1) How old do you wish you were?

I don't want my brain to be any younger but it would be nice if my decrepit body was in the shape it was when I was, say, 18. Ahhhh, an acheless, painless, non-slumped body. Those were the days

Sound asleep in bed. My daughter rang me from Queensland at some ungodly hour in the AM and told me to put on the telly.

3) What do you do when vending machines steal your money?

Do they do that? I'd probably just push the buttons hard lots of times then walk away muttering.

Probably Arabic or Spanish or, maybe, まぶたのアイシャドーもアイラインも、そして多分マスカラもボ

What a silly question! I live in a small country town. Of course I know my neighbours. I know what they ate for bloody breakfast and what they whisper on the marital pillows. We country folk know EVERYTHING about each other (unfortunately).

8) What do you consider a vacation/holiday?

Holidays? Hmmm A holiday can either be a pain in the arse commercially constipated day enforced by the government for obscure reasons or it can be a break from your usual routine. It doesn't have to be away from home, it just has to be a period of otherness.

No

18) Do you trust people easily?

I give them the benefit of the doubt but am often let down.

Big hairy spiders. I'm fine with the little ones, funnel webs, white tips and redbacks don't bother me. But those bloody huntsmen. *shudder* Can we talk about something else?

20) Do you want kids?

Grandkids only from this point. I've done my time.

Do people still do that? Other than my Mum?
