11. favourite lyric:
“We two boys together clinging,
One the other never leaving,
Up and down roads going, North and South excursions making,
Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching,
Arm’d and fearless, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving,
No law less than ourselves owning, sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening,
Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or sea-beach dancing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statues mocking, feebleness chasing,
Fulfilling our foray.” Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

11. favourite lyric: From Room 429 by Strapping Young Lad, a speed metal band, though this is actually part of a slower ballad. Not actually all that crazy about the song, except for one chorus that is sung differently:
The city breathes so softly
Everything is sleeping
I am at the window silently watching
I can see you standing
Alone against the winter
I can hear you asking, but the streets, they are not giving
Don’t look to the ocean
Restless in its dreaming
Don’t look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing
If living is for learning
Then dying is forgetting
Once we have forgotten then we can go on loving
12. best time of the year: All times of year are good. I suppose I like the time before and after Christmas, when everything gets really quiet and people are starting to unwind.
