little lamb on a hill

Sometimes I wish I was small.

Not so small that I didn't exist, because that's selfish, mercenary and I'm not a coward.

I just wish I was small enough to remain unnoticed at times.

So that I could be carried around in someone's pocket.

My status on facebook at 22:07 yesterday was "little lamb on a hill", which is a line from Yes, I Am Blind by Morrissey.

I can't find the original on youtube, so this will have to do.

social networking

I have been tagged in a quiz by Ergy Erg - I swear this feels like the ultimate combination of Myspace, Facebook and Twitter!

There's a first time for everything, so here goes...:

1. Arrr What dog will that be?

For he is not an aardvark:

2. Have you ever got anything good from those 1 pound toy dispensers where you can get

little key chains and hello kitty phone charms?

I used to "collect" the little Winnie the Pooh keyrings where he was dressed up as christmas pies/sunflowers/pigs/etc. Looking back they were barely worth 4 pence :p

3. Band or banned?

I'm with the band (even if I'm banned from seeing them ;) ). Like them on Facebook HERE. You'll hear more about them in the future, I'm sure (:

(For people who know me, don't read into that)

4.Want to go and get a beer mate?

Only if that beer is a double amaretto and cranberry juice. THE DRINK OF GODS.

5.Do you like the Goofy Movie!?

6.What is your favourite novelty 90's band!?

MC Hammer

7. Do you like animated 90's gifs

The hell, Caroline?! (ha, I had to look at your Lookbook to find your name, I just refer to you as "ergy" pronounced like "eurgh-gee" in my head :p ) But I like the nineties, and I like gifs. I'll just put MC Hammer in again, for funsies. (:

8.What's the best ever thing you've got from a souvenir/museum shop?

She's from Ireland and hangs on my bedroom door (:

seventeen is my favourite number

Today has been rather a languid and apathetic day.

I didn't sleep very well, had to go to the doctor's and watched a documentary on the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy (it was a Culture Show special on BBC2, check it out on iPlayer)

But, as it was my brother's birthday recently, we have chocolate cake in the house. So I put on my favourite dress and had a bedroom picnic (:
