Don't die of shock...a post. Meme stolen from Crunch who is 1 of about 3 who still posts on LJ
1. Name five things you can see without getting up:
My charity shop bag that I get a lot of compliments about (except the time someone at work told me their 14&11 year old daughters would love it)
Clouds
Unfinished knitting
An ugly smock that is about the only thing that fits me
New carpet
2. How many times have you changed your hairstyle in the past five years?:
Don't remember - it grows and grows and grows and then I get it cut. It's quite long at the moment.
3. What is your favourite article of clothing (that you own) and why?:
My red Ecco shoes that have rubber tire soles and are almost falling to pieces.
4. What's your favourite cartoon?:
This one:
Although it probably doesn't count because it's a music video. And there's an annoying advertisement at the beginning of it when you watch it on YouTube. There never used to be.
5. If you got a tattoo, what would it be of?:
I used to want a skull. I don't care for one now.
6. What's your favourite mystical creature?:
None - times have changed and I've lost my imagination.
7. What are you thinking about right now?:
I should go into my office and do some work. But I am too fat and lazy.
8. Write the first word that comes to mind:
Green
9. What musician is your favourite to see in concert?:
Wonderstuff - they made me dance and sing.
10. If you came across $2,000 (or other currency) would you keep it or turn it in?:
Turn it in. I suck at being dishonest.
11. What was the last thing that you bought?:
A wooden cot and changing unit from Marks and Spencer - it is dull and sensible but the delivery people will carry it up the stairs and assemble.
12. What other countries have you been to (if any)?:
Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, USA, Italy, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Austria, Switzerland...maybe more, I forget.
13. Do you have a favourite comedian and if yes, who?:
Omid Djalili - today he is anyway.
14. Last book you've read?:
Oh, something dull and sociological - more interesting is that I've just started Arthur & George by Julian Barnes.
15. What are you doing this weekend?:
Sleeping on the sofa or at the allotment, posting photos on Facebook groups and wishing I was in London.
16. What is your song of choice RIGHT NOW?:
Me and the Devil by Gil Scott Heron - not because of the song, but because of the music video. If I was a film maker (which I could have been - I went to art school to do film, but got sidetracked into sculpture because I was such a good drawer) I'd make films that looked like the video.
17. Favourite movie of the last six months?:
None.
18. Favourite season?:
Summer, but proper summer that involves swimming in rivers and lying under trees - not rainy, grey summer.
19. Which part of this year are you looking forward to the most?:
The part when things turn out well.
20. Best thing this year so far?:
Seeing my stomach move.
