The A-Zzzzzz Meme

I thought I'd actually get away with not being tagged for this one- but Ra'anana Ramblings got in there. Here we go- I'm making it small for those of you who can't tolerate this level of narcissism (although why on earth are you reading blogs, then? Eh?)

Accent: Depending upon how tired/riled/inebriated I am, British w/ hint of Midlands. And in Hebrew apparently I “don’t sound American” – praise be!

Booze: Gin has been the reigning poison of the past few years: Vodka remains the Oldest Child.

Chore I Hate: I’m without a doubt the tidiest, most ironed person with the most folded clothes you’ll ever meet.

Dogs/Cats: Actually, Guinea Pigs / Bunnies. And some dogs. And not opposed to cats per se.

Electronics: That mobile device which has been known to ring occasionally.

Favorite Perfume/Cologne: What a ridiculous cop-out for "F"! And who can afford "cologne" on Israeli wages? Humph. I think we'll change it to "Fantasy"- which is to be able to eat chocolate all the time.

Gold/Silver: Pshaw, I have none of either, and no plans to aquire any. Bear that in mind before you come to rob me!

Hometown: We’ll stick with Jerusalem: Far less traumatic to admit to than Britain’s Second City.

Insomnia: is a great Faithless song

Job Title: Not for sale.

Kids: couldn’t eat a whole one.

Living Arrangements: Aaagh I forgot to pay my rent today!

Most Admired Trait: Again. So much they could have done with "M"- what about Motorway of Choice: M62

Number of (Insert arbitrary unit here to avoid any overtly personal revelations when the big bad blogosphere includes your grand/parents) Cellphone Earpieces I have managed to break over the course of the last year: 5


Overnight Hospital Stays: More than I would have liked- and in 3 continents, too! Wonder if that is a record...

Phobia: Heights. Dead Animals (excluding foodstuffs) Not overfond of snakes either, but not yet on the Indiana Jones level.

Quote: No, I'm not a Hallmark person. That's not a quote, that's a proud statement of fact.


Religion: Ultra-Orthodox Chocophile.

Siblings: 1. And that’s plenty!

Time I usually wake up: With the dawn chorus, Ah me. Not connected to what time I usually GET up: Road to hell, etc etc.

Unusual Talent: Lord, how does one answer this without getting into ****CENSORED**** territory? Hmm. Remembering conversations verbatim.

Vegetable I refuse to eat: Peas. Evil, Smelly Aliens from the Planet Pea who have come to take over the world and taunt you from your plate.

Worst Habit: Along with my tidiness, my timekeeping, or lack thereof, is legendary. (Commenters who know me personally, feel free to disagree. Go on. Please.)

X-Rays: Many, many- I come from a very X-Ray-Happy Family.


Yummy Foods I make: Do you know, I can’t remember, I’ve become a bit of a takeout whore of late. Ah yes, antipasti: Apartment-on-fire optional.

Zodiac Sign: Pisces- Shocker. Right, anyone still awake?


And I’ll keep things local and tag
Lapisdreams, and the new gentleman on the scene Dot Co Dot Il and if Beerli wants to take a break from documenting world events, she's welcome to do the same.

    My, your Meticulous MeMe is Methodically MezMerising!!! Magnificent!

    A few questions:
    Chore:- Does that make you an Iron Maiden?
    Dog/cats: Are you reffering to a new mixed breed- half guinea pig and half bunny?
    Hometown:- Is London the first city in Britian?

    Chore I Hate: I’m without a doubt the tidiest, most ironed person with the most folded clothes you’ll ever meet - YEAH RIGHT!

    Dogs/Cats: Actually, Guinea Pigs / Bunnies. And some dogs. And not opposed to cats per se - I think it meant real ones not battery powered, but we'll give you this one!

    Living Arrangements: Aaagh I forgot to pay my rent today!
    - What do you care they are out the country indefinately :)

    Most Admired Trait: Again. So much they could have done with "M"- what about - Your hugs of course!

    Overnight Hospital Stays: More than I would have liked- and in 3 continents, too! Wonder if that is a record... - Me too! SA, Australia and Israel.

    Birmingham is not England's Second City!!!!! It is England's second biggest city. there is a difference. Manchester is England's second city (and capital of the proud soon to be independent nation know as De Norf).

    Bravo on the pea hatred!

    Hey, I read the whole thing and actually thought it was funny!

    Kasamba: Ha ha... And just imagine the market for "Bunnea Pigs"!
    And yes, dear, London is the "First City"- how long have you lived in England?!

    Nush: :-P to all of your fab comments. And a hug.

    Anonymous: You're on the wrong blog, methinks.

    Jack: Dafka my GOOD experiences with Gin began here.

    H: Hail, fellow pea-hater! Re Bham/Mcr- I'm not actually making it up. Anyway, you have a somewhat better football team, so you should all be able to cope without this meaningless title!

    DH: Exactly. G-d bless whoever invented non-iron...

    WBM- Thank you!

    YB- Shut your silly home counties mouth!

    Worst Habit -
    I am a commenter, I know you personally, I feel free to heartily disagree.
    ps - you are late responding to last night's sms.

    Oh, this is embarrassing- have I gone all these days without checking your blog? True, I haven't been making my usual rounds lately, not enough computer time, but this is unforgivable- though I hope you'll forgive me anyway!

    Ya done good, girl, great answers! Though I admit I LOVE peas!!! Mmm!!

    You Brits are just ironing fools, aren't you? You guys iron EVERYTHING! Even sheets, I hear! I'd never make it over there. My favorite method of ironing is putting the damp items in the dryer for a few minutes and then hanging them up and smoothing them out.

    So you're from Birmingham? Isn't that Ozzy Osbourne's hometown?

    Anon- thank you. And you should know!

    RR- I forgive you. Even tho you love peas! And I can't iron for love or money. But yes, most of us are proud of the Ozzy connection. So you know how he sounds when he speaks? I don't sound like that. Unless I'm very drunk/tired... :)

    So take that, Yellow Boy!

    Aaron- welcome. Saw your blog- looks interesting! Good luck.
