narcissistic filler

9 02 2006

Four jobs I’ve had

  1. Flute choir conductor
  2. Polyphonic ringtones composer
  3. Selling crappy toys door-to-door in industrial estates, on commission (during the recession we had to have, which seems to have lasted for my entire life)
  4. Barmaid (at which I was a complete and abject failure)

Four movies I can watch over and over

  1. Wild at Heart
  2. Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
  3. Moulin Rouge
  4. Billy Elliot

Four places I’ve lived (more boring than glen)

  1. Maryborough, Queensland - Eistedfodd capital of Australia
  2. Graceville, Brisbane (NEVER move from one side of the Brisbane river to the other. ever.)
  3. Leichardt, Sydney
  4. Red Hill, Brisbane

Four TV shows I love (although I don’t love TV so much anymore)

  2. This Life
  3. The West Wing
  4. Neighbours

Four places I’ve vacationed

Four of my favourite dishes

  1. Home-made goats’ cheese, spinach, and pumpkin pizza
  2. My marinated lamb salad
  3. Cheese on toast
  4. Sugar cane prawn and rice paper rolls

Four sites I visit daily

  1. The QUT helpdesk webpage, to find out why the email/internet access/diary server isn’t working
  2. This one
  3. Wikipedia
  4. The bus stop outside my house

Four places I’d rather be right now

  1. In a cabin in the mountains
  2. At my graduation
  3. On a night out in Melbourne
  4. Lounging in a sunny beer garden on a winter’s day, listening to a lame covers guitarist, with frosty beer in arm’s reach

Four people I tag

  1. Adrian
  2. Barbara
  3. Axel
  4. Trine
