This is me swooping. First up, the 'five' thing.
-----
Five things in my bag:
Geez, the only bag I ever carry around with me is my work bag, which is, um, exciting. Let's have a rummage…
• Two notepads - one for work, one for my own writing. I like to keep these things separate, y'see.
• Two biros - one blue, one black, both were freebies.
• A flyer for Nada Surf's latest album that I was given at the Nada Surf gig back in February and haven't gotten around to throwing away yet.
• Some old headphones.
• The latest draft of my book, two-thirds of which has been proofread.
Five favourite things in my room:
Well, I do have more than one room, but for the purposes of this I'm going to select my bedroom - mainly just to taunt certain people who shall never see the inside of it.
• My bed. This was a bitch to make, but it's unbelievably comfortable, so I'll forgive it.
• A big foam Rolling Stones lips logo that you're supposed to wear on your hand. Although I suppose it would fit on other kinds of protuberances.
• A signed picture of William Shatner and Patrick Stewart from Star Trek Generations. Unlike T-Bird's signed picture of Han and Leia, the two captains are not kissing.
• A groovy colour-change lamp that Marcosy bought me for my birthday just before I moved into Sparky Towers.
• A long-box containing the few comic books I've kept over the years, rather than take back to the shop for credit.
Five things I have always wanted to do:
Hmmm…
• Write an awesome novel/story/script/graphic novel. I know, I know - I'm working on it!
• Climb a mountain. Blame Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
• Be in a big movie or TV Series. I had a brief chat with Tom Hardy (yes, Shinzon from Star Trek Nemesis) a few years back, and he asked me if I was an actor. I said "no," when my response should've been "no, but do you think I should be?"
• Autumn Reeser.
• Have kids. Seriously, I really hope that one day I can have a family of my own. I would totally want to give up work and be a house husband (well, I'd still write, but it would be cool if my wife was the real bread-winner - not because I'm lazy, it's just that I'd love to be the one to pick the kids up from school, etc. Or maybe I could be so filthy rich that neither of us had to work?).
Five things I'm currently into:
Oh, this should be easy…
• Gossip Girl. Good lord this series is addictive. XOXO, LOL!
• Cycling. I've got my bike groove back and I just want to go out cycling all the time. I'm thinking about getting some lights so I can stay out when it's dark.
• Scrabulous on Facebook. This is totally addictive, and I think I'm getting rather good at it. I might even have to have a Scrabble evening round Sparky Towers!
• Gardening. An odd one, this. I've suddenly developed a bit of a thing for plants. I don't actually have a garden, so I'm having to make do with rubbing myself in compost house plants and tubs.
• Your mum, but she's playing hard to get. Cheeky!

Right, let's move on to the iPod one. Or in my case, iPhone one. Ooo, touch me!

Well, that was all rather … cryptic and bizarre. Would anyone like to get all Freudian and delve into the secret meanings of all this tripe?
I won't appoint any further taggees, as I think everyone's already been covered… Oh, aside from Tara, Willowc, and Watch*Paint*Dry if they're up for the challenge!
34 comments:
"How can you just leave me standin' alone in a world that's so cold..." Love Prince. I really do.
I'm totally up for the challenge! I don't have an IPod, though, I have an MP3 player and I'll need to dust it off to see what songs are still on there. I haven't used it in awhile. Eek!
Maybe certain people haven't seen inside your room? OR, MAYBE THEY HAVE!!! MWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH AHA!
* ahem *
I like gardening. I could help with the compost rubbin- I mean, Autumn buryin- Oh, what the Hells. Let's just play Scrabble. Somewhat coincidently (and non-stalkingly) I'm hosting a Scrabble evening on Tuesday - You're more than welcome!
Tara - Any MP3 player will do! Go for it!
Inexplicable Device - A Scrabble evening, hmmm? Do I detect AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE?!
Fine, I'll do it, but you might want to post the sodding rules, or really it's just me typing nonsense with a handy numbering system. You'd never tell it apart from my usual posts.
Which one, Willow? The iPod one is for shuffling and random play to answer the questions that are in bold. Erm the five one is just a perve into people's lives and minds.
Tim, my immediate reaction to reading your meme was 'oh. He really does like Matchbox Twenty a WHOLE lot.'
Plus, I plan to axe you in this scrabble game. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Awesome memes!
Your biggest secret: Busted. Heh. that one was my favourite.
I told you Gossip Girl would get you!
* pulls tiles out of bag *
E. N. S. N. A. R. E.
Oh. Would you look at that!
Willowc - Just what T-Bird said. Now stop procrastinating and crack on!
T-Bird - BRING. IT. ON.
Oh, and yeah, I do like Matchbox Twenty a lot. I'm listening to them a lot more at the moment because I'm still in that post-gig flush, and iPhone seems to know this because it keeps throwing them up on shuffle!
Dinah - Thank god my biggest secret is not ACTUALLY Busted. I hate them.
Inexplicable Device - HA! You wish!!
R.E.T.C.H.
Sheryl Crow?
Of course I'm not one to talk.
I love scrabble!
*goes off to read that insanely long post below*
iPods are really weird at pulling up the songs you didn't know you wanted to listen to, but do.
I also love Scrabble. And Scrabulous.
Cyberpete - Yeah, love her! And she loves me…
Scrabble me up on Facebook!
T-Bird - I'm convinced mine's psychic.
Dinah - Scrabble me up!
It seems Scrabble's the new black. I must get a hat made of Scrabble...
Ha! You'd look stupid!!
Tim I think you made a typo by leaving in that 'd yeah?
*chuckles and tries to stalk IDV on facebook*
I am so up for the challenge but I don't know what to do... I don't know what a meme is either. I have been away for the weekend and I think I may have left my brain there, but not me ipod.
And I see you are getting fabulous with the scrabulous...
Conspiring against me, eh Tim & Cyberpetra?
And stalking too?!?
What kind of sick, depraved loony would resort to stalking?
* coughs discreetly *
Cyberpete - Damn right I did!
Watch*Paint*Dry - Damn right I am!
Inexplicable Device - Damn right we are!
Damn!
Watch out, people. Tim's a scrabble shark. He lets you leave the gate with a good lead, but then sneeks up from behind and BAM!
He comes first.
That was some really shaky double entendre, wasn't it? Oh well...
IDV - Ha!
T-Bird - Damn right I am! And yes, you're on pretty shaky ground there, but I'll let you off because of your migraine.
But I won't tolerate such shenanigans again!
In other news - I totally scrabbled up a certain witch with a super word earlier.
Yes, and a certain witch was shocked and appalled. It's totally thrown the certain witch off his or her game. So I hear.
It's as if he or she was palying against Piggy, not Tim. The witch told me.
Hey IDV since I'm such a rubbish stalker, could you please look me up on Facebook
I'd love for you to....something scrabulous
Actually, CyberPetra, I did try last night, but there's about a million of you. I noticed you on Tim's Movies application, but that only showed me your Flixter account. Are you able to click on me at Tim's?
The thing is, I don't know who you are.
Tim has so many handsome friends..
I will look for you though. Can't you find me by searching my name?
Maybe I've found you now?
It sure looks like you
He's pretty sexy. So am I. Find me. Meow.
I don't have a migraine to blame that on...
You surely have, CyberPetra.
And you surely are, T-Bird. No migraine necessary!
* remembers who's Blog this is *
Oh, you're OK too, Tim...
*goes hunting for T-birdy*
Don't mind me, you lot.
IDV has me on a linky on Stalkbook. I'm not called T-Bird there though. I'll put my one and only pretty picture up too.
Oh - er... Hi Tim.
T-birdy I think it would be easier if you added me.
Oh hey Tim!
Hmmm. Ok. I'll go over the Stalkbook and look for sexy Danes on IDV's list of friends then.
Oh, y'know, hey you guys… hope you're … oh, no one's listening…
*Flashes man-tits and flips the bird*
