1/ What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour ? (ie: no other living things present)
I'm gonna say this before anyone else gets a chance to... I'd jerk off... Wait. that would only take up 5 minutes. I would spend the next 30 minutes running around screaming/singing/yelling at the top of my lungs. Then I would spend the rest of the time sitting quietly under some form of shade.

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object ?
3 words - Strippers, Vegas, PianoBar ...oh, and I'd jerk off

3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself ?
I think we've covered this haven't we? I enjoy playing with myself immensely.

4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you ?

I think I spend way more time in bed than most people would suspect. Especially this past week... as a matter of fact the only two things I did this week were work and sleep. (and jerk off)

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have ? (ie: same food each Wednesday evening, attending gym classes, roasting your own coffee, etc).

Once upon a time I had routines like cappuccini all the time, or the same food for breakfast, etc... Now I try to avoid anything of the sort. I might do the same thing for a few days at a time, but then I feel a deep inner need to switch it up. Oh, and first thing in the morning I have a tendency to ____ ___.

1/ What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour ? (ie: no other living things present)

I would say if there is really nothing living in the world, there would be some peace at last. Enjoy the peace. Take a nap maybe.

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object ?

Move. Get myself a new apartment, or a condo. (is this what you mean?)

3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself ?

Reading.

4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you ?

I listen to and appreciate classical music. I think that would surprise people who know me. Nobody around me really knows me all that well. People think I just like the loud music genre.

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have ? (ie: same food each Wednesday evening, attending gym classes, roasting your own coffee, etc).

Coffee every morning. The first thing I turn on after the lights in the morning, is the computer.
Beer, strong brew, 500 ml can, one, every Friday night.
A nap on Saturday afternoon.

Jump into a fighter plane of some sort and live out some of my Top Gun fantasies.

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object ?

Book myself a round the world ticket, buy a decent wetsuit, buy some ski gear, a type writer that requires no electricity and visit every skiable mountain and surfable beach in the world and have a flat white and read a book in every major city. i.e. I would live out of hotels and a suitcase and do whatever I felt like.

3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself ?

Jump in the ocean, put my head under, and mute the world out.

4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you ?

In the spirit of Imajinit - not jerk off. I know its not exactly what was asked, but people always assume that I jerk off, like, every other second. I DON'T...and no, I'm not getting defensive.

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have ? (ie: same food each Wednesday evening, attending gym classes, roasting your own coffee, etc).

My indulgence is going out every month or so and getting absolutely blasted.

1) Probably sit around and do absolutely nothing. There's never enough time to be lazy in my life.
2) Start bribing governments to lay the groundwork so that I can TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
3) Go for a drive and sing in the car. It's the fifth best release I've found.
4) Blog occasionally. As far as most of my mates know I don't even have a computer.
5) Going drinking/clubbing/whatever at least once a week, meditating in the shower for up to an hour every day (conserving water happens to other people).

1. By myself? Completely by myself? I'd freak out. I like alone time, but if there was no one at all around I don't think I'd be too happy. However, once I'd freaked out I'd get naked and run around.

2. Just travel, travel, travel.

3. Sing. And attempt to play my guitar.

4. Worry about everything constantly. And have serious self confidence issues (everyone of my friends seem to think that I have this amazing self esteem. Little do they know that I'm just a good actor. Sometimes)

5. I have virtually no routines. Habits seem to take too much maintenance. I do, however, love going to my local greasy spoon and having a £4 fry up with tea. And going drinking, but I do that more than is healthy, so perhaps it's not an indulgence but a problem?

Jesus H Christ! I just realised exactly how bad that sounded. Disregard that statement. No one is ever going to be my wingman...EVER!

Hey Vanessa, how are ya? Good questions

okay here goes;

1)What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour?
put on "Like a rolling stone" really really loud and dance down Times Square, flipping all the advertisements the bird, Then I'd deface pictures of certain political figures and pretend it wasn't me when everybody got back, even though my hands are covered in ink.

2)What would you do tomorrow if money was no object?-I'd go to Paris and I'd have breakfast in Tuileries, and buy lots of old books on the left bank, and have a torrid love affair with a gorgeous french man called..uh..jerome, who would propose to marriage to me on the pont Neuf. I'd consider this but then I'd watch Cheers and cry (a la Joey) and come back home, and be even more madly in love with this place, and do disgusting touristy things, and eat in Nobu. Then I'd move to Mexico City, and live like a queen, and come back to NY in the evening to get high in Central Park on the finest mexican brown money can buy. Oh and I'd probably do something charitable, just cuz I'm such a nice girl, the I'd buy NY's finest a few rounds in a nice bar, cuz I owe it to them.

3)What is your current favorite thing to do when you have some time to yourself?

I like to dress up, put on the Rolling Stones, particularly Exile on Main Street and dance around, or stay up late and watch movies and eat ridiculous amounts of M&Ms. Either that or sleep.

4)I cry and listen to Elliott Smith, and, perhaps more shamefully, day dream about Franz Kafka.

5)What indulgences and/or routines do you have?

I smoke, I buy expensive ground coffee(I must have coffee, even if I can barely afford food.) and french newspapers sometimes. I always meet someone for lunch, everyday. I usually go to the park every other day or so, even if it's raining and sit by myself for an hour or two, or i go to the library for a while before work. I see a movie about once a month, and I try to read something worthwhile as often as possible. Nothing like a little T.S.Eliot in the morning, yknow, with your brandy and cigar.

1/ What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour ? (ie: no other living things present)
Find the world's biggest bathtub, fill it with the hottest water I could stand, and fill the rest of the tub with bubbles. Then just read, and soak. No baby crying, no ex calling to see where I am, no one at all. Just, for once, ME.

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object ?
Get the best personal jet with the most comfort, and fly to all of the old castles in Ireland, then renovate some really cool Victorian homes.

3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself ?
Read, sleep, and play Sims2

4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you ?
Read old Classics, and tough literature, like Moby Dick, whilst eating oranges, on my window seat.

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have ? (ie: same food each Wednesday evening, attending gym classes, roasting your own coffee, etc).
I have a tendency to switch routines each week. This week it was...sleeping until the last possible minute, and then flying into action, and eating YoPlait Yogurt for breakfast, with Orange&Spice Tea. I really like oranges.

1/ What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour? This would depend on if I knew everyone was coming back in an hour. If I knew I'd probably go out for a walk, enjoy the quiet. Since an hour isn't enough time to get very far, I couldn't do anything overly bizarre, like say toilet paper famous buildings or make the worlds largest ice cream sundae. On the other hand, if I didn't know people were coming back I'd likely panic. Then I'd start worrying about my own survival and taking steps to keep me around. So when the hour ran out I'd probably be in the middle of looting the grocery store

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object? Hire the best lawyer money could buy (as a precautionary measure). Get a nice chair, cell phone, binoculars and sit outside the woman I love's workplace. Have her showered with presents until she came over and yelled at me (or time ran out, whichever comes first).
3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself? Walk, usually in circles.
4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you? Almost everything I do would surprise the people that know me in real life, but I think the biggest would be that I watch porn movies from time to time. As for people that know me online, hmm, well that's probably a surprise to them too

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have? I try to stick to the routine of showering every other day, shaving every day, and getting to sleep before midnight, but well, it's all too easy to slip out of those routines. As for indulgences, I like to eat instand drink mix (lemonade, iced tea, hot chocolate, etc). Not drink, eat. Not something I do terrible often, since I'm sure it's bad for me, but it is fun

That is a definite surprise Danny, I never would have imagined you the type! You don't seem like it...

1/ What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour ? (ie: no other living things present) Quickly go through specific people's houses just to see what they are really like when not at home.

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object ? Stay in the fanciest hotel money could buy, relax with my friends and family, spending money gluttonously/frivolously. Spend a portion of my time making sure that the money I have goes to certain places and people (a variety of people; not necessarily only family and friends), so that they could have just as much fun, too. [special windfalls for registered JoeUsers! hehehe]

3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself ? write.

4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you ? Try on outfits that I would never wear. (I am usually given clothing as gifts that are so not me. But I keep em anyway.).

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have ? (ie: same food each Wednesday evening, attending gym classes, roasting your own coffee, etc). Purchasing expensive magazines, binge drinking once a month or so, eating a bowl of tangerine peices with whipped cream on top occasionally, going to eat in restaraunts when I am too lazy to cook. Playfighting with my daughter just before bedtime/naptime.

1/ What would you do if you were completely alone in the world for an hour ? (ie: no other living things present)

I would go to the beach and read a book and build a sandcastle and play in the water. All by myself.

2/ What would you do tomorrow if money was no object ?

I'd fly into Tashkent and pay a goat farmer to take me to my husband, and I'd surprise him at work.

3/ What is your current favourite thing to do when you have some time to yourself ?

I really like to take naps on my porch swing. Don't get to do that very much, though. It doesn't take long for the kids to come and push it so hard that I get dumped out!

4/ What do you do in private that would surprise those that know you ?

I don't know if there's anything. I'm pretty open with the people that know me. I think maybe they might be surprised to find me on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor with a scrub pad and Fabuloso in a spray bottle.

5/ What indulgences and/or routines do you have ? (ie: same food each Wednesday evening, attending gym classes, roasting your own coffee, etc).

The kids and I usually watch a movie Friday nights.
I buy groceries once a week on the same day, though I adjust it sometimes. Currently it's Fridays . . . today!
I almost always have a yogurt granola bar and diet vanilla Pepsi for breakfast, frozen, homemade, or delivery pizza Friday nights, grilled veggie burger on Saturdays, and sushi one Sunday a month.

I'm boring!

1/ World to myself? I'd poke around in whatever normally off-limits places I could get to. Ideally I'd be someplace interesting at the time, like Vegas or the Pentagon or the White House....
2/ freebie fantasy? I'd probably fly my family to Fiji or some other nifty tropical getaway.
3/ Favorite solo activity? Reading and doing crossword puzzles.
4/ Private surprise? If I could think of anything, I probably wouldn't tell you anyway.

5/ indulgences/routines? Pretty basic morning and bedtime routines. I probably indulge in restaurant food way too often. And I have a hard time rationing chocolate.
