draliman on life

I’ve noticed that recently I’ve posted pretty much just fiction, especially with the Chain Writing Game I’ve started to participate in. Maybe it’s time for something different, I thought, and just as I thought this I noticed that a few of my bloggy friends are doing this “Share Your World” thing, courtesy of Cee’s Photography blog. Thank you Cee!

It’s basically four questions to answer every week, and you can find out more than all you ever wanted to know about me!

I’m a  bit behind. This is already week 2, so I’m going to do weeks 1 and 2 all in one. I know, a tall order. Nevertheless, I shall attempt it! I’ll try to be brief this week as I’m doing two at once. Maybe next time I will add some pictures.

Week 1

What are some of your favourite type of proteins to eat? (meat, eggs, soy, cheese, nuts)
Thank you for giving me some examples of proteins! I’ve heard of them, of course, but I just see “food” generally. This one is easy: cheese. Mmm, cheese.

Are you a morning or night person?
Morning, no question. I get up really early even on weekends (like 5am early). Then after lunch (unless I’m at work) I have a nice nap. There’s nothing quite like a nice nap 🙂 .

What is your preferred hot drink: coffee, tea, water or other?
The only hot drink I drink is coffee. I know caffeine isn’t the best if you take too much and I drink loads of it at work but it’s instant and everybody knows that doesn’t count. Right? At home I have a little one-man cafetiere.

Out of your five senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing) which is your favourite?
This is a tricky one. It’s a toss-up between sight and hearing I think. I think perhaps hearing as I wouldn’t like it if I couldn’t listen to my music. Although without taste I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my cheese, and I do like my cheese. Mmm, cheese.

Week 2

If you had to move to a country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
If I had to move to another country I would choose New Zealand. The scenery looks beautiful and I would like to visit the Hobbits. They seem very friendly on those “Lord of the Rings” documentaries and I’m sure they would welcome me into their burrows with open arms!

Music or silence while working?
I would prefer music, but then it’s harder for people to get my attention and that doesn’t seem right. I could listen with just one earphone in but that annoys me intensely. I listen to music until around 8:15am when other people in my department start to arrive, which gives me time to listen to a whole album of Alisha’s Attic or Florence and the Machine or whoever. I used to fall asleep to music but in 1989 I had a bad ear infection during which I couldn’t even walk in a straight line, and for some reason I never listened to music while going to sleep again!

What is your favourite colour?
Blue. Yes, I know. Boring.

Do you have a bucket list? What are your three items? A bucket list are things you want to do before you die.
I don’t have a bucket list – I don’t want to be lying on my death bed looking at my bucket list with nothing crossed off and getting upset. Especially if one of the entries says “visit Hobbits in New Zealand” and I haven’t done it 😦 .

That’s all for this week (and last week)! Enjoy your day 🙂 .
