Three things

This was borrowed from Teeny. Prepare to be dazzled by an amazing insight into my life…


Three Things That Scare Me:

Spiders, spiders, spiders. They are horrible, horrible, horrible. I have actually got slightly better about this as I have got older and can just about tolerate small spiders but big ones get hoovered up.
That A will never get in touch and we’ll never be back on speaking terms.
That I might die alone (although actually being dead doesn’t scare me)

Three People Who Make Me Laugh:

My nephew
D who I used to sit next to at work but sadly he now works somewhere else.
My friend S who sometimes says the most funny things. Whenever we speak I end up laughing a lot.

Three Things I Love:

Canada. I don’t know why but I do.
Marmite.
My nephew.

Three Things I Hate:

People trying to get a on a tube train before people have finished getting off.
The clocks going forward (but only on that day because I lose an hour’s sleep).
Waiting for my mum to turn up for things. She is often not just a few minutes late, sometimes I have had to wait over an hour for her. I always try and remember to have a book handy now (to read not to hit her with).

Three Things I Don't Understand:

Why some people think silence solves things or makes them go away.
Why if you want your staff to perform at their best you treat them really badly or ignore what they say.
Why if people have a choice between saying something nice and saying something mean, they say something mean.

Three Things On My Desk:

Er… Does that mean the desk my computer is on because it’s not actually on a desk… On my desk at work though is:

A mug in desperate need of washing (and just needs to be chucked out anyway as it has a big crack in it)
A piece of chemical crystals thing (It’s not some new agey thing. I don’t quite know how to describe it) that a 12 year old boy gave me and I keep it because it meant a lot that he gave it to me.
A car windscreen scraper – for no logical reason whatsoever seeing as I don’t drive to work.

Three Things I'm Doing Right Now:

Watching TV
Running a virus scan on my computer.
Wondering why I am doing this meme because my brain doesn’t really work in this sort of way.

Three Things I Want To Do Before I Die:

Find a job that I really enjoy.
Find someone to spend my life with.
Go back to Canada.

Three Things I Can Do:

Sing
Draft really well – although I don’t think that is entirely clear from what I write on my blog.
Parallel park.

Three Things I Can't Do:

Go back on my word.
Write neatly - I really should have been a doctor. Although hating blood or anything medical would have been a slight disadvantage with that.

Have a conversation with my father that doesn’t turn into an argument.

Three Things I Think You Should Listen To:

Your conscience.
People who need to get stuff off their chest.
New (to you) music, as often as possible.

As an aside in a few of the responses I have read to this on other people’s blogs, they have said “Your parents”. I actually cannot think of any advice my parents have ever given me. Weird…

Three Things You Should Never Listen To:

Pretty much anything reported in the press – particularly the Daily Mail.
Anyone who cannot admit that they are wrong or is unable to utter the words “I don’t know”
Conspiracy theorists.

Three Things I'd Like To Learn:

Something musical, possibly the piano as I think it would be good to have more of a creative outlet.
A foreign language. Oh how I wish I had paid more attention at school…
How to do some bits of DIY.

Three Favourite Foods:

Roast chicken
Soda farls.
Chinese food – and I have a particular liking for Dim Sum.

Three Shows I Watched As A Kid:

Grange Hill
Dangermouse
Moonlighting (even though it was quite ‘racy’ in places).

I'm not tagging anyone but do feel free to do this yourself, by the way.
