There was a cat that really was gone

[susie_flo]

It has been a weird day today. Not exactly bursting with good news, yet I feel placid and content.  How about that.

Rosamicula posted a meme that I liked today - see here:  http://rosamicula.livejournal.com/346038.html
I am new to memes, but I think the idea is to do one back, so here is mine...

 

Ten things you wish you could say to ten different people right now.

1. I'm proud of you
2. I'll get over it, but you'd better have picked someone good
3. You're my cute little baby bunny fluffbag and you're gonna get a big kiss whether you like it or not
4. I believe that things will turn out well for you
5. I appreciate you lots, even if my stiff upper lip won't let me show it
6. Your lack of self awareness verges on delusional
7. Your sense of humour brightens up my day
8. You could be a lot happier if you cared less what people think
9. I could never thank you enough for introducing me to the love of books
10. You're the love of my life (as if you didn't already know)

Nine things about myself:

1. I really, really hate having to fill in this bit...
2. I would rather seek all manner of distractions than face this sort of dreaded navel-gazing
3. OK here goes...  (nice cheat)
4. Today I got rejected but I'm feeling (uncharacteristically) fine about it
5. I imagine it would be nice to be a tall redhead
6. I often suspect that I like other people more than they like me
7. I think about death a lot (and no, I'm not a goth)
8. Sometimes I fear that I am destined to be an 'also ran', but am not motivated enough to become truly exceptional at anything
9. I am grateful for my natural propensity towards happiness.  I think it is probably just down to fortuitous brain chemicals... and for that there is no substitute

Eight ways to win my heart:

1. Feed me nice food
2. Be funny
3. Be clever
4. Be honest, constant and reliable
5. Be endearingly shy and modest
6. Wear a soviet greatcoat (ooh, and a fur hat)
7. Love animals
8. Love me above all others

Seven things that cross my mind a lot

1. What would I do if a terminator was after me? (Try and confuse it, maybe...?)
2. What do animals think about? 
3. We're all going to die
4. What is the killer idea that will make me a quick million?
5. How can I use my powers for good?
6. I wish I was French
7. Why don't they make more films in 3D?

Six things I do before I fall asleep

1. Turn myself into Velma (slap off, glasses on)
2. Get into lovely, soft jim-jams
3. Drink enough wine to induce fuzzy sleep-head
4. Doze on the sofa while pinned down by hot-laptop-and-sleeping-cat-combo
5. Read for few mins (or attempt cryptic crossword while words swim on the page)
6. Either (ahem) or put pillow over head to block out background noise

Five people who mean a lot to me

1. My lover boy
2. My elderly fluffbag (she counts as a person)
3. My siblings
4. My few closest fiends (am really not a social butterfly... and no it's not a typo)
5. Uncle Amazon and Auntie Ebay (they send me lots of nice things in the post)

Four things I'm wearing right now:

1. Herba Fresca by Guerlain
2. Black, lace-up ankle boots (yummy)
3. a cashmere beret (see, I meant it about the French thing)
4. a somewhat strict bra

Three songs that I listen to often (currently):
 

1. A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall by Roxy Music (usually while singing loudly in my kitchen)
2. Arm in Arm (glam-rock-techno-tastic version by Shy Child)
3. Every Day is Like Sunday (how I dearly wish I was not here)

Two things I want to do before I die:

1. Visit the polar bears
2. Find some evidence of hope for makind

One confession:

1. I like Boney M  (I realise that one's not very surprising)

I don't believe this list. There isn't a single mention of glitter in it anywhere!

(Have just purchased a pair of very girly black ankle boots for work which lace up with ribbon ;-)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Heh, you're right. I guess I am less glittery than I used to be, how sad.
The boots sound delicious! I might copy you and put ribbon in mine...

[kissmeforlonger.livejournal.com]

They're these ones but in black. Very dainty!

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

They're foxy! Now I'm thinking grosgrain or organza ribbon might be the way to go, just to be a big copycat. Ooh, maybe even red ribbon.... (yippee for customising things.)
