It would be spiteful to put jellyfish in a trifle....Karl Pilkington

About Me

Motto: "What you see is what you get."
Greatest Strength: Your playful and loving nature.
Possible Weakness: Need for approval can become too important.
Motto: "If I know something, I'll tell you about it."
Greatest Strength: Inspiring others with positive ideas.
Possible Weakness: Coming across as a know-it-all
THINGS I LOVE
Knowing the lyrics to songs so I can sing along
Having an unexpected catch up with friends which end in copious amounts of coffee and gossiping for way too long
Shopping
Clothes in general
Sex and the city
Really teeny girl movies which I have no guilt about watching
Canada (well I don't know if I actually love it now but I hope that I will)
Chocolate
Teaspoons of milo straight out of the tin
Lying in bed on a sunday
Buying (or burning...sorry 'artists') a new cd and listening to it again and again till I get sick of it
Reading a really good book and still having the majority of it to go
Having a full tank of petrol and knowing that I don't have to fill up for two weeks
Being able to play 'tour guide' for people by showing them round melbourne
Bear Brasses long island iced teas
Lying on the lawns at uni with my boy and my friends, eating brownies and not going to lectures
THINGS I HATE
Ignorant people
When someone takes that ONE thing you've been saving in the cupboard/fridge for ages
Waking up early
People who walk too slow in the city
People who stand on the right hand side of the escalators...THE RIGHT SIDE IS FOR WALKING PEOPLE!
Buying (yes actually paying for a cd) and realising that it only had 1 good song...the reason you bought it...and the rest of the cd is crap and you should have just burnt it
Sales assistants who think that because you've met them for 5 minutes they can decide if something looks 'fabulous on you darhhling', I know you just want the sale. Stop acting like you care about my best interests!!!
People who come into the store at 5 minutes to close just to 'look around' and then unfold everything
finishing a really good book
Being low on petrol and knowing I'll have to fill it up
Cookie's long island iced teas, sorry to the people on Lonsdale st that morning who saw more of my previous nights dinner than they perhaps wanted to!
