meme

i hate memes. I'm not going to tag anyone at the end, you know. And yes, I used to break chain letters at school. i am not afraid. The gods of the memosphere have no authority over me. Strike me down, I dare yer!

Bam, the queen of the cover snark, did tag me though.

• Three screen names that you’ve had: Magrat, Moosifer, spikedru.
• Three things you like about yourself: my nails, my self-suffciency, my shoe collection
• Three things you don’t like about yourself: my wide personal space, picking at things instead of either leaving well alone or sorting them out properly, my volume control.
• Three parts of your heritage: Irish, Scots, Basque. No, really, there was a DNA thing and my ancestors are Basque. I think it explains a lot.
• Three things that scare you: ladders (or rather going up high ladders), the dubious state of governance of the UK and its increasigly lack of respect for civil rights, Brussel sprouts.
• Three of your everyday essentials: caffeine, waking up with the Today programme on the radio, reading snarky blogs
• Three things you are wearing right now: Brown straight-leg low waist cords, a white green and brown cowboy shirt from J C Penneys that I found in a retro clothing shop. Calf-length brown leather boots (slightly scuffed).
• Three of your favorite songs: Chelsea Morning by Joni Mitchell, Days by either the Kinks or Kirsty MacColl, #2 by Blur.
• Three things you want in a relationship: companionship, screwball comedy style banter, an acceptance that I really, really don't like having my feet kissed.
• Two truths and a lie: I am a natural redhead, my grandmother was born in 1883, I can roll my tongue.
• Three things you can’t live without: a cat, my books, caffeine.
• Three places you want to go on vacation: Oregon (to visit a dear friend), SW India, Africa.
• Three things you just can’t do: Ski, stand on the left on a tube escalator, cook.
• Three kids names: George, Georgina, Lily
• Three things you want to do before you die: go to a New Orleans Mardi Gras (was supposed to go this coming year but...), visit the Antartic (or the Artic - which one has the penguins?), learn to cook.
• Three celeb crushes: Spike (not James Marsters but Spike - "so you'd prefer the mass murderer to the actor?" someone asked me), Rupert Everett, Dominic Monahan.
• Three of your favorite musicians: Saint Saens, Neil Hannon, Rufus Wainwright
• Three physical things about the opposite sex that appeal to you: long skinny legs, eyes, scruffyness.

• Three things you really want to do badly right now: go home (am at work), get back to some writing, give a good friend a hug because she's having a shit time
• Three careers you’re considering/you’ve considered: writer, archaeologist, academic
• Three ways that you are stereotypically a boy: I like SF, I can do things in binary or hex, I am lazy around the house.
• Three ways that you are stereotypically a girl: I have over thirty bottles of nail varnish, I love high heeled snadals, I have a dimensionally transendental handbag.
• Three people that I would like to see post this meme: Nope. Come on, memosphere gods! Bring on your wrath! I deny you! I shall burn in meme hell.
