Like you care but:-
1) ambitions - I wanted to be an architect at the age of 7
2) fav toy - Lego
3) last book - Little Red Book of Chairman Mao - rubbish
4) music - All kindsa shit
5) pet hates - That would be telling
6) holiday - The Black Rock desert, clearly, but I couldn't live there. Was thinking Belize but they have hurricanes... could be entertaining...
7) Food - Foi gras
8) Fashion disaster - Probably the day at school when I went through the regs with a fine-tooth comb and, suitably undressed, went to school and was hauled in front of the headmaster. "WHAT do you think you're wearing?!" I sweetly asked if they could show me where these breaches of school etiquette were written down and they scratched their head and let me go. Pleased with that.
9) Famous people - yes plenty. I'deal dinner date would be with Mae West and Peter Ustinov
10) Learning - EVERYTHING
11) Worst gift - the other half got me a kid's scooter for my b'day a coupe of years back, I went mental. Best gift... sooo many to choose from but I think the hand-made, personalised deck of playing cards from a friend whom I'd dismissed her previous year's b'day card offering as not having put enough effort in... That was nice. |
