the 6th in the 6th - 05:23 PM
i was tagged by melanie to do this.
the tag is to take part in the 6 by 6 game. choose the 6th image out of your 6th picture folder and blog it. then tag 6 more people to do the same.
man. now i have to think of six people to tag! i'm guessing i can't tag the same person who tagged me. hmm ..
okay. i tag alicia, gary, ginger, angie, sherry & kathy. (my connection is sucking at the moment, so i can't get all the urls.)

2008 in review - 06:58 AM
i can't be bothered turning the questions into my usual no caps style, so they can stay as is.
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
fell in love with someone 14 years older than me.

more of my own income so i can get off government benefits by the end of the year.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory?
i don't know the actual date, but it was sometime in early april (or perhaps late march) when i was driving up the coast & had the strong thought that i knew i was going to meet someone soon.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
starting my own business (i.e. becoming a site distributor for nana may's) & establishing a stream of income with it, albeit a kind of weak one at the moment.
9. What was your biggest failure?
not getting my house back into order before the end of the year .. but it is happening!
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
nothing major. nothing i can even recall.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
lots of equipment for the markets to establish myself as site distributor.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
smiley's. he learned to share in the most lovely way.

smiley's, when he was going through that horrible hormone surge earlier in the year. *sigh*

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
sales at the markets. & housework.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
slacking around the house instead of keeping it tidy.

looking after smiley. i have to be sane. it's my job to make sure he's okay. although he almost makes me insane at times, too.
32. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
i don't really go in for that sort of thing. although i do recall i had a major hormonal thing going on for john barrowman at one point. that might have been last year, though.
33. What political issue stirred you the most?
i try to avoid politics, but the environment is always a big thing with me.
34. Who did you miss?
bruce, heaps, when i went to abu dhabi for three weeks.
35. Who was the best new person you met?
well, i would say bruce, but he's not 'new' since i've known him for about fifteen years. perhaps i should say kalena, a girl who sherry met on the plane on the way to brisbane to come & visit me & who she asked if i wouldn't mind giving a lift from the airport. we all kept in contact & she sent me a copy of an out of print book that i desperately wanted. i thought that was really sweet.
36. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
you have to look after yourself & enjoy life. but then i've always known that.

what's your personality type? - 05:11 PM
wow. it's been a while since i've done one of these. personality type meme:
"You Are An ENFJ
The Giver
You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.
You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist."
What's Your Personality Type?
i agree with most of it except being let down in relationships. if that does happen to me, then i don't let it get to me enough to think it happens often.

first impressions - 09:49 PM
i stole it (word for word) from melanie's.
"We all form first impressions of each other. Think back as far as you can and share your first impression of me. It can be anything - how you thought I looked, what you thought I did for a living, what kind of person you thought I was. (No offense taken - I swear! This is all in good fun!)
Then, we’ll have a good laugh over how far off the mark or a congratulations over how on the money you were."
so go for it! most of you have never met me in real life, so just tell me your impressions from meeting me online.

punk rock mama - 07:41 PM
You're a punk rock mommy! DIY is probably your
motto, because you're a punk mama at heart.
Your kids are getting your independent spirit
and guts, and learning to solve problems
themselves. You love it when they show their
independence, even when it's breaking your
heart.
What kind of a freaky mother are you?
