			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>1. What was the first band you saw in concert?</b><br />
OK, well let me just preface my answer with the fact that my friend&#8217;s mother bought us both tickets to see the Uncanny X-Men (yes&#8230;the shame, the shame) when I was in Year 8 and my parents wouldn&#8217;t let me go. Grrr. So&#8230;my first concert was actually when I was 14 &#8211; I saw Inxs at the Tennis Centre. They rocked.</p>
<p><b>2. Who is your favorite artist/band now?</b><br />
There is no way known that I could have <i>one</i> favourite. This is too hard!</p>
<p><b>3. What&#8217;s your favorite song?</b><br />
Oh God. See the answer above. Well&#8230;<i>Carolyn&#8217;s Fingers</i> by the <a href="http://www.cocteautwins.com/">Cocteau Twins</a> always makes me happy&#8230;so that would be up there in the top five, at least!</p>
<p><b>4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be?</b><br />
The fiddle. I wanted to learn it when I was little (so I could carry around a cool looking violin case) but I got shunted off to piano lessons instead.</p>
<p><b>5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why?</b><br />
Hum. I think I&#8217;d have to meet David Gedge of <a href="http://www.westnet.com/weddoes/">The Wedding Present</a>. Yep.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>1. Who is your favorite celebrity?</b><br />
<a href="http://www.chrisbaker.co.uk/">Susan Sarandon</a></p>
<p><b>2. Who is your least favorite?</b><br />
That Diddy Daddy Puff guy.</p>
<p><b>3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?</b><br />
Yes</p>
<p><b>4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?</b><br />
Yes please! Why? Oh, I just crave money and attention ;o)</p>
<p><b>5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?</b><br />
I keep having to remind myself that <u>celebrity</u> means; <i>A person of distinction or renown; &#8212; usually in the plural; as, he is one of the celebrities of the place.</i> Hmmm. I cannot think who I&#8217;d be! Maybe Kim Deal from <a href="http://www.noaloha.com">The Breeders</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I wasn&#8217;t at work long enough on Friday to do my Friday Five (or anything else for that matter!) so here it is&#8230;though some questions may be slightly skewed by the fact that I&#8217;m posting this on Sunday&#8230;</p>
<p><b>1. What was the last TV show you watched?</b><br />
Last night we got out the video of <i>Minority Report</i>, which sat unwatched because Fred and Ginger were on the ABC in <i>Shall We Dance</i>&#8230;.</p>
<p><b>2. What was the last thing you complained about?</b><br />
Living in this house! It&#8217;s the size of a caravan and I&#8217;m plauged by the fact that it has pale blue carpet (well it was blue when we moved in, now it&#8217;s a charming shade of grey) and that my parents are the landlords&#8230;untenable.</p>
<p><b>3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?</b><br />
Dylan. I told him he was excellent for making so much progress on the video clip so quickly!</p>
<p><b>4. What was the last thing you threw away?</b><br />
Most of the crap on my study floor.</p>
<p><b>5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?</b><br />
The <a href="http://www.movabletype.org">Movable Type</a> support forum.<br />
<a id="more-118"></a><br />
Just saw some stills from the video clip experiment that we shot on Thursday night. I could kill my orthodontist!! I had braces for three years from the age of eleven until I was about fourteen&#8230;they didn&#8217;t bloody work at all, and in every clip we&#8217;ve done there are scary-tooth shots that I scream about&#8230;*sigh* I did get offered free braces when they didn&#8217;t work but as I was tortured and fourteen years old, I said &#8216;no way!&#8217; I would get them now if the offer was still there. Grr.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
Uh oh.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?</b><br />
No. I try, and occasionally succeed, but as I&#8217;m sitting here surrounded by piles of paper, none of which is in any sort of order&#8230;I have to say no &#8211; I am not organised.</p>
<p><b>2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?</b><br />
I have a palm pilot, a diary, a work calendar and a home calendar&#8230;um&#8230;and I use none of them with any kind of regularity. I&#8217;m so bad.</p>
<p><b>3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?</b><br />
Is this a joke?</p>
<p><b>4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?</b><br />
The only thing I have ever alpabetised is my vinyl collection. I can find things amidst my own chaos &#8211; it&#8217;s just that other people flouder hopelessly when they encounter it.</p>
<p><b>5. What&#8217;s the hardest thing you&#8217;ve ever had to organize?</b><br />
Artwork for CDs &#8211; the fonts, the colours, the conflicting software programs&#8230;I could go on. Even organising a punk rock Wilderness Society Benefit gig was easier!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>1. What drinking water do you prefer &#8212; tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?</b><br />
Well, until I worked here, I would have said that I&#8217;m quite happy slumming it with tap water. But&#8230;the water from the pipes in the room that I work in deliver water that tastes like it&#8217;s been experimented on. Soooo&#8230;I walk down the corridor and up two flights of stairs to the next floor where the filtered water tap is. I use the scary water for tea (on the assumption that the scariness is all boiled out of it and the taste is masked by tea).</p>
<p>Oh &#8211; and when I go to Adelaide and Hervey Bay, I drink bottled water because the water in both those places tastes like it&#8217;s come straight from a public swimming pool.</p>
<p><b>2. What are your favourite flavor of chips?</b><br />
Plain.</p>
<p><b>3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?</b><br />
Soyaroni with creamy mushroom sauce, snow peas and parmesan cheese.</p>
<p><b>4. How do you have your eggs?</b><br />
Poached</p>
<p><b>5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?</b><br />
OMG. Last night. M made me a warm chicken salad with lime dressing and fried potatos. I almost passed out in joy.</p>

My writing, my music and my diehard quest to escape fulltime work. </p>
<p><b>2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?</b><br />

Agatha Christie</center></p>
<p><b>3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?</b><br />
Oh bother. There&#8217;s three. But I&#8217;ll just say one. Getting my eyes lasered.<br />

Whatever they try to tell you, you will NEVER need to know how to do long-division.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ooh, I&#8217;ve missed the last two Friday Fives due to moving and general dramas.<br />
<b>1. What were your favorite childhood stories?</b><br />
Flat Stanley<br />
Anything by Enid Blyton<br />
Nancy Drew</p>
<p><b>2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?</b><br />
Well, the children bit is questionable, but see Question 1 and add Harry Potter to the mix.</p>
<p><b>3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?</b><br />
I have re-read the Enid Blytons on occasions and was sad that I wasn&#8217;t as addicted as I was when I read them the first time <img src='http://www.miaowthecat.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif' alt=':o' class='wp-smiley' /> (</p>
<p><b>4. How old were you when you first learned to read?</b><br />
Can&#8217;t remember being not able to read. Four?</p>
<p><b>5. Do you remember the first &#8216;grown-up&#8217; book you read? How old were you?</b><br />
I think it was either The Saint or an Agatha Christie &#8211; I would have been about nine. I read them and collect them both still &#8211; I know no shame.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Friday Five.
Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?</b><br />
Yes. Alison.</p>
<p><b>2. Are you still in touch with this person?</b><br />
No.</p>
<p><b>3. Do you have a current close friend?</b><br />
Well&#8230;I do, but not up here in Queensland. Woe.</p>
<p><b>4. How did you become friends with this person?</b><br />
By being involved in theatre/drama.</p>
<p><b>5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?</b><br />
Well, occasionally I feel like I wish I was in regular contact with David Wilson or Kirsty.  Why? Because David and I enjoy harrassing each other and I&#8217;d like to know whether Kirsty survived to reach age thirty.</p>
