Whoever says Spooks is not as good as 24 is wrong. The proof? Tonight's episode. Now that's an exciting 24 hours.

Can't believe I've decided 11.30pm is a good time to do this but still. :

1. Can you think of one single decision you made that changed the course of your life. A decision where if you had done something else, everything would be different now?

Not off the top of my head, no. There are some different decisions I might have made, but they'd only be small ones, frankly.

2. Or maybe you think "the fates" have it all planned out for us. Do you think every life has a pre-determined course, that we will wind up at point X regardless of the decisions we make?

I totally don't believe in fate. There is no higher being, there is no grand purpose, there is no reward at the end. This life is all we have and it's ours to live.

3. Do you think that it is that left up to us and random chance to decide who we are with? Are we are guided to the person we were meant to be with or could you be with the wrong person while "the one" is still somewhere out there?

When I was little I remember worrying what would happen if you never met 'the one' person you were supposed to be with. Mind you, I also thought that when you grew up you got married and had kids because that's what everyone did.

4. Do you like to drink and get drunk? When was the last time you were drunk or hung over? What was the occasion? How did it feel at the time? How did it feel the next day?

I like to drink but not to get drunk. It tends to take a rather precise amount of alcohol over a period of time that's quite difficult to achieve. Going straight from sober to asleep isn't nearly as interesting. I prefer being merry, really, that way I do at least still have some self-control. The last time I was drunk was my 20th birthday. That was also the last time I was hungover. It felt crap, and that's an answer to both questions.

5. On the same topic, have you ever done anything you regret while "under the influence?" What happened? Do you remember it or did you have to be told?

Not really. And I remember everything.

6. Were you/are you able to resist peer pressure in school/college? How? If not, what did you do that you wish you hadn't?

Pretty much, yes. For a while I wanted to be like everyone else, but that phase soon passed.

7. What things are better left unsaid?

Er, lots, but nothing I can categorise.

BONUS: Isn't this world a crazy place?

Well, d'uh!

Today's Comment Question: What can make you smile on a grumpy day?

An e-mail from someone I haven't heard of for a while or a nice comment someone makes.

I am not going to watch The West Wing purely because I'm awake when it has started. I'm not. I am going to bed and save it for later in the week.
