1) My mother once: took me for a picnic in the Queen’s Park Savannah.
2) Never in my life: have I had a fireman. My life is not complete.

4) High school was/is: something I would like to forget.
5) I will never forget: how blessed I am.
6) I once met: Martin Shaw and I didn't know who he was.
7) There's this person I know who: lives life to the fullest, she does not know the meaning of NO, will try anything once. I want to be like her.

9) By noon I'm usually: awake, possibly dressed.

12) Next time I go to church/temple: will be for someone’s wedding or funeral.
13) Terri Schiavo: is who exactly?
14) I like: smoking, red wine, dark chocolate, blogging, men with a sense of humour and shopping.
15) When I turn my head left, I see: my garden below.
16) When I turn my head right, I see: my upstairs bathroom at the end of the landing (it sounds much longer than it really is).
17) You know I'm lying when: I say I’m normal.
18) In junior school: my nick-name was Spaghetti – cause I was white and skinny.
19) If I was a character written by Shakespeare: I would aspire to be Titania from MidSummer Night’s Dream, but would really be Portia from Merchant of Venice.

38) Paper clips are more useful than: politicians (all of them)
39) And by the way: I’m doing better than ever.
40) The last time I was (really) drunk: was about 6 months ago. Yet again, I hurtled myself at someone. Fortunately, he’s a friend who didn’t take it amiss.
41) My grandmother always: said ‘those who can’t hear, must feel’. I fit into the latter category. I have to find out for myself. The hard way.
Cause I like spreading the joy I nominate: Scarlet-Blue, Hottie, Dave, Kaz, and Just Curious. Let me know if you decide to tackle the meme anyway.

Today, this blog is a year old. In the next two weeks I will be coming to the end of this particular journey. I'm still not sure how I f...
I was wondering about line-dancing for our blog-meet.
ReplyDeletedave ~ ummm...no. Really. No.
ReplyDeleteHandy. I'd rather be dead than dance.
ReplyDeletedave ~ yeah, you and every other straight Englishman.
ReplyDeleteAt least Dave's been forewarned about No 24!
ReplyDeleteRog ~ I'm trying to come up with a witty retort and failing miserably. I'm going to have a lie down and get back to you on that one.
ReplyDeleteI like smoking too! But I drink tea. And dunk digestives.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tag!
Sx
ms scarlet ~ I drink tea when the coffee shakes get too bad, or when I'm sick. I don't dunk, I like my crunchy things, crunchy; not soggy.
ReplyDeleteThat was interesting what is worrying is a lot made sense even the ones that did not make sense, except you want to go back to school? that shows a wide streak of insanity!!
ReplyDeletevetnurse ~ methinks you read that too quick...or what I wrote in my head was not what appeared on screen (which frequently happens).
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant is that I don't ever want to go back to school. Ugh. The only problem with reincarnation is that you have to live through puberty yet again. It's put me off.
I'll put up my one tomorrow. Probably.
ReplyDeleteps I'm in Norwich Monday morning (optician's appointment 10.20) - don't suppose you're free to meet up for a coffee/spot of lunch?
ReplyDeletedave ~ I look forward to your take on the meme. Unfortunately, I take up gainful employment again on Monday. The good news is I can eat, drink and be merry on Tuesdays and Fridays. Give me a week to get over the shock of working for a living and let's organise something for the week after.
ReplyDeleteGreat answers!
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a tea person but I'm learning to drink coffee through the joys of caffefrappalattemachiatos
Is it time for cocktails yet?
ReplyDeleteCyberPete ~ hail and welcome. Nice to see you round here. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a cocktail thanks. For some reason I just fancy a Long Island Iced Tea. Don't ask me why. I dunno.
Hope that work isn't too stressful.
ReplyDeletedave ~ work was great thanks. Today's jobs: procrastination.
ReplyDeleteI cannot bear to think of you without your coffee.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't afford it just leave a comment in my box and I'll send vouchers.
:)
kaz ~ you star! The same goes for you and your DMs. I'm always here for you.
ReplyDeleteRight now I fancy a bucks fizz
ReplyDeletecyberpete ~ it's your birthday honey, have a virtual bucks fizz on me!
ReplyDeleteThanks darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat's on the menu today?
cyberpete ~ as I've just come back from work, I think I'll crack open a bottle of cider and put my feet up. Fancy one as well?
ReplyDeleteHi Roses - I've had a go at the tag - but don't hold your breath.
ReplyDeletekaz ~ I'm waiting...just so you know, I'm not known for my patience...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds nice!
ReplyDeleteLet's!
Except for the bit about accepting a groom who gets to the church on time adorned in the meterosexual resplendency of pink tux and crocs, you sound disturbingly normal...
ReplyDeletewhat if HE was a fireman?
I appreciate your honesty.
cyberpete ~ cider is gooood. Hits the spot.
ReplyDeletedonn ~ call me normal again and there will be trouble. Besides I thought you were quite observant...my bad.
And no, I wouldn't marry him, even if he was a fireman.
