How Well Do Your Friends Really Know You?

A couple of months ago, I received a questionnaire via email. Now I'm always getting questionnaires - you know, the ones where you have to answer a whole lot of questions about yourself and then forward it on to your friends. Then they fill it out and send it back to you (well, you hope they do).

But this questionnaire was slightly different. I had to fill it out and answer questions about my friend, Christina to show her how well I really knew her and then send it back to her. Then I sent the list of questions to a group of my friends to see how well they knew me. Unfortunately, I only got 5 responses (slackers!) and I'm happy to say they all did pretty well. I marked the responses below in red (very teacher-like I know).

MY NAME?

Yep, all right here. I tried it when I was 13 but smoking is BAAAD mmmkay.

DO I DRINK?
Occasionally :)
Yes but not to excession
BEEEEEEEEEEER!
Sometimes
Sometimes, but not a lot, generally just socially, except for the night-cap of baileys you had for awhile! - I was trying to finish the bottle okay ;)
Correct, I drink occasionally but not a lot and when I do it's usually beer.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION UPON MEETING ME/SEEING ME?
Yay a friend with the same sense of humour as me!
Hot chick
I like her. She's as nutso as me.
You're a godly, fun and easy going gal who made me feel comfortable amongst many strangers.
I thought you were a bit zany, but very fun-loving.

WHAT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO?
Sing and pretend to be Julie Andrews hehe :)
Dance
Spend time with me cos I'm awesome. Church. Tennis.
Singing
Watch one of your favourite TV shows, or catch up with a friend you don't get to see much.
They would all pass as correct, I s'pose.

AM I FUNNY?
YEESSSSSSSSS!!!
Very
Yessum, crazy girl
Yes
Yes, very. You're talented in that area.
Awww, thanks guys :D

WHAT'S MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF MUSIC?
All sorts?
Musicals
Lotsa top 40, easy listening type stuff.
Rock and pop
Hmmm... you have a pretty varied taste in music yourself. Sound of Music songs? :)
Check out my profile to see my favourite music.

CAN I SING?
Yes, and quite often do.
Definitely
Sure
Yes, but you keep that information very quiet. Not a huge amount of people know this!
You are coming along nicely with Heidi's expert guidance! I have definitely noticed an improvement this year. You are a very joyful singer!

WHAT IS THE BEST FEATURE ABOUT ME?
Sense of humour, funness, laugh, eyes and hair! :)
Your sense of humour and honesty.
ARE YOU FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS, MISSY?! - Yep, sure am Mands ;)
Your cheeky smile and laugh.
You are a very real person (not fake) and you're always good fun to be with.

AM I SHY OR OUTGOING?
Outgoing but shy if you don't know anyone.
Outgoing
Bit of both. Depends who you're with.
Inbetween. Depends on the people you are with and the situation you are in.
You're shy when you first meet people, but once you're comfortable you let rip!
Yep, that's about right.

AM I A REBEL OR DO I FOLLOW THE RULES?
A little from column A and a little from column B.
Both
Rules are good mmmkay
You can be a rebel if that's the right thing to do, because rules are unjust. But usually a rules person.
I think you are a bit of a rebel, you always challenge why things are.
Depends on what the rules are and who's making 'em.

DO I HAVE ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?
Yes, singing and making people laugh.
Making animal noises - I do a hen laying an egg and a rooster crowing :)
Oooh, that's a personal question :P ????????
Singing, acting, playing the comedian at times (eg, CCC annual dinner earlier in the year).
Your shower singing is superb! And you are a great writer.

WOULD YOU CALL ME PREPPY, AVERAGE, SPORTY, PUNK, HIPPIE, GLAM, NERDY, SNOBBY OR SOMETHING ELSE (WHAT)?
Wonderful!
Spinster librarian!! (NEVER!) Nah, budding talent. Quietly confident.
I dunno. Fun?
Cheeky - different, in a good way you are even sometimes weird. I hope you see that as a compliment. Cause who wants to be average!
I don't like classing people or putting them in boxes. You defintely don't fit into any box - but that's a good thing.

AM I HOT? AM I NOT? GO AHEAD YOU CAN SAY...
You are hot to me :)
Hot
So hot right now
You're a brilliant friend. As for hot...ask the men.
I couldn't exactly say no could I? You are a beautiful woman of God.
Like anyone was going to say anyone else was NOT hot, even if they weren't. Anyway, hot is a matter of opinion.

WHAT IS MY FAVOURITE FOOD?
Hmmm... fussy Sedface yess!!!! not sure...maybe Italian food?
Chocolate!!!! or big boys (in joke - don't ask!) (hot dogs)
Non Asian!!!
Chocolate
Chocolate and Italian.

Yep all right here.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY OF ME?
When we were swimming down at the beach in our knickers :) hahaha Yes Chrisface, sooo much fun :D
CCC Review Night
I got lots. Probably one from theatre hehe :)
There are so many. Umm, One of my fondest memories of you is when I talked to you about my relationship with Christ and my poetry at MYC. You were so open, and happily shared your experiences. It was great.
Doing drama with you at school, was always good fun and loads of laughs.

WHAT IS MY WORST HABIT?
Ummm... not sure... maybe singing weird songs to Emma :) hehe Poor Emma.
Not sure
You're too organised. Makes me feel inadequate haha
Worrying too much. But I suffer the same habit too!
Watching too much TV! C'mon everyone needs their daily fill of soap.

IF YOU AND I WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT'S THE ONE THING I WOULD BRING?
I know one thing you wouldn't bring! Sam the snail! hahah... nah um..you would bring lots of food to feed Christina yesss!!!!
ipod - except I don't have one.
Water cos you always have it with you.
Chocolate or music
Chocolate?
Probably water, but I'd like to bring all of these things.

ARE WE FRIENDS?
Of course! From the day we first met!
Yes
No way!!!!!!!!! Shut up Mands ;)
Yes
Yes we are.

DO I BELIEVE IN GOD?
Yes
Yes
Surely
Definately
Yes, you do.
I'd be a bit concerned if somebody said no.

AM I FAMILY ORIENTED?
Yes....when everyone is getting on anyway.
Yes
Umm, not overly.
No you don't have your own family, but yes you can be very family oriented.
Yes, even though there can be struggles.
Answers 1 and 5 (Chris and Em) are the most accurate here.

WHO IS MY BEST FRIEND?
Emma
Emma (who you live with)
Christina, Emma, Fizz, Rhiannon x Fizz and Rhianon are the same person. I think she meant Rianna.
God!
I don't think you have just one, instead you have a bunch of close friends.
Answer 5. You are correct Em. Although Sarah's answer (no. 4) is also right.

WHAT KIND OF CAR DO I DRIVE?
A silver one :) Half marks for Chrisface
Holden Barina x
Bertha! x
Roberta the car. Sorry can't remember the make - model. Half marks for Sare.
Your 2004 Hyundai Accent called Roberta. Yep this is right!!!

Send the blank questionnaire to your friends. I know this stuff isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's a great way of fishing for compliments ;)
