1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?
Orange juice/ V8 juice

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?
Coke, sadly

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?
8 glasses a day is a myth! there was never any scientific basis for that. PFFT get with the times friday five people
However, I probably dont drink as much water as I should.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)
I dont really have a clear favourite, so lets say Zombie

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?
NOPE, I just dont like it, though I do quite like the smell. I stick to tea and my some of my favourite blends are Russian Caravan, Irish Breakfast, Blackcurrent Black Leaf, and Love Potion from Queenie's Tea House.

1) what is one thing about you that you hate?
Where to begin...Lets say, my complete lack of self discipline

2) what is one thing about you that you love?
My sense of empathy

3) if you had to change one thing about you what would it be and why?
Physically? the standard girl response, my weight. If we are talking a more general sense then that lack of discipline thing because then all the other smaller things I dislike about myself could be changed or improved upon at least.

4) what is one word that you would use to define yourself?
Open

5) imagine what you would look like in a perfect world...what do you look like?
I'd look the same
and in a perfect world there wouldn't be anything wrong with that.

1 Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?
- I think it started at $1 a week

2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
- I started helping the neighbours at their market stall. I was about 12 and would have to get up at 4:30 in the morning to help pack to van and then go set up the stall. Then I would be their little helper for the day. I loved it.

3. Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
- It's not so much that I am good at spending, its more that Im just bad at saving.

4. Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
- Im more likely to borrow since Im always broke because of that spending thing. At the same time Im always broke because I also buy things for other people and give them money all the time too.

5. What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
- A car!

I've only just discovered that the Friday Five exists once again. So I'm hopping back on that bandwagon with full force. Of course the problem with it is that friday is always almost over in Australia before they publish it but OH WELLS. So without further ado:

The Friday Five

1. if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?

- Fencing. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun and I'd have the added bonus of sword skills. Theres a lot of prima donnas in that sport I'd love to be involved. However I dont currently have any skills in that area. If they made photoshopping an Olympic event I'd be in like Flynn.


2. what is the one song you always sing along to?

- I sing along to pretty much any song., especially if I'm driving. Its reached the point that I cant concentrate as well if I dont have something to sing along to.


3. do you wear a seatbelt in the car?

- Yes, its against the law not to here in Australia. You aren't ready to go until your strapped in, driving without it just feels ridiculous.


4. car, suv or truck and why?

- Car, I don't trust myself to drive a manual anymore its just been too long. I'd prefer a truck or SUV but they use too much petrol and I don't go camping or exploring enough to justify it anyway.


5. are you a good/bad driver? explain

- About average. Im not the best, I've had an accident and caused some major damage when the brakes failed on a steep hill. I've gotten a speeding ticket and I have a tendency to run the amber lights. But I'm careful about signaling, leaving enough space between cars, changing my driving style in wet weather, and checking my blind spot.
