12 things about me (the world in pictures)
Everyone and her dog has done this. I've liked reading everybody's and so here is mine.
Man, it took me ages to work out the whole "make your own mosaic" easy-peasy thing. All those things that are supposed to be very straight-forward I find difficult. Like text-messaging. I have to type out the whole word, and I hate predictive messaging. It feels like when someone finishes your sentences for you and you want to shout "NO, that's NOT what I meant" (even though it kind of WAS what you meant).
The Rules:
1. Answer each of the questions below using the Flickr Search engine
2. Choose a photo from the first three pages.
3. Copy the URL of your favorite photos into the mosaicky site.
4. Save mosaic to some form of photo hosting thing and share w/world.
And answers to the questions:
1. Name - Greta. I was not named after Greta Garbo, but she certainly was extremely cool, so I wish I was.
2. Favourite food - oysters
3. Hometown - Christchurch, New Zealand. I think I posted a photo of this place after our big storm. The sky is the important thing in this photo - it looks like home.
4. Favourite colour - Red. Also - free Burma.
5. Celebrity crush. Well. It was either him or Barack Obama but I feel odd fan-girling him now he's President. I'm so used to loathing the American president. I love this photo of Jensen though. Love the crinkly forehead and thinky face. He's wondering what to get Jared for their first year anniversary gift. Matching pajamas is too girly (and anyway Jared prefers to sleep in the buff and get his body heat from Jensen) and matching rings is a little 'too much-too soon'. And he's watching Jared and thinking... "maybe a trip somewhere" and he gets distracted because Jared is doing that thing when he pushes his hair back from his face and falls back on his chair laughing and Jensen thinks... maybe matching rings after all. ANYHOO. On with the meme.
6. Favourite drink - cranberry juice. NOM NOM NOM.
7. Dream holiday - Angkor Wat, Cambodia. We have lots of great nature here in NZ, but no very old history. So I gravitate to ancient places. Of a preference, warm ancient and spiritual places. :D
8. Favourite dessert - custard. Not following oysters though. Ick.
9. When I grow up I want to be looking like Bambi. Oh all right, I chose "loved." But it does look like Bambi.
10. What I love most in the world - the theatre. Lots of pictures of buildings but I like this because it's bodies in motion, kinetic and lively and present and THAT'S what I like about it.
11.Word to describe me - thinky. The picture looks like it says "hinky" - that amused me also. "Hinky Adventure" sounds like the sort of pay-per-view Dean Winchester would get at a "Cluedo" themed motel.
12. Your LJ name. Okay - so, I typed in my LJ name, (gretazreta) and it said "do you mean, 'greatest'") and I thought... sure, why not. :D :D :D
