When I just can't sleep
I made this bread this afternoon. It's rad.
I should be asleep (you might notice that this has happened before) but I'm not.
So, in my sleepless exhaustion, I've decided to write. I got inspired by this post recently and thought it might be fun to give it a test drive here too.
So here are some random (and possibly incoherent due to the sleep situation) musings about ME.
1. I pee fast. Really fast. I'm in and out in no time. My friends are shocked and YES, I do wash my hands... damn people.
2. I'm reading this right now. And though it's terribly depressing I'm only just halfway through and I hope that it gets... well, maybe not happier but more hopeful... because next I'm reading this and I'm not sure that it's going to be a step up on the 'happy' metre.
3. I eat my food in shifts. Salad first... like an hour before kinda first. French fries before anything else on the plate (they're small and get cold fast, and once they're cold the grease just doesn't taste the same).
4. I hate heels.
5. When I was a kid and doing skating lessons I was terrified (beyond terrified really) of the Zamboni. I would slowly but decidedly skate backwards away from the class and towards to exit before the class was over as soon as the gates opened for the machine to start. Never really have gotten over that.
6. I read my books in the order that I received them. Look, even I think that's weird. There it is though, I feel completely out of sorts if I mix it up. Magazines don't count.
7. I hate it when people post a salad on their blog. I've been holding that one in for a long time and it feels really good to get it off my chest. It doesn't mean that I don't like the blog, I just think that posting a salad is lame.
8. Sometimes when I'm at work and just in my studio doing computer crap I put on music videos on Youtube and turn the volume wayyyyyy up. It feels badass.
9. I do my best not to be perceived as a 'girlie' girl or as a tourist... ever.
10. I run. A lot. To work. It's sweaty but running 8.5 k to work feels badass too. I like that.
11. I prefer beer over wine (red only please) and champagne trumps the lot. Veuve Cliquot - there is no other.
12. I hate talking on the phone and I also think that texting is a pain in the ass but I'll gladly do it if it means I don't have to talk on the phone.
13. I think tattoos are hot but not the stupid-ass butterfly-on-my-shoulder and tiny-flower-over-my-butt things. I like the stuff that clears out your bank account and crawls up your neck and down your arms and looks nasty. That's hot.
14. I probably cuss too much, although I don't do it on my blog because I don't want to come off offending any of my readers (I love all twenty of you that much). Left to my own devices though, it would be bad and my favourite blogs are pretty fresh.
I wasn't going to post all this crap because I really didn't think that anybody would be into reading random crap about me. But now I'm thinking that I should just put it out there. Like some sort of liberation act or something. And yeah, it's kinda my own therapy/I'm-really-a-self-absorbed-ego-maniac thing.
Here's a picture of me that my kid took - after not getting enough sleep... I like it. That doesn't happen often... so I'm sharing.

Love it...we're more alike than I thought!!!
Well, we're sisters. We can't be that far off right???? You thought it was just you who pee'd fast, right?
A few confirmations from BFF:
* She does pee super fast. So fast you think she actually hasn't left yet. Fascinating!
* She is "organised" when she eats, with an obvious plan to eat the individual foods in a certain order. I've been told that she'll get cranky if you try to eat food off her plate, but I haven't witnessed that yet.
* Zamboni? Really? You learn something new every day!
* The orderly book reading sounds boring Wanda! Read whatever you feel like reading, when you feel like reading it! Life is too short!
* I once witnessed you PURCHASE a pair of PURPLE, VELVETY high heels. I have not witnessed you wear them, but they look nice at work underneath your desk.
* Your gorgeous new blue Roots purse is "tres girlie"!!!! But don't worry, nobody will fault you for it!
And one final note, your very girlie girl BFF thanks you for loving her despite her girly pink/frilly/hot roller tendancies!
Thanks for writing the the purple heals are 'under' my desk... p.s. Hot rollers are hot... just sayin'
