Me! Me! Meme!
Snagged from ireth06 (no sweetie, I'm not avoiding beta-ing your chappies, I just don't have the brain-power for it yet *sigh* )
1. What's on the back seat of your car right now? Nothing, although I think there might be a raincoat and some reusable shopping bags on the floor.
2. When was the last time you threw up? Last time I was hungover...so...before Christmas? Think it was early December, when my mate T's Scottish pal was here.
3. What's your favorite word? Don't know that I have one at the moment. I used "stabbage" quite a lot up until recently. Haven't had call to use it more than once since I started work.
4. Name 3 people who made you smile today. T, J, and Robin (that's my cat, but she's people).
5. What were you doing at 8 am this morning? I was having a sleep-in, since the neighbour's dog kept me awake half the night howling.
6. What were you doing 30 minutes ago? Finishing off a beer at the pub with T & J.
7. What is your favorite holiday? Probably Christmas, because for me it's all about getting together with family, and I also get a huge kick out of giving gifts.
8. Have you ever been to a strip club? No, although my brother-in-law wants to take me to one.
9. What is the last thing you said aloud? "Thanks guys, seeya."
10. What is the best ice cream flavor? Ben & Jerry's Phish Food! I've only had it once, when I was in the US - can't get it here.
11. What was the last thing you had to drink? Beer (although I'm about 2 seconds away from a big-arse glass of water).
12. What are you wearing right now? Just got changed into comfy clothes after getting home, so I'm wearing my favourite t-shirt (it's green and has "Recycle For Life" and the recycle symbol on the front), and grey trackies. No bra. I'm dressed for comfort, not for style.
13. What was the last thing you ate? Calamari, chips & salad (pub lunch). It was really yummy but I didn't eat much of it.
14. Have you bought any new clothing items this week? Yeah, 2 new tops to wear to work (they were on sale).
15. When was the last time you ran? Around 6 or 7 weeks ago. Sometime near the start of this stupid ear infection that won't go away (had it for 8 weeks now - last thing I feel like doing is jogging).
16. What's the last sporting event you watched? A little bit of cricket at the pub just now. Australia vs. India.
17. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? King William, Virginia, USA (very specific, I know - I could even give you the exact address lol).

jenexell
19. Ever go camping? Yep, I love camping - but I think the last time I went was when I was in high school. A loooooong time ago.
20. Do you have a tan? No. Too much risk of skin cancer to bother with that crap. My arms and face are a little bit browner than the rest of me, but that's it. I have pasty white legs on display whenever I wear a skirt/shorts.
21. Have you ever lost anything down a toilet? Dropped my watch down a toilet once when I was at school camp. I freaked out and got the teacher to pull it out for me. I never wore it again, though.
22. What is your guilty pleasure? I dunno. Reading slash when I should be doing other things, I guess.
23. Do you use smiley faces on the computer a lot? Depends on who I'm talking to, and what we're talking about.
24. Do you drink your pop from a straw? Only if I'm at the pub and it's mixed with something alcoholic. Or if I'm drinking post-mix softdrink. For some reason I prefer that through a straw.
25. What did your last text message say? Last one I sent? It said, "Happy Valentine's day, baby! I love you!" Last one I received was very similar. ;)
26. Are you someone's best friend? I dunno.
27. What are you doing tomorrow? Working.
28. Where is your mom right now? Well, she took my little brother to Melbourne yesterday to get him settled in at Uni. So she's probably shopping for groceries with him today, or just generally hovering and being mum-like.

34. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru? I only seem to get fast food when I'm hungover, so it's always drive-thru.
35. Do you have any friends on LJ that you actually hate? Have you seen how small my friends list is? I can't afford to hate any of them lol.
37. Last person you talked to on the phone? My mate T's sister-in-law, inviting me to her birthday party next weekend.
38. Have you met anyone famous? I've walked past a couple of Aussie actors and recognised them, but not actually met them. A friend of mine literally ran into Kate Ceberano in an airport toilet once. She described her as, "Tiny, with these enormous boobs!"
39. Any plans today? Just got back from my plans - lunch and a couple beers at the pub with T & J. They've gone back to T's place to booze up some more, but I'm still not feeling up for that. It was really good to catch up with them, though. My plans for the rest of the day include extreme relaxation, followed by ironing.
40. How many states have you lived in? One - Victoria.
41. Ever go to college? Went to Uni for a year and a half before dropping out. I wasn't in the right headspace to be there.
42. Where are you right now? Loungeroom.
43. Biggest annoyance in your life right now? This stupid fucking ear infection that won't go away!! Haven't had one in literally 20 years, and this one is just not responding to anything. Gotta go to the doctor tomorrow for my 5th lot of antibiotics...it's ridiculous. I'm so tired of feeling like crap all the time.
44. Last song listened to? Nails In My Feet, by Crowded House
45. Last movie you saw? BBC mini-series of Jane Eyre, last weekend. I tried to watch the Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice on Friday night, but turned it off halfway through. It sucked arse.
46. Are you allergic to anything? Penicillin, oranges, shiitake mushrooms, and various other medications.
47. Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time? Not shoes - my sheepskin moccasins! Followed closely by my tartan volleys.

49. Are you married? No. It's not legal for me to marry my desired life-partner in this country.
51. What time is it? 3.15pm
52. Do any of your friends have children? Yep. I was birth partner for one of them. Cut the cord and everything, it was awesome.
53. Do you eat healthy? Depends on the day of the week, and whether I can be bothered cooking.
54. What do you usually do during the day? Work.
55. Do you hate anyone right now? No. It's a waste of energy.
56. Do you use the word hello daily? I'm more likely to say "G'day". Stereotypical of me, I know. :P
57. How many kids do you want? That's a tricky question. I never wanted kids before I met my girl. But if I can't have them with her (currently an impossibility, since she lives on the other side of the world), then I'd rather not have them at all. I love her 2 kids like my own anyway, so even if we managed to get into the same country on a permanent basis, and it turned out it was too late for me to have kids, then they'd be enough.
58. Have you ever been to Six Flags? I have no idea. *Googles Six Flags* Um, no.
59. How did you get one of your scars? Well, it actually scored me 5 scars, but it was from having my gallbladder removed a few years ago.
60. Who is your favorite singer? Don't know that I have one. My favourite changes with my mood. All-time favourite two bands are the Beatles & the Bee Gees. But I wouldn't say any of those singers would be my favourite soloists.
