Terribly unoriginal...

I pinched this from Mark's page. Copying is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Or something like that. In any case, I dig these kind of 'getting to know you' posts, so here goes.

10 years ago - 1995 - At Uni, second year of my fArts degree. Living in college. Loving life, I guess. Really felt like I had direction and was going to be this whizz bang journalist. I had a lot of dreams for myself. I was still shy and quiet, and very unsure of myself.

5 years ago - 2000- Working in Queer Undies. Probably the first journo job for me where I felt comfortable, but I was still lonely. I was starting to get itchy feet and there was this boy named Glen in Melbourne who was great to talk to via internet - never spoken to him on the phone or met him though. Wasn't interested in him and was trying to set him up with a friend of mine. Hrm, yeh it didn't work, huh!! :)

1 year ago - Was very discontent with my job at the recruitment company. Had a fabulous boss and one great colleague in Brisbane, but had inherited a new colleague who I couldn't work with. At this point, if we're talking end of September, I had tried for about two months to try and understand her and give her the benefit of the doubt. Was also pissed that my boss didn't seem to notice the rift forming. Started seriously considering moving jobs.

Yesterday - Working hard at work, feeling on top of things. Was feeling a bit wheezy, like back in June when I apparently had Whooping Cough or some nonsense. Took Clio for her walkies and went to bed feeling a bit spun out from overdosing on the Brycanol, or whatever it is.

Tomorrow - Hopefully won't wake up with a headache, like I did this morning. Tomorrow, i have two meetings and get to leave a little early to go get my hair cut and coloured. Yay. Hopefully some pampering, as it's my belief that all hairdressers should pamper, and not just cut and colour.

5 snacks I enjoy - Tim Tams, Gaiety, Connaseuirs Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream, Chocolate Cake and to be politically incorrect, because back when I was a kid, it was called Golliwog Hedgehog! YUM!

5 bands/artists that I know the lyrics to most of their songs - Ben Lee (not really a band), Bon Jovi, Van Morrison (maybe), Tori Amos (thank Uni black depressive phase). That'll do.

5 things I would do with $100,000,000 - Give parts of it to my family and those close to me. Invest some. Buy a nice house and a nice holiday. However, ensure that my future meant I didn't have to work another paid day in my life!

5 locations I'd like to run away to - Italy (Positano for Margaret), France, Canada, Colorado (Grand Canyon) and Greece.

5 bad habits I have - Biting fingers (nails and all), tensing up when concentrating thus giving myself a head/neck ache, biting my lip until it ulcerates, lack of motivation, being sensitive and jumping feet first.

5 things I like doing - Sleeping, reading, watching tv/movies, photography and watching storms.

5 TV shows I like(d) - House, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, 4400 and Iron Chef.

5 movies I like - Grosse Point Blank, Say Anything, Anne of Green Gables, The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Office Space.

5 famous people I would like to meet - John Cusack, Julia Roberts, Dalai Lama, Drew Barrymore and I'm going to come back to this one, because it's important.

5 biggest joys at the moment - Being with Glen, my dog Clio and the way my cats purr and smooch all over me in the mornings or when they want food, my freedom after work, getting a haircut tomorrow and the thunderstorm occurring outside my house right now.

5 favorite toys - My ipod, my palm pilot, my Canon camera, Honey Bear (my childhood bear) and my scanner (this one's pretty lame).
