Boredom is the lowest form of something (I just haven't decided what)
(Today I am mostly listening to: That new thang by Jamiroquai)
It’s bank holiday Monday & I’m bored. Done a bit of tidying up of the blog (see how it sparkles!), and as there’s nothing particularly interesting on TV, I’ve nicked this idea from someone else’s blog...
100 (random) things about me
1. My birthday is in October
2. I’ve lost the will to celebrate birthdays, they never turn out how I plan them & I always feel let down
3. I’d quite like a pet dog
4. I’d call it something like Warner, Hector, or Bartholomew, but nothing is definite & I’m always open to ideas
5. My sister is my best friend (she’s the only one I can rely on)
6. She knows more people in our hometown than I do & I’m the one who lives here
7. I’m envious of her life; she’s doing the job she always wanted to do & knows what she wants from life
8. I’m not jealous of her though; I just aspire to be a bit more like her
9. I’d quite like to get my tongue pierced, but don’t think I could cope with the pain
10. I used to have my nose pierced
11. I only did it because the bloke I fancied was having his eyebrow done
12. I don’t want a tattoo
13. I love curry
14. I miss the ones cooked by He who must not be named (they were the best)
15. Some times I can be lazy
16. I wish I wasn’t
17. I hate it when people punctuate sentences with laughter
18. I’ve never seen Reservoir Dogs or Trainspotting
19. I always forget the overdose scene in Pulp Fiction
20. I wish I played a musical instrument
21. But don’t want to go through the learning curve of lessons
22. I’d also like to be able to sing (properly)
23. I don’t know what my dream job is
24. I’d like to try lots until I find the right one for me
25. I’d love to do a tour of the world by following sports events
26. I’d start with the British & Irish Lions in New Zealand
27. And maybe come back to the UK for the Ashes & Wimbledon
28. But then I’d carry on round the world again
29. I’ve never won anything on the Lotto
30. Although I buy a ticket most weeks (and it’s probably my only chance of doing my world tour)
31. I wish I spoke a foreign language fluently
32. I wish I had more motivation
33. And more willpower
34. I wish my hair was straighter and longer
35. Or I could use straighteners properly
36. I can sometimes be too stubborn for my own good
37. I’d like to be a published author, but I’m still waiting for that killer idea
38. Some questions in life can only be answered by an ice-cold lager (although it’s not my favourite drink)
39. REM – Out of Time was the first CD I ever bought
40. I’d rather eat 2 Big Mac’s than 1 Big Mac & fries (although I’ve never done it & don’t plan to do it)
41. I failed my history A’ level
42. One day I would like to take it again and pass
43. When people ask which team I support, I always reply with "Saracens" (it confuses them; they mean football, I mean rugby)
44. I miss watching them on a Sunday (even in the rain & wind of Watford)
45. I like a man in glasses
46. I feel drawn to Aragorn, even though he doesn’t wear glasses
47. And Orlando Bloom has a certain quality at certain times
48. Pepperoni is my favourite pizza topping (I used to pick it all off & eat it after I’d finished with the pizza base)
49. I prefer tea to coffee
Anyone fancy a cuppa?
50. I don’t eat fish because I don’t like it (although I once ate a fish-finger sandwich & thought it was OK).
51. I can’t walk in heels, although I would love to be able to
52. I blame it on the fact I broke my ankle on a drunken night out
53. I don’t do maths; I’d like to personally thank the person who invented electronic calculators
54. I’m more “one of the guys” than a “girly girl”
55. I wish I was more girly at times though!
56. I’m afraid to die & haven’t come to terms with death (I cry when people die in Neighbours or Eastenders)
57. I’m much happier, nicer & funnier than this list is making me sound!
58. I should be doing something else instead of writing this.
59. I’m running out of things to say, so think I’ll stop at 60 (it’s a nice round number)
60. I didn’t think I’d get this far!
Only 40 more to go! (And I did that without a calculator). I suppose I can always complete it another time when I’ve got nothing better to do.
