three ...

f:lux completed a meme and i think i offered myself as a sacrifice to do it next. feel free to try it for yourself!

things that scare me:
1. that i may be booked for another incarnation. Ohhhh yes, things always CAN get worse!
2. string puppets – soul-less agents of the dark side (except for my fluffy ostrich – he’s a gormless innocent)
3. that i catch myself wondering if there’s time, this life round, to actually meet Mr Wonderful (who isn’t a psycho in disguise)

people who make me laugh:
1. my friend A, who can parody anyone’s thought-process perfectly. Especially the psychos. Oh wait, i only ever meet psychos …
2. Tired Dad
3. Bryan in “Family Guy” (ok, i KNOW he’s the dog … wanna make something of that?)

things i love:
1. those unexpected special smiles that soul–connect; the ones that say “hey, life sucks but really, it’s pretty funny, all this mess - enjoy the ride.” They make the day shine.
2. how madam squirrel runs to me, takes nuts from my fingers, her amazing hands wrapped round mine.
3. after 15yrs of agony, i no longer have a huge gallstone and can eat without throwing up for 12hrs afterwards.

things i loathe:
1. the cruelty that defines some people/nations/cultures
2. the romance-icky statue thing my new neighbours have in their front window.
3. control freaks, especially if I’m the next pet project *humph*

things i don't understand:
1. the numbness that sets in even though i’m out of the rat race and really shouldn’t be so tired ALL the time.
2. why maps don’t tell me what I need to know like “Tesco here, large tree looking like a camel there, beside the burned out bus stop …”
3. video machines

things on my desk:
1. tiny teddy reading books
2. enormous spider plant
3. two purple mini-weights holding printer flap shut

things i'm doing right now:
1. willing the t.v. in the other room to turn itself off
2. listening to cat-thoughts
3. ignoring a yard-bowl full of giant slugs

things i want to do before i die:
1. see my son step into his own life
2. go to Australia
3. live - near the sea

things i can do:
1. see shadow-cat who visits often; some might say he isn’t there but my “real” cats watch him too.
2. read your mind (ha! Gotcha! But it’s true sometimes)
3. make a grand chocolate cake (then give it away because once i’ve made it i’m not really bothered about eating it)

things i can't do:
1. balance finances - or numbers of any kind
2. ride a bicycle
3. stop worrying - about everything

things you should listen to:
1. heart
2. intuition
3. windchimes in the night breeze

things i'd like to learn:
1. tarot - without relying on the book
2. how to lose one of my eight stones without “exercise”
3. salsa

favourite foods:
1. strawberries
2. steak
3. really fresh “interesting” bread

shows i watched as a kid:
1. Lost in Space
2. Dr Who
3. Lone Ranger

things you should never listen to:
1. “HAVE to … MUST … or else .. if you loved me ...”
2. squeaky wheels on shopping carts
3. me
