Oooh, Kate tagged me for a meme and I haven’t done it. Bad. OK.
six things you didn’t know about me
(the six ties in quite nicely with the blog, don’t you think? Very thoughtful of these meme people.)
1. I pace around when I think. I always have done, according to my parents, who used to find me doing laps of the coffee table while daydreaming. I transferred this to the trampoline when we got one, but I have been sans trampoline for lo these many years. Now I often find myself pacing up and down the hallway, sometimes breaking into a skip-step if I’m thinking of something really interesting.
2. I don’t have underarm hair. Well, I have like four or five hairs under each arm. Weird, I know. Useful, however, as it means I don’t get that big stubbly patch (or indeed, have to shave at all). I think it’s my super-power.
3. I hate the phone. Hate it. When I came back from the USA I forgot about my mobile phone and went three days without it. Completely forgot that such a thing existed. Only the fact that I was sent a work-related text cued me in to the absence. In a related point, I am the world’s slowest texter and much prefer Bluetoothing my phone to the laptop so I can type a full sentence, with correct pronunciation and capitalization, on an actual keyboard. I know this is lame and that nobody cares but me… but I still can’t do it.
4. I have a blank diary that I’m using as a five-year diary, because I think these five years will be full of change and it will be fun to look back and see what I was doing two, three, years ago. Except I can’t make myself change. What? It’s so comfortable here!
5. I hate handguns. Shotguns, hunting guns – fine. Just handguns freak me out. They seem so menacing and singular of purpose: to hurt people.
6. I will often buy books and DVDs and not read them/watch them, because I’m happy just owning them. Actually, scratch the books. I read all my books. But I must have a dozen movies I’ve never watched. Note to self: watch The Big Lebowski. You are the only person in the world who hasn’t seen it.
I haven’t seen it either. If that helps. Also, I feel very freaked out in the presence of handguns, and am deeply unhappy that our police now carry them. I mean, I can see that directing traffic when the lights are broken could be annoying and possibly slightly dangerous, but I’m not sure they need to bear arms to do it.
Also, just noticed the post title and to that I say “murrrr-dah”
Watch it. Then we can quote it together in a manner annoying to passers by.
“Well that’s, like… your opinion…”
See? Totally annoying, right? but so, so fun.
The big who?
Interesting 6 facts!
I’m envious of #2 and sooo with you on #3 :-)
That’s a great list! This Tag is going around at the moment, for sure. I got done about three weeks ago :) heh heh.
I know what you mean by guns… I was born-and-bred in the big bad city, and guns were an anathema. HOWEVER, now I live in the country surrounded by farmers, a gun is essential for putting down injured stock or killing snakes, things like that. it’s just another tool like a plow or something for a farmer. i never had that appreciation before i moved out here. But I still don’t like ‘em personally.

You know, it’s an exceedingly dull film. You are missing nothing. I fell asleep both times I tried to watch it.
