Meme - I've Been Tagged!
drained
Arrrggghh! I got tagged, not once but 4 times! (Does this mean I'm popular?) Thanks (I think) 
sariagray , usakiwigirl , magikalrhiannon and xrai_namere You're ganging up on me, I have no choice, I have to do this meme! Lol!
The Rules:
1. People who have been tagged must write the answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new, original question.
2. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
1. Make a list of 5 things that you can see without getting up. Hah! My laptop, the TV (thankfully switched OFF for once - bliss!), a clock. my teddybear Walter, a vase of dead flowers - really MUST remember to throw them out!
2. How do you style your hair? 'Style' is probably the wrong word - I just tie it back in a ponytail.
3. What are you wearing now? Burgundy velvet shirt and black track pants.
4. What's your occupation? Don't have one - used to be a Librarian before bad health got in the way.
5. What do you hear right now? Absolute silence *sighs* such bliss!
6. What's your favourite guilty pleasure treat? Dry Roasted Peanuts!
7. What are you thinking about right now? How long before I can sleep in my own bed again...?
8. Write the first word that comes to mind. Ouch! (Everytime I move, SOMETHING hurts!)
9. Dog person or cat person? I like both, but I prefer guinea pigs!
10. If you came across $2,000 (or other currency) would you keep it or turn it in? Could really use the money, but I couldn't keep it - I'd turn it in.
11. What was the last thing that you bought? Fresh haddock from our mobile fishmonger - delicious!
12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go? South America - always wanted to visit Macchu Picchu and other such places.
13. Where do you see yourself in five minutes? Still sitting in this chair posting this meme!
14. Last book you've read? Rider at the Gate by C.J. Cherryh. Haven't quite finished it yet, but it's good.
15. What are you doing this weekend? Sorting clutter and packing boxes for storage, same as every other day!
16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play? Guitar! I have one but I'm useless at playing, my fingers are too short. Or harmonica.
17. How are you? Moderately crap. No change there then.
18. What are you doing tomorrow? Same as I'm doing at the weekend - my life is not exactly varied!
19. What are you looking forward to the most? Sleeping in my own bed - God, please let it be soon, the floor is killing my hips!
20. What scares you the most and why? Being trapped in a lift. I'm claustrophobic as well as agoraphobic, and I have pretty bad panic attacks. Trapped in a small space would be a nightmare.

Sorry if I've missed you out, I've tried to pick people who haven't already been tagged by the people who tagged me!
That's okay! I just copied and pasted the whole meme into the posting window on my journal, deleted someone else's answers and filled in my own! It worked, so I guess that's okay! *grins* I'm still hopeless at computer things, but I keep trying!
I hope the reno is done soon. You deserve to sleep in a real bed. It's got to be over soon, though, right? It's been a good couple of months since the pipes burst. *knocks heads together to get the workers to work faster*
Silence is the best. That's what's on in this apartment at the moment too - my daughter and I have no music or TV and we are loving it! We don't fill the air with inane chatter like the boys do.
The peace was shattered when Mum came home - now I'm having to endure her inane soap operas, because there's nowhere else to sit! *sigh* All the screeching hystrionics make me want to put my fist through the TV! Sometimes I can't stand it and go and sit on my bedroom floor in the dark.
Yeah, I know what you mean about the peace. Ever since my hubs got home, I've had to listen to either him muttering Russian under his breath, which isn't really too much of a problem, he has to do that to learn it, but it's interspersed with random crap thrown in my direction as if I know what the fuck he's on about! I don't speak the language, I haven't taken any classes yet and damnit, I'm trying to read all the LAS stories and take notes so I can make a proper choice for voting! It's still work, of a sort!
I'm glad that you will be back in your room soon. At least the house will be more secure when this is all finished and you shouldn't have to worry about anything like this happening again, should snowpocalypse come round again (that's what the locals called winter here, apparently!).
It will be good to get the house sorted. Shame it took burst pipes to get mum to do anything. I'd been sorting and clearing for 3 YEARS, trying to get us in a position to have the work done, but all mum did was moan about the mess the house was in, then sit watching TV all day. I'd give her bags of her stuff that I found in the front room, ask her to sort through them and they'd still be by her chair, unsorted, 3 weeks later. At least we're making progress now, even though it's still me doing most of the work.
My room is wonderful, there's so much space! Shame I'll have to put so much back in it when we eventually start getting things out of storage. I'm determined to get the box room turned into a proper craft storage room though, so I don't have to keep all my craft bits and pieces in my room. I'm also determined to buy another shelf unit for the landing and put all the DVDs on that, instead of having them in 28 boxes blocking my wardrobe door! It's impossible to find what I want to watch, and I can't get at my clothes! Things are gonna change. *nods*
Hooray for silence! I almost wish it was quiet over here, but... I enjoy making my niece giggle and be bratty a little too much ;)
Smoochies, Me!!!!
I just copied and pasted the entire thing from the start of the rules to the end of the last question, pasted it in my posting window, deleted the other person's answers and filled in my own, added who tagged me at the top, put my chosen people to tag at the bottom and posted it. I stuck with the questions that were already there, but you can change any questions you want to if there are any you don't want to answer! PM me if you get stuck!
