Did you buy the Cool Tricks guys CD or something? :lol: And is this show actually an 80s-early 90s show, or do they just make daggy cool? It's so stuck in a time warp.

I think it's pretty modern, actually. THey must have found some rejected costumes from some 80s kid show and run with it.

My purchases were the Ting Tings and the Roots songs from the show. Happy little ditties.

5. I've been thinking lately that I'd like to work for Via Rail. Senior Service Attendants (Stewards/stewardesses) make a cool $18/hour and get to see the country. Sounds like a mighty sweet gig.

19. I kind of want to get a tattoo. On my forearm. Of a tree. That'd be badass.

20. From one line, I could probably tell you which Seinfeld episode it's from.

21. I own lots of shoes. I have at least a pair for each day of the week. I could use a new pair...

22. J'ai réçu mon diplôme de littérature et langues modèrnes l'année passé. J'espère qu'il pourrait m'aider à atteindre un bon emploi à l'avenir.

25. This took me over an hour to type.
 
Copied from my Facebook.

1. I fall asleep incredibly quickly, usually within a minute after going to bed. I'm a light sleeper, though.
2. I really, really love people, but I'm incredibly self-conscious and worried that people will think I'm weird or overly friendly, so I don't talk much and I don't make friends very easily.
3. I am obsessed with charity shops, especially Oxfam. I have to go every week, even though they usually have the same books and never have any clothes in my size.
4. I have never done any kind of illegal drug.
5. Even though I own hundreds of books I've never read, I can't stop myself from buying more. My Amazon wishlist is eleven pages long, and I add new books all the time.
6. I love saving money. Mortgage and utility bills aside, I could easily live on a tiny amount of money each month if Sam didn't insist that we eat real food and not the cheapest stuff available.
7. I order loads of free samples and do online surveys and product testing to get Amazon vouchers and money.
8. I'm a hoarder and really have to stop myself from keeping too much rubbish because I never do anything with it. I especially like to come up with craft/sewing ideas that I never follow through. When Sam is about to throw something away, I think, "Wait! I could use that to make something!"
9. I really want a daughter.
10. I'm very paranoid about my stepmom not liking me because we didn't get on at all when I was growing up. Now I'm terrified of unintentionally offending her (far above my normal fear of offending people!).
11. I absolutely love religion even though I'm an atheist.
12. I can't be away from my cats for more than a couple of minutes without really missing them. It's very difficult for me to go on holiday, and even when Sam and I are just going into the city to run errands, I keep saying, "I wonder what the cats are doing now..." I wish I could teach them to answer the phone so I could check up on them throughout the day.

15. I have a recurring nightmare that I have to go back to high school in Kentucky and I'm failing a calculus class that I've forgotten I'm taking.
16. I'm terrified of going off antidepressants because my mood is much more even than it's ever been and I don't feel constantly consumed by anxiety.
17. I've loved tarantulas since I was about three and got to hold one at the zoo. I had a pet tarantula in high school.
18. I am so self-conscious about my accent. A few weeks ago, I answered the phone as the answer phone was cutting in, and when I listened to the recording later, my accent sounded like a strange and unpleasant mixture of southern US, English, Irish, Canadian, and Australian. I apologise profusely to anyone who has to hear me speak.
19. I think in images and have a very literal brain, which means that it usually takes me a minute to understand what other people mean and it takes me ages to compose a sentence. It's frustrating at times, but it means that I'm unusually gifted at Pictionary.
20. I would be vegan if I weren't so worried about the cost of eating well, the difficulty of getting enough B12, and the prospect of life without cheese.
21. When I was a teenager, my dream was to move to England, marry someone British, and work in a library.
22. I don't dislike people. I guess it's sort of my own form of loving-kindness meditation, but I'm very good at making myself feel positively towards anyone.
23. I would like to be an etymologist or an entomologist.
24. Morning glories have been my favourite flowers for as long as I can remember.

14. Lee Evans (comedian) is not funny, and I judge people who like him
15. None of my iTunes playcounts are accurate, I set them back to zero regularly
16. My iPod is full :(
17. I am introverted
18. I am addicted to post-it notes and can't remember anything without them
