That reverse survey

[ciphergoth]

It's that guessing game. I got it from skx, but I've guddled it about somewhat.

Some of this is pretty easy to find out even if you don't know me at all.

Factual questions:

1. What's my name?
2. What's my middle name?
3. Do I smoke?
4. Do I believe in God?
5. How old am I?
6. How tall am I?
7. What color is my hair?
8. What color are my eyes?
9. Do I have any siblings?
10. Are my parents still together?
11. Who do I define as partners?
12. Have I ever had a broken heart?
13. How many people have I slept with?

Less factual questions

1. What's one of my favorite things to do?
2. What's my favorite type of music?
3. What is my best physical feature?
4. In what ways am I unorthodox?
5. In what ways am I orthodox?
6. Am I shy or outgoing?
7. What special talents do I have?
8. Am I an ethical person?

Varying questions:

1. How long have you known me?
2. How well do you know me?
3. Where did we meet?
4. When you first saw me what was your impression?
5. Do you remember one of the first things I said to you, or you to me?
6. In what way should I change?
7. In what way should I not change?

Don't answer any you don't like, of course...

Facts:

1. You are Paul Crowley. CROW-LEE. CROW it shall be (just joking).
2. Don't know but it starts with a D (pdc@...). Maybe David.
3. You do not smoke cigarettes, pipes, or cigars.
4. You could probably tear someone to shreds pointing out the absurdity and prejeudice carried in the question.
5. You are about 31 years old.
6. You are about nose-height :-) That would be about 1.75 metres.
7. It is as black as Malevitch's square, the cold furnace in which we stare.
8. Tough one. Believe it or not, I don't notice that in people. I think light green.
9. Lots. You have a cute and somewhat hyperactive younger brother called Tom, two half-sisters who must be about 16, and you may even have an older brother I've never seen.
10. Only one of them exists. She is fab.
11. I would say Alison. I'm not sure what your actual definition is.
12. You must have had.
13. My guess would be about 75.

Opinions:

1. You especially like having sex.
2. You like indie rock-industrial music.
3. Your shape. You look very attractive without your clothes.
4. You are a bisexual SM pervert, have leftwing and anarchist views, and actually believe your principles. You support unconditional freedom of information.
5. You have a job, a primary partner, and a mortgage. You eat white sliced bread bought at Tesco's.
6. You are outgoing.
7. You are very good at cryptography, unix and web hacking, mathematics, political thought, and picking up goths.
8. Most definitely.

Relationship:

1. Since 1989.
2. You sometimes ask stupid questions.
3. I don't remember exactly. On one occation you were asleep in room C1 (I think) South Bridge.
4. You had very prominent features, were probably a pervert, and had a refreshingly natural (i.e. one that would be considered strange) attitude to things. These impressions were accurate. Your speech was also nearly incomprehensible.
5. "You are Paul", "You must be Pavlos".
6. You could consider acquiring a soul.
7. You should retain Opinions 4, 7, and 8.

   Pavlos
