... via the interweb.
I’ve worked it out, this summer ennui, it’s got to be Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. Pretty much all the symptoms apply, except for the only one that I’d like, weight loss. Bah.
In an attempt to “jolly” myself out of it, I’ve done a meme. It didn’t work. Double BAH. Roll on lovely autumn.
1. Do you still talk to the person you last had a thing with?
The last person I had a “thing” with was Mr Brown. I was speaking to him this very morning. I said, “see you tonight poppet”.
2. Have you ever seen your best friend cry? Yep.
3. What kind of vitamins did you take as a kid? Orange & Lemon flavoured ones, they were so tasty I used to sneak them. Also some sort of vitamin tonic I only know as “giraffe medicine”, because of the giraffe on the box.
4. What is the last thing you ate? Delicious leftovers, spinach lasagne.
5. Did you get any compliments today? Oooh, yes, a co-worker returning from holidays said nice things about my new short haircut.
6. Have you ever gone to court? I used to work at one, so yes, but not for being naughty. I did jury duty once, that was fun.
7. What does the seventh text message in your inbox say? I delete so there aren’t any.
8. Are you friends with your neighbours? Not friends, but not enemies either - well, except for loud talking show-off lady, but I keep it nice.
9. Do you have any regrets? Wrong time of the year to be asking me this question.
10. Do you remember your first kiss? Oh yes, I also remember what I said afterwards, “ick, that was very wet”.
11. What towns have you lived in? Sydney, Canberra, Ballarat, Ryde (NY), hellish Goulburn for six months.
12. What's the last piercing you got? My nose, when I was 29. After Mr Brown refused to replace the 3rd lost diamond stud, I let it close over.
13. When was the last time you drove more than 15 minutes? Personally, actually me driving? I cannot for the life of me remember. But I was a passenger on Saturday when we got stuck in traffic on Norton St.
14. Have you ever thrown up from drinking? Yes but not for years and years.
15. Do you get jealous easily? No, but if severely provoked, watch out (you know who I mean dwarf lady).
16. Have you ever played Spin the Bottle? Once and when it looked like I was going to have to kiss creepy boy, I walked away.
17. Toilet papered someone’s house? No, but I once arranged for the house of a particularly irritating fellow to be egged – cost me a case of beer.
18. Have you ever had a crush on your brother or sister's friends? Good grief NO.
19. Have you ever gone to a beach? Ok, yes, I grew up in Australia, we spent summers at the beach. I haven’t been to one lately, not for years. I don’t do tanning or swimming with waves and things that want to bite or sting you. Also, sand, ick.
20. Do you remember your teacher's names from primary school? Two from primary school, Mr Osmotherly(sp?) and Mrs Garret. I loved Mrs Garret and invited her to my 5th birthday party.
21. How good is your eyesight? Up close, brilliant, long distance, all fuzzy.
22. Would you ever want to swim with the sharks? Shit no – see question 19.
23. What would you say if I told you I was in love with your brother? I’d remind you he’s happily married to a very nice young woman.
24. Have you ever been out of your country? Several times.
25. Have you seen your best friend naked? Well it depends on best friend, if I was to get all mush and said Mr Brown was my best friend, then yes. Otherwise, no.
26. What's the best wedding you've been to? Mine (oh just call me Pollyanna and KILL me now)
27. Would your parents be mad if you got arrested for fighting? I think disappointed - but I’d probably not tell – no longer living at home nor requiring mummy to pay the bail money.
28. Where are your siblings right now? Queensland, the lunatics.
30. Do you have a Honda, Toyota or Nissan? No.
31. What's the last dream you can remember? Last night’s, dogs were involved somehow, and I had a rather lovely red frock, but that’s all I remember.
32. Who was the last person to call you? Mr Brown.
33. What time did you wake up this morning? 4am.
34. What are you doing this weekend? Flopping about limply complaining about the heat, poking things into the dirt, NOT celebrating Australia Day in any way shape or form (other than taking advantage of the public holiday, obvy).
35. What does the 5th text message on your phone say? See question 7.
36. Do you drunk dial/txt? No.
37. What's in your back pocket? I’m wearing a skirt, no back pocket.
