I...My twenty-thousandth visitor was from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and visited at local time 10:28:35 pm on 25 December. He or she found my blog via a google image search for this pic of Lindt chocolate from a post about chocolate withdrawal…
Cool, eh?
Thanks to all of you for visiting.
Your eyes are not deceiving you, it’s definitely snowing here! (Well it is, as long as you have javascript on your computer.)
I’ve gone all festive on here, with the fancy tree and the snow; don’t you just wanna grab a handful of the white stuff and throw it at some hapless passerby?
And to celebrate, here’s an interesting video clip of the original Die Hard movie set to Dean Martin’s performance of “Let it Snow”.
BV has tagged me to do the 8 meme again. I’m not going to tag anyone, but feel free to do it if you wanna.
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog.
5. Eight is a magic number. Not three.
1. After I’ve had a good experience, especially with a guy, I count time back to the event. For instance, 2 hours ago he kissed me. 12 hours ago… a day ago…
2. I’ve read 82 books so far this year. I’m hoping to make it to 100 by the 31st. A while ago I realised that I’ve surpassed the goal of 50 books that I’d set for myself earlier in the year.
3. I rarely wear makeup, but I like to buy lipsticks and lipglosses.
4. When I finished secondary school (aged 16) I put on bright red nail polish, just because I could. My strict Catholic girls’ school wouldn’t let us wear makeup or wear much jewellery.
5. My parents aren’t married, so the tabloid newspapers would call me a love-child instead of that other word…
6. I have a half-brother and sister on my dad’s side, who I’ve only met once. I’m also an auntie, but I haven’t seen my niece since she was a baby. She must be about 10 years old by now. I wonder how they all are but I don’t know how to get in touch with them since they moved house.
7. I’m watching Judge Judy right now. I watch her every weekday in the evenings after work, and I watch Divorce Court in the mornings before work.
8. I’ve just decided that I have too much stuff. I need to get rid of all the extraneous objects in my life and focus on what’s most important. I’m sure I’ll discuss this issue in more detail another time.
and live forever as a benevolent goddess of amusement, mythology and storytelling, geekery and cool design.
Yes, I’ll write that in my will. Instead of freezing my head/body cryogenically, inject my mind into the net and free me from the constraints of mortality.
Is it a gift, or is it a curse? I don’t know. (more…)
