2. I'm not very interesting.
3. Brakes screeching.
4. Something inane.
5. *Gulp* I suppose, if I had to, I would give up the interwebs. But yikes, that is a cruel conundrum.
1. mudcake
2. I was very political/extreme left wing at uni. Edited the student rag, went to all the war in Iraq protests and briefly played drums in a band. We did political covers of various popular songs - my brief foray into actually being cool. Dating and eventually marrying a liberal voter is one of the hardest things I've ever done (I am much more moderate in my views now, though!)
3. My phone ringing at 2am in the morning (I always think its a family member in a car accident or taken to hospital or something)
4. " Sophia Russell is debating whether $25/hour is worth it."
5. I'd love to say internet over books, but practically speaking, I'd have to give up books. Too much admin/bill paying/correspondence/organising/booking/research done over Internet!
1. Don't know what a mudcake or lamington is....
2. I can play clarinet and saxaphone, pretty well too.
3. hmmmm....actually can't think of one!!
4. Commented on the relaxing Sunday morning we had...

4." 3 weeks with classic FM. Awesome. mahler's 1st tonight." - that was 2 weeks ago
5. internet
1. Mudcake all the way. Coconut is overrated.
2. I'm left-handed.
3. A bone breaking.
4. T20 Cricket Go Aussies!
5. Internet all the way. It cannot drag me into sleep the way a book does every night.
1. Definitely lamington. I actually don't like mudcake that much.
2. I was born in Johannesburg.
3. The noise my ferret makes when I half step on them.
4. Cost:$40. Amt water gulped: 10ml. Contact lens' lost:1. Feeling satisfaction on completng 2.7km ocean swim fr Malabar 2 Little Bay: Priceless! (Truly)
5. Internet. Not even a question. I can live without the internet, if I have books. Can I live without books, if I had the internet. No way.
1. Mudcake
2. Ummm... I've been asked to speak at a ministry wives conference on Christian blogging.
3. rats running through the roof or across the floor.
4. "woke up to two disasters: A very dead chicken in a pot (it was left cooking (burning) all night), and a very dead desk top computer. Hoping the computer can be resurrected. There is no hope for the chicken. Welcome to Thursday."
5. I'd give up books. But I'd buy myself a nice little ipad and download a whole lot of books to read on that.
1. Mudcake.
2. I am actually very deep.
3. Train wheels screetching.
4. It was ages ago - I don't update my status. It was probably a lame joke about Greek.
5. Books.
1. fresh lamington
2. i took up violin at 36.
3. the slow clunking of a baby rolling down back stairs
4. thinks he can learn a lot from Auskick and not just about AFL
5. definitely the net
1. Lamington, hands down
2. I'm currently working on three new personal website/blogs apart from this one, hopefully to be unveiled soon.
3. Cat's fighting. Also Celine Dion.
4. Not on FB.
5. I'd love to say I'd go without the net for books, but in truth I'd feel pretty stuffed without blogs and google..
1. mudcake - although I'm not actually very fond of either
2. I am obsessed with being able to list my hobbies, ever since I was at a job interview and asked what my hobbies were and sat there thinking 'don't say I like watching videos', but seriously that was the only hobby I could think of!
3. metal scraping noises
4. Ruth has no school for the boys tomorrow...all the options of fun things to do. The kids and I are looking forward to spending a day together. I love my kids, each one such a precious treasure and gift. I am so thankful for each of them.
5.tough one. the internet I'd give for a year, because without books I wouldn't read the Bible.
1. Mudcake, no competition there in my opinion
2. I had bright blonde curls as a child
3. A blood-curdling scream
4. Christine just sold her papasan chair on ebay... i miss it already :( but space issues require the sacrafice.
5. Books, I just don't 'do' books well
I'm late, I know...
1. Mudcake or lamington - both :-)
2. Something interesting we don't know about you - have I mentioned that one of my middle names is after one of my aunts?
3. A sound that chills your blood - ooh, the 2am phone call, the screeching tyres...they're good ones but I'm going with the weird, middle of the night noise outside the bedroom window (that thankfully turns out to be a wandering animal).
4. Your last Facebook update - "enjoyed her half hour chat with Fiona Rumble, another Mackay friend. Shame we didn't have longer."
5. In absolute sworn honesty, if you had to either go without books or the internet for a year, which would you give up? - I'm with Pedro and onlinesoph on this one.
Pedro- Yeah, but whoever reads books online? Just aint the same.
Amy-Yeah the brakes screech.. You always hold yr breath to see if it's followed by a CRASH.
Soph- Great to hear about your fascinatingly militant past!
Beth- Mudcake is like a dense heavy chocolate cake. Lamingtons are an Aussie thing-- sponge cake covered in chocolate and dessicated coconut. Fluffy, yet delightful.
Goldy- You eat algae? Please explain. I'm picturing some strange bottom-feeding aquati animal..
Wendy- thankfully I've never experienced that sound.
Georgina- I'm with you, I reckon mudcake is overrated. Lamingtons are for a more delicate mature pallate. ps- wow, I didn't know you were from S.A..
Simone and Nathan- I'm lumping you both in together as you are my blog yin and yangs. I knew you both would keep the net over books. It's this dedication that makes you good bloggers!
Chris- Yikes to #3 -has that actually happened to you?
Ruth- I have a similar hobby issue. I hate when i get asked, and reply with some dullard thing, and then later remember how interesting I would have seemed had I listed off my numerous great hobbies!
Christine- Wow, I wouldn't have guessed you'd been blonde. I had pretty light hair too. I started dying at an early age.
Laetitia- do you reckon you'd really read a book online? I just cant imagine doing it.
The last two screeches I've heard have resulted in: a giant crash and 2 hours spent comforting a very drunk 16 year old without a licence, and a giant yelp and a nighttime hunt for an injured dog in pjs...
So yeah, cold horror stomach feeling every time now.
The algae thing - more specifically chlorella and spirulina. I'm trying it for my health problems. You can read all about it here - http://www.chlorellafactor.com/
Amy- Yuck, sounds terrible..
goldy- wow, that sounds strange but intriguing. They don't really try to make it look attractive do they- they've put oozy green slime all over the book cover. I hope you find it helpful. Sounds like it could help with some of my stomach issues too..
I regularly read first chapters of Christian fiction via a couple of blogs - it's a good way to see if you want to bother with the whole books, especially as Christian fiction is not easily and readily available at public libraries (unless it's a Dee Hendersen mystery).
I have downloaded several e-books. One was a drab thing that could have done with a Reader's Digest treatment - fortunately it was free and I didn't waste paper printing it or anything.
