I’ve been having a weird week, a “not feeling like blogging much” week, so here’s a post that didn’t require much thinking…
Storms – Cool or Scary?: Great! Especially when you have big windows or a veranda! *childhood memories*
Favourite alcoholic drink: Sangria, Cosmopolitans and other not-vile-tasting-but-not-too-too-sweet cocktails.
Favourite non-alcoholic drink: Fresh pineapple juice
Finish this statement, “If I had the time, I would…”: have finished all my work by now, and would have gone for a practice drive today. Instead, we went out to finish our Christmas shopping.
If you could dye your hair any colour, what would you choose?: Keep it permanently the gorgeous burgundy colour with purple shades that I had a few weeks ago. It’s now faded to a slightly duller red.
Name the cities/towns you’ve lived in: Rockland, Hull, Ottawa (Canada) and Harlow, Sawbridgeworth (England)
One nice thing about the last person you spoke to: My hubby, the sweetest person ever! What can I say, he’s just great, and rather cute too!
Morning person or night owl?: Neither really, I’m at my best late-afternoon, early evening. I used to be a morning person as a teenager, believe it or not!
Favourite place to relax?: Menorca — on the boat, on the beach, at the villa or at Sa Roca, the restaurant with the most amazing peaceful atmosphere on the face of this earth.
Favourite dessert?: Fudge brownies with vanilla ice cream (made with real vanilla beans)
Books I particularly liked reading over the years…
- The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
- No Logo by Naomi Klein
- About A Boy by Nick Hornby
- La course destination monde 1995-1996
- Chocolat, Three Quarters of the Orange and Blackberry Wine, all by Joanne Harris
- Le Petit Prince by St-Exupéry
- The Night Listener by Armistead Maupin
- The Classic 1000 Cocktails by Robert Cross

Books I WANT to read, some of them I’ve already read, some I’ve part-read, but all I want to read or re-read:
- 1984 by George Orwell
- Neuromancer by William Gibson
- Anne Frank’s Diary
…
Feel free to recommend more books I should read, or tell me which of my must-read’s you think are crap! 
This is another list that’ll grow as time goes by. Hopefully, I’ll get back into the habit of reading more than I do at the moment!
I have to admit, this is based on a chain email I got from Jimena… I’m not a fan of chain emails and anything remotely related to junkmail, but it’s still a good laugh to answer it (10 at the time, not all 100 questions or however many are usually in those emails!)
The last movie/tv show I watched on DVD: Red Dwarf Season 4
Current books I’m reading: Principles of Marketing by Kotler, Bourne Supremacy by Ludlum, and I’m taking a peek in Andrew’s Bill Bryson books as well.
Favourite game: Hmm it’s a tie between The Sims 2 on PC and Dancing Stage Fever (Dance mat) on PS2
Favourite magazine: I don’t really read magazines, but Heat, Closer and other such junk helps pass time at the gym
Favourite smell: Vanilla mmmmm
Favourite foods: All Asian foods – Thai, Chinese, Japanese (sushi!), Indian… And anything involving seafood
Favourite sounds: Rain on the canal outside our apartment
Worst feeling in the world: Helplessness, when something stresses you out but there’s nothing you can do!
What’s the first thing you think when you wake up?: “What day are we? Please please let it be Saturday…” 
Favourite fast food place: Depends how you define fast food… Marks & Spencer sushi is “fast” food but tasty!
I have an Amazon WishList. Feel free to buy me gifts!
Ten useless facts about me

- I now work in Marketing for a publishing company, but in 3 years, I’ve had
four five different jobs within that company.
- I love online shopping even though I don’t trust many sites with my bank details.
- I hate the generic Nokia ringtone even though it reminds me of a funny tv show
- I have a BA with Honours in Communications from Ottawa University

- I like to eat tortellinis right out the pack before cooking the rest
- On a rainy Friday morning, thinking of useless facts is quite hard!
