Yep, that’s me. My mum was going through some of her papers and discovered these old pics, which I thought I’d share with you. The cap says something like Jah (God) loves Ganja… Even in my early years I was stirring up trouble!

This was my mother and I posing outside our previous house (my brother lives there now). I must have been about three years old and I was already carrying myself like a diva. When the sun’s out, a girl has got to wear sunglasses.

Whenever I put on my black denim jacket I seem to find an old cinema ticket in one of the pockets. I guess I watch more films than I think I do. And always in the same jacket.

So what’s in your pocket(s) right now?

Here is my evil sax-playing eye-patch-wearing Meez, busking near the GLA building in London to raise funds for her evil schemes…

Dr M and Becca have tagged me for this meme, but I shall do it only once. It involves answering the questions then adding your own question at the end.

Four jobs I’ve had or currently have in my life:

1. My first job was in McDonalds. I lasted 4 days. Getting oil burns on my arms and being sworn at wasn’t my idea of fun.

2. When I was 18 or 19 I worked part-time in a cinema. It was fantastic, I watched so many films while I was there. The projectionist was a complete psycho, but everyone else was really nice.

3. When I was 21 I worked in a library. I loved being around all those books, and I actually lost weight while I was there as I was always on the move.

4. Now I’m working as an Administrator in a counselling centre.

Four countries I have been to:

1. USA
2. Egypt
