  37. First best friend(s) ? - Uh, Andrew Nutall and Stephen Childs. Who I have unfortunately treated badly, and since lost. Damn my stupid social skills.
  38. First real memory of something ? - Getting a parachuting plastic army man, but desperately wanting a nice bouncy ball.
  39. First car ? - I've only just passed my test, so my first and current car is a Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 16v, CDX P Reg, in dark green. And it cost me nothing. A gift from my parents, nice!
  40. First date ? - Dude this really sucks, but if I'm brutally honest I would have to say I've never had one. I've been out with a few girls, but they've been friends, and we've just, hung out or gone over her place, but an official date, nada.
  41. First kiss ? - Ah, yes I remember it well. At the (rather old) age of 17, with a close friend of 19. In her bedroom with (oddly enough) her little brother playing the SNES (remember those?) in the background. We were trying out seeing each other. Three attempts later and we decided it was never going to work. Which I honestly regret.
  42. First break-up ? - The friend from above. We broke up three times, first time she broke up, "needed space", second time it was I, because she was off flirting with other guys in nightclubs, and third and final time it was kind of mutual.
  43. First job ? - Sweeping up hair in my step Grandad's barbers in Farnham. I hated that job. I worked 8.30-5pm with a half hour break, and got £15. Still my parents gave me a good work ethic, so I took what I could and liked it.
  44. First screen name ? - squelch, still the same! It's been my nickname like forever. But then with a name like Matt Quelch, it would be.
  45. First self purchased album ? - Ha, that would be Metallica - And Justice for All, on tape. I subsequently sold it to my brother, and have since re-bought it on CD.
  46. First funeral ? - I didn't go to my great nan's, so that would be my great uncle's. I had no idea what was going on. I hardly knew the guy, and couldn't see the point in the whole thing really.
  47. First prime minister (or president) you voted for ? - I have never voted. They are all a bunch of lying toe rags IMO. Next time round I'm thinking of voting Green because at least I actually agree with the majority of their plans!
  48. First piercing/tattoo ? - None. I was going to get my eyebrow pierced with my buddy Wayne when I was 16, but thought better of it, because I thought it would stop me getting a job. That'll be my Dad's influence then.
  49. First independent home ? - Uh, I still live with my parents.
  50. First house/flat/apartment ? - Alright, no need to rub it in, so I live with my parents.
  51. First love ? - Hmm, seeing how as I've never been in love I would have to say my purple cushion when I was 6. I loved that damn thing, and my brother nicked it off me, and chucked it in the attic.
  52. First enemy ? - I don't remember his name but he was some generic school bully. He wore green Wellington boots, and got beat up by my big brother when he started pushing me around! Hehe.
  53. First big trip ? - Geez, uh probably the obligatory Lad's holiday in Portugal. Lots of beer, lots of food, lots of sun, not enough of much else.
  54. First play/musical/performance ? - My parents have photographic evidence of me playing one of the wise men. With a towel around my head. Aged 5. Nice.
  55. First musician you remember hearing in your house ? - The Beatles - Dad's a big fan.
  56. Last cigarette ? - I tried it when I was like 14 with my step sister. I didn't see what all the fuss was about so didn't do it again. Last cigarette though was New Years Eve 1999-2000, when I smoked a large cigar. I was very drunk, and prepared for the world to end with the Millennium Bug (whatever happened to that???).
  57. Last kiss ? - Oh dear, I think that would be my Nan at Christmas.
  58. Last good cry ? - I don't know, I cry quite a lot actually. It was probably some film I think.

  60. Last movie seen ? - Donnie Darko, and I loved it, superb film. Watch it.
  61. Last book read ? - I'm currently reading Michel Houellebeq's Platform, but the last book I read was Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! Part of the Discworld series. Brilliantly funny!
  62. Last cuss word uttered ? - Geez, I'm terrible like that, probably swearing at some idiot driver on the way to work. Probably either "Fuck", "dickweed", or "jerk-weasel" I expect.
  63. Last beverage drank ? - Coffee. Does that count? Just a crappy Kenco instant at work.
  64. Last crush ? - I tell you I always get crushes, but because I'm so shy I never do anything about them. Last one was on a girl working in this coffee shop I go to most days for lunch. She was lovely. Really pretty, and I cursed myself for not asking her out. I almost did. Almost.
  65. Last phone call ? - First National Tricity Finance, to pay off my Kona Stinky, (£1100).
  66. Last person who called me ? - Big brother, Curtis. We get on well. He called to arrange a drink on Saturday night, but it never materialised.
  67. Last TV show watched ? - I watch way too much TV, so that would be some strange thing on Channel 4 last night about two drug addicts meeting up while in rehab and falling in love.
  68. Last time showered ? - This very morning. But the shower is crap, and the house is cold.
  69. Last shoes worn ? - My Merrell walking shoes. They are SO comfortable it's quite unbelievable.
  70. Last cd played ? - The Von Bondies - Raw and Rare, purchase just two days ago. It's a John Peel Session from the BBC. Pretty good.
  71. Last item bought ? - Crabtree and Evelyn "Nomad" deodorant. 75ml.
  72. Last downloaded ? - Mozilla Thunderbird, although after trying it I decided to stay with Kmail.
  73. Last annoyance ? - Hmm, that would be my PC continually rebooting for no reason. I eventually found the RAM was bad, and got some nice new Crucial stuff.
  74. Last disappointment ? - Not being able to go out for a drink with my Big Bro on Saturday.
  75. Last soda drank ? - Lucozade Orange on Saturday. I don't usually drink soda though, more of a Juice man myself.
  76. Last thing written ? - On the Computer: today's blog entry. By hand: updated order statuses for repairs at work.

  79. Last sleep ? - Last night, 8 hours, as usual. I like sleep. Sleep at 23.00 and awake at 7.00 for work. I hate work.
  80. Last IM ? - Telling some spammer to leave it out on my ICQ account.

  82. Last weird encounter ? - I've no idea. Sorry.
  83. Last ice cream eaten ? - Devon style ice cream from Tesco. Yum.
  84. Last time amused ? - I'm always being amused. I even amuse myself. Last time was when I saw a guy pushing his kid in a pram, and he pushed her at a curb, and she fell out, and started crying, and all these people rushed over to help. I though he might have done it on purpose to get some attention in his own backwards little world. That what was I found amusing. Hehe.
  85. Last time wanting to die ? - Genuinely? Probably when I was like 15, and hated living, and was having general teen angst.

  89. Last time resentful ? - Big Bro, for not turning up for a beer on Saturday night.
  90. Last chair sat in ? - My nice black and brown leather chair in my room. Or this crappy blue work chair.
  91. Last time dancing ? - Christmas Party, I like dancing, but only when I'm drunk enough not to remember in the morning.
