favourite fours

Ooooo, lil kim tagged me! I’ve never been officially tagged before, how exciting (well for me that is, you may find it long-winded and boring). But what the hell, here goes…

4 jobs I have had:
- My first job ever was selling entry tickets at the Museum of Fire
- While at uni I had a very cool job working for a ceramic artist, helping to make her market range of items while she concentrated on her gallery items. I would make plates, platters and bowls out of clay, she would draw her art on the fired ones, and then I would take them home and paint the glazes on them. It paid terribly, but was a wonderful job.
- On the side I did the odd face painting at fetes, and hair wraps at markets.
- At the job I just left I was a Senior Web Producer (which is a wanky way of saying I was a project manager at a web design company who had been there long enough to become senior)

4 movies I could watch over and over:
Mr You and I are hopeless when it comes to movies, we hardly ever go and see them and we don’t have a DVD player. The movies I watch over and over again are old videos taped off the TV that are all about 15 years old. But if I could watch a movie over and over again I’d choose:
- Lost in Translation
- Frida
- Amalie
- okay, for the last one I’m going to be brave and be honest… Dirty Dancing (eeek blush – lost some cred there didn’t I?). My sister and I watched our video of this soooo many times when we were young that her pink dress in the last scene is now white. We can recite almost the entire thing, And I remember not having any idea what “knocked-up” meant and I thought she’d just fallen up the stairs and hurt herself. We have the same nostalgic obsession with Mystic Pizza too. (oh dear, so much credibility just crumbled away into dust).

4 places I have lived (apart from where I am now):
- Townsville, far north Queensland - tropical (I spent my childhood years there, and now associate my childhood with wonderful warm tropical memories)
- The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney NSW - bushy (I spent my early teen years there, then came back later when I moved out of home)
- Penrith, western suburbs – suburban hell (horrible place where at the time everyone my age wore tracksuits and sneakers and were only interested in cars and footy, and I was abused each afternoon on my way home for looking different to them)
- Various suburbs in the inner west area of Sydney (As soon as I finished school I moved to the city and went to uni – ahhh. I love it here, different cultures, an array of foods, and houses that come from another time)

4 TV shows I love:
- Buffy (yes I’m one of those)
- Northern Exposure (It’s been a lifetime since I’ve seen this show, but I remember it with great fondness)
- You’re going to laugh at this one… Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (the US version, we lost it to the Australian counterpart though, which was soooo bad it only lasted 2 shows before it was axed. Just the intro music used to make me clap and cheer with excitement. I’ve never had a custom ringtone on my phone, but that very nearly made it)
- um…. None of those shows are on TV anymore, I’m trying to think of one that is…. Nope, I can’t think of one, so I’ll end with Pokemon. I LOVED Pokemon.

4 places I have been for a vacation:
- All the capital cities in Australia, except Darwin and Hobart
- Fiji
- Portugal (and a fair few other countries in EU)
- Ireland (and the UK)

4 websites I visit daily:
- my blog
- craftzine
- indie quarter
- five and a half

4 favourite foods:
- vegetables
- tomato
- cashews
- cake

4 places I would rather be:
- Turkey
- Morocco
- walking along a beach
- on a boat floating in calm water on a sunny day

4 people I am tagging:

- Danielle
