A Meme

June 22nd, 2008 Posted in life

Jayne from Our Great Southern Land has tagged me for a meme, so here it goes;

What were you doing ten years ago?

Ten years ago, I was in my third year of my science degree and had just recently come out. My mother was screaming at me down the phone that she didn’t want me turning into a butch dyke and sending me flannel shirts and a toolbox for Christmas.  It was an interesting time.

What are 5 things on your to-do list today?

Grocery shopping

Laundry (am part way through this one)

Vaccuuming

Washing the dishes

Watch the latest episode of Doctor Who

If you hadn’t guessed Sunday is my day for doing stuff around the house.

What snacks do you enjoy?

Chocolate and then some more chocolate. Popcorn, especially if there is a movie to be watched. Potato chips. Basically, if it is unhealthly, I like it.

Things that you would do if you were a billionaire?

Firstly I would pay off my mortgage and then quit my job.  After doing that and some world travel, I would look at improving things here at home by funding some decent public transport and research into clean energy.  I would demolish the desalination plant and get storm water harvesting up and running.  It rains enough in Sydney that we really don’t need to use up energy converting seawater into drinking water.

Three of your bad habits?

Where do I start?

Emotional/comfort eating - I am not that bad, but I shouldn’t do it at all.

Procrastinating - I would get so much more done if I did them instead of just thought about doing them.

Worrying - I worry way too much about little things and when I worry too much I have anxiety attacks which are not fun.

Five places you have lived?

Newcastle

Sydney - Forest Lodge, Newtown, Alexandria and Surry Hills plus quite a few other suburbs.

Five jobs you’ve had?

Drama Teacher

Cinema Worker

Content Editor

Telecommunications Interception Officer

Veterinary Nurse

Tech Support

How did you name your blog?

It comes from one of my favourite quotes - “Talking about love is like dancing about architecture.”

I am not going to tag anyone, but if you want to do it please do as I would love to see your answers.
