100 things, part 3. 41-60

41. I do storytime at Cummings Park Library on Tuesday mornings, observers welcome.

42. I have only been out of New Zealand once, to Melbourne.

43. I am a little superstitious, but not much. I'll walk under a ladder, it doesn't bother me. People all have differing opinions why you shouldn't anyway. Obviously I'm not going to walk under a rickety ladder with pots of paint stacked precariously on top, but if it's a mystical 'breaking the sacred triangle' issue I don't care.

44. I believe in ghosts, I've never seen one, but I think I've come close twice. I've heard lots of spooky stories from people I believe.

45. I don't like organised religion. I think the closest I'd ever get to being religious is Hollywood-style Wicca like Willow and Tara do.

46. I have encouraged no less than three people to watch Buffy. They have each become addicted.

47. I watch anime, I like girly anime such as "Cardcaptor Sakura" and "Angelic Layer" and more mainstream stuff like "Cowboy Bebop". I don't like "Dragon Ball Z" or mecha-based shows.

48. I only swear in my head, except for when I'm driving and someone is driving dangerously, or hasn't looked...then it's open season.

49. I don't get headaches, unless I'm sick or I am exhausted. Whenever a stress hedache threatens, I breathe deeply until it goes away. I taught myself that trick as a teenager.

50. Pants with pockets are good. The more the better.

51. I buy a lot of toys. When My Little Ponies were re-released I bought one called "Sweetberry". I have a new Care Bear too.

52. In Napier my favourite thing is the National Aquarium. I bought a fluffy soft toy sting ray there, his name is Scat. (Short for Skate Hat).

53. When I turned 2 my brother gave me a pink dog toy which I called Punsy. I've never managed a better toy name.

54. I am scared of clowns. I am getting better now, but as a child I'd scream and cry if one came near me. Santa too, and people dressed as animals. I think I nearly died when Wally Weta came near me one christmas parade.

55. Can't stand wetas, stick insects or spiders bigger than a 20c piece. I'm Ok with rodents though.

56. For two years I carried a "little book to keep things in" which I wrote quotes and thoughts and cartoons in. Then at Varsity I just stopped needing to do it. I've lately started another one.

57. I hate doing the dishes but I don't mind vacuuming or cleaning the bathroom.

58. Laundry is good to do frequently but there are too many steps. I miss having a washing line. Damn apartments!

59. I am allergic to some cats. It gives me hayfever. Living also gives me hayfever. I suspect it's actually an allergy to dust.

60. I should do more excercise.
