It's all about me (and a bit of Kiss Reid).

We like little internet quizzes. They keep up our quota regularity, and they're awesome, as everyone loves to talk about themselves. I can write this, and you don't have to read it, but that's ok, as for five minutes, I was entirely self indulgent.

Oh, and I tag L.

What are the last three things I purchased?
1- Pepsi Max (maximum taste, no sugar… also on special for cheaper satisfaction of caffeinated dietary requirements).
2- cucumbers and organic baba-ganouj- my final meal! Truly…
3- The Scare’s Ooozevoodoo album- it’s quite good. Totally not my type, but you know, expanding boundaries and whatnot.

What are the last three songs you downloaded?
Well I bought The Scare from itunes? So that? And some Bridezilla? I was very disappointed. It offended my principle that ‘any music with a violin/viola in it is awesome’. Why would you do that?

What were the last three places you visited?
1- the gym! For weights and cardio induced death with D! She clearly hates me.
2- Paradise Beach, Avalon. My favourite place to do readings… it almost makes law tolerable.
3- I’m going to list somewhere not chronologically correct, but more interesting: Mexico! A month ago. It was amazing. Go to Mexico. Get fat on tortillas (they are really fatty! Hurtful truth).

What are your three favorite movies?
1-The Mighty Ducks trilogy (ok three movies). It takes me back to my childhood.

2- Cool Runnings (see above for justification). Most exciting moment of late: seeing the original bobsled used in the movie in a museum in Calgary, Canada. Oh, and then seeing the track used in the movie, and quoting “feel the rhythm, feel the ride…”
3- I kind of loved (500) Days of Summer. Mind you, I only saw it for The Smiths references and art deco Los Angeles architecture, so I was always going to be satisfied.


What are your three favorite possessions?
1- my ipod touch- all the functions of an iphone, but not a phone. Therefore not a wanker device.
2- my viola. I love it to bits, even though the bridge is broken and it needs restringing. It’s been with me for so long…
3- my little car which gets me everywhere in Sydney I could ever need to go, costs nothing to fill and gets about 600km a tank. I love you jellybean car.

What three things can you not live without?
1- Um, well practically: food. Ha no, um tomatoes, garlic, onion and chilli. The founding ingredients for any dish I cook.
2- Gin. Good gin. With lime, and plenty of ice. And no, this doesn’t make me an alcoholic.
3- Music. My ipod/computer/stereo/radio tend to be blaring whenever I am home. All at the same time. It’s a cacophony of tuneful joy.

What would be your three wishes?
1- a passionate love affair.. yeah truly. A destructive, painful, awful, beautiful romance which inspires poetry, hateful lyrics and stories dripping with regret, painted with rose coloured glasses and retrospect.
2- a job which makes me excited to wake up every morning.
3- to sing on stage, in front of an audience with an amazing band (I have a shortlist of favourites). Singing in my house just won’t suffice anymore.


What are three things you haven't done yet?
1- My masters degree.
2- Lived in Melbourne (soon soon!)
3- Lived in a hovel in Shoreditch (also soon soon. Hovel is indeed necessary).

What are your three favorite dishes?
1- Any combination of chilli, garlic, onion, tomato and a some bacon for good measure.
2- Carb-tastic spaghetti. Mmm…. Fat!
3- Any Mexican interpretation of pork dishes. They get pig… Swine Flu was Babe’s revenge.

What three celebrities do you want to hang out with the most?
1- umm so he’s not really a celebrity, but I have an unhealthy desire to get to know Kiss Reid, lead singer of The Scare. See them live, then try and argue with me. Kiss, if you see this, send off an email and all? Yeah- I recognise my profile picture is ugly, but it’s a bacon and pork shaped into a pig. As if that’s not awesome?

As if that isn't amazing? Dare to defy me... go on...


2- Russell Brand. We’d have all kinds of vegetarian, non substance based fun. It would be the opposite of my fun with Kiss, but perhaps more fun? I don’t know. Hey Kiss- PROVE ME WRONG!
3- I suppose Noel Fielding? Mainly so he and Russell can kiss, and I can watch. Is this wrong? Oh for sure. I don’t freaking care. I don’t think anyone is going to disagree with me after they’ve seen The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2006 (youtube it).

Raper capes are genius.


Name three things that freak you out...
1- lateness. I despise lateness. If I am not ten minutes early, I am late. Terrible.
2- Midgets. If you know me, you know my fear of midgets.
3- Beetroot. The devil food. It’s pink. Food is not pink. It stains and taints everything it touches. It also turns my hair pink. Which does tend to happen when your hair is white.

Name three unusual things you are good at.
1- Being on time. Always.
2- Getting in trouble at airport customs. I am always the subject of 'random' searches. Stripsearches in Singapore, bomb searches in London, confiscations at the Mexican border and private life searches flying into San Francisco.
3- Naming pets. I wanted to name my ex-boyfriend's kitten Darcy after the Austen character, as he was a little prim and stand-offish, yet eventually loving. He also had black and white markings which looked like a tuxedo. They named him Dodge. Ugh. I succeeded in naming the other kitten Bailey. Brilliant, as the ex is Irish, and the cat was the colour of the drink. My skills shine.

What are three things that you are coveting?
1- A ticket to Grizzly Bear at Becks Bar for Sydney Festival. Truly covetworthy I predict. Ebay is going to go MENTAL on Monday at about 9.05am.
2- A sexy electric violin. Yes please, thanks.
3- A plane ticket back to LA. I really kind of love LA. It’s dirty and gritty and superficial and horrid. Yet isolating and compelling. It’s an enigma I wish to get to understand.

  1. Thanks for the handy swine flu comment.
    It's always good to know and all.

    I don't think we've met random spambot, but I'm sure I appreciate your helpful advice on avoiding the swine and whatnot.
