Step 1: Get Drunk

The lovely and talented April tagged me and gave me yet another reason to stop reading y'alls blogs. But I'll answer my 5 and/or add a few, then tag the next lucky losers...

If I could be totally at peace (April)
If I could be on the other side of the world (April)

If I could be on a reality TV show(Dawn)
If I could be a magician(Dawn)
If I could be a rich man
If I could be perfect
If I could be a comedian

If I could be on the other side of the world, I think I'd be pretty happy. It's one of the few places I'm able to put everything else in the world out of my mind and be totally at peace. (Ape- That should count for 2, but I'll play fair.)

If I could be a teacher, I'd teach people how to save and invest money, not to buy stupid, useless stuff they can't afford (like spinning rims on an Accord), and how to get out of debt.

If I could be a music executive, I'd insist that all artists actually be able to play some sort of musical instrument, write their own music, and actually perform live. Lip-synch'ing and dancing to someone else's music aren't enough.

If I could be a policeman, I'd wait by a school zone and write tickets all day long.

If I could be a linguist, I'd be cunning.

I tag Mike (who always assumes I'm talking about someone else), Jethro (who always seems to get left out of the fun everyone else is having), and Esther (who seems to be having trouble finding something to say lately).

You are quite cunning, my dear.

;)

Crikey! I don't even understand this thing. Do I pick questions from the list to answer? Do I add questions? Where does my name go?

Will someone help me put my socks on, please.

Allie - If you can't be original, be funny.

3sth3r - No thanks necessary.

KateyBear - I assume you recognize your influence?

Ogblay - Yes, pick any 5. If you want. Wherever. FYI- You've got your left sock on your right foot.

Bastard. I knew I couldn't fly under the radar long.

It's not fair. No one thinks I get left out because I have a big mouth. But no one has ever tagged me for anything. The only time I've ever been tagged was when I asked someone to do it. It was fucking sad.

 
At 5:31 PM, Blogger Kate the Peon said...

But of course, darling.

Jethro- In case you can't think of anyone to tag when you're done, I've got a suggestion...

Z- Oops

Ktp- I'm hoping you're hungover tomorrow ;)

You can start on your teacher gig by explaining to me how to invest money. I've been saving some (by accident, mostly), and don't have a clue what to do with it.

My plans so far include:

(a) a lovely long European summer holiday
(b) a new computer, maybe

and my retirement plan is to become a parasite on my family. No worries there, but I'll probably be expected to contribute SOMETHING.

But that won't use it all up, and I stopped sending money to NZ because the exchange rate became so awful. So it sits in the bank here getting half a percent interest or something idiotic.

(It's not very much, you understand, but it annoys me so much I keep wanting to spend it. The money in NZ (also not much) gets 6%.)

My problem is, really, that money bores me. Can you make it interesting? If it were interesting I could probably save more, on purpose and not just because I have a ludicrous schedule that doesn't leave me any time to spend anything.

I'm not kidding.

Ape- The problem is that if I became your teacher it would be unethical for us to date. Therefore, I don't see how it's in your best interests. ;)

Theic- And you're already married. What's in it for me? :D
