These are the rules:
One. Respond and rework - post your answers to these questions on your blog, but replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, and add one more question of your own;
Two. Tag five other untagged people.
What is your current obsession?
London- specifically North/East London. Black leather pants, peacoats, vintage biker boots. The local Sydney music scene. Emerging creative outlets.
What are you wearing right now?
My everyday uniform (variety #24876)
-black high-waisted skinny jeans, oversized cashmere jumper, vintage navy blazer, black ballet flats and thrifted scarf.
Why is today special?
Because today is a day devoted to creativity, writing and reading. It is delightfully self-indulgent, yet surprisingly productive.
Today provides an atmosphere with weather so crisp and cold, there is no option but to sip green tea cocooned by the heat of comfortable clothes, heaters and nourishing food.
What’s for dinner?
Eating out, so I am very much hoping either Thai or Mexican for some much needed spice to help bid farewell to this flu which keeps threatening to say hello.
What was the last thing you bought?
Latest Frankie magazine, gig tickets, peonies.
What is on your bedside table?
My bedside table is a small bookshelf, so in addition to containing all my favourite and most frequently thumbed books, it also contains CDs, DVDs, perfumes, photo frames, candles, an old fashioned alarm clock, a teacup and about three bottles of water.
What’s your style?
Monochromatic… a bedroom full of white, a wardrobe full of black.
Silver jewellery in excess, black nails, white hair. Always smiling.
What is your most challenging goal right now?
Working out who I am, and who I want to be. Once I have achieved this, the next challenge shall be how to get to be this person.
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where do you want it to be?
London. Kentish Town. Just off Kentish Town High Street in convenient proximity to Camden, Shoreditch and Bethnal Green, but still removed enough that my white terrace dream is a reality.
What would you like to have in your hands right now?
A semi-acoustic guitar, and the ability to play it.
What would you like to get rid of?
The feeling of being stuck in suburbia but wanting bigger things in the future. Future come now.
What was the last book you read?
Reread The Great Gatsby and Brideshead Revisited last week. My love of novels providing social commentary from more glamorous times past remains ever strong.
What languages can you speak? What languages do you want to be able to speak?
Speak English, desire the ability to speak Spanish. Unlike most other people, I have absolutely no desire to speak French or Italian.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A communicator. Whether through print, music or other format, I want to be able to convey opinion, discuss, listen and learn for the rest of my life (and be paid for it too please!)
What's one thing you're looking forward to?
Travelling to California and Canada in September- seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and checking out the emerging music and art worlds in Vancouver, Seattle and LA particularly.
What was your first (not current!) all-time favourite album?
Alanis Morrisette’s Jagged Little Pill. At the ripe old age of ten I was singing these not quite age appropriate lyrics. It still receives a cheeky play every few months all these years later.
Favourite memory of the last week?
Red Riders, Mess Hall and Cloud Control gig at Gaelic.
13 near and dear friendly folk gathering for tapas, sangria, reminiscing and creating more memories before strolling down Elizabeth St for a little more drinking, a lot more dancing and general good times.
Simple pleasures provide enough happiness to sustain you for days to follow.
I tag Miss L in this getting to know you exercise, plus of course anyone else who has a spare ten minutes to kill!
