Four things from Fluffy

One of the communal aspects of the blogsphere that I anticipate with mingled joy and dread are the memes* that sweep though our hives** at regular intervals.

The latest meme that I've received originates from the lovely Fluffy - at least as far as I can tell.

Here follow Four Things About Me which regular readers (to say nothing of regular lurkers) may not know. Or maybe you do. Assuming you've done your research.

A) Four jobs I have had in my life
1. Chestnut harvester
2. Printer's assistant
3. Mail room flunkey
4. Medical receptionist

B) Four movies I would watch over and over:
1. Casablanca
2. The Lord of the Rings (all three parts)
3. The Call of Cthulhu
4. The Celluloid Closet

C) Four places I have lived:
1. Big Hill, where I spent the first few years of my life (VIC)
2. Poowong East, where my shoulder was accidentally dislocated twice as a child (VIC)
3. Tanjil South, where my teacher had a stuffed barn owl on his/her desk (VIC)
4. Newborough East, where one of my best friends was Peter, the oldest brother of alleged abductee and child killer Greg Domaszewicz (VIC)

D) Four TV shows you love to watch: (at the moment)
1. Enough Rope
2. At The Movies with Margaret and David
3. Media Watch
4. Big Brother

E ) Four places you have been on holiday:
1. Tasmania
2. New Zealand
3. Wilson's Prom
4. Europe

F) Websites you visit daily:
1. www.google.com
2. 365gay.com
3. www.theage.com.au
4. www.rrr.org.au

G ) Four of my favourite foods:
1. Mum's roasts
2. Indian
3. Good Mexican
4. Cock

H) Four places I would rather be right now:
1. In a lover's arms
2. NiceandSleazy, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow
3. Asleep
4. A secret observer at my mum and dad's wedding

I) Four friends I think will respond:
1. Mike
2. DUP
3. MsKP
4. tobytoby


*Think of a meme as a Chaos Storm if you're an SF fan: a wild burst of uncontrollable information particles released in random directions throughout the net that causes usually private and self-contained bloggers to become suddenly intimate in their posts.

**Hive (blog-noun): a collective, webring or similar gathering of blogs who validate each other by regular posts through the comments feature of www.blogger.com or similar programs.

The meme came to me via Elmo via Nadine via a million others, but thanks for the cred. Poowong! *tee hee*.

Oh my goodness, you're a Gippsland boy!

It's nice to know some of us turn out okay (all right, I'm not a Gippsland boy, I'm a Gippsland girl, but the comment stands).

West Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley, Aimee, yes. As to whether I turned out ok - well some people might disagree with you on that one... ;-)
