Okay, so this little number has been done by Karl and Avitable so far as my eyes can see and I have spent too long fighting with other nonsense today to get on with writing things properly. Going to bed now. Yes, it s still light. The ABCs of Me
Accent: Estuary English dragged a little bit further up North - depending on my moodn - Saaffff London apples and pears pisstake geezer, or BBC news presenter.
Breakfast or no breakfast: Breakfast is coffee, more coffee and maybe a bit more coffee.
Chore I don’t care for: Ironing - I hate it above even vacuuming.
Dog or Cat: Cat every time.
Essential Electronics: iPod, MacBook, and phone and digital camera… and TV… and cable box…
Favorite Cologne: Well, I’m changing this to perfume - again depending on mood CK Obsession, or CK Eternity… In fact anything from the CK range and I’m a bunny on speed.
Gold or Silver: Silver. I look stupid wearing gold.
Handbag I carry most often: The one that fits my MacBook in it that cost £8 from Asda.
Insomnia: If I fall asleep when it’s light I’ll wake up when it’s dark - that is the rule. At the moment I’m more about the Hypersomnia
Job Title: Administrator, IT Champion and Office Geek
Kids: 99% of the time I don’t want one, 1% of the time I realise I’m never going to have one. Which. Is. Perfectly. Fine. Generally though, because the world is messed up I like them up until the age of about 8 and then I think they should be locked in cages and fed only flat food.
Living Arrangements: I’m between houses… living with my parents. Yes. This is very sad.
Most Admirable Trait: Being tenacious to the point of insanity.
Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Running away and frightening my parents by going missing for 8 hours. I was hiding in the back garden and watched them going crazy. The guilt has never stopped.
Overnight hospital stays: Adenoidectomy when I was about six. Nothing exciting.
Phobias: Heights, spiders, the person on the outside of the window,
Quote: “I think of my own possibility. I think of the way it is wasted. The way it will always be wasted because I’m sitting here waiting for someone to love me as is.” - Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation OR “Q: What animal would you be if you could be an animal?
A: You already are an animal”
- Douglas Coupland
Reason to smile: Have you seen the sky lately? Even when it’s cloudy it’s beautiful
Siblings: One. Brother. Adam. Younger. Fantastic.
Time I wake up: 6:30-8:00 AM, on weekdays. 10.00a.m. - 2.00p.m. weekends. Depending on ‘In’ or ‘Hyper’
Unusual Talent or Skill: I can always pick out a harmony line, and can understand instruction manuals.
Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Brussels Sprouts.
Worst Habit: Refusal to admit I’m wrong even in the face of overwhelming evidence.
X-rays: Left Foot, left leg, left wrist and chest.
Yummy Stuff: Marks and Spencers Double Chocolate Belgian Cheesecake OR Starbucks muffin.
Zoo Animal I Like Most: Penguin. Camel. Penguin. Camel. Penmel. Caguin.
I’m so hopeless that I was in bed when it was still light last night too! I feel like a kid when I do that.
Loved your answer to “Accent” - “Saaaarfff London” cracked me up!
This is a v cool meme, I keep seeing it around. Might have to steal ;o)
Avitable - Yes, the two humps and the waddling are strangely endearing!
Dan - Are you okay? I take it you are being sedated for the pain. It’ll all be okay. I’m not sure how, but I’m sure it will be.
yorksdevil - thank God (or rather Mozilla) for that!
Selma - Funnily enough today was quite the major coffee day - and the sky ran through it’s whole range of cloud cover -lovely!
Penelope - It feels really indulgent - but last night? Totally necessary. The accent at work all day was ‘calm and collected Zen master’ - didn’t work very well!
martymankins - Penguins really are the… just the best creatures on earth. If it wasn’t ridiculously cruel I would love to have one just waddling about the house. Instant entertainment!
I Forgot
Actually I fell asleep.
But when I woke up for two minutes at about 3 am and remembered that there was seomthing I had forgotten... I couldn't remember that it was...
Reading Material
The one good thing about taking a lot of time going to and from work is that I have time to read again. I have been trawling second hand bookshops,...
The Box
Mum brought it home.
A small box, about 6" x 4" x 3".
Heavier than it looks.
Wrapped so tightly and never to be opened.
Izzy came home today.
I'm sorry, I just don't...
Desperate
For just a little excitement in my life that doesn't involve Scouts (even the news is against me on this) and fundraising and having to be a goody goody. ...
I love penmels.

Irrelevant to the post true, but I knew you would understand my torment.

Firefox 3.0 seems to be immune to your blog.

Caguins are my favourite too. What a fun meme. You and I share similar tastes in breakfasts and reasons to smile.
