Righto so I got tagged for this meme (goodness it’s been a while) to tell 6 things of your life which look like manias or tics, and then pass it to 6 other persons.

So I’ll cheat and take the hint and say that number one would be my amusement of all things poo.  I’ll blame my mother who is a raving Winnie the Poo (not the Disney bastardisation) fan.

Number two would probably have to be my obsession with all things cross stitch.  I even like getting angry at cross stitch if there’s such a thing.  I actually visit mainstream cross stitch websites just to get irate at how ugly most of it is.  It helps with my design process I think.

Number three would be my intollerance for people who blatantly fuck the planet up..  I call it eco-rage.  Kinda like road rage, in fact it often happens when I’m travelling and I see a Hummer and have to wind down the window and yell ‘planet fucker!’ at them.  Lord knows where I get it from.  I also like to tell people off when they litter.  Especially young boys.  I’m like ‘what you expect my kids to pick that up for you?’ grrr

(oh no three to go)

Number four: I like to use brackets a lot. I think it comes from my love of Shakespeare and the fondness I have for asides.  Brackets are my own asides.  Or it could be my bad writing technique, who knows.

Number five: I am an atrocious procrastinator.  This website is a classic example.  Just about every post I’ve ever made has been in lieu of me doing something else important.  Like right now, I’m supposed to be preparing a radio show, so I’m editing pictures, playing scrabble and blogging instead.

Number six: (shit, shit, writers block) ok I’d probably say that I’m really bossy.  I try and get all anarchist on it and curb my bossiness and frame it in an empowering way.  But normally when I see someone doing something and I know there’s a better way of doing it, I tend to say so.  It gets me in trouble a bit.  I’m working on it all the time I promise.  I think though that’s where this website came from.  I decided there needed to be heaps more radical cross stitch in the world so I’ll keep drumming it into your heads until you all start doing it.  OK?  (you better or I’ll poke you with my needle).

ok someone else’s turn, I tag: Cross Stitch Ninja – even though it’s still the same website I know we all want to know more about the person behind the mask.  And Hammy.  And Xavier aka Harry aka Hugh.  And Julie.  And Torrance.  And last but not least Rosa.

Tag youse are it.
