100 things part 4. 61-80

61. I have a soundtrack. There's always something playing in my head. It's very companiable.

62. I go through cd fads. I'll only play one cd for weeks on end and then I drop it and replace it with another which I play endlessly. I have some old reliables too.

63. I have a shelf full of books of poetry. I also collect books by Francesca Lia Block and fantasy novels about strong women.

64. I love to order things by mail or internet, but I always worry that it will somehow get lost or stolen. Consequentially I am overjoyed when I recieve what I ordered. It's a vicious circle.

65. When I was a kid we had a casio electric keyboard. I made up wild symphonies on it about a girl and a horse, possible called wildfire. I've never been that into horses except in casio compositions :)

66. Websites I check everyday: my email, neopets, stonesoup.

67. Growing up in Wellington has made me paranoid of earthquakes. Whereever I am, I think "what would happen in an Earthquake?" This would fall down, I'd have to get under the desk, away from the window...because of this I am uncomfortable underground or in the Mt Vic Bus tunnel.

68. I used to work with the guy who played the Ring Wraith that stabs Frodo on Wethertop. He is nearly 7 feet tall.

69. I can recognise at least 4 people I know, either friends or friends of friends in the first two LOTR movies. Another of my friends is going to be in the third.

70. I do this thing where I worry that it will be the last time I ever see someone when we say goodbye. I worry about this most with Lee because I worry about him. So whenever we part I make sure to say I love you and other nice things so that if something happens at least I'll never go "But the last thing I said to him was 'get more toilet paper' and worry that he didn't know how much I cared.
I'm less over the top about it with my friends.

71. Giffy has been my best friend since fourth form at Welly Girls. We met in Graphics class, where we made a robot arm together with M. M and I built the robot arm out of lego and Giffy programmed it on an ancient computer.

72. My favourite fruits are raspberries, rockmelon and a really good ripe pear.

73. I really like seafood, but I can't eat white bait anymore because it looks at me. I won't eat tentacles either. They're oogie.

74. If I don't get enough sleep my knees ache.

75. If I don't eat enough I get lightheaded. Sometimes if I only have carbs for lunch, I get lightheaded.

76. I like Dr Phil. I am so pleased that he isn't a quack and is in fact reasonable. What he teaches is common sense, and I'm glad so many people listen to him.

77. at the end of sixth form I did a TV drama type course and part of it was we had to sit in front of the camera and say what we liked and didn't like about our bodies. Me and one other girl out of the 20 there actually liked our bodies. The only thing I wanted to change was my height (taller please!) and maybe cut my hair.

78. I can recite The Princess Bride and a lot of disney movies.

79. When I was little Dad read The Hobbit to me and Gollum was my favourite character. The copy was had was full of pictires from the cartoon and Gollum looked like this sad frog guy. I used to go around saying "what has it got in it's pocketses?"

80. I hate rubberneckers, so I get the passengers to do it for me while I drive past at a regular speed. Then they report back.
