I spy with my little eye, things that start with '?'

I'm so glad summer is finally here. All gentle and calm. A little strange inside, and unsettled, but Coldplay couldn't have timed their release better, in my opinion. because 'just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost', and 'No I don't wanna battle from beginning to end; I don't wanna cycle, recycle revenge; I don't wanna follow death and all his friends' and 'tonight we're going to run, dreaming of the Osaka sun' and all the other good lines that make me smile even if they're a little sad just fit perfectly with the change.I've been a 'school sucks' girl all my life, so even though it's sad leaving all this behind...hey, it's summer, baby.
I'm free.



But onto new things. I've been collecting those random questions the Blog profile can generate, which I mentioned one post down. And ’cause I’m so terribly fond of memes I thought I’d start ANOTHER one. Only this time it’s all to do with your imagination and randomness and just a bit of fun. I’m gonna post the list of questions and ask that you answer them yourself in your own blogpost, even if it’s just one or some of them. If you don’t have a blog, post them in the reply! I’ll wait a day to see if anybody takes up the challenge and even if you don’t, I’ll be posting my already written answers in black under the questions tomorrow, so that you can only see the if you highlight the post.
I’m just smart like that. (and modest too!)
I’ll wait a day because if it were me I would give in to the temptation, read the answers straight away and then just not post my own out of laziness or scared of being influenced by them.
Right, here they are! Tee-hee.

Question: For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:
Answer: Yo auntie,
Thanks for the rooster. I know it's supposed to be a maple dispenser but it looked so lonely just sitting there, unused and crying thick dollops of syrup, so I filled it with bird food and put it in the garden to make friends. I’m not sure, but I think it was smiling the other day.
Thanks again,
You favourite niece, Marina

Question: You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.
Answer: Well, I would hypnotise the goat with the slinky by talking to it slowly whilst shifting the toy from hand to hand in that terribly addictive manner, and convince it into being a bird. When it starts flying upwards I would hook the slinky to its horn and let it pull me to safety, making sure to leave the girl from the ring well behind after kicking her repeatedly in the face.

Question: What's the most amount of sand you've ever had in your swimming trunks?

I actually went "YAY" at the 'I thought I'd start another meme' line :) But it's a hard one....

Q: What did you dream when you ate a spider while sleeping?
A: Probably that that giant multicolour bird (from a previous nightmare; followed me home, killed my dad 0_0) had me in it's horrifically vibrant nest, force feeding me dry, scratchy feathers.

Q: You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.
A: I take all the cards out of my wallet and layer them to cover one end of the slinky (possibly using the goats hair to tie it with and goat spit for adhesive), forming a slingshot. I then proceed to fire coins and stones up out of the well by putting the ammo on the cards base, stretching and releasing the slinky. Hopefully this, combined with my shouting and the goats bleating will attract enough attention to attract someone with the brains to call the fire station.

Q: Your hands have been replaced by rubber stamps. What do they say?
A: 'Epic Fail' and 'Epic Win'. I can then use them to literally stamp my approval on newspaper articles, peoples foreheads, fliers, shops, passports, letters, etc. It's be awesome :)

Lyle you freak! your last answer made me laugh out loud i swear, i couldn't believe it when i read it. The second one is just cool and the first one is scary. It's strange that a scary bird would be multicoloured though, isn't it?
And sorry freddie-_-;, i forgot about the blogpost. Putting up answers now XD

Ha, cool :) Awesomeness-inducing minds think alike :)
It is strange, I guess it's like that because at first I saw it's nest with all the difference types of feathers in it, so naturally of course the bird that lives there must have likewise.
