It's clearly finals time

[krislaughs]

because I'm posting WAY more than usual.

The Question meme

ignipes asked me five, and if you comment, I will ask another five of you. You know the drill.


1. What's the longest you've ever gone without bathing?

Ohhh. You're out to uncover my dirty little secrets (pun totally intended.) I went for over a week in Ecuador without a bath, or soap, but I did rinse off myself and my clothing in the rain as well as various rivers and streams (thank god I hadn't yet taken parasitology.)

2. Favorite part about being a vet-to-be?

No one thinks I'm crazy for scheduling my life around my pets. Actually, I'm pretty psyched that after all this work, people will call me 'doctor.'

3. What the heck is it about Irish accents?

Um... honestly? Don't laugh. It's the way they say 'fuck.' I kid you not. Though I'm not generally a fan of excessive swearing, I can't get enough of the raunchy-mouthed Irishmen.

4. What's your favorite way to spend a warm, lazy, summer afternoon when you have no place special to be and no responsibilities hanging over you?

Riding, bathing, and grazing my horse while he dries. Oh wait. I don't have a horse. Very well...

Bringing a book out onto a patch of grass (park, field, or lawn depending on where in the world I am) and falling asleep on it. This is only improved upon when there is a hammock strung between two trees in the sun. Follow the nap with a long walk or jog as the evening cools down, and a bowl of ice cream when I get back home.

5. What's it all about, anyway?

It's all about the penguins.

Awesome! I'm about 15 minutes from Coogee, and I have friends who've recently bought a lovely old place there, which they're about to start doing up. Did you ever do the Coogee to Bondi sea path walk? It's one of my favourites, although I usually start out at Bronte 'cause that's closer to me.

OHHH. LOVE the walk. I used to jog the other direction: Coogee to Maroubra nearly every morning.







This is the place we stayed at:


Dude. I'm getting so nostalgic, now. :)

Ooh, this feels very Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, because I know that house! The friends that have just purchased in Coogee just to live just off Carrington Road and I'm sure I've driven past that place a half dozen times or so!

I love Maroubra Beach - it's definitely my favourite in Sydney for body surfing; there's always a good surf there, although when I was there this past summer, there were one or two shark alarm warnings, which hasn't happened to me at the beach since I was a kid.

Oh, yay! It's so lovely to know that someone on the other side of the world known--and appreciates--my little corner of it! ♥

Ohhh. Shark warnings...

Oh, yay! It's so lovely to know that someone on the other side of the world known--and appreciates--my little corner of it!

Of course. What's there not to love?

Actually, it's been pretty amazing the people I've met through these fandoms... like ignipes and I had been beta reading each other's stories for a few months, when we made some similar references, and discovered that we not only shared an alma mater, but we *knew* each other peripherally while at school. Another girl just graduated from the program I'm in now.

It's really a very small, big old world.

PS. If you see the white kitty on the Corner of Coogee and Carrington, give him a pat for me. :)
