Random facts meme

I suppose I'd better do the 20 facts meme since I've been tagged by both [livejournal.com profile] lizamanynames and [livejournal.com profile] matildabj now.

Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts. I won't tag anyone; besides, a lot of you have already done it.

  1. I have one Greg and three cats.
  2. I'm freezing (our almost summery spring has suddenly turned cold and windy).
  3. I'm wearing my khaki jacket which Greg calls my Afrika Korps jacket.
  4. It looks the part too with the silver palm-tree badge I found at a second-hand stall.
  5. I can do the Bewitched twitch.
  6. It doesn't work.
  7. I hate shopping unless it's at a craft market.
  8. I have a home-made B7 calendar beside my computer.
  9. September is Dayna with a nebula behind her.
  10. I didn't fancy Desperate Housewives due to the impossibly beautiful characters, but people here talked me into it and I'm loving it with its mystery and the deadpan funny voice-over.
  11. I'm also loving Hustle and Doctor Who though I've already seen the latter once already.
  12. I'm wearing a colourful stripey scarf, but it's not a proper Doctor Who one.
  13. My favourite dessert is creme brulee. Which I hardly ever have.
  14. My family moved so much when I was a child, I went to three primary schools and three high schools.
  15. I have a physics degree.
  16. I hate rain.
  17. I have brown eyes and auburn hair It started off very ginger and gets darker every year.
  18. Our broadband connection is being updated to a really fast one this weekend; if it's the mess-up it was last time, I may be off-line for a couple of days.
  19. This could be a Good Thing as a friend is coming to stay soon and I need to do some housework.
  20. And write my unfinished stories. I have two, plus I'm behind on [livejournal.com profile] theatrical_muse responses for Vila and Kerril.

Ooh, fast broadband, yay! Good luck getting up and running with that.

Thanks. Yes, I too am an internet addict.

Something about "I have one Greg and three cats" makes me giggle uncontrolably.

I can do the Bewitched twitch.

I am JEALOUS!

It was meant to make people laugh.

I didn't know not everyone can do the weird things I can with my face. :-P

Well, I bet I can do DIFFERENT weird things with my face, I just wish I could do that one.

Oh, and raise one eyebrow. I totally wish I could do that. My inner Smith feels insuficient.

I can raise my right eyebrow. And as I had Vila say once, "I can do both at the same time!"

I can mainly do a lot of odd things with my mouth which is very mobile: the twitch is a mouth twitch which the nose sort of goes along with. :-P

This is what Elizabeth Montgomery and Nicole Kidman do too, but I'm sure they sped up EM's.

Wow - I now have an odd urge to watch old Bewitched reruns.

I loved them as a kid though I could never understand what she saw in boring stuffy Darren. And why didn't Darren use her powers? After all, that would have been as funny: he could ask for the wrong thing or the spells could still go spectacularly wrong.

Damn, maybe that's something they'll do in the film?

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-09-10 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen the trailer for the film: it's actually about them doing a remake and the actor who plays Darren falling for the woman who plays Samantha (cast because she could do the twitch) and finding out she's a real witch. Fluff, but it sounds fun.

Hee! It actually does!

Homemade B7 calendar--that's a sure sign of a serious fan!

It's actually a professionally-produced calendar in thick black paper with blank sheets for you to stick pictures on. This is the second year I've done it. DIY calendar might be a better description.
