Sunday Stealing: Meme Schmeme

 I rather like this week's questions. I've had a write today - sitting in a friend's office as she prepared for her birthday party. I did offer to help just as I knew that she would rather do it herself. But I've had a write today. 

Anyway, I'm back from her birthday party - I stayed a few hours, but after being around people for a few hours, I left, rather drained, and now I'm watching the UK version of The Celebrity Traitors. (It's great fun, particularly as I love a few of the participants. 

Anyway, I can do this in dot point form, as that is all I have in me at the moment. 

Questions, as always, have been provided by Sunday Stealing

Complete the thought:

I AM:

  • Tired
  • A little overwhelmed
  • Thirsty
  • Wanting a day to do nothing.
  • Hopeful
  • Watching the UK version of The Celebrity Traitors. 

I LIVE:

  • In Melbourne, Australia
  • For intellectual stimulation
  • In hope that the world will see some sense. 

I THINK:

  • Barnaby Joyce is an arsehole. 
  • Russian Literature is overrated
  • That the city of Portland, Oregon looks like a funky place to be. 
  • I would love to live in Paris for a while. 
  • I am very employable. (Looking for my next job at the moment.)

I KNOW:

  • That I will get a new job soon. 
  • That I can complete this novel. 
  • That there are good Americans. 
  • That French butter is absolutely incredible. 
  • That I want to have a shower and go read my book now.

I WANT:

  • The Ritalin I've just started on will help my messy brain. 
  • To lose a bit of weight. 
  • Celia Imrie to stay on the UK version of The Celebrity Traitors. She's awesome. 
  • A jar of the lemon curd that was at this party today. 
  • To be back in pain employment in the near future. (I will be)
  • To go to bed in the next hour. 

I WISH: 

  • My cat, Lucifer, was a bit cuddlier. 
  • I could win a sizeable amount in the Lotto. 
  • I had a European passport. 
  • I'd booked my flights for next week slightly later. 
  • We had free public transport. 

I PRAY:

  • For world peace. Can't ask for much more than that.

Hi Pand,

I don't normally watch the Traitors either but I decided to give it a try because Stephen Fry is in it plus some other people I like (Nick Mohammed, Celia Imrie, Lucy Beaumont etc.). I am enjoying it, I have to say.

(I Live) In hope that the world will see some sense. - Absolutely. Me too, Pand. We are living in divided, depressing and dangerous times.

I would lend you my two cats (Ziggy and Star) as they are cuddlers (and black like Lucifer).

Good answers.

:o)

Cheers

PM

I noticed that The Traitors won a whole lot of Emmys; I've never seen it, but maybe I'll try it. I hope you get a job soon. I get overwhelmed by parties after a while. Some Americans ARE kind of all right!

I've watched one season of The Traitors--I'll have to look into it! Thanks for understanding that not all Americans are fascist trolls.
