Blogged by the Self-Blogger

I’ve been tagged by Bevis over at I Blogged Myself, so it’s only nice to reply. You’ve got to give the people what they want.

What were you doing ten years ago?

I was ten, and just starting Year 5. My interest in performing was just starting to develop.

What were you doing one year ago?

I think I was getting ready to move house, and was starting my second year of uni. I was also probably playing for the children’s musical.

Five snacks you enjoy:

1. Chocolate chip biscuits (Top of the list are Decadents and Mrs. Fields)
2. Muffins: I love chocolate and chocolate chip, as well as poppy seed muffins.

5. Buy all the CDs I’ve ever wanted by couldn’t buy.

Five bad habits:

1. Arguing when I’m tired.
2. Apparently being intimidating (what’s that about?)
3. Having a bad sleeping pattern.
4. Not finishing blog memes.
5.

Five things you like doing:

1. Listening to and studying musical theatre

    I love it. Particularly your fifth bad habit (and the dinosaur).

    Thank you for indulging me and giving the person what he wanted. I trust it wasn’t too disruptive to you and your other readers.

    In the meantime, see my recent comment on my blog, asking you what’s up with your not-so-cloaked reference to my personal history. Or, if it turns out to be totally random and accidental, … whoa!

  2. steph says:

    I love reading meme’s and creating my own. Hate, loathe and detest filling them out though. And jebus, your so intimidating!

  3. Tyson says:

    Bevis – I aim to please. I also please to aim, but that’s a rather more personal interest. This whole Kind-Of-Knowing-You-But-Not-Really-Or-Do-I-? thing unravelling on your blog is intriguing.

    Steph – Funny, it’s the other way around for me. I guess I like talking about myself. I LOVE it. My favourite four words… “And what about you?”. Watch me take a breath and off I go. I like to work in an anecdote that I know will go down well. I also rely on my speedy-gonzales wit to carry me across the line. And get out of my face before I embarrass you publicly.

Consuming Passions

This is old content from my previous blog, EveryGoodBoyDeservesFruit.com. Check out the new stuff too.

I came home early today to eat lunch at home to save money. I kept a stash of leftovers from my previous several meals to eat. After not being home for some four days, my brother came home while I was out, devoured every single morsel of my food, and left his own giant slab of salmon in the fridge, knowing I won’t touch it. This after I specifically told him twice not to eat my leftovers (he has done it before).

If I had the strength, I would go and destroy his belongings right now.

I’m so hungry.

Later: I’ve decided what his punishment should be. I will eat his salmon and then vomit it back up all over his bed. And people wonder why I’m so skinny.

    Whilst your bulimic revenge would make an amusing, if disgusting, punishment, may I offer the suggestion that you perhaps offer him some kind of peace offering, such as a double chocolate chip muffin or some nice chocolate chip cookies, made using laxettes rather than cooking chocolate?

    Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold and vomit is just too warm.

  2. steph says:

    DO IT! and then post the pics so we can all be grossed out.

  3. Tamaline says:

    Emaciation is a small price to pay for the rapturous feeling such regurative revenge would bring, but Tyson please always remember that random acts of projectile vomiting should not be restricted to mere acts of revenge, dont limit yourself, think outside the square .. theres a whole world outside.

  4. Tamaline says:

    Steph, what you mean ‘grossed out’?

  5. Tyson says:

    Kevin – If I’m baking for anyone, it’s me.

    Steph / Tamaline – Sorry to say the last time I vomited was last year when I was choking on a piece of steak and almost died. Before that it was when I was about 7 and ate too much chocolate one easter. I woke early in the morning to a very nasty reminder of why a balanced diet is important.

  6. Tammy says:

    Tyson responds .. ‘I woke early in the morning to a very nasty reminder of why a balanced diet is important’ thats all well and good Tyson if you DO want a settled stomach.

If I set aside the stress caused by the last two nights rehearsals, I’m absolutely thrilled to be so busy again. I haven’t felt this exhausted in a long while, and it’s exciting to know I have to wake up early tomorrow and do it all again.
