Getting to know me 2012 - yes, an annoying meme - yaaaay!
1. What time did you get up this morning? -- 5am. I get up at 5am every weekday and usually by 7am on weekends. I know, I hate me too.
2. Diamonds or pearls? -- Diamonds. Or a pearl necklace. Both are fine.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? -- Cinema? Fuck knows, I barely go. Ummmmm.... I honestly cannot remember. I kind of consider the cinema to be a waste of money these days.
4. What is your favourite TV show? -- Once Upon A Time at the moment. Plus any doco type shows about police officers / crime / border patrol. Also Crash Scene Investigation and Air Crash Investigation - LOVE!
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? -- Two pieces of multigrain toast with vegemite on weekdays. I'll also have greek yoghurt with berries if I'm extra hungry. On weekends I might have eggs or baked beans. And a 2 shot long black, no sugar (that's most week days)
6. What is your middle name? -- May, because i was born on the 1st of May.
7. What food do you dislike? -- Mushrooms, avocado, red meat, pork (I do like bacon but stopped eating it due to the fact that pigs have the average intelligence of a 3 year old child - I just can't!), all types of melon, eggplant, pate.
8. What is your favourite CD at moment? -- Ummmmmmm.... I don't really play a lot of CD's except in my Reception area at work. The last one I bought was the Hunger Games sountrack, so I guess I'll go with that. And my signed Whitlams CDs from way back when (Whitlams Fan 4 Lyf =P )
9. What kind of car do you drive? -- Holden HQ Statesman
10. Favourite sandwich -- Tuna, red onion, capers and iceberg lettuce.
11. What characteristic do you despise? -- I don't really hate
characteristics. I prefer to hate people for more specific things. But I guess if I had to say anything it would be people who put forth this bold in-your-face opinion, and then can't handle a good debate about it or other people expressing a differing opinion. And then they get all butthurt and play the victim card and say that they're being bullied or people are being mean to them. Just ... yeah.

I had this discussion with Mal recently actually, and discovered I'm not actually afraid of fuckall. My only other fear would be drowning, and more specifically being trapped inside something sinking into the water, like a car or a submarine for example, and dying a slow drowning death knowing exactly what was coming for me. But apart from that, I dont really have a lot of fear in my life at all. I used to be afraid of hospitals, got over that, needles, got over that one too.

Actually, it's funny, I actually DO make friends easily. I'm not usually in the market to make new friends, but I've been surprised over the last 12 months that I have formed some new friendships. All going well so far (this just means I haven;t royally pissed them off yet, or vice versa)
56. How many people will you send this to? -- I'll just publish it on LJ - if people want to copy paste to their own blog or email it to their mates, more power to 'em.

58. What is one thing you regret about this year? Probably not sticking to my guns about the wedding organising stuff and wanting to get things paid off early etc. The stress of the last few weeks before the event kinda did my block in.

60. Cookies or Cake? Ummm, cookies. Anzacs or oatmeal cookies - yummmmm.
