tagged by: beyourownboyfriend name: Nick time and date: 23.03.2015, 8:43 pm average hours of sleep a night: it's nice to think about writing "eight" and then wandering off in to my paradise of utterly functional living and perfectly contented existence... It's more like 6-7 though. last thing i googled: "oscar martin how to dress well oh hello" because I was trying to figure out if a gig I recalled was actually one show or two separate ones. nickname: look - Smethy, Smetho, Mick, Smoothhorse, Nicko to my Dad only. birthday: 19.04 gender: Male sexual orientation: sickeningly straight. Kinsey would scoff, yet here we are. I'm the weird hetero outlier. height: 5ft 11" and 11/12. I only don't feel tall around Nathan or Simon, though. favourite colour: it's black but hey, i'm still a fun guy, have smiled before/may smile again. one place that makes me happy: is it a place or the idea of a place that brings you happiness, do you think? I mean, I get superficial happiness from anywhere with reasonable guitars, but then on some grander scale of happiness, I think about when I used to walk for hours every night. 10kms or more, around and around the inner north, down along the riverwalk and then back to Clayfield on the Citycat. I got a lot of reflective peace on the bow of those boats, hey. I think I went looking for a complex answer there though. Really I just like wherever I can have a coffee with Kate. how many blankets do i sleep under: at least a sheet, god, how do people sleep uncovered? It seems so unwholesome. Then a blanket as required. favourite movie: This is harder than it should be. I think i'm in a weird place with cinema, and should probably try to remember the joy in it, rather than picking everything to pieces. Just imagine some art wanker dross and that's probably my answer. what i’m wearing right now: it's the Nick Uniform - brown pants (AS Colour), black American Apparel shirt, that one libertine belt I bought in 2010 and which has ruined all other belts. I'm wearing my Insulin Pump too but that's never not there. last book you read: I've been on a huge post-apocalyptic bent lately, so I read a PDF rendering of The Running Man, and found it more compelling than expected. I guess people love schlock-lit for a reason. most used words/phrases: "classic", "I reckon". first word that comes to mind: quorum what i last said to a family member: I told my Dad that we'd speak later, because he called to ask about me getting heckled by Mark Kozelek on Saturday, but I was getting in a car at the time. Actually, i've been interacting with my Uncle all day on Facebook, but I guess I don't think of anyone outside of my Folks and Sister as real family. How about that. favourite beverage: Pourover coffee. favourite food: this BBQ kick has to end eventually, right? Well, it hasn't for me, and i'm staying on this train til it derails. last movie i watched in theaters: I don't really go to the cinema any more - not at Melbourne prices. I had a voucher which I got for Christmas, and which I used to see the third Hobbit film at Toombul, down the road from my Parents' place at Christmas. It was okay. dream vacation: It would probably involve trains. dream wedding: small, comfortable, casual. dream pet: A small dog and a bigger dog, both rescues, who are mates. I've got breed preferences (shih-tzu/maltese poodle cross + staffy respectively) but it'd be about who needed a home, more than anything. dream job: I could wank-prattle out an answer, but it's definitely making a living as a guitarist, let's not kid ourselves. Wouldn't really matter who for. Solid touring, studio stuff, writing, that whole lot is my ideal. Failing that, working to sell and recommend guitars would be great too. Apparently I have to tag people. intrazone, andwhenithappens, kate-woodhouse, nothingeverlasting withabang i'd read what you all have to say.
