Tagged on Thirds

Aunty Marianne has tagged me and I thank her for giving me the opportunity to answer the following questions:

Three Things That Scare Me:

• Anything bad that could happen to my children and people I'm fond of;
• A phone ringing during night time, which usually means bad news;
• The fact that people can't or just won't understand me.

Three People Who Make Me Laugh:

• Myself, I really do silly things sometimes;
• Numerous bloggers;
• Fernandel and Bourvil, may they rest in peace.

Three Things I Love:

• Being alive, through good and bad times;
• Free time, enjoying peace and quiet;
• The bagpipe and the Scottish landscape.

Three Things I Hate:

• Having only three answers to give to each of these questions;
• Grey skies and cold weather;
• Being alone when I have so much love to give.

Three Things I Don't Understand:

• Why some people are not as patient as I am;
• Why I always put other people’s interests before mine;
• Why men are so scared of women and why I don't have a boyfriend.

Three Things On My Desk:

At home:

• An empty mug and an ashtray:
• A pile of papers, namely bills paid via net banking;
• Dust.

In office:

• A terrible mess consisting of stacks of useless paper files;
• Hidden in a corner, my ‘best 40 year old’ mug I never use because it would need washing up about 5 times every day;
• L&M lights on top of my wallet.

No pictures of people I love but I must mention a saffon flower picture, my native region’s flag and Van Gogh’s Starry night on the wall I’m facing all week day long.

Three Things I'm Doing Right Now:

• Wondering what time I’ll turn in tonight since I slept all day long, typing my answers to these questions with my ten fingers, listening to the radio;
• Smoking my last cigarette and thinking I’ll have to get dressed and go to the night shop. Not only do I need fags, some white wine would make my evening more pleasant;
• Thinking there are many places I could be instead of staying home alone.

Three Things I Want To Do Before I Die:

• Grow older with the man I love;
• Do whatever I can to make this world a better place, make people around me feel happy;
• Visit a couple of far away places, such as Japan, Canada or Australia, and have a holiday in a tropical island.

Three Things I Can Do:

• Express myself better in writing than orally;
• Make a mess of my life, always falling for the “wrong” guy;
• Cook in large quantities, not because I eat much, I mean cook for up to 20 people for instance.

Three Things I Can't Do:

• Shut up. I must always have the last word;
• Take the “right” decision;
• Find a third answer when there are so many things I can't do...

Three Things I Think You Should Listen To:

• The piece of advice your friends, your parents or I would give you;
• The sound of silence;
• Whatever you fancy. This is a free world, after all.

Three Things I'd Like To Learn:

• Ballroom and more folk dance;
• Finally learn to play the guitar (it started and ended when I was a teenager);
• Martial arts.

Three Favourite Foods:

• Asian food in general;
• Chicken & rice soup, stuffed cabbage leaves & stuffed green peppers and tomatoes, my favourite Greek meals;
• Junk food: Manon café / Cornet de frites + sauce Andalouse / paprika crisps

Three Wonderful People to Inflict My Meme On:

• Toone the Tippler, just to piss him off once again;
• Dip Dop Crabtree and
• Kissme, in view of getting to know them better.

Questions I omitted:

Three Shows I Watched As A Kid:

• Sesame Street;
• The Muppet Show;
• La petite maison dans la prairie.

Three things you should never listen to:

• Anyone who would say you are useless;
• Your children or friends yelling at you;
• The flattering words of a man who had too much to drink.
