7 facts meme

Yes, it's another meme. I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] bigdamnxenafan to:

List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.

  1. This meme also said that I had to tag 7 people, and not refuse to. I don't like tagging, and I don't take orders. I'd even think twice about an order to do something I'd otherwise do if asked nicely, though in this case I still wouldn't. Because I don't tag.

  2. I have a physics degree. This is no use to me, and neither is any of my experience.in other fields. I should have left school and learned how to drive forklifts. Forklift drivers can always get work here for some reason.

  3. I loathe slimy food. This means things like jelly and overcooked vegetables and overripe fruit. It makes me gag.

  4. I can't think straight if I can hear a conversation, or a song with lyrics. I have to talk out loud to myself to override the distraction if I'm trying to concentrate on something.

  5. I can raise my big toe independently of my other toes, which means I'd still be able to walk without big toes. Apparently most people can't. (I can also move my head sideways like an oriental dancer, do the Vulcan salute and the Bewitched twitch, and raise one eyebrow. I don't ever think to do the eyebrow thing though.)

  6. My car's number plate is LIBR8R.

  7. I have three cats, all monochromatic: a black-and-white, a silver tabby, and a sepia-coloured Burmese. This was not planned.

*high fives hatred of slimy food*

hey, how are you? *offers cookies*

It took me a while to realise what all my hated foods had in common. :-P

I'm OK. I feel a bit blah because I have to do the work from hell tomorrow and, I think, every day this week, and it's torture in summer.

I should go to bed now.

awww *hugs, pokes Vila to make you tea and ice cream*

One day I will come to NZ again and make you a super fun Vila-themed cheer up party of win! This is a plan. It is sunny today so I am very happy even though I don't want to sit at my laptop and work but I have to. Oh well.

I'd feel a lot better if I had a job. I just feel crap about myself. Nothing I've learned or done seems to count for anything. I have more jobs saved online to apply for but I can't make myself do it at the moment.

I must knit a big Vila (size of a cat) that I can cuddle. The cubs love to be stroked in situ but aren't lap cats at all. I did have a nice cuddle in bed this morning with Jasmin, who lay beside me squeezed up against me. :-)

I'd be like that a lot if it wasn't for the fact that I have to fill out a form, the current one of which had to go in today because the Australia Day public holiday tomorrow. Robbed me of a day to think properly about what might, on the off-chance, impress someone. Not that I expect to hear anything other than a 'no' from those companies, if I hear anything at all :-(

Yea, same. I did apply for about four more jobs needing web expertise in the hopes that mine might make them at least look.

[Edit] And I've already got a no.

It's sunny today too, but too hot for me to go out again and I forgot to buy some things. Damn.
