“Fight Club” is my first, but it is tied with “The Prestige”, “V for Vendetta”, The Matrix series, and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

It’s ok to be the nice guy, but I personally think your primary focus should be to be the moral one.

It’s the opposite for me on #59, although I stopped the latter.

As for #6, I knew basic Japanese at one point, but it’s all drifted away.

Jason October 20, 2008 at 2:31 am

I am the complete, POLAR, super opposite on #30. I, on the other hand, think it’s one of the only things people should pay attention to.

Hey Jason!
I actually do read fiction, but I guess not so much…

I am currently reading a thousand splendid suns – I guess thats the type of fiction I read – i.e. its almost as if it was real, circumstancially and settings wise atleast.

wow.
I love how you clarified you’re a ‘boy’ in the first one, the gender thing online can be one tricky thing to decipher through just words typed onto a blog.

Man Utd supporter? Hmm, I guess I sorta hate thta since I’ve been brought up in a family where we’re all Liverpool supporters but whatever, I can accept the differences.
:p

I love badminton, like you with squash I learnt in the summer of my A Levels and love the game. It’s amazingly refreshening!

Anyhow,I could comment on every single point, but I’ll leave some for a rainy day. :)

[[[ X SMILEY X ]]] January 28, 2009 at 11:43 pm

Internet Owner May 7, 2009 at 4:36 pm

54.Thanks will add on my to read list!
35.Shawshank Redemption is a great film!
44.We scare you,why?

p.s.You said I have to comment more!;D But if I comment more I’ll be reported as spam :)

I have to say, I found it very hard to find iced tea in London. Especially the sweetened kind. Here in Canada, it’s always sweetened. Unless you ask for brewed iced tea. And Starbucks in London, does not have my favorite item….Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade. http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverage_detail.asp?selProducts={DC4E2DA9-AB57-40BE-8BCC-46C2835A8EBA}

Do I sense contradictions in #51 and #52. #23 and #65 are the same, no? You’re hooked to social networking and yet not to facebook, the ruler of all social networking sites? Hmmh~ ^_^

I’m new to your blog, welcome me won’t you? :)

The Ruler May 25, 2009 at 9:38 pm

I see.

Thanks… And nope, I’m not of Turkish origin. What makes you think that? O_o

outcastrebelchic July 14, 2009 at 7:37 pm

Lol, how do you know #52 will happen?
I majorly suck at #50 and #70, but lucky for you is that you’re very good at covering it up =D
What is a world without chocolate?
