Friday Five

I haven’t done these in a while. So here ya go: the first January “Friday Five:”

# What is your favourite fruit?
Oranges. Definitely oranges. So citrus-y and so yummy and mm mm mm!!

# What is the last book you read?
“Eat Pray Love” by Gilbert was the last book I read. The current book I’m reading is “Confessions of an Evil Stepsister.” Hehee.

# Do you like any of your school photos?
No. :P I think I look dweeby and dorky in all of ‘em!

# Do you ever blowdry your armpits to get the deodorant to dry quicker?
What the hell. No. LOL You mean people do this?!

# What was the last film you watched?
“I Am Legend” with Will Smith. We saw it last weekend and it was SO GOOD!!! Definitely one to own.


Friday Five

1. What was the last item you returned to a store?
I can’t even remember. I usually don’t return anything. I keep it or give it away or have it fixed or whatever.

2. What do you currently have in your possession that you need to return to its owner?
A book that Marita and Doris (my yoga teachers) lent to me about family constellation therapy.

3. What’s something you lent to someone that you’d really like back now?
Some of my books. :P I like books back.

4. Where’s a place you hope never to see again?
I’d like to never relive my high school years again, but I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. It gives a certain sense of neurotic nostalgia that isn’t good or bad.. just kind of sad.

5. What’s your explanation for those wild stories about dogs and cats who get separated from their owners for years and finally make their way home, even at times finding their owners when the families have moved a long way away?
Erm. Pets are cool and lovable and loyal. That’s my “explanation.”
