London N9 property for sale & area guide – Find a Property

Dear Carla,

Are we human or are we dancer?

The Killers

I haven’t even listened to that song yet and I like the lyrics (sort of. They are a bit silly).

I have been baking banana muffins for the last half hour. If I die tomorrow, I would like my famous quote to be:

The art of baking lies not in the recipe, but the simplicity

Ben

Because that’s how I feel about baking.

(AND HOLY SHIT YOU ARE SO RIGHT NEW WORDPRESS IS BEAUTIFUL, the new font on the typing page is amazing and makes me feel lovely inside).

I said I would write a little quizzy thing for the letter today, and I meant it. I’m going to try to do 50 questions (yes FIFTY) but I can’t promise anything. And the questions MAY get a little repetetive.

1. Name? Ben
2. Favourite word? Facetious (every single vowel in the alphabet in order, baby!)
3. What is your idea of hell? My idea of hell is being in an enormous field with a really REALLY low ceiling. It has everything I need to survive, but I can’t stand up or sit up and it’s really dark and hard to breathe. it hurts just to think about
4. Grab the book (novel) that is directly closest to you (you may have to think about it). Turn to page 12. Go to the FIFTH line. What is it? And what is the book? Stephen King’s – IT: “in occasional spatters.” Ew. Innuendo.
5. Reach your hand out behind you. What do you touch first? My dressing gown, lying on my bed.
6. Can you cook? If so, what is your speciality? I bake more than cook. I am particularly partial to cherry clafoutis which is basically a sweet omelette with cherries in. It is delish. Not on paper, but it is scrumptious.
7. What was the last thing you learnt? The origins of the words NEWS. It comes from NORTH EAST WEST SOUTH, because before the “news” was around you would only hear about regional/local news.
8. Any interesting scars? Not yet. Nope.
9. Take the third letter of your first name and type it into Google with a number between 1-10. Copy and paste the first result.

18. Quote (by someone you know) of the day? “Tell my brother I’m pissed off with him!” “She’s pissed off at you.”
19. Can you do a handstand? No.
20. Can you hold your breath for a minute? Try. Just about. I am useless. It felt like my throat was trying to eat my neck.

35. Come the floods, what would be your talent for survival? Cheering up? Propoganda? At least, I hope it would be.
36. Cringey moment? In a christmas quiz last year. I made an Avril Lavigne comment. Don’t ask.
