Crayon Box Survey

RED = Anger

1. Are you currently mad at someone? Nope just really irritarted with manipulation and ignorance I mean WHO do they think they ARE hmph, thanks had to get that off my chest… where do I pay?
2. Which of your family members has the worst temper? So many I can’t even say, how about I give you the alphabet? Would that work?
3. Have you ever thrown something at anyone? Yes once I threw a really large tortoise (it was a soft toy ok not a REAL one!) at my brother, once pushed an Italian through a door for not doing dishes (look he told me “you woman you do, not I, I man… can you blame me???)
4. Does your face turn red when you’re angry? Depends if it is a cold anger or a hot one – cold is the one that takes longer to brew, hot is hot and very fast normally when you tell me I am someone else *shrug*
5. When you’re mad, do you prefer to stare angrily or yell? I very very rarely yell, I hate being yelled at so try not to do it to others, I step away or keep quiet and process what is being said and the implications to me, whether I am at fault or they are incorrect in their statements.  Once cooled off I re approach or just absorb – perhaps not good huh but hey am not a fighter and HATE confrontation.

ORANGE = Excitement

1. Has anyone ever thrown a surprise party for you? My mother threw me one when I was about 10 I think, she organised a whole bunch of friends to go to my favourite restaurant, Mikes Kitchen… Man I can still remember the taste of those ribs yum!
2. Do you get easily excited? Yeah I am a happy bunny most days and get excited bout little things like a bird staring at me in the window (right NOW people!!!), chocolate, winnie the pooh, snow… the list is endless you get the point OOOOO a FAIRY!!!
3. What’s something that you’re most excited about? The elder kiddie did something big today and I can’t wait to tell his dad, he will be so chuffed! Seriarsely it is sooo cool and am soooo proud of the little tiger!
4. If you won a million dollars, what would be your first thought? First thought is easy… holy crapola, second thought … round the world ticket for those in my heart, kinda like group therapy then Orphanage and of course investments (sheesh)
5. If you could have anything right now, what would it be? A hug, a big hug

YELLOW = Self Discovery

5. When do you want to die? When I am meant to, not a minute before, not a second after

GREEN = Opinions

1. Are you against gay marriage? Stupid question, why should one have the right to marry and not the other, its like saying a black man can’t get an education while a white man can because he is an unbeliever…
2. Lower the drinking age? Yeah, in my onions the less restrictions the more responsibility, the more responsibility the more a person, be it a kid or adult, takes better control of their lives and makes better decisions… hey its subjective.  Tell a kid that they CANT have alcohol and guess what, they’ll be drinking YOU under the table before they’re 15…

6. What’s the last piece of clothing you borrowed? Don’t know, oh the little ones winnie the pooh shirt, fit like a bug in the rug… age 5 not bad huh (yeah God and I have been talking since age 8 about those things that everyone else has not I)

My Quirks and Addictions – A meme

I’ve been tagged to do a meme about my quirks and addictions (Amber you are such a starball!).  This is supposed to be an opportunity for you to get to know your blogging friends better, so I’ll try to confess to obsessions I haven’t previously mentioned… just please remember I do break the rules at all times so this time I’ll try stick to the truth … yeah yeah

image 

Quirks

I am a Virgo, what more can I say.  I absolutely love straightening skew things – things hung wrong can agitate me sometimes (ok FINE most times) to distraction

Food – I am a very VERY visual person which means that while eating a meal (any meal) there can’t be any talk of cut off limbs, animals or anything even remotely linked to the food I am eating.  If the topic arises and I get the visual (I literally think visually) then I can’t eat, I have to put my plate to one side and if the topic continues after I’ve asked for it to be changed I leave the table.

I will do anything for anyone who has compassion and kindness of heart, if you don’t have those then generally I can come across like a cold hearted poodle. 

I am very slow to anger, it can take ages and ages to get a rise out of me but push me long and hard enough I scare people.  It’s just one of those things, a panda bear turns into a tiger – never physical but I have a sharp tongue especially when people I love are in danger. Ok actually in all honesty am like panda with rabies.

Please always remember to wipe tomato sauce bottle at the top, that gunk grosses me out beyond words… I can just see all the little germs nibbling away going “yum yum burp”. Gross.

I don’t do sweaty armpits. This came about after standing on a London tube in rush hour traffic.  The tube was so SO so packed that I had to stand gripping the rail in the centre, my nose fit quite snuggly into his armpit.  My smelling abilities have been hindered since and the faintest smell of sweat sends me into flashsmellback attacks.

Addictions

Hmm well I don’t really have an addictive nature, I mean they say its in my DNA and all but I am yet to see it for real.

I’m not addicted to cookies, I never eat them for breakfast nor lunch and most definitely not for dinner.

I have never ever smoked, I mean gross! No, seriously I have never ever lit a smoke.

I absolutely hate chocolate, that sweet taste melting all over your teeth and then getting on your chin… YURGH

I hardly ever read blogs, I mean come on now, seriously… read??? BLOGS? ME? Forget about it (Marlon Brando voice over)

I hate learning new things, such a waste of time

Painting and the smell of oils drive me nuts, how people can stand to be around it let alone PAINT with it I just don’t know.  Pure insanity!

The sound of a camera’s shutter gets a bit repetitive, why have they never invented a silent shutter and click? Perhaps its just me but click click click = straightjacket material
