Just Jane, I accept your 'sort of' challenge (it's been a slow week!!) Have added one more section though!:
Seven things to do before I die...
- Learn to play more than the five chords I can, on the guitar (hey F was a pretty tricky one to learn I think you'll find!)
- See the Angel Falls in Venuezuala
- Eat an unknown animal body part from a foreign market food stall. And not care!
- Learn to scubadive without fear of seaweed or sea monsters
- Gate crash a C list celebs party!
- Travel around and through Oz driving a beat up camper van with seventies floral curtains and sofa cushions
- Learn more useless sentances in foreign languages. Today I learnt 'Hujan di luen?'. Is it raining? Malay. Not a necessary sentence in Perth! (Previous learning: Awak nak lihad saya punya anak anjing!! Saya ada kupu kupu delam perut kami!)
Seven things I cannot do...
- Leapfrog (Nic, do you remember when we were ten, Mr Carwithin stopping gym class to let everyone in our class watch us not leapfrog over each other? And to think I liked him..)
- Say no to alcohol (last night was testimount to this. Four pints and still to cycle home...)
- Cook (except scrambled eggs and thai curries)
- Not get distracted by the tv. If it's on then you may as well say goodbye to any conversation
- Multi task
- Leave work on time!
- Dive head first
Seven things that attracts me to blogging...
- Being able to get away with not emailing my mates every day. (I just cannot do the whole global email thing so this way people can read about me if they want and ignore me when they are fed up with me!)
- Reading about other peoples exciting lives. This gives you access to those people who would never had crossed your path otherwise.
- Pretending that I have an avid reader fanbase! (I also own a hairbrush for those 'I am the next Madonna' moments!)
- Having a record of my first months in this new and often weird land. In years to come I'll be able to look back and remember how I used to freak out at having to walk outside without shoes on (what about the spiders?) and sunbathing in the wintertime!
- Meeting new people through the wonder of the web
- Not sitting in front of the telly being forced to watch Iron chef on a Saturday night!
- Flicking through those really boring sites whilst smugly allowing yourself to think that at least yours isn't all about your genius talented satan loving child!
Seven things I say most...
- That mings like a cheap vase (urgh, tha's disgusding, loike)
- A mouth like gandhi's flipflop (quick somone gizzus a drink)
- Aye she's a right mink (She's not a very nice young lady that one)
- Thats the badger (Thats the bastard there)
- No, but (in all reality, I promise. Vicky Pollard stole that from me.....unfortunately)
- Now you're working my tits (am getting slightly exasperated with you now)
- Classy bird (what an upmarket elegant lady)
Seven things you don't know about me...
- As well as seaweed I'm also scared of: the dark, ghosts, wasps, dying, wurzel gummidge, growing up, tongues, Stephen King novels, cockroaches, penile implants (don't, they are flippin' scary!), the red lips from Rocky Horror and my ceiling caving in on me!
- I regularly jump around on my bed (alone, I might add!) pretending to be a pop star on Top of the Pops.
- I am forever rewriting scenes in my head. Scenes where I actually have the balls to fight back against someone who has said something nasty to me. In these scenes I am confident, authoritative but witty and manage to put the offender down to the applause of the crowd!
- I'm still shit scared of becoming one of those smug settled down types that can only think about bringing children into the world and the life revolved around the rearing of said sproglets.
- I bite the inside of my lip when stressed or upset.
- I live in fear of 'being taken into the office'
- I love chocolate but hate chocolate icecream
Seven films and TV programmes I could watch over and over again...
- Green Wing (even better the second time round. It's on over here now!)
- Shaun of the Dead
- Pretty Woman
- Charlies Angels
- Truly Madly Deeply
- Tank Girl
- Kath and Kim
Seven Books I love...
- The Woman Who Walked into Doors Roddy Doyle
- Divas Las Vegas Belinda Jones
- Are You Dave Gorman? Dave Gorman
- The Time Travellers Wife Audrey Niffenegger (My absolute favourite!)
- Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates Tom Robbins
- Anything by Roald Dahl
- Angels and Demons Dan Brown
People I would like to tag...
