Tagged. Again.

I think it's a priviledge to be tagged, so thanks Bindi but I honestly have no idea what else I can tell you about myself. I tried to give you 100 facts about myself and got stuck at 35. I have every intention of finishing the 100 sometime in the next 10 years but when I can't be sure.
Anyway here's the deal: I tell you some random facts so long as they can eventually count towards my 100.
  • Two separate workplaces independently nicknamed me Olive Oil (you know, Popeye's girl) so I must bear some resemblance
  • I hand raised a couple of budgies when I was a teenager
  • I don't have a favourite colour but I sure wear a lot of plum/purple/pink/blue
  • I learned piano for a while (no, I don't play)
  • In 36 years I have lived in three houses in two suburbs

Well, that's me done.

Enjoy your day,

love,

Olive

Utopian Update

Well, you can see why my school reports always said "kylie is easily distracted", "kylie could excel if she applied herself". What was I thinking, showing you that pic? (yesterdays post, below)I have much better ones :)

I thought I'd update on a coupla things.
  • I have cooked vegetarian at least three times since I said I would do it once a week.
  • Bought chocolate yesterday and didn't even think about whether it might be fair trade. Ah well, on the positive side it's the first time I've bought the stuff this year so at least I'm not contributing to "the baddies" too often.
  • Haven't bought any coffee yet, so no room to succeed or fail there.

I haven't stopped noticing interesting user names etc.

  • resonator
  • snickers
  • the sartorialist
  • church lady

There were more but do you think I wrote them down? Interestingly I was reading a food blog where all of the names of people commenting appeared to be their real names. Looks like foodies have no secrets, or are unimaginative or something.

Anything else I should tell you?

Can't think of anything.

See ya :)

Here's the next lot......

Well, you guys have given me a few names to add to the list and here they are:

(of course you could read them on the comments page but they look prettier on the purple background )
  • bindhiya
  • wheeliebin
  • bugman
  • elasticwaistbandlady
  • diesel
  • mattress police
  • muser
  • daughter of the king
  • all pink girl
  • frosty

That takes the total so far to 20.

I also like the names people use to protect their families:

  • LTLP (long term life partner)
  • the twat
  • batboy (that's not an online identity....a favourite newspaper columnist uses it)
  • and "ruff red" ( that' s from a magazine column)

Top 100 Internet Aliases

I'm endlessly fascinated by the names people choose for usernames, blognames, whatever.
There's an ad for yahoo that says "Captain Spankey was hindering my job hunting." I could go to town on that one....I mean Captain Spankey ? You might as well call yourself big-bazungas or born-again-virgin or dominatrix (wish I'd thought of that earlier)
I thought that I'd tell you some of my faves and you could send some of yours and maybe we could get the top 100 internet aliases.

For usernames I like these (and they're all real )
  • lustpuppet
  • shutterspy
  • elusive
  • eclectic
  • csi seattle
  • 54bomber
For blogs I like
  • snippets of life
  • cheaper than therapy
  • musings from the back porch
  • my boyfriend is a twat
C'mon....your turn
This is dominatrix signing out !
