D'oh, ray, meme

Because I got tagged by Knatolee...

What was I doing 10 years ago?

I was stuck in a job I didn't like, thinking about getting more education to improve my odds of finding something I would much prefer and that would be better suited to my abilities. My how times have changed.

Five snacks I enjoy:

(1) Chudleigh’s Apple Blossoms
(2) Applebee’s Onion Peels (with the old horseradish dipping sauce)
(3) Hostess Hickory Sticks
(4) Butter Tarts
(5) Nobody’s looking, right? Poutine. Not that any of the above are any better.


Five Things on My To-Do list today:

(1) All alone beweep my outcast state
(2) Trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
(3) Curse my fate
(4) Think on thee
(5) Scorn to change my state with kings


Five Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

(1) Travel. I would like to get to Australia and New Zealand. And continental Europe. And much of Canada and the States. After that, since I would have so much money, the rest of the world. I’ve heard good things about Sri Lanka…
(2) Try to find an investment broker who isn’t too interested in absconding with ill-gotten gains.
(3) I would probably move. I like my place, but I could do better, if money were no object. Although I would likely stay in the city.
(4) See a few more plays than I normally do.
(5) First thing on the list, really. But it’s too personal, so I’m not going to tell you. But I do know what it is.

Five jobs I have had:

(1) Sitter on babies
(2) Chemistry laboratory assistant
(3) Waiter / Bartender
(4) Banquet manager
(5) Computer consultant

Five of my bad habits:

(1) I take every fun meme I see
(2) I’m probably far to paranoid and guarded for my own good
(3) Complacency
(4) I can be side-tracked into bad prioritizing, if it means that I’ll have more fun
(5) Excluding my relatives from my life


Five places I have lived:

(1) The Borough of North York
(2) The City of North York
(3) The City of Metropolitan Toronto
(4) The City of Toronto
(5) Wasaga Beach


Five people I would like to get to know better (yes, this means you are tagged!):

(1) I don’t tag people. If you want to fill out this questionnaire, tag yourself.

Five Random Things:

(1) Yesterday morning, a couple on their way to the hospital to deliver their fifth child into the world had to stop on the side of the highway because the baby wouldn’t wait. I didn’t notice until the ambulance arrived. Did I mention that this occurred right under my window?
(2) A little more than a month ago I watched flames envelop a house a few blocks from me, not realizing at the time that I was witnessing the covering up of a double-murder and suicide.
(3) When Heinz chose “57 varieties” as its slogan, it already had more than 60.
(4) The international telephone dialing code for Antarctica is ‘672’.
(5) George W. Bush is the first U.S. president to declare himself exempt from over 750 U.S. laws, sidestepping most of the Bill of Rights including the constitutional requirement that the president follow all laws. Yes, they mentioned it specifically to suppress tyranny. (I guess some of these aren’t truly random.)
