Sunday Stealing: The Over the Top Meme

Part One - Describe:

Your hair? Mousy, straight and bland.

Your mother? Energetic, conscientious, creative, and probably much better at spelling than I am.

Your father? Chilled out, like a Rastafarian, although he doesn't smoke weed or listen to reggae. He likes to snooze when he's in his office. (Note: this is a one sided view - he does actually work too)

Your favorite food? All of it! I love food - hence the plumpy physique.

Your dream last night? Oh, it was bizarre (aren't they all?) Like a tragic B rate movie about some middle eastern girl growing up in America who was being hunted down by crazed terrorists for god knows why, and all she really wanted to do was be an actress!

Your favorite drink? A cup of tea. With lots of milk and honey. Just leave it on the coffee table. Thanks.

Your dream/goal? Pfft... I'm in between goals at the moment.

The room are you in? It's messy. It's our telly room. With a big flat screen telly, a midget computer that is going to die this year (stragen has decided) and baby's toys scattered all over the carpet. (Which is quite nice carpet, I must add.)

Your hobby? Pfft... I'm in between hobbies at the moment (haven't had time to put pencil to paper).

Your fear?


Your TV? It's big. It's flat screen. It's HD. It's my best friend.

Your Pets? Got eaten by a cat!!

Friends? Hey, they're alright!

Your life? I was going to say 'solitudinous' but I don't think that's an actual word. And it is also not true. These days I very rarely find myself alone and I really would like some alone time... with a glass of wine. And a good book to read.

Your mood? Presently I feel chipper.

If you're missing someone? Do you want me to describe how I am if I'm missing someone? Hmmm... I get a little restless and tend to have trouble focusing.

Your best friend? Also has a 'solitudinous' life. Although I'm not sure if she'd approve of my rubbish vocab.

Part Two - The Where's?

Where do you want to be in 6 years? Putting pencil to paper more often. Having a more 'solitudinous' time.

Where were you last night? At home. Ho hum. And it was a Saturday night too!

Where did you grow up? Tasmania (cold, beautiful), Queensland (hot, stinky), Perthy (meh)

One place that I go to over and over? I wouldn't know, I've never met you, Mr Mystery Stranger who wrote this meme. I however, could go to Munich over and over... Also Fiji, that place was fab!

Your favorite place to eat out? I like most of them, it's very difficult to choose.

Wish list items? Sadly, at present my wish list is all items for my girls. Pretty dresses, pretty cloth nappies, way cool toys, books galore...

Last time you laughed? God, I don't know, I laugh every day. Sometime today.

Last time you cried? Not in a few weeks, at least. I can't remember.

Part Three - The What's?

Something that you aren't? I am not a marine biologist, an accountant, a firefighter or somebody who has dinner parties (I believe they are called socialites).

Last thing you did? Put my kids to bed. Now it's time for a cup of tea.

What are you wearing? Oh blah! Is this the dullest question out there? I'm wearing an old black/red skirt and a green t shirt.

Something you're not wearing? Goggles. Like the type they wore in WWI movies.

Your favorite store? Borders.

Cheerio!

Sunday Stealing: The Magical Mystery Tour Meme

1. Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet? Oh yes.

2. How do you flush the toilet in public? The regular way. Is there any other way? This is a strange question. How many different ways can there be for flushing the toilet? Wouldn't you just press the flush?

3. Do you wear your seat belt in the car? Of course.

4. Do you have a crush on someone? No.

5. Name one thing you worry about running out of. Milk. Can't live without it.

6. What famous person do you (or other people) think you resemble? Err, I've had Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Anna Paquin. Not that it's something I've ever cared about much.

7. What is your favourite pizza topping? All of them.

8. Do you crack your knuckles? No.

9. What song do you hate the most? Hate is a strong word. There aren't many I hate these days. Probably because I rarely listen.

10. Did just mentioning that song make it get stuck in your head? No, as I didn't mention a song. I have a Kate Bush song stuck in my head. It's been there all morning. In fact, I think that it is becoming the song I most hate.

11. What are your super powers? Being Forgetful. Avoiding talking on the phone.

12. Peppermint or spearmint? Spearmint. Today it's spearmint, anyway. Tomorrow I might just change my mind.

13. Where are your car keys? I don't know.

14. Last song you listened to? Anne's Song by Faith No More. I'm telling you, I've been listening to the same music since I was fifteen and it just doesn't change. Nothing like a music rut to make one feel old.

15. What's your most annoying habit? I bite my nails.

16. Where did you last go on vacation? Malaysia - same old same old.

17. What is your best physical feature? I don't have a best physical feature anymore. They are all just about the same, my physical features, that is: nothing remarkable.

18. What CD is closest to you right now? What CD? I don't think I even have any around. They are all over there on the bookshelf.

19. What 3 things can always be found in your refrigerator? Milk. Cheese. Yogurt. I will always have strong bones.

20. What superstition do you believe/practice? If I give away any baby clothes/nappies I will get pregnant again. It's just bound to happen. When you give babies stuff away you're just tempting fate.

21. What colour are your bed sheets? Faded. I believe they were once yellow.

22. Would you rather be a fish or a bird? Bird. That was easy. And the thought of being underwater makes me feel uneasy. I never did like diving.

23. Last thing you broke? Somebody's heart. ... Just kidding. It was probably a plate (that I broke I mean - I'm not suggesting that somebody's heart was a plate)

24. What are you having to eat tonight? Crummy home-made pasta as cooked by this skip.

25. What colour shirt are you wearing? Oh, it's green and a bit hippy-ish, which is totally not my style. But I'm poor and will wear (almost) anything these days.

26. If you could be doing anything else today, what would you rather be doing? Running away to Texas to be a cowgirl (ignoring the fact that i don't know how to ride a horse).

27. Do security cameras make you nervous? no

28. If you wrote a book about your life, what would the title be? "Life in Cold Blood" but that's not very original, it's just the title of this David Attenborough DVD I'm watching presently. It's really good, I reccommend it.

29. Last time you went to a cemetery? Long time ago. I'm not big on picnics at the cemetery anymore.

30. Last concert you went to? Was so long ago I can't even remember which one it was.

31. Favourite musician(s)/bands you've seen in concert? The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Although, that's only because I haven't seen any of the more famous Orchestras.

32. Next concert you're planning to attend? ... I'm just not even going to think about it, because I don't know when I will have the money or the free time to go out again. And sadly, if I did have the time and money, I'd still just rather go to the gym.

33. Do you talk to yourself? Yes, but not as much as I sing to myself.

34. Have you ever adopted or purchased a pet? I purchased a pet budgie once.

35. Have you ever been present when an animal is being born? Yes, in grade five ... or was it six? I think it was grade six, the class next to us had pet mice. We watched one giving birth to little kidney bean shaped and sticky looking babies - It was lunchtime and I found it quite off putting.
