YAY! Not only is it Friday, I only have about an hour left here before I can go and not return til tuesday week! HURRAH!

So, naturally, MEMEAGE, stolen from [livejournal.com profile] _unhurt_



How old were you when you first...

Fell in love: Not sure that I have yet. Had burst of Very Strong Obsession at... 21 I think, which I thought was It, but luckily wasn't.

Lost your virginity: also 21, just about ;)

Lost someone close to you: Nana (mother's mother) when I was 11

Drank alcohol: hmm, 16 I think

Smoked: cigarettes - never really. Joints otoh... about 17 or 18 I think.

Got your heart broken: 32, when my father died.

Got arrested: Not to date, tho nearly did when... 20, for stealing a sign. They made us take it back and apologise instead.

Broken a bone: not yet!

Got cheated on: Dunno if I have been :p If I was, it would have been about 21/22

Rode the city bus: when very small no doubt. Was getting the bus to school from 11 onwards

Went to a concert: 16. Anthrax in the Antrim Forum (actually the leisure centre with fancy name). Gave up school trip to Florence and Venice to go to that one; it had originally been Pompeii, which would have won, but Anthrax v. Art Galleries was no contest.


Met someone famous: hmm. I met Terry Pratchett at a con. thingy when I was... 16 I think. My memory for When Things Happened is crap ;p

Dyed your hair: hmm about 29 I think

Got your first cell phone: 30

Got a Myspace: HAHA not

Snuck out of the house: when i was 5 and decided to Run Away. Didn't get very far because I wasn't allowed to cross the road on my own. When older, it was more of the sneaking IN than out ;p

Got your own digital camera: hmm, when did I go to Syndey... 32! (just ;p)

First time you got drunk: 16. End of Dig party in King's Head. They got me to try wine (which I didn't like) then we went back to boss's house and there was THE HOLY GRAIL - a BOX of strongbow. A WHOLE BOX. I tried it, I liked it, apparently I drank most of it. Was still drunk when I got to school the next day. Have been searching for another one ever since - a whole BOX. You could keep it in the fridge and it wouldn't go flat or fall over and spill like stupid barrack-buster bottles.

Read Harry Potter: uh.. no idea. When did it come out?

Travelled across the ocean: Which one? First Big Long Haul trip was to Australia at 32. Haven't been to US yet. CANADA TOMORROW THO HURRAH.

Wore a toga: have yet to do so.

Travelled out of state/country: um... school trip to Paris and Lourdes, via Many Dead Saints In Boxes, 12

Shopped at Abercrombie/M&S: the former, never, the latter? Um. No idea. Hardly a Big Lifetime Landmark...

Went to Disney World: never, and have no plans to in future (actually unhurt's answer, but ditto)

Saw a Broadway/West End play: have never been to either

How old are you now: 35. I have no idea how this happened. I'm SURE I'm 26 or there abouts.



So yes, Canada tomorrow. Have to be at airport at Ungodly Hour (5 I think), then off for a week of playing with small nephews, shopping and testing out new hot tub in the brother's back garden (being installed today apparently).
And, hopefully, trying once more to meet with [livejournal.com profile] kearsley - with a bit more success than last time if all goes well ;p

ETA Richard Hammond out of intensive care. Only to High Dependency ward, but still, a good sign, however slight.

Sure aren't you off yourself soon? To the Vatican no less! Poor Fragglechick will be GREEN at the thought of all those priests ;)

Oh yes, priests. *rubs thighs* Only for a weekend though, sadly. :(
