40 questions. Found on a random blog.

Who is the last person you high-fived? Probably my nephew. We certainly do the whole clenched hand, knuckle touching thing all of the time.
If you were drafted into a war, would you survive? Of course. History is written by the winners.
Do you sleep with the TV on? Only by accident.
Have you ever drunk milk straight out of the carton? Almost certainly, but I cannot remember the last time.
Have you ever won a spelling bee? Nope, but when I was 9 I came first in a reading aloud contest and they gave me a little cup. My Step Grandfather got it engraved for me. I have still got it.
Have you ever been stung by a bee? Don't think so. If I ever was, it was so long ago that I cannot remember.
How fast can you type? These days, no idea, but when I did typing at school I passed an exam at 80 words per minute.
Are you afraid of the dark? No.
Eye colour? Green. Lorraine says that there is a bit of blue in there as well, but I have never seen it.
Have you ever made out at a drive-in? No. Never been to a drive-in. If I did go to a drive-in, I would be attempting to watch the movie and nothing would distract me, unless the woman with me was spectacular (Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, Jennifer Connolly, et al).
When was the last time you chose a bath over a shower? Probably the last time I had the shits. March?
Do you knock on wood? No.
Do you floss daily? No.
Can you hula hoop? Don't know. Never tried.
There wasn't a question 15, so one of my own. Look to your left. What is the first thing you see? A Staples bag containing 3 ring binders.
Are you good at keeping secrets? Yes, except for my own.
What do you want for Christmas? Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men. Failing that, sex with the most beautiful female porn star in the world. They are both as likely to happen as each other.
Do you know the Muffin Man? No. He doesn't live around here.
Do you talk in your sleep? I've been told that I do. Apparently I argue with myself.
Who wrote the book of love? No idea.
Have you ever flown a kite? Everybody has flown a kite.
Do you wish on your fallen lashes? I have no idea what that means.
Do you consider yourself successful? No. Far from it.
How many people are on your contact list of your cell? I don't know. I barely turn my phone on. Maybe two. My Mom's number and my home number.
Have you ever asked for a pony? No.
Plans for tomorrow? Birthday meal with my family and then Lorraine and I are going to see "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End".
Can you juggle? I could once. I once attended a seminar by this guy. Really interesting and fascinating course about memory and learning techniques. At the start of the seminar he promised us that by the end of it we would all be able to juggle, and we could. Something to do with unconscious mental motor functions.
Missing someone now? Oh, yes. Lorraine is downstairs on the laptop logged onto the work server, but she mentally she is absent from me. Lately it is happening a lot. Honestly, I miss my friend Vicky.
When was the last time you told someone "I love you"? I don't know.
And truly meant it? If I say it, I always mean it.
How often do you drink? Not in the week. I have stopped that nonsense. I have had some wine this evening. Not too much.
How are you feeling today? Melancholy.
What do you say too much? Bollocks.
Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school? Amazingly, no.
What are you looking forward to? Bit pathetic, this, but the climax of the latest series of "Doctor Who". I thought this evening's episode was a stone cold classic. I had to wipe away a sad tear. True.
Have you ever crawled through a window? Oh, yes. Sister 1 once broke the front door (it's a long story, which I won't bore you with now) and nobody could open it. I had to escape the house from the kitchen window.
Have you ever eaten dog food? Not that I know of, but the food in the canteen at work sometimes resembles dog food.
Can you handle the truth? Yes I can. Give it to me straight.
Do you like green eggs and ham? Aren't green eggs, rotten eggs? In that case, no. I do like ham. Kill the pigs! Kill the pigs!
Any cool scars? I have a scar on my forehead from when I butted the fireplace at my Gran's when I was 6 months old. I have a scar on my left elbow from when I once fell on some gravel at school. I have a scar on my left leg from when I cut my leg open on some glass. (Inside it looked white and spongy. I remember that.)
