'These foolish things remind me of you.' - Bryan Ferry, These Foolish Things
Writer's block so here's a list of random bullshit:
- I'm 5 ft 11. In England I felt like a giant. Now that I live in Holland I know that the English are just short.:)
- I have naturally curly hair that goes very straight if the weather is wrong (it doesn't matter what kind of wrong, just wrong!)
- I got my driver's licence when I was 32. I just had my first car accident.
- I believe in second chances.
- And true love.
- I never thought I would. How things change.
- Apparently I talk posh and plummy and sound like I should be sipping G&Ts on the verandah.
- It must be true because my drink of choice is gin & tonic. Or if I'm not drinking, just plain tonic. All that quinine from my childhood must have made an impression.
- I've had bilharzia but never malaria. (See, quinine works).
- I loooooove to dance.
- I think that airports hold the emotions of everyone who ever passed through them.
- I work in an airport. Go figure.
- My mom used to recite this rhymne to me when I was little: 'There was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid'.
- I don't like team sports much. I'm better pitched against my own best time.
- I find it hard to say no to anything so I'm overcommitted and invariably disappoint people.
- My favourite country out of those I've visited so far is Mozambique.
- I'd love to visit Zanzibar. About ten years ago I watched a travel documentary about a cycle tour (like this one or this one) around the island and it's stuck with me.
- I grew up in a landlocked country.
- Subsequently, I love the sea. Islands especially. Landlocked sounds so final. Like a country in prison.
- I'm turning 35 in January 2009. I wonder if I will feel different with only 15 years left to 50.
- I'm a work in progress. I lost about a million kilos between 2005 and 2008. I'd like to lose 10 more.
- I don't have a favourite movie, or a favourite song. I have a life soundtrack.
- Childbirth was incredibly difficult but not nearly as difficult as being a good mother.
- I grew up with a maid.
- Ergo, I like ridiculous things like having my sheets ironed.
- I like eating in bed. I also like carpet picnics on rainy days.
- I leave my clothes in heaps on the floor. Despite this, I think I'm tidy.
- I know lots of useless stuff, like the Latin names for plants, how to make obscure things like sausages, how to fold a fitted sheet.
- I'd have liked a really big family.
- I wonder all the time whether I'll have enough time to do everything I want to do.
I'm sorry - comments are disabled.
