11 Things About Me


The lovely Deidre from Decoybetty tagged me in her post so I have to do this and am meant to tag others. Unfortunately I am kinda new to being an active part of the blogging community, so I doubt I will be able to tag 11 and will certainly have to tag people I have had next to no contact with. Oh well, new contact? :)

Apparently, we need to talk about the rules...
1) You must post these rules.
2) Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their blog.
3) Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4) You have to choose 11 people to tag and link them on the post.
5) Go to their page and tell them you linked him or her.
6) No tag backs.
7) No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this." You have to legitimately tag 11 people.


So 11 facts about me...
a. I always hit a slump between 4-6pm and often end up napping until 9pm. This really messes with ones sleeping habit.
b. I own 47 Olga Berg handbags/purses. This unhealthy addiction is currently fed by the fact I live less than 5km from the factory outlet.
c. I do not like that the mullet dress (short in the front, demure from the back) is making a comeback! AGREED Deidre.
d. I really like processed meats especially Chicken Loaf with some balsamic vinegar.
e. My long term goal is to work part time.
f.  I have been enrolled at 13 different universities. I am addicted to study. I frequently start and stop a few weeks later. This stems from my uncertainty about what I want to do with my life.
g.  I cry in movies when fat people get food taken away from them by bullies or old people are neglected.
h.  I lack assertiveness. This always surprises people when they figure it out. I am brash, but not assertive.
i. Oh and I am also an introvert - another constant source of shock to people.
j. I have a blood disorder which many fellow sufferers believe makes them a human compass. I have a great sense of direction so I concur.
k.I am a fantastic ideas person but am not so great at putting my ideas into action.

Decoybetty's questions/statements are as follows:

1. What motivates you? I really struggle to answer this one - I guess deep down it's a 'need' to live the best life I possibly can and experience everything I can.
2. How do you like your tv series, on dvd for watching all at once or doled out once a week? Definitely one big hit. None of this 'waiting for next week' bullshit for Ruby!
3. True or False: they don't make boy bands like they used to. Definitely True. NKOTB, Kriss Kross, Colour Me Badd, Boyz II Men. I don't need to go on right?
4. What's the comfort food you go to when you need a pick me up? Any variation on Potato, Cheese & Bacon. Definitely chive free.
5. How would you spend your ideal day? Sunshine, good friends, good music, exploring and a few drinks
6.  If there is something holding you back, what is it? My mothers overly cautious voice in my head!
7. I just heard Sofia Vergara say that she is actually a blonde but dyes her hair brunette. When Ellen asked her who has fun blondes or brunettes Sofia responded "girls with bigger boobs." True or False? I cannot answer either way. I am a well endowed brunette. I have fun, but I don't feel like my hair colour nor breast size influences it either way.
8. Talk me through your next honeymoon. Endless. Europe and never coming back!
9. What are you jonesing for right now? (could be food, clothing item, a pair of shoes, whatever!)  4D Sydney puzzle.
10. What's your favourite Roald Dahl book? Matilda
11. What sound is the most annoying to you? People chewing with their mouth open or loud swallowers.

Ruby's questions...
1. If you could have any job in the world, regardless of income, qualifications etc, what would it be?
2. What is your most "uncool" hobby?
3. If you could only change one thing about your life in 2012 what would it be?
4. What is the worst movie you have ever seen?
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?
6. What is your favourite possession?
7. Which movie/tv star did you have a crush on growing up?
8. What is your favourite joke or random quote?
9. Are you a Grease or Grease 2 person?
10. Favourite Simpson's character?
11. Do you need a 'friend' with you in order to eat KFC?


And now here are the people I'm tagging...

1. Moments that Define Life
2. Bianca and the B-Sides
3. After 9 to 5

I did this tag too, it was so much fun! And very true - they don't make boy bands the way they used to!

Enjoyed getting to know you better Ruby.

Deidre said...

Yay! I would never of guessed that you were an introvert (me too).

Ruby said...

Deidre - I totally get my energy from being alone - if I don't get alone time I go nuts. I can be very outgoing so I am not an extreme introvert but as I have had introversion/extroversion explained to me I fall on the introversion side of the scale.

OMG, thank you SO much for giving me something to blog about!! I am totally lazy and uninspired, so this gives me not only a template, but also a chance to check out your awesome blog! SA-WEEEEET!! ;)
