"Amanda Likes To" meme
I rarely do Meme's. But putting off going to Sainsbury's on a cold, grey Saturday morning and I came across this one on little.red.boat which is really quite entertaining.
What you do is type in "[Your name] likes to" into Google, and then paste the results of the search. Some interesting things come up :)
1. Amanda likes to do it in her community. What exactly? You can get arrested for that kind of thing.
2. Amanda likes to dance. Well, I loved ballet - hence training for 11 years (and one of the reasons I now skate). However, I am not that keen on dancing on a night out - I tend to feel a bit stoopid. Unless I have had copious amounts of alcohol . . .
3. Amanda likes to escape reality from time to time. Undeniably true. I am one of the worlds worst daydreamers. Bus journeys to work are the worst. I have missed my stop at least twice . . . which is quite clever when you think that my stop is Euston bus depot.
4. Amanda likes to distract herself with silliness. I am blessed to have a best friend who shares the same silly sense of humour I do. One journey on a bus (not daydreaming this time) and we were in hysterics about something silly - prawns I think. Some sad humourless person sitting behind us said to their travelling companion "Those two are talking complete drivel".
5. Amanda likes to draw, paint, write comic books, read Jhonen Vasquez comics . . . got to the comic bit and lost you there I'm afraid. I do like to draw and paint though. I should practice more.
6. Amanda likes to listen to 80's music. I like any music really. Really quite eclectic mixture of things on my iPod, from Britney Spears to Metallica to Il Divo to Tchaikovsky. I can't say I get the same pleasure from the Compulsory Dance tracks on there though!
7. Amanda likes to torture him. Nah - can't say I'm really that hot on sado-masochism . . .
8. Amanda likes to get jiggy with it. Hehehehehehehe . . . .
9. Amanda likes to go running. Not strictly true, but was quite impressed on my first run a couple of weeks ago, where I managed to run a mile of a 1.5mile circuit. A year ago, I'd have collapsed at the first lamp-post. Maybe I'll learn to love it . . .
10. Amanda likes to sit in her pajamas and shop for shoes on the Internet while eating Nutella straight out of the jar. There are soooo many things right with this one. Pyjamas - snuggly. Shoes - essential. Internet - hellooo! Nutella out of the jar? Yes, I have subscribed to this filthy habit in the past, but now I'm a good girl :)
Well, that was fun. I really must go and get my shopping now. That, and I want to go and get some legwarmers from Primark. I LOVE that I do a sport where I can wear legwarmers! I've even ordered some leggings . . . gulp. I feel a skirt coming on . . .
Oh, and I tag all of you skaters who read this!!!!!
