Random memery

Ok, after this, I think I'll have it.


What were you doing 10 years ago?

Smoking, drinking, dancing, studying and defining. It was a heady mix of madness and sadness as I shuttled between university and hospital. A demanding time.


Five snacks I enjoy in a perfect, non-weight gaining world:
5-carb city...

Cheese

Crisps

Chocolate

Cashews

Croissants



Five snacks I enjoy in the real world:

Ummm... fewer of the above. Ahem. But certainly fewer croissants.


Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Buy Rhi her yacht AND her castle

Buy a country house in England, an apartment in NY; and a beachfront home somewhere breath-taking and as far away from civilisation as is feasible.

Work infrequently doign something socially rewarding.

Donate to various charities.

Buy an exceptional wardrobe and hire a personal trainer to help me fit into it.



Five jobs that I have had:

Chambermaid - my least favourite position and never being role-played

Waitress - my favourite job - before I got too tired

Bookseller - my least economical job

Shop assistant at a quintessential chocolateboxville shop - bring on the chintz

Editor of a publishing company - where I became infected with tankitis



Five habits:

Picking my forehead - my least favourite trait

Lists - everything seems more manageable with a list for it

Crackberry

Cleaning on a Sunday

Hair-twirling - particularly during intense thought



Five places I have lived:

NY

Oxford

Cheltenham

Broadway

London

Not terribly cosmopolitan, but thankfully there's still time.

Though it's now time to head to bed...

Bemusings

I can't decide whether I'm unsurprised, surprised, or bemused about some previous postings of mine being recredited to someone else. Either way, I'm not entirely sure it's good writing "etiquette"...
But what can you do? Encourage oneself to write more new stuff I think. Especially as it's thankfully far less high-profile!

(Gin. Premium. Stateside. Barefooted and bitten. A diluted TG of late, it's true...)

All I got is my forty

Once again I bow to the wonder of memes to get me back on the road to bloggery. Seeing as I've been struggling to find my way out of the mental work bubble of late, I thought this was a perfect way to clear a path out of the whirlwind of circling fog.

So, to the meme...
