Okay fine. Nobody will read this. :P

1. What is your name?
Edmund.

2. Have you ever been kissed?
If you went through 2 significant, deep relationships and wasn't kissed, that'd be pretty weird. Or would mean that you didn't have a mouth. (Yes.)

3. What is your favorite movie?
Several that I really like, but no favourites. 3 of my most liked movies include: 28 Days Later, Children of Men, Scott Pilgrim vs The World...

4. What is your ringtone?
Old phone. Mundane, ordinary ringtone.

5. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Yes, 1 sister.

6. What is on your mousemat?
No mousemat. People still use those?

7. What is your favourite colour pen to write with?
Black. Or blue.

8. What shampoo do you use?
TRESemmé.

9. What is your favourite colour?
None. Everything I own is black. LIKE MY HEART. >: ( *emo* j/k.

10. How many children do you want?
The population size of the human race is one thing I'm very concerned about, it'd be hypocritical to want to contribute further... I'd rather adopt instead. I'm not so sure I'd want my own kid. But I'm not ruling it out entirely.

11. Do you collect anything?
Dust and cobwebs. :P (No.)

12. What is your favourite word?
Meh, if I have to think this long about it then I probably don't have a favourite.

13. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Lust, yes. Love? No. Love is something you earn. It doesn't just happen.

14. What is your idea of a perfect date?
Take me out on a long road trip, experience some beautiful countryside together. Camp and make love under the stars.

Well, it beats just going out for dinner and a chat.

15. What is your favourite book?
Currently digging Iain M. Bank's stuff. Oh and Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson was pretty good. Tuff Voyaging and the Song of Ice and Fire series from George R.R. Martin were both good too.

16. Who is your favourite actor or actress?
Some people I recognise as good actors, but no favourites. (boring)

17. What is the best feeling in the world?
The feeling of being relaxed, surrounded by people you love, and not having to worry about much. Shame that's impossible.

18. Do you take hot or cold showers?
Warm.

19. If you could meet anyone, who would it be?
Someone of the opposite gender who'll provide me with a bit of company, who I'd like, actually likes me in return, and who isn't crazy in the bad way, if you know what I mean. (boring)

20. What is your favourite band or singer?
Music tastes vary far too much. (boring)

21. What are you listening to right now?
Prodigy - Fat of the Land - Mindfields.

22. Do you believe in a God?
Not in any God dreamed up by any of our religions. If there is, it's got no gender and isn't anything we've imagined... Closest thing to a "God" that actually can be proven to exist is the universe itself, but it isn't exactly something I'd worship as much as I'd worship Earth itself or any other part of it. Also I believe there's a lot of things beyond our understanding and knowledge. And I'm fine with that. Why we're here and our purpose isn't important to me - But I believe we should do what makes us happy while sustaining ourselves without harming others.

Wow, that was a long one.

23. When is your birthday?
14th May.

24. How tall are you?
5' 6".

25. What is your favourite television show?
Several I like (again): South Park, (old) Simpsons, several of the classic British sitcoms...

26. Have you ever had sex?
Many times.

27. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Somewhere comfortable, maybe one of the Scandinavian countries up north if living in Britain becomes untenable.

28. Do you have braces?
No.

29. Do you like roller coasters?
They're fun.

30. What is your favourite season?
Summer.

31. What is your favourite time of day?
Evening/early night.

32. What household chore do you most despise?
It's all gotta be done. Despising household work would be silly.

33. What is your favourite cartoon?
South Park I guess?

34. What is on your bedroom walls?
Cobwebs. And white paint.

35. What's your favourite ice cream flavor?
Chocolate.

36. If you had a time machine, where would you go?
Various important times in the past if I could come back to the present any time I wanted.

37. What do you want to be when you're older?
Think it was Havoc or Wil who said "Alive" when talking about this earlier with them... I think I agree. :P Alive, and not in any significant discomfort. I can tell this questionnaire was written for and by teenagers.

38. What colour are your eyes?
Grey-blue.

39. Who is the person you talk to the most on the the phone?
I only speak to my best friend and call nobody else except for my sister occasionally. Yay for living a sheltered life.

40. If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be?
I dyed my hair black to please a friend while we were partners... Plus we both thought I looked good with that, back when I cared about such things.

41. Do you have any nicknames?
"Dark" 'cause of my silly handle that I've chosen to retain after over a decade... Mostly "Ed" is used outside the 'net.

42. What does your dream guy/girl look like?
I like the curvy, voluptuous type of woman. Preferably with a nice face and not like they've been smacked with a frying pan - But whatever, physical appearance is only a proportion of it for me. Personality is significantly more important.

43. Are you good in maths?
I get by.

44. Do you have freckles?
Yes.

45. Who are your best friends?
Some dude with the handle "Mactus" who nobody reading this knows.

46. What is your favourite kind of flower?
Native bluebells. It pleases me to watch these things blanket the nearby woods in Spring.

47. What is your favourite shop?
Sainsbury's, Co-Operative (Food)
Wilkinsons, Argos, Screwfix, Amazon, e-bay (Stuff)
Aria.co.uk (Computer parts)
Steam (Games)

48. What is the most daring thing you've ever done?
I do pretty "daring" things each time I go cycling on the roads these days... Or each time I climb up onto roofs to fix things. But probably the most daring thing I've ever done was crawl across a narrow ridge while up a mountain in Wales when I was a kid. Or when I set fire to that gas cannister and ran away before it exploded (also when I was a kid). Or that episode last month where I stopped my sister being crushed by a runaway caravan and I nearly shat myself.

49. Is there anyone who you really hate?
I did, but they're dead now. A greedy landowner who used to own the woods next to us, and tried (and failed) to steal land off my mum, a poor woman bordering on elderly. The court case was stressful for her. I never wish death on anyone but I'm glad this particular guy is gone and won't trouble my family again.

50. Do you and your parents fight a lot?
Me and my mum don't agree much on how to do things unfortunately. But we get on otherwise.

51. What is your favourite sweet? (or candy for the yanks)
Chocolate! CHOCOLATE! CHOOOOCOLAAAATEE!!!! (/5 year old meme)

52. What is your favorite kind of music?
Various... I've never been able to answer questions like this. (boring)

53. What was the last movie you saw in the cinema?
Avatar, 2 years ago.

54. Are you getting sick of these questions yet?
Yeah sorta.

55. Have you ever been to the ocean?
Crossed the English Channel a few times... Been to the Baltic Sea.

56. Do you have any body piercings?
No.

57. What is your favourite restaurant?
Henry Higgin's Fish n' Chip shop.

58. What web browser do you use?
Chrome.

59. What are you scared of?
Being paralysed and helpless... Or entirely alone and losing everyone and everything I hold dear. Either that or immediate threats to personal safety when they occur. (boring)

60. Who do you like talking to the most on the internet?
Anyone who'll listen. Mainly the poor bastards here on this forum who put up with my presence and let me play games alongside them. Thanks guys! :P

61. What schools do/did you go to?
A primary school here, and a secondary school up north somewhere near my late auntie's for half a year... Then I was home educated and went to college. And after, studied a level 1 Open University course.

62. Do you have any pets?
This household has 2 cats, 2 dogs, 1 goat.

63. Which is better, pie or cake?
They're both tasty.

64. Are you a good french kisser?
I can understand the emotional urge behind it but I've never liked doing it... It's a bit gross.

66. What is your favourite colour to wear?
Black.

67. What is your favourite animal?
The pets I have experience with and have partially learned the body and vocal language of - Cats, dogs, goats.

68. What is your favourite alcholic drink?
Henry Westons cider.

69. What sports do you like?
I don't really like watching sports... Taking part in sports is more appealing. I was never good at anything in particular except for basketball though.

70. What is your favourite outfit?
Jeans, T-shirt... (boring)

71. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?
No. Sometimes the cat if he asks, but he's a bit disgusting. I miss sleeping next to a significant other though, that was nice when I had it. But oh well, maybe I get that back one day.

72. What is your favourite card game?
Uno is fun with a group. I prefer board games.

73. Do you ****ing swear?
Yeah but I can chose not to if in situations where it's not appropriate unless I get caught off-guard.

74. Have you ever had surgery?
Yeah, thyroids removed.

75. What is your favourite beverage?
Non-alcoholic? Tea.

76. Do you want to get married?
Marriage is pretty arbitrary and meaningless... I do want to find someone to be with but I don't need a bit of paper and a ring to know that I love a person and want to faithfully stay only with them.

77. What is your most embarrassing moment?
I have a few but don't want to share them. Most recently my screw-ups during my last relationship - And I mean the ones that I can solely be accountable for.

78. What is your zodiac sign?
Taurus.

79. Where do you think is the most boring place in the world?
The last job I had where I spent one afternoon a week locked in a house with an old lady... She was crazy, rambled nonsense to me, while I cleaned and washed-up... So her house, I guess.

80. Have you ever smoked?
Yeah from a hookah.

81. What do you look for in a member of the opposite gender?
If they're friendly, understanding and open-minded, if we like similar things and are agreeable with each other - After my last experience in a relationship I now carefully watch their personality traits and mannerisms, their mental integrity, and that it isn't immediately obvious that they're crazy in a bad way. That's important. Physical traits that appeal to me are a bonus too, but not really that important.

82. What song do you wish the radio would play more often?
Don't listen to the radio. Wish more varied music would play on main stations rather than the shallow, mundane pop, autotuned or dubstep stuff that everyone mainstream seems to like.

83. Are you getting bored of these questions now?
Kinda, it's taken nearly an hour so far... Then again I'm choosing to answer them in detail and put anyone off of reading this crap.

85. Do you write letters?
Do e-mails count?

86. Who do people say you look like?
Oh, "Who", not "what". I hope I look unique but I've apparently once been compared to Anders Friden... Whoever the hell that is. Some Swedish vocalist.

87. What is your favourite month of the year?
Summer months. Don't really have one.

88. Do you prefer to communicate face-to-face, by email or by phone?
Face to face is better.

89. How many words per minute can you type?
Was measured once at 150. I don't know if that's still the case.

90. What is one thing you would change about the way you act?
I need more confidence and a sharper wit. I also hate how my wits seem to fade drastically when physically tired or under pressure, and I start missing obvious details...

91. What is one thing you would change about your looks?
Just one thing? I need to stop being lazy and tidy up my dreadlocks. Would help if someone did that for me, though.

Also how the hell do you remove persistent blackheads when steaming them twice a week and using blackhead remover from evil Johnson & Johnson doesn't bloody work? Maybe I should go see a dermatologist.

92. How long is your hair?
Nearly the middle of my back when unbound. I want it down to my rear.

93. What is the worst feeling in the world?
Grief and loss. Depression. Closely followed by extreme apathy and motivation loss. (boring)

94. Do you have allergies?
No.

95. What are some of your bad habits?
I have a few but they don't make me awkward for other people to be around. Most of the time anyway.

96. What is one of your pet peeves?
Just one? I seem to encounter this often: Car drivers who don't respect cyclists on the roads or take no notice.

97. Do you have a website?
www.youtube.com/darkhoodness

98. What kind of car do you drive?
I cycle everywhere on a commuting hybrid bicycle. If I had a car, I'd like Gordon Murray's T.25 'cause I see cars as tools, not status symbols. It'll suit nearly all my transport needs while being safe, well-built and cheap to run despite appearances (and that's considering the new manufacturing process, test results, and the research that's gone into this thing - Been keeping a close eye on this for years. Gordon Murray worked in F1 racing and built the McLaren F1. They could've made the T.25 look less ugly though).

99. How do you entertain yourself when you have nothing to do?
PC games. YouTube. (I have no life) No computer? Read a book. Go for a walk. Cycle. However if I'm not feeling lazy then I get creative and make my own entertainment. Like that Minecraft map I'm working on. Or my own furniture that I built once.

100. If you would add one question to this list, what would you add (and how would you answer it)?

Q) If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? (how original)

A) Spread some of it between friends and family first and buy all the material goods I'd ever need (which would amount to only a few hundred thousand). Then, while leaving myself some to live off of for the rest of my life, I'd sink the rest into researching ways of sustainable living and food production in a changing climate, rather than simply giving it to charity as most others would.

--------

As a bonus I'll answer other (good) custom Q 100s from 3 others:

:
What motivates you the most in life?
Keeping myself happy and doing what I need to to achieve that - Making sure those I care about are comfortable so that I don't need to worry about them is a big part of that too (I get severely chastised by my guilt when I don't). Love is also a major motivator, which is unfortunate for me 'cause relationships are hard to come by, and also hard to get right.

:
Do you think that anyone would really read your answers?
Nah. I ramble far too much.

:
Are you an organ donor and why?
Yes, for the same reasons you are. When I'm dead I'll be beyond caring what happens to my body parts - It's not as if I'm going to need them anymore. If someone else can make use of them, I can reduce the donor waiting list a bit and maybe even save someone else's life, then I'm happy with that knowledge.
