1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.

Verben die Endung -t bzw. -et

Duden, Übungen zur deutschen Sprache I.

I think this explains why I am doing this.

2.Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. Where are your fingers?

On top of the Duden, which is on top of another stack of grammars.

3.What is the last thing you watched on TV?

Footage of the London Whale, in my lunchbreak in the MCR

4. Without looking, guess what time it is?

17:40

5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time.

17:52

6. Besides the computer, what else can you hear?

HAndel's Messiah, my flatmate calling home to tell his mum he has chickenpox.

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

This afternoon, getting off the bus home.

8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?

LJ friends page, then looked at the grammar again, then thought... nah.

9.What are you wearing?

Jeans, white blouse, sweater.

10.Did you dream last night?

Search me.

11. When did you last laugh?

This afternoon, at Doonesbury.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?

Two photographs of CS Lewis (not my responsibility, but I can live with it...)

13. Seen anything weird lately?

Does my 24-year-old flatmate's "classic" case of chickenpox count (apparently, the doctor actually took a photograph, it was so perfect...)

14. What do you think of this quiz?

Hey, it's not an exercise on strong verbs...

15. What is the last film you saw?

Chronicles of Narnia (unless you count DVDs, in which case it was the Sound of Music)

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?

A full set of the OED.
A full set of Grimm's dictionary.

I sound like a complete nerd now, don't I?

17. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

Convince everyone that we need to take better care of the environment. What we're doing to the planet scares me.

18. Do you like to dance?

Depends. Scottish country is fantastic fun; waltzing is nice.

I cannot, however, do any sort of modern dance to save my life.

19. George W. Bush

How long, O Lord....?

20. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?

Currently my two favourite female saints are Katherine and Elisabeth, which works nicely as a name...

21. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?

James Peter

22. Would you ever consider living abroad?

Well, I've done that and enjoyed it, so, yes.

23. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?

As long as it's not 'Terribly sorry, but you've been misdirected' I don't much mind...

Wouldn't be S. Peter, anyway?

24. Tag 5 people to do this meme:

No.

Ooo, the OED! That's a great idea for what to do with my future millions.
