Bunch o' memes
A bunch of meme's I was tagged for by jlrpuck and earlgreytea and someone else I can't remember quite some time ago but just haven't gotten around to doing yet.
16 things meme:
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged.
Oh blimey. 16 facts/habits? Wow, okay.
1. As much as I hate mostly all things Scouse, I really fucking love their accents. Mmmmm Steven Gerrard talking on my telly.
2. I went furniture shopping yesterday and I just want to get a house or an apartment which I know I will stay at for awhile so I can bloody buy furniture. I want a living room set and a bedroom set and pretty matching furniture, but I don't want to move it all in 6 months time.
3. I really wish I could learn how to cook better. I would take a class in all my free time *rolls eyes* but somehow I don't think that's going to happen.
4. I'd also like to be multi-lingual. I took Italian in college and fumbled my way through French, but I'd really love to be able to be able to speak Spanish fluently (because of my job and my location) along with being able to get by very well in France and Italy. Not to mention being able to hold my own in Portuguese speaking countries as well.
5. Giggsy and I have a new morning ritual. My alarm goes off and I turn my fan off and that's her cue to come into my bedroom and she jumps into my bed and we cuddle for a little while before I get up. It's the best morning ritual ever.
6. I'm really shite at packing. I start out well and label everything really nice and then about 5 boxes in, I just start throwing shit in boxes and labeling them "miscellaneous".
7. I am so wonderfully happy with my job. *sighs*
8. I really want to move to England. Like I've said before, England just feels more like home to me than Texas ever has. I really feel homesick when I think about England, as crazy as that sounds.
9. The 5th round FA Cup draw is on live, which I am ridiculously excited about. Usually the draws are all early and I can't watch live but I have to pause this meme while I watch.
*watching*
Oh, surprise. Chelsea get Watford. Not bad for us: away to Derby or Nottingham Forest. K back to the meme.
10. I am so happy to be back in Houston for the winter. I really don't see how you Northern folk make it through the winter without killing yourselves. It took some pretty powerful anti-depressants for me to make it through the two years I was up there. *shudders*
11. A month until I get to go to Cancun. I wish I could miraculously lose about 10 pounds before I go, but eh.
12. I'm a very ADHD person with a massive oral fixation. I have various bits of things in my handbag that I can play with and/or chew on whilst I am out. A little thing of play-doh (swear), a keychain I chew on, etc etc.
13. I make friends on the internet much easier than I do IRL. It's just so much easier "Oh you like football? You slash the guys too? Sweet!" or "Oh, you like Doctor Who? You want to do naughty things to Tennant? Sweet!" You can't really do that IRL, I wish you could.
14. I want to live somewhere with a backyard. I think I'll start looking at renting houses next and not an apartment. I want Giggsy to have a backyard.
15. Speaking of Giggsy, I spoil her tremendously. She gets a new toy or a new bone every week. *sighs at her* I just think that she's the closest I'm ever going to be to having kids and people buy their kids new toys all the time. *nods*
16. It was really hard for me to ramble on about 16 things. Congrats to those who are still reading.

The Happiness Meme:
Rules: For eight days you have to post 5 things that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same (An aside.. these memes are very demanding aren't they?!)
1. This is my last weekend at my apartment, which I love, but moving means this is the last week I have an hour long commute to get back and forth to work!!
2. Today is Sunday and all I have to do is pack. It's a wonderful feeling not to have to study every weekend anymore.
3. Giggsy is sleeping on my leg. ♥
4. United moving through to the next round of the FA Cup, Liverpool having to play a replay moo ha ha.
5. Setanta are interviewing a bunch of Liverpool fans and my god the wonderful scouse. There's this blonde chick who sounds just like Alex and nghhhhhh I want her badly.
Okay. So I tag: beizy (I miss you btw), deanna_tyler, diemme, dizzydame, englishmann, entropygoddess, glass_moment, kay_elf, kissedbyadonis, ladythana, laerwen, leetje, madzilla, nikki1804, papilio_luna, txvoodoo, and winnett. No idea how many people this is, if you want to do one or all, go for it; if not I won't hold it against you.
