A Meme

June 22nd, 2008 | 1 Comment | 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.

There must be something that you guys want me to blog about.  Surely,  I haven’t covered every single topic already on my blog.  Is there something you have been dying to know about me or just idly curious about?  Come on, don’t be shy, ask away and I promise I will answer your questions.

Blogging Meme

March 18th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don’t blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don’t blog about, but you’d like to hear about, and I’ll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc.

Favourite Five Meme

January 13th, 2008 | 7 Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

I have been tagged by both Meg and Bettina to complete the Favourite Five Meme.

This meme’s rules are;

1. Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5 key words : family, friend, yourself, your love, anything you like.

2. Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances so that you get to know them each a little bit better.

Family:  The Gathering of the Clan describes how my extended family celebrates Christmas.

 Friends:  Umm… I actually haven’t blogged about my friends. Does this make me a bad person?

Yourself: I don’t really blog about myself either (other than things that I do).  I guess my About page is the best thing to put here.

Your Love: Since I have not really blogged about my gorgeous girlfriend Lelak, the next best thing are my two dogs and they way they make me a Proud Puppy Parent.

Anything You Like:   Christmastime in Vienna has some gorgeous photos of Vienna and you can see a photo of me all rugged up in winter clothing holding the biggest Langos I have ever seen.

Now, who to tag:

Kelley

Naomi

Kathy

Boneblower

Jayne
