Sigh

Am really struggling with motivation lately.

I am still struggling to find a new job and it is becoming quite stressful and depressing. There is nothing out there unless you are a specialist ie. nurses, accountants etc.

Am trying to keep myself as busy as possible though, otherwise I would be going stir crazy being at home all the time.

Am really loving all my dance classes. Tap, Irish, Jazz, Rock n Roll and belly dancing.

Have also rediscovered my love of penpalling. And I mean proper snail mailing with people all over the world.
Am particularly thrilled to be back in touch with Amanda in Brooklyn who I lost touch with several years ago. And the exciting thing is, I'll get to meet up with her on my upcoming trip! Yay!

So, although things are quite difficult at the moment, I am rather happy. Am seeing a new guy and he is really really nice and very sweet. He cooked me a candlelit dinner the other night :)
He is also not an asshole. Quite an improvement for me, as they seem to be the only ones I ever fall for. Oh, and he has no acting / theatre background, which I have found also contributes greatly to the arrogant, selfish, lying, cheating asshole nature!

Um...other than all that, not much is new with me since the last time I posted......which I realise was a very long time ago. I should really have more posts, being at home all day long, but nothing worth blogging about has happened!
Maybe I should start thinking up random topics to post opinions about.....hmm...

And now, some Friday Fives to pad out this rather lame entry:

1. What would you do right now, if money were not an issue?
Open my fairy shop.

2. What would you do for the next three years, if money were not an issue?

Spending time with a really nice guy who makes me happy.

4. What types of things do you find enjoyable that require no money?
Going to the movies....well I only have three passes left, then it will start costing money!

Like "getting busy" getting busy?? Um....I guess, trying to get bunny out of the room...I mean....she IS a rabbit!

4. What is the biggest waste of time on the Internet?
Facebook.

5. What do you do at a restaurant to waste time when waiting for your meal?
Read the drinks menu.



1. If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
Yummy food :p Nah, it would be a real 1950s themed dinner with burgers and cherry cokes and sundaes etc. Served on rollerskates!

What activity can you not believe you survived in your childhood?
Ballet. The number of twisted ankles I had oveer those 11 years!

What activity can you not believe kids get away with today?
Nothing. As in actually doing nothing and just sitting in front of the tv / playstation / computer all day long.

If you could be anyone else in the world live or dead, who would you choose to be?
Audrey Hepburn.

A lot of people think they've been in love at 15 or 16 years old, do you think you now look back and think you were a stupid kid or do you believe that you were old enough to know what love is?
Gosh. I wasn't ready even when I was 19/20 as it turned out!

Do you think it is possible to remain in love with someone you once loved, but haven't seen in a year?
Depends on the circumstances I guess. I sometimes feel like I'm still in love with my ex, the one who really broke me 3 years ago. But then I remind myself that everything he did and was was a complete lie and not him at all, so really I am in love with the idea of him that he managed to create.




Do you enjoy reading?
Yes, absolutely.

What is the first book you remember reading?
Probably those Tom and Jane books. "See Tom run. Run, Tom, run."

Who is your favourite author?
Have way too many to choose from....but maybe if I had to chose just one....Nicholas Sparks. Haven't read a single novel of his that I didn't enjoy.

What is your favourite book?
Gone With the Wind.

What is the last book you read and the first you'll read next?
I just finished "Plenty More Fish in The CBD - A Guy's Guide for Hooking the Right Girl and Keeping Her". Very funny and full of good advice for Kiwi guys. Next...will probably get stuck back into Les Miserables which I started the other night.



Ear worms are those annoying little songs that get stuck in your head. Sometimes they are the last song you hear on the radio before you go into the office, sometimes they just randomly pop in.

What is a common ear worm that you get?
Usually something from a musical. Most commonly that musical is Wicked.

How long do they last?
Thankfully not that long.

What do you do to get rid of them?
I have to finish the entire song.

What is the worse ear worm you've ever had?
Um....The Song That Doesn't End.

Do you get some guilty pleasure in passing the ear worm along?
Hehe...YES!
