same_differenceSo here are the answers to that question asking meme, as I've finally got around to writing them out:
1) Easy one to start: How many siblings do I have?
Two (brother and sister).
The sister is about seven and a half years older than me, the brother is just under two years younger. The brother is an aspiring writer/director/screenwrite/playwrite, and is studying through his last year of his Cybernetics-something degree, and trying to get a publisher for his novel. The sister is currently attempting to do a PhD while running a clinical trial. Various ones of you have met one or the other of them at some point.
My sister is responsible in one way or another for a lot of my interests.
My brother is responsible for whatever I've blamed him for.
2) Which pets have my family had while I've lived at home?
All of the above (Cat, Wild Rabbit, Freshwater muscle).
There were two cats originally, but one vanished before I was born. The cat I knew was named Dougal (the other Florence) and was an absolute farm cat. My memories of him consists of his general intolerance of being stroked for any length of time (especially when my brother attempted to), his ability to almost always have caught and be eating a cricket when I saw him, and his decent into senility when he forgot who we were.
The Wild Rabbit named Benjamin was rescued by my mum from Dougal, and thankfully survived the shock of having been caught. We kept it for about two or three months in a hutch + run my dad built. In that time it escaped twice once to eat the neighbours dandelions and once to return to the wild. We never saw Ben again, though the odds of his descendants being among the rabbits that come into the garden occasionally isn't small. The memory of my sister coming back inside after he'd escaped the second time, as she discovered as she'd gone to feed it some old grapes is a really vivid one. I think it was one of the first times I saw her really upset.
The Freshwater Muscle, eventually named Arnie by a cousin of mine, was caught by my Dad, or caught my Dad. Regardless it ended up attached to his fishing line at Chew Valley lake (or very possibly the fishing line of one of his fishing friends while he was there). My first memory of Arnie was seeing this large muscle (good 3 inches across) in a saucepan of water in our utility surrounded by a few oat flakes. My dad at the time was keeping it alive, and fed (I still don't get the muscles being fed oats things), with the intent of cooking it. Of course it never got eaten and was soon relocated to the aforementioned cousin's fish tank, where it proceeded to keep the water impressively clean until it passed away.
3) Which author penned the first books with which began my interest in reading?
John Wyndham
John Wyndham was the first author I believe who got me properly reading (though it would be my sister purchasing Interesting Times as my first Discworld Book that got me reading voraciously). The first novel of his I read was The Day of the Triffids. From then on I've read about and half is novels and own all but one of those I've read. He work is at least I think good sci-fi even if it is has definitely dated in many cases. I still think Webb has some of the most ingeniously unpleasant spiders I've encountered in a story. I do intend to collect the rest of his novels at some point, and will lend the books to anyone who is curious.
The last option the children author whose names I forget I believe I met as part of a primary school trip, and while it was the first book I read to myself for it's own enjoyment I think, it didn't mark the turning point when I started reading as a hobby. I believe the book was called Dragon Rise by Kathryn Cave apparently.
It is my current opinion that I am woefully under read, and I'm happy to be lent or recommended interesting books and series.
4) How many major operations have I had?
2
This question I expected no one to get, because as far as I thought I don't talk about them at all. It turns out I was correct.
The first one I consider to be major because I was 6 weeks old when it was done. I thankfully remember nothing of it (unsurprisingly).
For the second I was three and a half, and I consider to be major, but to be honest it probably isn't. I do remember what it was like before when I was suffering from what made the operation necessary and the after while I recovered. I also remember waking up after the operation when the anaesthetic wore off. And pain, lots of pain. The memory of that kind of pain is very strange, it's almost like a certainty rather than a sensation.
5) Which of the following am I still afraid of?
Heights
It has been a long time since I was afraid of the dark as a child, infact I prefer pitch black now to sleep in if possible.
I have conquered my fear of dogs though I still don't like them or see the appeal to them as pets.
My fear of enclosed spaces was never particularly strong, but nowadays I barely remember it was even a problem.
Heights though still terrify me to the core, even see on T.V.. Also heights is subjective, a wobbly ladder is as bad as a great height, and do not even mention spiral staircases. Though from people I've talked to wobbly ladders and spiral staircases come as standard with a fear of heights.
6) My Surname traced back far enough is:
Spanish with a dash of French
As traced by someone who was a friend of the family several years ago; the name Cesare can be traced back to 1150 in Spain, the De was a French addition in the 12th century. I do believe I have some Italian blood in me, but it is on my mum's side and several generations back.
Of course everyone assumes it is Italian and there are Italian De Cesare's out there.
7) Where was my father born?
Egypt
My Dad was born as a British citizen in Cairo while it was still part of the Empire (or whatever it was known as post World War 2). He came over to this country with his parents and his brothers as a refugee at the age of 4, because of the Sulis War. The true history of which from the political actions of England, France, Israel and Egypt has come out recently and is quite interesting. He has incredibly vivid memories of his time there from only a couple of months old.
8) What's my favourite food?
Fresh Bread
I don't do favourites I have a tendency to judge things on their individual merits rather than saying one things is absolutely preferred to another. However seeing as really good fresh bread is the one thing I can simply not resist eating, regardless of now full I might be, and the quantities I will eat given the chance I think it's fair to say it is my favourite food.
Just don't mention sliced bread; what an absolute waste of existence.
9) How many death thresholds have my TL characters lost in total?
0
Yes 0, why well: Aurinyan runs; Cumberland is a freedom priest in armour; Lucien has been only played twice, as has Linte. Only Blaine has frequently (and repeatedly) gotten very close, he however was always rescued in time, even when being dragged almost bleeding out to a healer by a nearly unconscious Keel.
No that isn't a challenge to kill one of my characters either.
10)Which of these is not true:
The drums is the first instrument I'm learning to play.
Actually the first instrument I learnt to played, well attempted to learn was the keyboard. However I didn't practise enough and didn't really enjoy how it was taught. 1) Learn to play melody of song with right hand, 2) Relearn to play melody while playing the correct chords with your left hand, 3) Relearn song again this time to a pre-set rhythm. Practising songs can be dull, doing it three times per song is duller.
Of the others they make good stories so I'll save them for in person, well sort of. In summary:
I did spend 21 hours on a ferry to Ireland because of a storm above our intended port, after a brief crash into a harbour wall, and then a much much longer wait to see if the storm would leave, followed by the captain taking the not minor diversion to Dublin from Rosslare.
I have walked up a mountain on the same Ireland trip. It's what I would consider to be notionally a mountain as it is slightly above the required height from sea level. It also has the distinct feature that it alternates between bog and fields with big rocks in bands up the sides.
I did used to cycle a lot. When I worked in Bath as a teenager I used to cycle in along the canal (about 7 miles distance). This ended when some idiot decided to cycle into me, leaving me with a damage bike, a bloody, sore, swollen but likely not broken hand, and several miles of gravely uneven path to cycle on my way home. I've never got back into cycling since. I think in the end because I started driving.
11) What was my first paid job:
Working in Barrets (shoe shop)
It was my first job and I worked for 6 months when I was 16 from the end of my GCSE's till part way into my A-levels. I was paid the glorious sum of £2 an hour. I still remember most of the horrible parts, which really was all if it except when I was allowed to work in the men's section.
The job inspired me to do 2 things: never work in retail (or something quite so customer fronted) regardless of the alternatives; avoid shoe shopping like the horror it really is.
12) I first fenced when I was:
14
I did it in secondary school because well it's sword fighting (hey one of the reasons I started larping) unsurprisingly I wasn't particularly good, OK but not great. I then did it again for a little while during the first semester when I went to Uni.
I believe I hold grades 1 and 3 in foil. I never found out why we skipped grade 2.
13) Which of the following ways have I not seen my first name spelt:
Deminic
In all fairness this is a mean question, but I do rant about it a lot. I even use 'Demoanic' as my preferred example of how bad it can get. Mostly the first 'i' is substituted for other vowels, less frequently the second 'i', and much more rarely the 'o'. With the 'i''s it's normally any vowel but u, with the o it's typically 'a', the 'e' in the mentioned actual example is an oddity, much like the spelling. However no bad spelling ever gets the existence of two i's.
I expect my last name to be spelt and pronounced incorrectly 90% of the time. My first name can't be that hard can it?
Incidentally, would 'Duminic' being a fairer wrong answer?
14) I can:
Raise my right eyebrow by itself, but not my left
I do it a lot, in fact I generally use it as part of a variety of facial expressions, some involving managed timing of the eye brow raise. To those that complained it's entirely unfair of me to expect you to note which eyebrow; fair enough. To those that guessed one of the other options, I just don't get why at all.
15) I consider myself at best a Non Denominational Christian (The absolute core message is good, most of the rest not so much) but which is untrue:
I still go to mass at Christmas and Easter
Basically I find the rituals mostly meaningless and get in the way. I also would consider it hypocritical of myself to go to a mass when I don't consider myself to be of that denomination. I was confirmed, because that happened (just) before I started my R.E. GCSE which showed me all the things I disagree with the Catholic Church about. For the same reason I do use the Lords Prayer when I feel I am making a serious request. I make sure I mean it all though, because I find rote repetition a little offensive. Why say the words if you don't pay attention to what they mean? I don't talk about my faith much, because my opinions are quite wishy-washy. I believe in something because I do, it has helped me when I needed it to, and it doesn't hurt others. So really what else matters? I call myself Christian because that's the face of it I'm used to, I've never prayed to anyone other than God though.
My car did used to belong to a priest. This is because my Dad was helping him get a new one, and a Ford Fiesta can work just as well in a trade in as a Rover 45.
16) Which of the following foods do I like:
Pickled Cabbage
Which was a surprise to me as I hate cabbage. I hate potatoes intensely have done ever since I was a small child, the taste, texture and smell of them ruins my appetite. The smell of brussel sprouts still makes me nauseous. Cauliflower is at the most bitter end of that bitter spectrum in which most vegetables lie.
I taste that bitter chemical that plants make to not be eaten, so I don't enjoy eating them. I don't care what anyone says: sugar snaps and mange tout are bitter little evil things.
17) Out of the following in what ways haven't I been conditioned:
To wash my hands whenever I eat.
The painkilling and whistle reaction condition I've LJed about. I'm quite like the former it's handy, and despite threats no one has used the latter to toy with my poor preprogrammed mind.
The phone one was a bit of a red herring. Technically it's my parents house phone I do it on now, but it did take me a while to stop myself doing when answering any phone.
The hands thing though isn't conditioned, I'm just vaguely obsessive about being clean.
18) I regularly take medicines for:
Hyper acidity
I suffer from it a lot if stressed or ill. Or occasionally just randomly. Or if I bounce up and down a lot; no DDR for me.
Otherwise I avoid taking medicine where possible. I made a conscious decision as a teenager to build up my resistance to pain, and swore off pills generally after seeing what my Dad used to take for his migraines. So other than the useful soft object to hurt area effect I don't normally do anything if I have a headache or have just clobbered my hand/feet/head on an object due to clumsiness.
The dry skin thing is something I could have suffered from because there is a genetic history of it in my family, but thankfully I don't.
19) Which of the following is untrue:
As a small child I used to hate carpets.
In fact we only had floor boards for a while when I was toddler. So that when my parents got carpet samples they pretty much lost them to me, as I pretty much lay on them and hugged them as much as possible. My reactions to actual carpet was pretty much the same, I certainly did so enough I have memories of hugging carpet. I like soft things.
Otherwise the rest are true, there are photos of me with golden blonde hair as a child, I did make my parents worry by being very quiet and I used to fall over into glass doors a lot. Almost as if my brain reaction was 'oh a large solid potentially breakable and sharp thing, quick launch my head at it'. My parents used to worry about taking me to appointments because of the lumps on my forehead. I do remember falling into glass doors, so any damage couldn't have been that bad. I also have a really hard head. I feel really sorry if you accidentally bump heads with me; it's going to hurt you a lot more than me.
20) Thing is...
All of the above
I use it when I can't think of a word any word, regardless of how many cues to remind myself of it there are around me. This is mostly the case with regard to nouns, but if I'm talking in full flow (making up still for my quiet childhood) any word that fails to make it to my mouth before it forms the sound becomes 'thing'. That is the essence of Dom-ish as it continues it's slow progress to worlddomination thing.
Now seeing as people don't remember that much about me, or just don't know it another meme:
Ask me a question. Just one. You'll get an honest reply.
[Although I may cut details if I feel it would betray someone else's trust or just don't want it on a publicly viewable LJ. Of course I may email the full version it appropriate.]

And to poke more wholes as I like to with this kind of question, which Bond? Or do you mean Bond irrespective of the actor or script writer/director of the time.
