Here's this weeks questions:

Pet Peeves?
I always thought I was a pretty calm person, but lately things have been niggling me more. People who chew with their mouth open - eugh. I don't need to see that and the noise they make chewing is so irritating.
Parents who let their children run around and make a mess and just ignore them. When they do eventually leave they never clear the mess up after them. Grrrrr. We have a few of these in the library and it always irritates me when they come in.

Give us a glimpse into a typical day in your day starting when you wake up till you lie down again.
Well, a typical weekday would be - up at 8am get dressed, breakfast etc. Leave house at 8.40 to get to work for 9. Work at library until 6pm. Leave work, come home and eat dinner. Have 20 minutes to sit and read. Get up and changed ready to go out, then depending on the night I go to either Zumba (mon), Trampolining (tues & thurs), JuJitsu (weds) or Diving (fri). I tend to leave about 7pm and get home around 9.30. Once home I load up my computer, check blog comments, read posts by blogs I follow, post anything I have to post. Then check my Facebook and Twitter. Once that is done I will either sit and read or I will do some novel writing, or if I have any work or forms to do I will fill them in. If I'm really tired I will watch something either on YouTube or I will shut down and go to watch my TV. I usually go to bed between 12.30 and 1 - I flop exhausted and fall asleep in minutes.

Pizza or Pasta?
I love both but Pizza would win. I love me a good pizza. mmmm

Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is....
Hunger Games!!!

Favorite sport?
As you can see above I do a lot of sports and I love them all. I also love Gymnastics and wish I had time to get back into it. I also love to watch Gymnastics. But Out of the ones I do I think Diving is becoming my favourite but it's a close race. I also like to watch Diving, some of the things I've seen people do is incredible.

Here's this weeks questions:

If someone wrote a book about your life, what would the title be?
Erm, try 'Undecided' or 'Madness and Mayhem' or even 'Bookworm'

If you could have a signed copy of any novel what would it be and why?
Only one but there are so many! I would have to say Harry Potter because J.K Rowling is a legend!!!

Horror or Romance?
That would have to be Romance - but the clean kind. I'm a wimp so horror is of the table.

If you could choose only one time period and place to live, when and where would you live and why?
Well I am fascinated by the time of King Arthur  and would like to visit it, but I'm not sure I would stay there, no modern conveniences and too much violence for sport. I also have a fascination with Victorian times, but again - the hygiene then was appalling and people got hung and heads chopped off and eugh! Really I'd have to say I'm quite happy where I am.

Do you prefer a bunch of small gifts or one big expensive one?
It depends on what the gifts are really. I like a mixture of both.

Here's this weeks questions:

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
erm, I still don't know what I really want to do with my life. I always seem like I know what I'm doing - or so I've been told- but I know I haven't found IT yet, whatever that IT may be!

Beach or Pool?
Although I adore the beach I haven't been for years so Pool! I love the pool and couldn't live without it.

If you had 24 hours alone how would you spend it?
Catching up on some TV, read some books and do some writing.

Coke or Pepsi?
Neither - I don't drink fizzy drinks only fruit juice/squash

If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play the lead role and why?
Abilgail Breslin - she is such an amazing actress and I think she could do it justice. I would be honoured if she played me.


FYI - There will not be a Know Me Better Post next week since it is Thanksgiving.  We'll resume on Dec. 1st.

Here's this weeks questions:

If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you want with you?
A portable radio so I can contact for help, some food, some books.

What is one book everyone should read?
There are so many good books. But I will say the Bible, I haven't read all of it yet but I want to. Also Harry Potter's

If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
I have so many answers to this, but I think I would like to be able to fly.

Harry Potter or Twilight?
Harry Potter without a doubt, the best books EVER!
but to be honest though ANYTHING is better that Twi... no I can't even bring myself to type it. (If you can guess I really don't like it, sorry to anyone here who does, we're all entitled to our opinions)

Gum or Breath Mints?
Neither - I just brush my teeth. I am a fussy eater so I don't really eat anything that affects my breath too much, but if I did need something it would be a mild gum. Breath mints are usually too strong, Mint makes me feel sick if it's too strong.

What's your favorite season/weather?
My favourite season is Spring, when it's just getting warm but their is still a light breeze, their are flowers everywhere and everyone just seems happier and lighter.

PC or Mac?
Mac all the way, have been for years and would never go back. Can use both - we have PC's at work but they are a pain in the a**

Favorite music?
I have a wide taste in music, I like pop, country, musicals, light rock, anything really except for Opera and Metallica. I like something you can sing along to, dance to. or sit and chill to.

Facebook or Twitter?
I have both but I find Twitter confusing so I prefer Facebook

What TV show/movie/book do you watch/read that you'd be embarrassed to admit?
I still like to watch Children's TV shows like 'Tracy Beaker' and 'Victorious', I know I'm too old for it really but I can chill to it and it reminds me of my childhood.

What do you do in your free time?
Free time? What's that? hehe, I read and blog of course, but I also do Zumba, Trampolining, JuJitsu,  High Board Diving, I like to write and watch DVD's and the odd TV show.

What movie are you looking forward to this year?
erm, not sure really, whats coming out? The only one I'm obsessively counting down to is 'Hunger Games' out March 2012.

Spontaneity or Planning Ahead?
Can you have spontaneous planning? coz that's more my thing. I will decide to go somewhere on short notice, but then once I've decided to go I have to plan the event as much as I can. But I do prefer a plan.

Sadness, I am a naturally happy person and even when I'm down I try to get back up as soon as possible, but I also cry quite easily - I am very emphatic so feel emotions easily.

Hot or Cold?
Hot, but not too hot, I don't like the cold with all the layers and shivering, I like a nive warm day with the sun shining and fresh air.

1) When you were little, what did you want to be when you "grew up"?

2) Black or White?
White, as it's like a blank canvas, you can fill the space with anything you like. Be creative

3) Favorite Food?
Chocolate Fudge Cake mmm, closely followed by Pizza.

4) You have won one million dollars what is the first thing that you would buy?
I would be boring and pay off my parents mortgage and bills, I would then buy us a nice house with a room I could use as my own giant library. :D I would also pay to go to Disneyworld/Harry Potter Land in Florida.

5) Print or Ebook?
Print all the way!
