Music Monday: Will You Wait For Me – Kavana.

I totally forget about this song most of the time.  I don’t really love it the same way I used to when I was an impressionable, pathetically sappy 11-year-old, but I like it because it reminds me of that time, and definitely has the nostalgia factor.  Even if part of that reminiscence is that fact [...]

Once again, copied from Jenny, coz she finds all the cool memes
1. Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
Maybe Friends, but I every now and then I catch an episode that I’m not sure if I’ve seen before, so maybe not at least twice. I think [...]

1. Participated in the Blasphemy Challenge.
2. Met at least one of the “Four Horsemen” (Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris) in person.
3. Created an atheist blog. In as much as this is a blog by an atheist and I occasionally take a specifically atheistic [...]

Today is all about ME! :-P

Today is my 21st birthday.  If you want to get technical about it, I’m not technically 21 until 8.30 tonight but whatever!  Usually I don’t like to post a lot of Memes about myself (I used to think that meme was pronounced ‘me-me’ and was so called because they were all about the person posting [...]

Meme 2 & 3

Both of these are stolen from Jenny (Two and Three).
The first is about books:
One book…

Xmas Meme

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Wrapping paper!  Gift bags make it way too easy!
2. Real tree or Artificial?
I like real trees – we used to have real ones when I was little, then we’d have to chuck them out the lounge window after xmas coz they were too big to get out the door.  But [...]

Music Monday: The Special Two – Missy Higgins

Music Monday is a meme that teh awesome Holly invented recently.  I think the deal is that we share a video of music that we’ve just discovered/have loved forever/think is cool/are currently obsessed with (correct me if I’m wrong, Holly ).  I wanted to start (those of you who are about to point [...]

Two Memes. (both nicked off Jenny)

Meme One:  BTT – Presents!
I think this is the second time ever that I’ve done BTT, but this one looks like fun:
What, if any, memorable or special book have you ever gotten as a present? Birthday or otherwise. What made it so notable? The person who gave it? The book itself? The “gift aura?”
I’ve been [...]

What I Need…?

I just read Jenny’s blog entry about this meme and decided I needed some time out from watching the men’s swimming on TV *ogles lads in bodysuits*   What you do is google “[your name] needs,” pick 10 good ones, and post them.
Brooke needs a date, a fling, and FUN – oh that sounds [...]
