An Award, a Meme and a Prize

Firstly, lovely Emma from Indian Earth has bestowed upon me the "Brillante Weblog Premio" award - thanks Emma! I know I'm not usually talking to myself here, but it always give me a thrill when I get feedback from readers who are actually taking in what I'm saying and potentially using it as motivation in their own lives :-)


Secondly, Going (a little bit) Feral, has tagged me for the 6 Random Things Meme. I've done this Meme before (actually, the first two times it was seven and now it's six - it's shrinking!), but hey, I like GF so I'll do it again ;-)

6 More Random Things About Me:

1. I am a rabid book-lover and have never, ever marked a page in a book by turning down the top corner. Sacrilege!

2. I hate white bread with a passion. Might as well eat a slice of foam because the taste and texture is about the same.

3. I have watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog mini-movie so many times I now know the words almost by heart.

4. I only wear make up to weddings, and only then, under duress. It makes me feel like I'm suffocating, and every brand of hypo-allergenic mascara I have ever tried makes my eyes water.

5. I started my undergraduate university degree wanting to be a forensic scientist, but ended up in environmental studies. (I might point out that this was a dozen years or more before CSI and it's umpteen variations were on TV).

6. I knew the arrival date, length of labour, gender and birth weight of my first born child five months before she was born, because I had a dream about it. In fact, I handed in my post-graduate thesis on her due date because I knew she wouldn't arrive until 7 days later ;-)

OK, thirdly, I was the extremely lucky winner of Tracy's DVD giveaway (An Inconvenient Truth), which arrived in the mail yesterday. Yay! I have big plans for this movie, thanks Tracy!
