Blame [livejournal.com profile] mr_malk

1. I've come to realize that my ex is: N/A. I ain't got one. (So said Malk, and so say I).

2. I am listening to: Listening for, not to. Dave will be home soon: I'm listening for the sound of a diesel engine.

3. I talk: Yes. Given a social occasion, I do this. Failing that, I email, YM, and chat on forums.

4. I love: Dave. Oh, hang on, this is meant to be meaningful, right? Um. The "oh, wow, look at that" moment when you see the sunlight through a skylight putting rainbows down the wall, or a flower silhouetted against the fields, or.... you know the ones. You see it, and it's gone. The silence in the high mountains, when you listen, and listen, and hear the wind, and a sheep on the next peak. And then there's a deep croak, and a raven flies past. The "yes! got it!" moment when you suddenly see how three incompatible ideas will fit together to make something sleek and perfect that leads on to more.

5. I have: far too many interests, plans, and ambitions to fit into a mere 24 hours per day, and that's before we allow for working or sleeping.

7. I lost: My Yodelling Marmot. This is a real shame, because I had plans for him to star in a series of photographs for a current Flickr challenge. And he's hiding.
Marmot

8. I hate it when: I can't find things. I know exactly where they are, only they aren't. And when I have ideas, and plans, and I'm too tired to do more than look at them, and then do something silly like filling in a meme. I should be writing my posts to four different RPGs, plus one I'm running. I'm not.

9. Love is: Happiness that doesn't need a reason.

10. Marriage: a legal irrelevance that happens to coincide with having spent nearly 20 years living in the same space as my best friend. Who I'm also wildly in love with. Still a little puzzled that after all this time, this wonderful person is still willing to hang around with me....

12. I'll always be: trying to do more than I can possibly manage, plus just a little bit extra. And failing. And kicking myself. And then taking on something extra, because it's a chance to learn something new.

13. I have a crush on: My husband, of course. He's gorgeous. Oh, you wanted something more, something silly? OK. Miles Vorkosigan.

14. The last time I cried was: A few weeks back: got all depressed about nothing (well, nothing much), very tired, went and hid in the Ladies for a bit.

15. My cell phone is: What do you thin I am, some sort of American? It's a MOBILE phone, not a prisoner! And it's also (and more importantly) a PDA, holding my calendar, diary, current writing projects, email, memory, life..... I believe it can also make phone calls.

16. When I wake up in the morning: if Dave's on day shift, he's just handed me a coffee (and a hug, and a kiss) before leaving. I lie there and listen to Classic FM for a bit, and tell the PDA to see if there's any new overnight email. If there's one saying that CRS failed to restart, I hit the adrenaline, grab a dressing-gown on the way to the lap-top, and find out what's gone wrong, possibly prior to dressing properly in record time and driving to work while eating whatever I grabbed out of the fridge. That system has to be working by 7am. If not... doze, wander around, make breakfast (probably cooked), make sandwiches, do email, check progress of games, LJ, Flickr... head for work just in time to arrive late (again).

17. Before I go to sleep at night: my typing slows and stops. Shortly afterwards, when my head hits the laptop (again), I realise that I won't get any more done tonight, and go to bed.

18. Right now I am thinking about: filling in this meme, of course! Daft question! And how to rejoin an RPG I'd dropped out of while away for two weekends in a row, how to set up a photo for the scavenger hunt, the army list(s) if I expand my Orlanthi army and split it into two separate but allied 24-point forces, whether I've finished tidying the sewing/painting room enough (no), and where Dave's got to.

19. Babies are: things that get fed at one end and make mess at the other. Choice of asleep or howling. No redeeming features due to appear for at least 5 years, probably longer. Keep them away - if you produced them, you're responsible for them, not me.

20. I get on myspace: Never.

21. Today I: went to work, fixed a couple of problems, thought up solutions to a couple of others.

22. Tonight I will: write at least one RPG post. Really. Oh, and find a cuddly cat and Dave's top hat and set up a photo. Probably. If I can find the hat.

23. Tomorrow I will: go to work again.

24. I really want: an extra 24 hours per day

25. The people I want to tag with this are: anyone who feels like it, I'm not bothered.
