Yep ... it's another meme.
Don't tut and roll your eyes like that ... I'm a working girl now (not a prozzie, I hasten to add) and I'm tired!
I pinched this one from Pru Jones's blog ... it's actually very similar to the one I did last week, but some of the new Q's are fun so I thought I'd have a go. Not having posted yesterday and being quite weary tonight I'm looking to just post something quick and easy ... or "Blog 'n Go" as I like to think of it.
Also, apologies to the lovely bloggers I follow (if I haven't commented on your blog for a few days), I'm still getting back into a routine and have just been too tired to read and comment much the last few nights. Catching up on my blog-reading list is top of my weekend agenda though, I promise.
So on with the meme:
1. What are your current obsessions?
This week it's sleep (I need more please), Chunky Peanut Butter KitKats (Mmmm), stick men pictures and ... something else, which I'm not going to tell you about :P (nosey buggers!)
2. What item from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
Hmmm ... can't decide between my goat's hair poncho and my asbestos boilersuit ...
J/k ... probably my jeans or my Adidas "Superstar" trainers (not very exciting ... sorry)
3. What's for dinner?
Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni (it was yumtious!)
4. Last thing you bought?
Some cat food ... since she won't eat spiders I suppose I better feed the snotty little furball
5. What are you listening to?
The new Bats For Lashes album "Two Suns" (thank you Greta for alerting me to their coolness x)
6. If you were a god/goddess, who would you be?
Probably Ishtar, the Babylonian version of Aphrodite ... she was the goddess of love, war, sex and fertility which, except for war, is some pretty good stuff right there!
Wikipedia says "Ishtar was above all associated with sexuality: her cult involved sacred prostitution" ... I always wanted to be a brothel keeper! Just call me "Madam".
7. Favourite holiday spots?
The Scilly Isles and Paris for places I've been to, but I'd love to travel around Italy (especially the lakes), New Zealand (Hobbit country) and Scotland too (particularly the Loch Ness area).
8. Reading right now?
No! Can't you see I'm busy blogging ... oh! er ... "Amphibious Thing: The Adventures of a Georgian Rake" by Lucy Moore ... a biography of Lord Hervey who was George II's vice chamberlain, one of the most prominent society figures of the time ... and a bit of a "lad". Interesting stuff, I love the Georgian period of British history.
9. Four words to describe yourself:
Scatty, friendly, intelligent, feminine
10. Guilty pleasure?
"Love Shack" by the B52's :/ ... it's pure cheese, but I LOVE IT! So come on! And bring your jukebox money!
11. Who or what makes you laugh until you're weak?
This pic ...
(thanks to Greta again ... she has the coolest stuff on her blog)
and this (I've already posted this once, but I seriously love it, it makes me hysterical, no matter how many times I watch it :P) ...
and this pic (and the person who sent it to me) ...
12. Who or what makes you so angry you could scream?
Smart Cars (click on the link to see the full rant)
People who speak unnecessarily loudly, especially on trains ... the guys with laptops who constantly have a mobile phone glued to their ear and have loud, lengthy conversations about statistics and mergers, all the while looking around to see who they've impressed, not realising that we all think they're really just IT help desk dorks.
Darts ... what a crap game! I can't believe they televise it ... who wants to watch sweaty guys with huge beer bellies in dodgy, short-sleeved shirts, necking down pints and chucking stuff? ... except for other sweaty guys with huge beer bellies in dodgy short-sleeved shirts ...
13. Planning to travel to next?
:( Nowhere! I haven't made any plans as I was focusing on getting a job. Any invitations?
14. Best thing you ate or drank recently?
Circus Peanuts ... j/k ... we don't have those here, I just wanted to freak out Mr Condescending
15. When did you last get tipsy?
Hehe ... last weekend
16. Favourite ever film?
Pearl Harbour
(I love sarcasm)
17. Care to share some wisdom?
Don't pick up what you can't put down ;)
18. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?
My height :( I'm 5'6.5" which is slightly above average height for a girl. It's not so bad if I wear flat shoes, but if I'm going out and want to wear a decent pair of killer hot heels then I'm bordering on 5'9" :/ I look like the effin Jolly Green Giant!
19. What are your blog turn-ons and turn-offs?
Turn-on's ... humour is the big one, I'm a total sucker for people who can make me laugh. Also creativity and a touch of weirdness *looks at Joyless Prole*
Turn-off's ... Hmmm ... I guess people who don't have anything original to say, who lack humour and have a serious case of bottom-dwelling.
20. Apparently I'm supposed to add/change a question, but I can't think of anything amusing ... so let's try a bit of audience participation, you ask me a question via comments ... come on, what would you like to know?
So that's it for now, hopefully I'll be back to full-on blogging form after I've had some sleep. I'm not tagging anyone, you know the drill, if you fancy a go at this, then have at it.
Bon nuit x

Nice work on the meme!
Smart, intelligent, and a proclivity for stick men pictures... makes one want to toss you on the shoulder and jet off to Como...
Well don't let me stop you! :P
Thanks Eric ... have a great weekend :)
Tiiiiiin Rooof. Rustin'
That's my Love Shack imitation.
That was pretty damned good, Dr Z!
I'd hi-five you ... if it wasn't so terribly uncool
circus peanuts taste like vomit...
going to check out "Two Suns"...
that gerbil(?) is hilarious!
''Darts ... what a crap game! I can't believe they televise it ...''
So true. Or how about a nice endless round of snooker? - Can't believe they televise that either - unless its as a cure for insomnia...
I would like to know...
-what your other obsession is this week that you would not reveal.
-when you are gonna take another pic of your cat (I like when they look snobby like yours)
-when will you respond to my edward woodward poem I wrote for you
-what color are your eyes
-when will you tell us more about the hearing aid retards
CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER KIT-KATS?? I take back everything I've ever said about English cuisine.
If this is what your half-assed blogging is like, I give up.
Don't think we're forgetting about the obsession you are keeping to yourself.
Okay, a question. If you could go back in time to witness any historical event, which would you choose and why?
1. Never apologize for being tired from working.
2. The crazy coloring kid, great!
3. My son sent me the "danger" critter ages ago, and it still makes me laugh.
4. We're the same height.
5. Enjoy your week-end, kiddo. xo
My mum drives a Smart and actually I quite like them.
And every January the darts is on telly and I love it.
I guess our budding friendship may be over.
But I know who sent you that picture of Penrith so I'm guessing you don't much mind.
lol Peggy ... then I'm extra glad we don't have them here ... and it's a gopher. I'm a gopher loving freak ... as well as a squirrel loving freak :P
Nanc ... I nearly put Snooker! Urgh! I used to dread the end of the year when the BBC bombard viewers with endless, dreary hours of coverage. :/
Mr C!!!! I said "a question" ... singular! But here goes ...
I'm not telling you :P
I'll try to find another cat pic, just for you
Where is this Edward Woodward poem??? If you've really written one I may have to worship you for all eternity!
My eyes are chocolate brown
Hopefully sometime soon ... I do have a couple of amusing little anecdotes to tell already ;)
Words ... they're a gastronomical phenomenon! I take it you don't have those there?
I would go back and witness the French Revolution. It's my fave period of history and I wrote my Humanities dissertation on it ... plus it must have been spectacularly gruesome! :P
Diane ... thanks for the great comment :) That colouring kid is just the perfect pic. And so glad to hear you're the same height ... borrowing your clothes will be even better now! :P
Have a lovely weekend too xx
Mr S ... Oops! :/ But nothing could stop our budding friendship ;)
Ed's Note: I sent Mr S an e-mail questioning his love of darts, his reply was "Darts is ace! It's like sumo with added polyester" Hahaha ... just needed to share the greatness :P
argh, i hate darts, and lawn bowls and snooker. those games are only fun when... ok,they are never fun!
my question is:
if you got stranded on an island with 15 strangers, what would you do first:
e.g. make friends with the natives,elect tribal leaders, build a signal to wave down passing ships, build an internet tower so you can blog about your experiences, *insert your own answers*
oh, also, do you have a boyfriend? (i feel we need to get some cyber girl chat going ;)lol)
Me ... Great question! I'd work on my tan ... although the internet tower would definitely have to be built ... but then I'd have 15 potential minions to do that for me :P
No, no boyfriend at the moment ... I am to relationships what Phil Spectre is to good hairstyling and nightclub hostesses ;)
Great! I wanna see that snobby cat again.
I don't remember where that poem is but I'll write it here. (Keep in mind I really have no clue who edward is)
Edward Woodward,a chap so jolly, had none but jelly and fags in his shopping trolley.
Hahaha ... oh, very good, Mr C! :P And thank you!
He's the bloke who was in The Wicker Man (old version) and The Equaliser (think that's what it was called)
My friend told me a joke about him yesterday:
Why does Edward Woodward have so many D's in his name?
Because otherwise he'd be called Ewar Woowar (pronounced Eewah Woowah)
Hahaha ... ok, it's totally lame, you have to say it out loud to really appreciate it :P
Haha you brits are much much funnier than americans think that's for sure. I love it!
Pearl Harbour.
That made me grin like a monkey with a banana.
:P
Mo ... that's because you're awesome ... sorry, I mean awesummm
I love it when people "get" me :P
I about fell right off my chair laughing at the "you may be sucked off" sign!! Where on earth is that posted?! That is hilarious!!
Cora ... it's Penrith, Cumbria in England :P I'd love to know if the person responsibile for that sign knew what they were saying!
That sign is hysterical. Also I liked the one you had with the babies for $5.
Years I've said that, if ever I had a business of my own, it would be a) a kidsshop full of kiddy and frilly stuff I would like even more than the kids themselves or b) a Madam in a gay-brothel ...
I would see myself, behind the bar, in the middle, with 2 hunks to the left and right of me, naked torso and leather trouser with a peep-butt-opening (so I can pinch a cheak from time to time) and the till in front of me with a little lamp so I can count my well earned money each hour.
Only gay people would be allowed in this club or member-card holders (for you girls Diane, Kate and many more) and Dr Zibbs would have to be my bouncer.
Every hour a dance routine would spice up the club and the worst dancer would be voted away from the scene...
Good idea or good idea ?
Now, can you guys/girls give me name for this club ?
I am having serious doubts now in selling my shop and opening this club next week !
Mr C ... glad you like them, the internet is such a wondrous place, eh? :P
Dominica ... oh please, please, PLEASE open a gay brothel, just like you described!!!! I LOVE the way your mind works! I know we're not gay, but Me and Diane would make seriously awesome go-go dancers ... and Zibbs would make a hilarious bouncer! Hahaha, I love the mental images I got from your comment! Thanks for that :)
Hahahahaha,
just watched the video - I guess I clicked on it like 7 times ....that cute but oh so serious face !!
Hahahaha...
Wouldn't that be great to have on a video wall in the shop here ?
Every time some nasty kid isn't behaving ; the video would turn on !!
LOL LOL
Haha ... honestly, when I first found it I watched it at least 15 times in a row, I could hardly breathe at one point, I was laughing so hard. I had to force myself to stop watching it eventually because the neighbours had gone extremely quiet and I suspected I was scaring them with my maniacal cackling :P
Girl, you make me want to go to Penrith and get sucked off.
lol ... I'll go with you sas, we'll have lunch first and make a day of it :P
When my name popped up out slipped "Is she implying I'm weird?". Which right now is particularly funny. I wish I could take a pic of myself, though it's actually one of my dogs which makes it hilarious. I just gave her a haircut (sort of on accident) and I think I will probably be the first man arrested by the animal police for a grooming related offense.
I like that coloring pic, too. And who doesn't love coloring, really.
Well you know I meant weird in a good way, right? :P
Oh, please post a pic of your poor pooch!
Woah ... that was a lot of P words!
I like your holiday ideas!! Sound wonderful
I am 5'9".... so always flats for me. I feel like a freak when I wear heals. I do get the looks from the guys.. but it is just too tall.
Hit 40 ... I totally sympathise!
"Stick men pictures" cracked me up. My Senior year of High School they had "artist" pages in the yearbook..I was all over that with my stick men pictures. What? It's art.
Oh so guilty with that B-52 love...there is just something about Love Shack that is SO appealing. "Tin roof...rusted" I love that part.
Chunky Peanut Butter Kit Kats? I feel like i'm TOTALLY missing out on something delish right now...
word to describe you: Spunky!
xoxo
Happy Monday, Kate!
Harmony ... pleeeeeeeeeeease post some of your stick men pics!!!! I seriously can't get enough of them! :P
Lopez ... OMG! They are TO DIE FOR!!!
Hahaha ... what did I tell you about using that word?!?!?!?!? :P
Happy Monday, Jaimie :) x
dude! I fuckin love coloring too!
~E ... that kid is totally awesome lol He gives me instant smiles and chuckles
Thanks for doing that. Great answers!
The coloring pic made me snicker too.
Hey, I'm 5'9 and love being tall. I wear four inch heels proudly. It may intimidate the men a bit, but that's good for them. Don't worry about looking like a giant, babe. I bet your legs look fantastic in heels. Show 'em off and own your hotness.
As my friend Wanda always says, "make them dawgs beg for it." Then she snaps her fingers all sassy. I like her attitude.
Pru ... you're welcome :) it was fun
lol well I'm not the foxy goddess that you are, but heels definitely are extremely flattering ... and I just love them :P
lol I like her attitude too!
*snaps fingers trying to be all sassy-like*
Hmm whats that obsession you are hiding??? Cmon now, all friends here...spillll!!!:)
Hehe nooooo ... it's delicious and makes me want to keep it all to myself ... for now :)
