Sam, my 7 year old black lab is my companion and best friend and the reason I'm still alive. He's about 40kg but still climbs up on my lap whenever he damn well feels like it. He seems okay with me leaving him every day for work and is always super happy to see me when I get home. Nearly always has his favourite toy in his mouth when he greets me. If I surprise him, he'll go find it straight away.
Has started this habit the last few months of scrunching up his doggie futon between his front legs and ummmm humping it. Does it after his evening meal every night but never after breakfast. God damn funny to watch.
He also howls like a husky when the Mr Whippie van drives buy. But only if it's playing Greensleeves. LOL Any other music and he ignores it.

88: are there any artistic movements you particularly enjoy?

Very close to my dad. Talk on the phone a lot and I visit him most weekends. My mum passed in 89. I'm adopted and I chat with my biological mum every few weeks on the phone. She lives about 6 hours drive away so don't get to see her as much as I would like.

90: talk about one of your favorite cities.
LA, it's so vibrant and full of energy 24/7. So many things to see and do, places to explore and hang out in. Wouldn;t want to live there but I love visiting and hope to do so many more times.

91: where do you plan on traveling this year?
I'm flying from Perth to Sydney next Friday night for a Stargate con on the Saturday. Will be seeing RDA, Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping at the same con for the first time. Also can't wait to hang out with my BFF. Will only be there for 14 hours so will have to make every second count.

updates?? what are them?? LOL they usually happen when my computer decides they must be done and shuts down with no warning!!

so long ago I can't remember. Probably not otherwise I think I would have done it again.

99: list some songs that resonate to your soul whenever you hear them.

anything by either A-ha or George Michael. They are my go-to whenever I'm feeling down and depressed.

100: if you were presented with two buttons, one that allows you to go 5 years into the past, the other 5 years into the future, which one would you press? why?
Definitely to the past. I was on the verge of buying my own house/ offer accepted/finance approved/just waiting on settlement to go through. Then I lost my job. In utter panic and deeply depressive, thinking I wouldn't find another one, I foolishly told the finance company to cancel the contract. Worst mistake I have ever made as I found another job just a few days later. Since then shit has happened (most of it my fault) and I haven't been in a position to buy again and probably never will be.
