seven things meme
Courtesy of Kathryn (thanks!), it seems it’s my turn to do the seven things thang, cause I know you’re all totally keen to find out ten things you didn’t know about me. This is actually quite hard, because I still have a circle of friends from school and my pre-library working days, plus I’m a blabbermouth who’ll tell anyone just about anything, so some of this might not be all that new to a number of people. Anyhoo, here goes:
- I have a secret (or not so secret, if you’ve been in my car) penchant for what I like to call nst nst music: big, bassy, electronic tunes of the slightly poppy variety. And I like to play it really, really loud. It’s my rev up tool and I have a concert in the car every morning on the way to work.
- I have been known to go away to a conference with more pairs of shoes than days away (like five pairs for three days, because it is of course imperative that you change shoes before dinner). (See 7)
- Sleep is a very high priority for me, and it is not uncommon for me to pull a twelve hour sleep on a weekend. On school nights, I MUST have eight hours or I am totally non-functional at work the next day.
- I think reality tv is the bomb. So you think you can dance, Big Brother, Idol, America’s next top model, Biggest loser… I love them all. I have been known to go to several Big Brother evictions a season, and I was devastated when they cancelled it. I pretend I like this stuff because I’m all intellectual and I like to see the playing out of social roles and issues etc on screen in an artificial environment, but really, I just find it endlessly entertaining.
- Still on reality tv: Antiques roadshow. Need I say more? Yes, maybe I should: sometimes (not always, I’m not that strange) I tape Antiques roadshow to watch later, because it’s not on at a time friendly to people who work.
- I am, in general, a shopper, and if I had an addiction (besides my Coca Cola addiction, which I seem to have pretty much broken, and my tv addiction, which I think is totally legitimate), it would be shopping. My particular poisons? Shoes, perfume, books, shoes and oh! Did I mention shoes? Not even sensible shoes. Oh no. I like to buy shoes that will only go with one outfit, because they are bright orange, or yellow, or electric blue. But that’s okay, because I’m always well coordinated (I hope).
- I like to make my own jewellery. It’s my only ‘hobby’ that doesn’t involve technology. I have so many earrings I could open my own shop. In fact, I once bought so many beads in one spree that the shop assistant offered to label everything with prices to help me when it came time to sell what I made. Ha ha! Silly lady - it’s always all for me!
