On day two, this is what happens...

Continuing with the second day... Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now. Day Two: Nine things about yourself. Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart. Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot. Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done. Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever) Day Seven: Four turn-offs. Day Eight: Three turn-ons. Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why. Day Ten: One confession. 1. Once I went to the shop at 8pm on a rainy night just because I wanted a full English breakfast right at that moment. I didn't find all the proper ingredients (a tiny K-market can only have so much) but it was enough to soothe the craving. 2. I have managed to turn useful procrastination into an art. Often due to the fact that multiple things need to be done at once but the most important (or the one with the closest deadline) isn't the most interesting. 3. I love the fake strawberry taste of all those energy drinks. Strange but true. 4. I have almost no reaction to common stimulants. I can drink tons and tons of coffee and still fall asleep half an hour later. Basically I need my sleep, to the point where I've never been able to pull an all-nighter. 5. I hate paying with cash, it's just too bothersome and I can't really keep track of what I spend that way. Plus then my wallet is full of coins. 6. I am relatively low maintenance and can very well survive a long trip with just a toothbrush, contact lenses and deodorant. I don't really get people who spend two hours on hair and make-up before leaving the house. 7. When I was younger I really wanted to get a tattoo or two but these days I'm quite glad that I never got around to getting one. I'm not really one for very permanent things. 8. I am quite grateful for the fact that I was surrounded by homecooked meals as a child and I got to witness a lot of cooking going on. It really makes me sad when people claim that they don't know how to cook or that they don't have time to cook or that they prefer eating out all the time. Or when families do not try to eat at least one meal a day together, especially when there are young children around. 9. As a child at first I wanted to become either a lawyer or a doctor. Then I decided that I wanted to become a coroner because then I couldn't hurt people (my reasoning was that doctors often make mistakes but coroners work with peeps who are already dead). That was well before all those CSI and other telly shows made the job into something glamorous. And now for some last photos from the Diana Mini roll. This one was a Fuji200 if I remember correctly.

I also grew up with home cooked food and I still view that as normal. My mother once informed me that her co-workers who are my age view cooking as something you do on special holidays. The rest of the time they just buy salads and cooked things from the store. That's seems beyond strange to me. Sure, on holidays you cook something grand, but whipping together a meal does not need to take hours. It boggles my mind that people think it does.

How silly is that? It takes minutes to cook something... do people really think they save time by buying pre-made things? I don't know, if I bought pre-made things I'd have to go to the shop almost every two days and that would take up even more of my time!

I know! And mostly store-bought food doesn't taste that great. I hate the salads that are sold in stores. They just taste... off somehow. Not as in gone bad, but as in never have been good. If that makes sense.

Plus, of course cooking takes more time if you haven't done it in a year. You just have to get used to chopping things faster - something that comes with practice (I still suck at that). But seriously. Cooking is not that hard! It doesn't take more time than shopping, as you rightly say! The people my mum was talking about go to the store EVERY DAY to buy food for the evening. Bah, I say, bah!

I just went to the Diana World Tour exhibition. They had a wall of old cameras, some photos, and cameras made over by artists. One had a knitted case and bunny ears!

Oh! I think mine would totally love a little knitted case! With tons of fluffy yarn( (bought some too the other day too)!

Bah. I should go over to Australia just to visit the expo, I keep on missing it wherever it goes.
