7 things i love...

anna, that cheeky minx has passed the baton of a 'kreative blogger award'. now i think we all know that she's obviously sadly lacking in the blogging friends department if she's giving one to me, and i'm a lazy arse as usual because i'm only going to do the first bit which is to tell you 7 things i love. the other bit makes me want to lose the will to live - i'm meant to tag 7 other bloggers and leave comments on their blogs telling them that i've given them the award. gah! so if you wanna do it, do it. if you don't, don't. fine by me. like, whatever.

i like...

1- shops that sell office goods - reams of paper, ballpoint pens in their hundreds, coloured paper clips, they give me sweaty palms. (in a good way)

2- having magazines delivered to my door. i'm not sure i've hinted to sam enough about having a living etc subscription for my birthday.

3- converse lo-tops - grey/pink/pale blue/ ones are also on my birthday list...

4- going to the library and getting a stack of lovely books to last me a couple of weeks...

5- pizza express - the american is my favourite (simple and yummy, but oddly i usually order a chicken salad. weird.)

6- portugal.

7- sitting in the window of my bedroom, basking in the sun, reading library books.

quirks...

i've been tagged by lovely blogger sooziebee. i'm meant to tag a bunch more people but i'm going to wimp out on that bit, sorry :) but i'll do the other bit and list 6 quirks that you never ever wanted to know about me:

1) i have a strange aversion to baked beans and raisins (or any dried fruit really)
2) i hate not wearing a watch - it's the control freak in me, i feel naked without one.
3) if i wear nail polish on my fingernails, i sweat excessively.
4) i'm weird about numbers, especially odd ones - unless they have a 5 or 7 in them. i can't, for example, watch tv if the volume level in on '23', i have to move it to an even number. shite, that's bordering on ocd isn't it?
5) when i'm nervous, i go blotchy. damn you, pale skin!
6) if i'm talking to someone not from the uk, i tend to play on being very english. i speak really properly and say things like 'gosh, really?' and 'jolly good', very much in the manner of the famous five.

so there you go. if you didn't already think i was a looney, you do now. if you want to do your own list of quirks, feel free to consider yourself tagged.

tag!

what do you do with *slightly* mis-printed gocco prints? stratigically cut out the better bits with your collection of paper punches, add a ribbon, put them in packs and sell them in your etsy shop of course!
