Meme of Procrastination
9/3/11 19:02![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
amoamaI am incapable of not filling in forms. From lilithilien.
Also I did it yesterday but didn't post because *shrug* FML but turns out yesterday was way sparklier than today so you get yesterday with today's tipbits thrown in.
1. Make a list of 5 things that you can see without getting up.
Scans room desperately for things that make me seem interesting...
....
Nope.
-My laundry
-2 month old birthday balloon still valiantly sticking to the ceiling
-Pretentious Roland Barthes quoting mug from pretentious uni days (no mint hot chocolate left)
-2 lollies (Important update: there is now only one lolly)
-Henry the Hoover
2. How do you style your hair?
I get out of bed and I wash it, what do you want from me? Brushing is for wimps - that is a life philosophy. (See: I have moved on from Barthes).
3. What are you wearing now?
PJs and a duvet. (Still true)
4. What's your occupation?
The more I think about it the less I can answer this question.
5. Name a favorite something (flower, rock, food, film, song, etc.) that you think no one knows?
Licking marmite off the knife. It's not that no one knows about it, just very few admit it.
6. Who was the last person you hugged?
Deesha and Lucy who I used to work with and who I miss everyday. (Now factually incorrect: today I hugged a young turkish girl who learnt English in Wales and speaks with a beautiful Welsh valleys accent. She looks after her whole family and is an all round megastar. I hugged her twice. I secretly heart her.)
7. What is/was for dinner?
Korean pancakes. (thinking of having pancake day pancakes now though).
8. What did you do today?
-Went on tumblr/was late for work. These two things mean the same thing. (Read porn, was late for work).
-Wrote letters, read witness statements, spoke to clients, other random work stuff, ranted about the Home Office being torturous bastards, went to a boring meeting and scowled, found my boss’s lost earring and got called heroic when I returned it. (Variations on this theme. No heroism.)
-Met girls I used to work with for coffee in London Review Bookshop.
-Saw actor Ben Whishaw in the same bookshop. Stared at him a lot, spoke extra loud while trying to sound intelligent. Tried not to think about this:
Or this:
Or you know, THIS:
-Failed
-Ate the aforementioned Korean pancakes.
-Came home and was compelled to fill in meme as if it was some kind of benefit form.
9. Favourite cupcake flavour?
Carrot.
10. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?
Beth, because even though I always wanted to be Jo, I loved Beth.
11. What was the last item that you bought (that wasn't food)?
Flight to Geneva for the weekend after next! Hello Switzerland!
12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Right now? NZ. Is that creepy? Even if Aldi and Lil weren’t causing an Eskimo convergence gravitational pull and there weren’t fairy mobiles there, Middle Earth is my mecca.
I really want to go to Sri Lanka to visit a friend this time next year though so money for that would be ace.
13. Favourite type of music?
Anything to sing to.
14. Favourite novel?
The official shortlist is as follows:
Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces.
Mahmoud Darwish, A Memory For Forgetfulness.
George Elliot, Middlemarch.
15. Your favorite pair of pajamas?
Any T-shirt.
16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
Piano. I can do One Enchanted Evening but that is it.
17. Who do you want to bitchslap the most?
Nope, no one. But if you asked who do I want to knee in the balls I have a long list.
18. If you could read a loved one's mind for 24 hours, would you?
Absolutely, my granny’s. She is quite deaf and has alzheimers and I’m convinced we are missing out on 9/10s of the witty, rude comments she has in her mind. She is shameless. I want in.
19. What are you looking forward to the most?
JUNE.

9/3/11 22:42 (UTC)And now I need to write. Why is that gif of Ben & Matthew so engrossing?
(no subject)
12/3/11 10:30 (UTC)I used to read it/re-enact it with my next door neighbour and my sis and now I can't remember if I was always Jo because no one else wanted to be or because I never let anyone else be.
My sister is awesome though and whenever she wants to encourage me to write she asks how 'My Jess' is coming along. She insists that be the title of my novel (when/if I ever write one).

9/3/11 22:46 (UTC)As for Ben Whishaw.... soz, did you say anything? I seem to have been physically sucked into your picspam and now I can't get out. GUH.
Love your answer to 4. I concur.
(no subject)
12/3/11 10:34 (UTC)Perhaps the Ben gif is an element of the portal - this is the kind of research that will lead to break throughs is teletransportational science I am sure.
(no subject)
10/3/11 08:08 (UTC)Word. I play with it and put it up and take it down, but that's mostly because it's long and I'm fidgety, but it doesn't get brushed. Ever. Who could be bothered?
And Tumblr is downright evil. In that it's awesome.
Also, that .gif. I'm going to be watching it forever. I don't blame you for failing to ignore that. Hnnnggggg. ALSO, THAT SCARF. AND THAT SWEATER. UNF.

10/3/11 22:05 (UTC)...
*stares at gif*
...
erm, I have to watch that movie eventually!!!
*googles Ben Whishaw* how come I haven't seen even one of his films??
Oh, carrot-cupcake! Is it made with nuts? (or plain cake with marzipan-carrot on top??) Why is carrot-cake always made with nuts so that it only tastes like nut-cake??
*scrolls up to stare at gif*
(no subject)
12/3/11 10:43 (UTC)Also Ben Whishaw was amazing in a BBC drama called Criminal Justice which I really recommend if you get the time.
I think you can have either nuts or no-nuts carrot cake. I like them but I don't mind either as long as there are carrots and raisins.

15/3/11 12:55 (UTC)I promise I'm not always a creepy stalker.
(no subject)
15/3/11 13:46 (UTC)And please creep/stalk wherever, I'll be doing the same over on your page JSYK. I'll try to comment so you know I'm not just lurking!
So excited to come to Berlin. I've never been before. And to meet so many Eskimos at once! COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED.
I'm practicing not looking like a complete creepy stalker in real life so no one gets scared and abandons me in Berlin. HAHA - Trying to iron out the paranoia there as well.
So yeah, basically, you're creepy, I'm stalky, we're almost certainly both crazy: *friends*. HAPPY DAYS.
