Five Things
anelith openly invited anyone reading her Five Things meme to consider themselves tagged, so here goes:
Five Places You'd Like To Live:
1) Paris. For the art, the fashion, the history.
2) York, England. Did already, once... would like to again, for a year.
3) Wellington, New Zealand. I hear they treat their artists really well there.
4) Amsterdam: because everyone I know that's been has fallen in love with the place. Want to find out why.
5) Victoria, BC. Enjoyed visiting: laid back artsy West Coast vibe, with maybe a bit less rain than Vancouver.
Five Things You Want To Accomplish:
1) get every damn box in my house unpacked. Hopefully this year.
2) complete my new corset and related accessories in time for the Con next month.
3) get some regular exercise, and attain better health because of it.
4) make friends here in my new town
5) learn to drive standard
Five Things You Can't Live Without:
1) My husband
2) good coffee
3) my computer
4) alone time
5) laughter
Five Things You Miss About Your Childhood:
1) Christmas at grammy's house in Nova Scotia
2) all the time I spent with my cousins in England. Really miss that.
3) the friendships I had in Grade 5. We only lived there for that year. Best year ever.
4) the incredibly groovy clothing my fashion-conscious father would send me
5) two words: Tree. Fort.
Five things you did or plan to do this summer:
1) went to my almost-first Con!
2) met up with Buffy fangirls in real life!
3) plan to make curtains for every room in the house
4) plan to visit the pool in the park near our house
5) hope to get the house into a state unpacked and organised enough to have a dinner party
Five favorite foods:
1) seafood- particulary crustaceans
2) Japanese food, particularly really good sushi (so-so sushi doesn't bear thinking about)
3) my mother's chicken curry with roti
4) dim sum
5) my late Nana's good English cookery
Five favorite things you can sense:
1) Hearing: birdsong waking me up in the morning. Both wild birds outside, and budgies inside!
2) Sight: sunset over the Atlantic ocean.
3) Smell: too many to name! But probably tops: the back of my husband's neck. Warm and sweet and musky.
4) Taste: my craving right now- lobster sautéed in butter and simmered in cream, over mashed potatoes.
5) Touch: "the very smooth sheets on my lovely comfortable bed" (these are Anelith's words, and they express my sentiments perfectly!)
Five things you want to learn more about:
1) I want to up my knowledge of French and of American Sign Language
2) I want to learn to play bass guitar
3) improve my grasp of music theory and sight reading
4) standard transmission... yeah, said that already.
5) PhotoShop. Just 'cuz.
Five fandoms you've never written in, but would, given the inspiration:
None- I've got my OTP and that's pretty much it, bay-bee!
