We now have so many writers it's hard to keep track, so we've asked all
our editors, contributors and bloggers to fill out a survey of random

Last 3 gigs you went to: Peeping Tom (Mike Patton's new band), The Cure, Gang of Four
Last 3 books you bought:
Cannot remember the last time I bought a book (I'm cheap and borrow
them from the library) so the last three I read would be 'Catch 22' by
Joseph Heller, 'The Dice Man' by Luke Rhinehart, and a graphic novel,
'Black Hole' by Charles Burns.
Last 3 albums you bought: Well, I don't buy CDs, I download 'em! It would be Morrissey's 'Ringleader of the Tormentors', Peeping Tom's self-titled, and the reissue of The Glove's 'Blue Sunshine'.
Last 3 DVDs you bought: Again, don't buy them, I download them, it would be 'Dark Water' (a Japanese thriller), 'Princess Mononoke (a Japanese Studio Ghibli creation), and series one of 'Six Feet Under'
In the film of your life you'd be played by: Well prior to Angelina Jolie becoming a husband-snatcher, I would've said her. But now, my answer would be Maggie Gyllenhaal.
What song would you pick for the soundtrack to your life: 'Wake me up before you go-go' haha. No seriously, it would be 'Train in Vain' by the Clash, which has been my favourite song since I was 16. That, or 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now', by The Smiths, a hilariously ironic ditty.
Which female AND male 'sleb would you do the dirty with: Mike Patton (of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, and Peeping Tom fame), and Dita Von Teese, I think she's gorgeous, and could easily turn lesbian for her. Ooh and definitely Adrien Brody, he is fabulous, I have the hots for his nose.
Favourite beach: This secluded little beach in Crete (a Greek island), near Rethymno.
What have you got in your pocket: an Oyster card, an MP3 player, and about £17 in cash.
What colour toothbrush do you have: Hot pink
What song would you want played at your funeral: 'The Airconditioned Nightmare' by Mr. Bungle. It's insane milk-bar music courtesy of Mike Patton.
Tell us one secret about you that people wouldn't expect: I'm a natural blonde, eek!
If you were a car, what would you be: a black, glossy mofo of a valiant usually driven by old Italian grannies and the mafia.
What is your favourite item of clothing: A checked black, brown and white pleated skirt that I picked up for under a dollar in a second-hand shop. It obviously belonged to an old granny in the 80s, but I love it dearly.
What colour pants do you wear (Stolen from Smash Hits circa 1991): Underwear, hmm, hot pink!
What was your first alcohol experience like (stolen from Pop Bitch): I can't quite remember, I would've been about 12, but the first time I got excessively drunk was at a party when I was 15, I was just sipping from various randoms' drinks and got very sozzled, I snogged 3 random older boys, tried to sing along to Run DMC, danced excessively, smoked my first cigarette, then, of course, vomited, embarassed myself in front of my friend's uptight parents, and passed out. Best Night EVAH!!1!!11!!
If you were a videogame character who would you be: Kaede Smith in Killer 7. Of course, she is just one of many multiple personalities owned by a 60 year old crippled man. So, my final answer would be Yoshi!
