Subject: A meme nicked from Gabs...

1. make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up

A painting of Venice, Richard's iPod, a travel Scrabble game, my front door, a plane flying overhead (through the window, obviously!)

2. how do you style your hair?

I don't! It's very short right now, but when it's longer, I sort of smoosh it over to one side.

3. what are you wearing now?

Blue and grey striped hoodie, dark blue shorts, pair of Skechers.

4. what's your occupation?

My title is Community Editor.

5. what are you wishing for right now?

Inspiration for something to do! Too tired for bed, too lazy to play any games, not in the mood for music and I've scoured all my usual websites...

6. what is one word you would use to describe yourself?

Laidback.

7. what's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?

I've been loving Dollhouse, and Lost as ever, and I've been playing an awful lot of Fallout 3 today.

8. what was the last thing you ate today?

Some Maltesers. And earlier I had myself a bit of an Indian feast. Chicken bhuna, onion bhaji, naan, poppadom and samosa. Mmm.

9. what was the last text message you received?

I barely ever use my mobile these days, so I have absolutely no idea.

10. what websites do you always visit when you go online?

Facebook, Twitter, Dlisted, the boards, AICN, a few blogs, Speak Your Brains, and my work websites.

11. what was the last thing you bought?

Wine, cigarettes, lottery ticket and the aforementioned Maltesers.

12. what are you listening to right now?

I've got the TV on, which is playing a Mastercard advert. Exciting.

13. what do you think about before you go to bed at night?

A mix of things. Jobs I have to do at work the following day, whatever film or TV show I've been watching that evening, or just fantasising about winning a disgusting amount of money in the lottery. :-)

14. what was the last cd you bought?

Richard is the music buyer in our house. Think his last CD was the new Metric album, although I'm sure he'll correct me!

15. what is your favorite weather, and why?

I love stormy weather, since I grew up in one of the wettest parts of the UK. I also like warm summer days with a light breeze, so it doesn't get too stifling.

16. if you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?

I reckon the guitar, or maybe the violin.

17. how are you?

Not bad. Little bit bored. Considering another glass of wine.

18. what's something you'd like to say to someone right now?

I'd probably have a rant at the CEO of my company for failing to pay us on time for the 5th month in a row. The perils of working for a start-up who rely on outside funding, I suppose!

19. what's one of your favorite movies?

ONE of my favourite movies is Happy-Go-Lucky.

12. what are you listening to right now?

I'm not listening to anything right now, but just before I came here I was listening to This American Life by podcast. If you've never heard this amazing American NPR show you're really missing out. Poignant, funny, moving, clever, touching, bizarre. Each week there is a theme, and then it is three or four stories (reportage, biography, fiction) on that theme.

I've no idea. Probably I just reflect on the day's events.

I wouldn't swap the instrument I can actually play -- drum kit. I haven't played for a long time, but in my late teens and early twenties I was semi-pro, playing mostly jazz, but also played in quite a few bands. I studied seriously -- had lessons at Guildhall (famous music college).
