Wow - that was a lot of work. How long did it take to write all that? Very interesting though.
ReplyDeleteHey that's fab, thanks Saz!
ReplyDelete(You do know there are a few months between August and December though don't you?!)
You make these memes fun by not being too serious and yet there's always that in your face truth to each one. That's what makes it important...I feel I know you ever so much better these days, Saz!
ReplyDeleteSandi
A nice mix of just the sort of silly and prosaic details which are always interesting to this kind of mind!
ReplyDeleteI've just re-viewed Lost in Translation, too.
Good one, Saz. Loved the answer to the smile question - so true.
ReplyDeletethis is a great meme and very interesting to read
ReplyDeleteCan I have a go?
Funny- August is my least favourite month. Too many tourists, too many school kids, worst month for business. Bah Humbug
Thas so weird...Geraud Butler is my side dish as well, but sometimes the main course as well as desert.
ReplyDelete"Hugh Jackman with side portion of Gerard Butler
ReplyDeleteWhat are your pizza toppings of choice?
you think I’ll have room or time?"
Hahahaha! That's the sort of thing I might write, except you can change the name and I don't need a side. ;)
I love Bonne Maman jams too. So much nicer and more fruity. But Lost in Translation? That ranks with Groundhog Day for me, which puts it somewhere near the bottom. Sorry ...
That does too look like a lot of work, made my head spin. Love all those songs...'Hide behind your smile' sounds very familiar.
ReplyDeleteHi just found you over on http://agliooliopeperoncino.blogspot.com/...great list, I have just been to Paris with a friend, we went to a Bloggers Meet up, it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnyone from the South sounds like they are from Eastend, when they travel North, it is amazing, If they were to hear a true Eastender, you most probably would be told you sound quite posh :-)
Please... DO share some of the out-of-context porno text messages!
ReplyDelete;-)
Now I have to dig myself out of this meme. It was so much fun, I jumped into it! Had bread and butter with black currant jam this morning. Oh so good.
ReplyDeleteI love Lost in Translation too!
Think that was one of the best meme's I've seen in a long time - not that I don't enjoy the others, but you know what I mean (just digging the hole here).
ReplyDeleteEva Cassidy, Over the Rainbow makes me cry every time.
Brilliant answers, very witty.

Adore this Meme, Saz - We are so similar in so many ways, as you know... I was just thinking that it's been ages since I've seen a good Meme I wanted to steal, and you have done this so expertly, my dahlink!
ReplyDeleteMay I borrow it for one day??!
Big hugs, love, Fhi xxx
I loved reading these new (to me) facts about you. Thanks for taking the time it must have taken to write them all!
ReplyDeleteGood luck w/that job contract.
I tagged you :)
ReplyDeletehttp://fourpawsandwhiskers.blogspot.com/2009/06/tagged-what-little-things-make-you.html
Very good but what exactly are you on? (I could do with some)
ReplyDeleteLiking the term bullcrapology. Might change my blog name. (Probably already taken.)
ReplyDeleteAlways good to learn more of you, Saz.
