It has been a long time since I experienced boredom. I typically have so much on the go that I long for the experience of boredom. Believe it or not, I am bored today. Most of my friends are out of town. I have no plans for the weekend, no TV shows to watch, no thesis work to do at the moment and a week of holidays ahead of me. It is a strange, almost foreign feeling.
It is so bizarre enjoying my morning oats and tea without any concept of what I will do for the rest of the day.
Luckily my friend Jessica at DairyFreeBetty tagged me to participate in a meme called 11 Things. There were rules that went with it, but I have never been one for rules, so I will just answer the 11 questions she asked.
1) Why did you start blogging?
I needed a hobby, and it seemed like the logical choice. I had been reading food blogs for a while and thought starting my own would give me a project aside from my schooling which seemed at the time to be consuming my life.
2) What is one food you could never live without?
Pasta.
3) What's your biggest fear?
Mediocrity. And spiders.
4) What are three things that are always in your purse?
Wallet, keys, pens.
5) What is your favourite flower?
Lilac.
6) What is your favourite ethnic food?
Kimchi.
7) Who are three bloggers you would love to meet in person?
I have a loooong list, but 3 off the top of my head: Jessica, Diana and Ameena
8) What is something we would never know about you?
I have a love for world maps and globes. I am obsessed. I want an entire wall in my house to be a world map ... but a classy looking one, not like wallpaper.
9) If you could spend one month anywhere, where would it be?
New York. I am a New Yorker at heart.
10) If you could name a nail polish colour, what colour would it be and what would you name it?
Apricot colour. I would name it precocious.
11) What is a favourite recipe you have found one someone else's blog?
This.
I now have 11 questions that I would like my readers to answer:
(This isn't what the rules told me to do, but the rules can go die).
1) What are your plans for tonight?
2) What is your favourite perfume?
3) What is your middle name?
4) What has been your greatest personal accomplishment?
5) How would you describe your fashion sense in three words or less?
6) Furthest place from home you have traveled?
7) What is one song that brings a tear to your eye?
8) 3 things you would do if you were bored?
9) What is your favourite magazine?
10) What do you want to do when you retire, even if it is many, many years away?
11) How many children do you have or do you hope to have one day?
