California...and his money...

  16. Bite my nails.

  17. Painting. I'm awful at pottery, but give me some watercolors and I can make a pretty mess. Instead of an attempt at a bowl.

  18. Not a thing as long as I've been reading....which isn't admittedly long...

  19. He uses it to smell.

  20. ....probably nothing. And I'd be shopping or something. Or on vacation in Fiji. And no one would look at me funny. (I find it amusing that everyone else is saying they'd be completely dressed up, but I just find that really uncomfortable.) And I could do things naked I'd never done before naked. And I could have sex on the beach. And if I wanted one thing to continue, it would be the being in Fiji part. And the sex.

  1. I don't watch adverts. Go to 16

  1. First time I saw a woman put on a stocking.

  2. B, of course. A is weird.

  3. Alcohol.

  4. Don't use either — the rich HTML editor in Wordpress is enough for my simple needs.

  5. Teenagers.

  6. Willing.

  7. Not turning the chip pan off.

  8. Back-up disks

  9. I do if my normal clothes are female, otherwise no.

  10. It's a difficult question because of its ambiguity.

  11. Don't know. No good at jokes.

  12. Certainly not.

  13. Probably.

  14. Depends. Anything over £100 and I'll do something I might previously have said I wouldn't do.

  15. Get up when adverts come on the telly and pace up and down the room complaining about all of them.

  16. Painting, obviously. Pottery?

  17. I don't know. I haven't read everything you've written.

  18. I shudder to think.

  19. A wedding gown. Keep the dress for the rest of my life. Ditch the husband the next day.

/me hangs head in shame, and apologises for the formatting borks

The solution is to get down to the pub more often.

looby

No, the solution is to just drink yourself stupid in the comfort of your own home, damaging your eardrums by playing shit through your headphones at full volume, and hoping that, in the morning, the HTML Fairies have come and tidied up the place.

13: I like to think that I'm not, but I am.

19: It's to help him with the sainsbury's adverts

-What is the advert on television that annoys you the most?

I watch not T.V. The ad. i remember was about local stuff, and i don't remember it actually.

-What is the single most erotic thing you've ever seen?

I guess it rhymes with "futaba" although i'm not sure.

A or B?

C:

:biggrin:_OeQW0QYHmf2M:http://www.jumpingmonkeys.com/archives/fancy%2520toilet%2520paper.jpg">

In an ideal world, life would run by:

a. Petrol

b. Diesel

c. Alcohol

d. Pedal

I don't know what Pedal is, but it does sounds like a nice alternative.

Markdown or Textile?

Probably Textile, although markdown does sounds interesting. (I don't know what those are.)

Which age-group are the worst? Tweenies or Teenagers?

Of these? neither, both suck about the same. In general? eldery peoples

Straight, gay or flamboyant?

Extremly flamboyant, plz

If there was, like, a fire in your house, and you had to save one thing, what caused the fire?

I did. Oops.

Oh go on, what would you save?

My hard drives.

Do you (regardless of whether you're a bloke or not) wear women's clothing under your normal clothes?

Yup.

"Its" or "it's"?

Both, "its" is the way one write to say "something to belongs to it" , meanwhile "its" is how you say "it is" in the short form.

How many transvestites does it take to change a lightbulb?

Probably about the whole internet, since the one who does will post sie's picture on the intarweb and get compliments form around all the world, imho.

Are you superstitious?

Yes. I also am a trasnvestite. Which one's worse?

Is there anything that you wouldn't do?

Yes. In fact, there are Fewer things that i would do.

How much cash would it take to make you do it?

Probably, above 100 USD

What's the single most irritating thing that you do?

This thing where i mix lenguages when i speak or sometimes when i write.. The other day i carried a full length post while in the middle of a furious conversation only to notice i wrote half spanish half english and everybody made fun of me and made me a social outcast.

Pottery or Painting?

I'd take painting any day. Well, minuse when i have to eat or some such, you know?

What is the single most crappiest thing I've ever written?

Probably the things you haven't published.

Jamie Oliver's tongue — what's that all about?

uhm... A tongue?

If you could spend one day, doing exactly what you wanted to, without any consequences, knowing that everything would be back to normal the next day, what would you wear? And is there anything about that day that you wish would continue throughout the rest of your life.

I'd wear a angel dress/tunic, with wings an everything, Then change on my way to wherever i'd go to put a goffik dress with combat boots and such, Then while at there, i'd put on a cat suit, just because by then everybody would have figured out the best way to lynch me and then i'd have to put a lightweit runner costume as to run as fast as i could to run from a angry mob whilst hoping the day to end so i can live another day or some such.

And i'd not continue one single day for the rest of my life.

That'd SUCK majorly.
