I wish people would stop posting these. I can’t help myself, if it’s a list I have to complete it.

Donna is to blame:

A: Actor. Bruce Willis.
B: Boyhood Idols. Girlhood? Robin Hood.
C: Chore You Hate. The only chore I don’t mind is washing up.
D: Dad’s Name. Odd Terje (yes, his first name really is odd).
E: Essential Video In Collection. BBC/A&E Pride & Prejudice
F: Favorite Actress. I dunno. Meg Ryan?
G: Gold or Silver. Copper/bronze…
H: Hometown. Uhm. As in “Where I come from”? Tricky. I live in Oslo.
I: Instruments Played. Not really.
J: Job Title. Developer.
K: Kids. Are people, hence I dislike the majority of them but appreciate a few individuals.
L: Living Arrangements. In a flat on my own, mostly.
M: Mom’s Name. Vera
N: Number People Slept With. 2 (no, not at the same time)
O: Overnight Hospital Stays. None.
P: Phobia. I used to be scared of the dark. Traces of that are still with me, but other than that I’m not really irrationally afraid of anything.
Q: Quote You Like. Outside a dog a book is a man’s best friend. Inside a dog it’s too dark to read. – Groucho Marx
R: Religious Affiliation. Sort of Christian with a touch of agnosticism, if that’s possible.

T: Time You Wake Up. Between six and seven on weekdays, a couple of hours later on the weekends.
U: Unique Habit. I can’t think of any right now.
V: Vegetable You Refuse To Eat. Fresh tomatoes (or are they fruits?)
W: Worst Habit. Procrastination
X: X-rays Taken. Four. Two of my spine and two of my left foot. And oodles of my teeth, obviously, including a couple of my whole jaw.
Y: Yummy Food You Make. All the food I make is yummy. Hmph.
Z: Zodiac Sign. Aries.
