Girlie Meme

1. Do you wear shoes that are actually too small?
I have been known too.

2. Do you get up at least an hour early to get ready each day?
Nearly. I get up at 7.20 and I'm out of the door by 8.10, that makes 50 minutes. This is despite the fact I decide what I'm going to wear each day of the week on Sunday night!

3. Can you put on mascara with your mouth closed?
Yes.

4. Do you remember your first love?
Yes, the memories are fading after 10 years though. I hope I never see him again though.

5. "First loves are never really over"
Mine is. He's married with a baby now, which put me off big time.

6. Think of when you lost your virginity, what comes to mind?
I don't want to think about it. Next question...

7. Does your heart break easily?
Yep. I'm sensitive to people not liking me so being dumped is the ultimate disaster.

8. Do you think you pee more than men?
I don't know. I've spent a fair amount of time waiting alone in pubs for a man to return from the loo. Depends on how much I've had to drink though.

9. Have you ever wondered why men have nipples?
Can't say I've really thought about it.

10. When buying underwear, what type of cashier do you look for?
Any. Although, I must admit to avoiding young looking cashiers when buying boring knickers from M&S.

11. How many purses do you own?
Is this American purses (ie. handbags)? or UK purses? USA - around 10. UK - 4 although one is two small to use.

13. Do you get a little too emotional that time of month?
I used to but my magic pill has put an end to all that.

14. What is your honest opinion about sex?
Its fun but I can live without it.

15. Are you addicted to sex?
No.

16. How many tubes of lipstick do you own?
I don't know. Maybe four or five. I don't wear it because it dries my lips out.

17. Do you expect the man to pay for dates?
No. I've never had a man who paid for a date so I'd be unwise to expect it.

18. Do you prefer curling up on the couch watching tv or going out together?
Either.

19. Think of your X's. Would you take any of them back?
Errr, not sure. It's been a long time since I've seen some of them.

20. Think of a cruel punishment for your last ex. Describe:
I'd re tune his cable box so the only channel he could receive was the Hallmark Channel. That'd upset him!

21. Do you want a diamond ring?
It'd be nice, but I'm not expecting anything.

22. Would you rather get flowers or a stuffed animal for Valentine's Day?
No soft toys thanks, I've got plenty already. I vote for choccies over flowers though.

23. Do you enjoy cleaning the house?
No, but I enjoy the feeling of satisfaction once it's done.

24. Do you like to cook?
Yes, but I'm not very good at it.

25. Can you sew?
A bit.

26. Are you really feminine or a tom boy?
I'm feminine, not blokey in the slightest.

27. If someone showed up on an off day, what do they see you wearing?
Old jeans and a snuggly sweatshirt.

28. What is your average style?
Basic, smart for work and fashion victim the rest of the time.

29. Do you like football?
Depends. I like to see it live but it bores me on TV.

30. Do you read steamy romance novels?
No. I used to write steamy short stories when I was a teenager though. They were rubbish!

31. Do you watch chick flicks?
Sometimes. I love Richard Curtis movies.

First day of autumn...

Someone at work informed me that 21st September is the first day of Autumn so 'Happy Autumn' everyone.

I'm so tired and I can't work out why.

Tuesday was my first night back at Brownies over the hols. We're doing the 'Road Safety' interest badge. Tawny Owl asked them the meanings of various road safety related words. You can guess how they answered when the word subway came up. Yep, 'A special shop that only sells sandwiches'. The Americans have a lot to answer for!

Mum and dad spent last night trying to put together a flat pack cupboard for the bathroom. Unfortunately, they'd been sent some of the wrong bits. As it was mail order they have to be sent a whole new flatpack with no guarantee that it will have the right bits in it! I hope this doesn't happen with my flat or it might tip me right over the edge...

Still no news on a completion date for the flat. I'm waiting for Nationwide to see whether the buildings insurance complies with the mortgage terms or not. Getting a bit bored with waiting now. I want to order my furniture, but there's no point in doing so until I know when it can be delivered.

Right, I'm off to do another meme...

Choose 5 fandoms you like and answer the 10 questions:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I would shag anytime
6. The character I'd want to be like
7. The character I'd slap
8. A pairing that I love
9. A pairing that I despise
10. Favorite character

This is going to be a bit tricky as I don't have that many fandoms. Think I'll have to stick to three.

Press Gang

1. The first character I first fell in love with - Spike.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Colin.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - None of them really.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Sarah. Only because she reminds of myself, and I don't like the thought that anyone would dislike me that much!
5. The character I would shag anytime - Spike (with Kenny a close second)
6. The character I'd want to be like - Sam, she's pretty, confident and talented. I wish I could stand up to people as scary as Lynda!
7. The character I'd slap - Julie under normal circumstances but I'd save a particularly big slap for Colin in ALAD after he makes the comment about Lynda being too good for Spike.
8. A pairing that I love - Spike and Lynda obv. but I love Sam and Kenny too.
9. A pairing that I despise - Sarah and Archie Pressman. A meeting of tragic hair cuts!
10. Favorite character - Kenny. I can't think of another character like him in any TV show, movie or play. It's good to be nice!


My So-Called Life

1. The first character I first fell in love with - Jordan - for fairly obvious reasons!
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Rickie.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - I like them all really.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Sharon. She was struggling the same way as Angela. Being preppy isn't necessarily a bad thing!
5. The character I would shag anytime - Jordan, again obviously.
6. The character I'd want to be like - Difficult question. They're all so troubled. Angela I guess, but she's too easily lead for my liking!
7. The character I'd slap - Jordan. Be nice to her for goodness sake!
8. A pairing that I love - Rickie and Rayanne.
9. A pairing that I despise - Angela's mum and dad. Boring.
10. Favorite character - Rayanne but I think it's mainly down to A J Langer's fantastic performance.


The Tribe

1. The first character I first fell in love with - Amber.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Jack. I thought he was quite irritating in series one but I really rooted for him through series' 2-5
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - Errr. Jay possibly. A nasty piece of work underneath I think.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Danni. Don't get me started on 'Muppergate'. She wasn't a bad character, just not as good as Amber. It was hardly Ella Wilks' fault Beth Allen decided to leave. Rant over!
5. The character I would shag anytime - Bray. I've actually dreamt about doing exactly that on more than one occasion!
6. The character I'd want to be like - Amber, although I'd give the feathers a miss.
7. The character I'd slap - Lex throughout and Gel in the final series.
8. A pairing that I love - Bray and Amber. The chemistry!
9. A pairing that I despise - Alice and Ned. Ned's the worst character I've ever known in any show I've ever seen.
10. Favorite character - Amber, closely followed by Ebony.
