[ under one of them job caps ]




I spotted this on Aley's blog & I'm gonna answer by matching her 20 randomthingies
cuz I think it will be a hoot . Go read Aley first will ya.


Here's how it works: Once you have been tagged you have to write a blog with 20 weird, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 or more people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment (tag, you're it) to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers..

now, put the kettle on & settle in.


1.  I go through nonfiction binges & would luv to get a grip & read more fiction. I read poems
a lot cuz they're easy to grap a piece of whenever I feel the need for words of beauty. I read
a bit in A Course in Miracles, Seven Spiritual Laws & Each Day a new Beginning each day. I am
pt reading in combo Brilliancy & Spacecruiser & waiting impatiently to caress the first pages
of Lighting up the Now, also by Almaas. And fictionwise, I'll be diving second time, now into
the danish version of Sorrows by an American courtesy of the divinest Siri Hustvedt to do a
talkaboutit with a friend. I think Aley thinks I am a nutter. I am.

 
2.  I would rather buy more books than I do at the mo
not cuz I am a ho but cuz I am low on dow
so the library is my haven at the mo.
   

3.  I have never owned a home
cuz I am a nomadic bohemian. I am living in my home
no 42 ( yay 42! ) at the mo. I have owned 4 businesses & felt sorta burgois each time.
My biggest fear is limitations. ( I am not toffeed at the thought of rules either.)


4.  Gardening is a pleasure of mine. My grandfather tought me that. His garden was his zen,
his refuge & the bestest strawberries was his.  My green garden now is mostly inside cuz my
patio is minute. I say green cuz I also have a wee zen one for straightening sand & moving lil
rocks around when I need to ponder. I help friends in their gardens & do zen work in the
herb garden when I visit my fav tantra & meditation center, the Tiger's Nest.


5.  I luuved to sing & act in plays in school & college. And moved on to local theatre after that.
   

6.  I played table tennis
from the 6th to 10th grade & won the danish champship twice.
Then boyz & disco got more interesting than them lil ping pongs. I still do a mean top spin.
   

7.  In 2000
I was working as an art director. During a discussion about branding with them
dudes (my bosses) I claimed that the right image would sell virtually anything ( I thought
the company's logo sucked ). They dared me to brand myself  in the right image to get
picked for Rob X ( danish version of survivor ). And I did.
   

8.  One of my fav musical artists
is Carlos as in Santana. Mostly his early stuff. Whenever
I travel to & from a destination I listen to Moonflower. That goes for beginnings & endings
of everything else in my life as well.
   

9.  'Socrates was a fine little figure
but a bugger when he was pissed.'. is a fav Monty P line.
 I like saying is this the spanish inquisiton when someone gets too nosy for their own good...
Or saying NEEE!!! instead of Nej which is no in danish. I was asked to leave the cinema cuz
I couldn't stop laughing very loudly the first time I watched Life of Brian..- guess I had gone
& been somewhat lavish with the ganja in them cookies.
   

10.  I think fish are very cool
& that God must have been on the best acid ever when she
did the tropic ones. I love looking at them & have played a lot with them when diving. 12
Manta Rays in formation as I emerged from a wreck dive is the most mindblowing sighting
I have ever had of fish. (seacows & whales not incl cuz they're not really fishy ). & bumping
into a fucking big shark as I was coming out of a cave is the scariest. I not only walked in
water that day. I sprinted.


11.  Living outside when travelling is a love of mine. Fires at night in the Highlands waiting
for ghosts to appear & next to me selfmade bamboo hut on Peleka beach looking at fireflies
has been the ultimates. Cooking, not so soft men & great chais! Making hunghies, roasting
bugs & gazing at stars onTengshi Island in Malaysia during Rob X is right up there too..oh
& oh my  god.. can't name them all. There has been a lot of fires in my life.

   
12.  I lived in Sommersted ( Summer's Place ) from I was 6 till 17. In May I celebrated
two yrs anniversary of living under this roof. That's a record since my sweet seventeen.
And I am feeling restless.
   

13.  I had two cats once. A witch she kitten Jamara & a white tigerstriped he cat Aslan.
Jamara developed rather large labias when coming of age, so I had a witch he cat called
Jamara instead. Aslan came from a tribe of housecats & was sensitive & snobbish. Jamara
was outdoorsy & played it rough. When home he loved to strut his stuff on my table & I had
to keep a keen eye on him. His tail would wiggle into candle flames & he couldn't care less.


14.  I love wearing make up & silk stockings.

   
15.  I got a lift with a photographer the first time I went & by thumb to Roskilde Festival.
He had a backstage pass & got me in when Joe Cocker was on. Anyone who manages
to deliver a class A+ performance being that waisted has had my respect ever since.

   
16.  I have never been to a high shool reunion.
But I have seen some american movies with that theme.

   
17.  I got my first college degree in 1981.
I want to do a Masters or a BA in psychology, preferably in this life. I have done a BA in Graphic Design, got some certified courses & educations under my belt such as a NLP Master Practitioner & Life Coach, PADI Diving
Instructor, First Aid of course, Kiwi Host ,Fitness Instructor as in weights & reebok step, journalism, marketing & communication, photography, drama, drawing.. can't remember
what else..  oh fuck I even did a PC driver's license thingie once to dig the lingo of them
Windows nerds. I love to learn too.


18.  I love to sing along to music. I remember lyrics to songs from tuition & choir singing.
And some from my younger days. I think pot has had a blurring effect on the lyrics learning
center of my brain cuz nowadayz I am really good at doing soundalike noises to fill in gaps
of lyric when I sing along.


19.  I have jobbed under many different caps in me life.. starting from 9yrs old: gas station
& candyshop attendant, newspaper delivery girl, babysitter, cleaner bartender & waitress
(several of those sort of in between the following), restoring & selling old furniture (my biz),
construction builder, door to door salesperson, marketing research operator, sales admin.
hostess, telemarketing salesperson, wine steward, cocktail lounge manager, jazz cafe man.
& ordinary cafe man., assistant- & restaurant man., dish washer, hotel maid, diving instructor
& tourist guide, diving instructor & co-owner of Dive Solomons, YHA manager, fitness instr. &
fitness center man., door woman at night club, receptionist, reception manager, candlemaker,
multimedia designer, graphic designer, playing myself on Rob X, assisting that used to be a
U.S Ranger killing rabbits lean mean survival machine sitting next to me up top on his team
building course with the lot more amazing blind dudes from the ParaOlympics Goal Ball team.
We friggin climbed a mountain together!, graphic designer (my biz), think tank thinker &
headhunter on a dev  team for a H.C Andersen fun park, book keeping assistant & switch
board joggler, creative director, life coach, NLP supervisor, integrated nlp life coach &
creative consultant /AD (my biz too)

 
 20.  I am amazed at virtual life & networking.
The physical dimension in friendships is of
lesser importance than I imagined. So is my use of second language when communicating
from the heart. I figured the latter would matter more. I lived with an aussie dude for like
6 yrs and he would never really get me. You gais do. Come to think of it his sense of humor
was a bit off. Don't ask why I kept that man for so long. You know why tsk.  And this spinning
spacekid sputnik is so very grateful for cruising through space in this awesome mothership
of Gaia with the coolest crew & all of you starific space invaders. I have a blast every time
I am on grid. It sure does feel like home.


now, passing the tag forward to you... catch!
