I got tagged with the ‘7 things’ meme. Three times. Sorry to GG, Fashionistakay and Cris Lazoru for a tardy response but a) I had only just been tagged with the 3 gross / normal things one when the first tag struck b) I’ve been very busy c) I felt guilty about tagging another seven people (at least tags aren’t like chain emails “if you don’t tag another 7 people you will get a week’s bad luck” etc) d) I couldn’t think of much to write e) I’m always wary of revealing too much about my real identity and f) everyone I wanted to tag had already been got. Therefore I’m not going to tag another 7 people but I shall list six facts about myself. Which may or may not be true.
Nostalgia is one of my worst qualities. I yearn for the past, specifically the between war years in upper-middle class England. Sometimes the intensity of my thoughts and evocation of the era makes me cry in the middle of the afternoon.
I believe that the whole of Belle de Jour is a dream. Luis Bunuel was a surrealist, right? Severine was never a prostitute - it was all part of her erotic dreams.
I always put off what I should do today until tomorrow. With chores that is, not the fun stuff. Cleaning my shoes or sewing on a loose button is always shunted to the bottom of the list if there’s shopping and fucking to be done.
I want to be an actress and if I could make it big I’d give up my ______ career like that. Charity Hope Valentine would be my dream role, although I would settle with parts in Midsomer Murders or a Miss Marple remake.
This is the best body scrub ever - I use it daily. Here’s the advertisement bit: once I’ve bathed with this my skin is ultra-slippery. Way fun!
The dishes I can never choose between at Wagamama are Chicken Katsu Curry, Amai Udon, Ginger Chicken Udon and Chicken Ramen. Always accompanied by a glass of plum wine and a bowl of edamame and soy sauce. Delish.
