Facebook meme: 25 things

Ok, so I feel popular now because I’ve been tagged to do this “25 things” meme on Facebook a few times. I tried writing it the other day but got stuck at like Number 11, but I’ll try again.

1. I am obsessed with blogging. For my readers, this meme is also being posted to Facebook. For my Facebook friends, this is being posted to my blog. Facebook does this cool thing where it automatically posts my blog posts as notes.

2. I feel special when people comment *hint hint*

3. I’m a sappy person. And can be really cheesy sometimes. I’ve begun to not care what people think about this.

4. I’m an insanely political person. Politics weighs on my mind every second of the day. I think I’d die if I wasn’t involved in politics and protests.

5. Related to number 4, I despise the super rich. They have too much fucking money. It makes me sick. I dream of doing horrible things to CEOs. If you’re a CEO or plan to be one, unfriend me now.

6. A photo of Rupert Murdoch has a plastic pirate sword shoved through it in a vase in my lounge room. It looks much better than flowers.

7. Also related to number 4, I hate racists. I have been known to tell off people who say racist things in public. As in, “Shut your fucking racist mouth.” It also surprises me that I say it, doubly surprises me that they do actually shut up. One day I’m sure I’ll pay for it, though.

8. I write a lot. It’s usually stuff related to the last two points, or war and anything else fucked up about this society. I have a few unfinished novels, some completed short stories and I’m always working on something new. If I like you, I’ll show you my stuff.

9. I don’t read as much as I’d like. I have a heap of books I’ve started, but not finished. I always start new ones because my mood changes all the time.

10. I drink lots of energy drinks. I have at least one every morning at the start of work. Otherwise I’d pass out on my keyboard.

11. I’m a bisexual. Everyone assumes I’m straight but I’m quite happy with my queerness. I like to fuck with my gender stereotype, am not a very masculine person and like eyeliner.

12. When I was a kid, I wanted to be fat. Or at least put on some weight. I’ve always been really thin. Even though I eat a lot. The fattest I’ve been was as a baby.

13. I like living in Melbourne and think the city is generally better than Sydney. Though I miss my friends in Sydney and kind of wish I had more friends in Melbourne.

14. I don’t like my job. I don’t like the concept of jobs in general. Though I love being paid. I don’t think the key to happiness is career fulfilment or anything related to being exploited. I would never change my life for a job.

15. I have no interest in getting married! I could be with someone forever and never want to marry them. I think getting married would ruin it.

16. I want to have kids. And it took me a while to admit it because I was embarrassed about it. Not sure why.

17. I dream of being a glam rock star. I can’t play an instrument or sing, but damn it, I’m a great poser and would look awesome in tight jeans and boots.

18. I’d like to do more photography. I don’t know if I’m any good, but it’s fun. And I like to have a record of things like parties and protests.

19. The country I most want to go to is Turkey. It’s a cool cultural mix between the Middle East and Europe. A few friends have been and say they love it. I love this Turkish writer at the moment, Orhan Pamuk and all of his romantic accounts of Istanbul make me want to go more.

20. We have air conditioning at our house, which we love, especially coz of the heatwaves lately. Except there is now a blackout and the house is heating up like an oven. This also means this note won’t be posted until it bloody comes back on.

21. I was shocked by the cold when I moved to Melbourne, as if I’d been exiled to Antarctica. I thought at least the summers wouldn’t be as bad. Last week and today I’ve been proven wrong.

22. I collect all of my train tickets, and Metcards and have a massive pile. I secretly dream of throwing them in the Prime Minister’s face and screaming, “I want my money back!”

23. I have no ability to save money or reduce spending. I blame this on work and how much is sucks. Buying CDs and books makes me feel slightly better, but not as much as overthrowing capitalism would.

24. I once ate KFC for lunch every work day for two months straight. I now eat it very rarely and always feel gross afterwards.

25. As you might’ve noticed, I can ramble when writing. I wish I could do this when speaking (especially in political meetings), where I tend to not go in enough detail.

I’m not tagging anyone but please feel free to do it (everyone else bloody has). It’s actually fun.
