Though heavily introverted IRL, I cannot pass up an opportunity to talk about myself in blogland :)
4 Things I did 10 Years Ago (1998) - How am I supposed to remember that far back?
- Had a 21st birthday party. My first party since my 10th. I spent months dreading the thought of having a party and being the center of attention; but in the end I pulled it off. Wore a peach dress that made me look totally cute and female. Vastly different from my everyday jeans & shirt uniform
- They had such a good cafeteria in the office and on the oil rigs that I put on a chunk of weight and for the first time in my life, I hit the 40kg (80lb) mark. I was sooooo happy
- Got involved in campus politics and ran around campus campaigning for a friend's student union presidency bid. He lost!
4 Things I did 5 Years Ago (2003) - Now that I can remember vaguely
- Took my first vacation as a working girl - spent 6 weeks in London, UK; Baltimore, Houston, Atlanta & New Jersey. Total fun. Single, young & carefree. I look back with nostalgia.
- Gave up on THAT relationship where the young man has commitement-phobia
- My "friend" who got to counsel me on all my relationship woes (and I offered equally good assvice in return) became my boyfriend
- Took helicopter underwater escape training as part of the job. What does this entail - strapped into a helicopter model in the deep end of a pool wearing a lifevest, the helicopter is flipped upside down and you have to unstrap yourself and "escape" out of one of the windows and swim to safety. Pretty tasking even if you can swim. I can't swim. I can't even float. It was VERY scary; but I did it and I learnt two very important lessons that day: 1-I can do a lot of things once I put my mind to it. 2-I will never do that again until I learn how to swim.
4 Things I did Yesterday - now this I definitely remember
- Finally got an internet cable subscription for the house
- Bought a router from Best.Buy and set up the wifi for house AND realised its really easy to do AND realised I should have saved myself the $70 installation fee and installed the internet thing myself. DUH!
- Returned the pile of books I had borrowed for my post-ET bedrest to the public library. I was two weeks late. No good.
4 Shows I love to watch - I try to stay away from anything that will induce a hyper-emotional response from me so no Idol and no soap operas
- Law & Order:SVU - makes me a bit paranoid, but I can't resist
- Will & Grace - easy comedy
- Flavor of love - disgustingly silly but I can't look away :)
- Throwdown with Bobby Flay - I'm not even sure if that's the name, but I enjoy a lot of the food network's competitive shows
4 things I love to do
- sleep - wish I did more of it
- shop - would like to do less of it :)
- read - I used to be able to read anything, but these days my attention span has limited me to romantic paperbacks that I can get through in a couple of hours
- Plan for my early retirement into a lap of luxury (popularly known as daydreaming)
Hope y'all had a good weekend.
