The Daily 11

I was tagged in the Daily 11 by Me from My Journey - Am I There Yet? .

I hope you enjoy these random facts about me 

The Rules :

Post the rules
  1. You must post 11 random things about yourself
  2. Answer the questions set for you in this post
  3. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer
  4. Go to their  blog and tell them you have tagged them
  5. No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this" - you legitimately have to tag 11 people (However if I haven't tagged you and you would like to play along just leave a comment with your blog address and I will add you to my list of tagged peeps)

11  Random Things About Tif :
  1. Apart from my gorgeous Mum and beautiful Nanna, my two role models for being a woman are Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe
  2. I still have the He-Man toys and Castles I owned as a child
  3. I secretly want to be a police officer (but would totes be too fat and unhealthy to get in)
  4. I am addicted to television. I love it, especially Crime/Police shows, Sci-fi, Fantasy and my guilty pleasure is reality shows (but only certain ones... mostly ones with Gordon Ramsey... and Cupcake Wars... and Pawn Stars... oh and Sister Wives )... But I'll pretty much watch anything if it has a good story.
  5. I am allergic to Capsicum, a blessing I inherited from my mother.
  6. I don't drink alcohol on a regular basis and haven't done since I was 18. Every now and then (once a year at most) I will try a glass of wine or have a glass of Gin, Cranberry Juice and Lime but it is always a struggle for me to get through as I really don't like the taste of alcohol.
  7. Since giving up Coca-Cola 3 weeks ago I drink between 3 and 4 litres of water a day and spend a lot of time running to the toilet for a wee
  8. I have dreamt of visiting Paris since I was about 5 years old... haven't made it yet but hopefully in the next 10 years
  9. I love playing all those stupid games on Facebook. I know this makes me a very sad individual but I don't care. (I don't play Farmville though, it's a boring game)
  10. I read the last three Harry Potter books in less than 8 hours each

Now to answer the questions from Me:
  1. Sedan, 4x4 or sports car ? Because I currently have three children I would say 4x4 but if I didn't have to worry about the kids then definitely a sports car!
  2. Fruit or veg ? This is a hard one! I love both fruit and veg but fruit often gives me an itchy mouth (because of my hayfever I think) so I'm gonna go with veg. Also because nothing beats roast vegies!
  3. Gold or silver ? If you've got lots of money then white gold but I will make do with silver you don't! I do not like yellow gold and I absolutely despise rose gold
  4. Inland or the coast ? Coast. Wish we lived closer to it
  5. Picnic or restaurant ? Depends on the occasion but I'd probably lean more towards restaurant because I have to do all the prep and cleanup for a picnic
  6. Diamonds or pearls ? Diamonds... they're a girl's best friend! (Boop boop be doop)
  7. Wear a watch or not ? I wish I was a watch person but I'm totally not. In fact I hardly ever know what the time is
  8. Walking or running ? Walking, I've always been a walker, I love it
  9. Cadbury or Nestle chocolate ? Cadbury!!! How is that even a question! ;)
  10. Caravan or hotel ? Again it depends on the situation but I do like having people come in and do the cleaning in a hotel!
  11. Dogs or cats ? I'm such a fence sitter! I like both cats and dogs. They have different strengths and weaknesses. At the moment we only have dogs though and I do not miss having cat fur all over the house and my clothes

My Tagees :
I hope these delightful people don't mind that I've tagged them (I know some people hate these kind of things) and there is no pressure to participate if you don't want to. Some of you I have tagged because you haven't posted on your blogs for a while and I wanted to give you a nudge. All of you I have tagged because I like the way your brains say and write things!

    Thanks for thinking of me! I don't think I will be taking part, as it may require, you know, thinking. I did visit every blog that was tagged, though, and found some wonderful new (to me) ones to read. :-)

World Domination and the Darkness

"Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night Pinky -  try to take over the world!" Two things are clear to me , I love that cartoon and Brain never suffered from depression. You see it's much easier to try to take over the world if you don't have to use every ounce of motivation and determination in your body to get out of bed each morning. If Brain had suffered from depression it is likely he may have given up his plan after the first failure. For even the smallest hurdle can, to a depressive, seem like an insurmountable barrier. Now don't get me wrong, there are lots of depressed people who have achieved all sorts of amazing things. World domination while depressed is not completely impossible its just a hell of a lot harder. Before people start accusing me of being a whiner and making excuses I would first ask those people a) do you currently have or have you ever depression? and b) can you shut your stupid...

I don't want to be that weird, creepy girl

Sometimes I meet people and I know instantly that they are awesome! They laugh at the same things I laugh at, they share similar views to me on things, they are clever, sassy and generally pretty neato (I'm mostly talking about other ladies here), and I think to myself, you're pretty fantastic and I would love to have you as my friend and do stuff with you and hang out and talk about life and love and stupid things we've done. Then comes the kicker. How, as a thirty something grown woman, do you ask another grown woman over for a play date or out for dinner, without seeming like a weirdo / lesbian / desperate / friendless / loser? It's much easier for kids to make new friends, they just say stuff like "I like He-Man and you like He-Man and I think that makes you totally the best and we should be best friends forever until we're like, old and wrinkly and  our butts sag" then they piss themselves laughing and the friendship is cemented. But that just doesn...

now you're just somebody that i used to know

this song by gotye (good thing this is typed or i'd still be stumbling over the pronunciation... goat-ee-ay... gotcha...goat-yee...) is one of my favourites at the moment and is on constant rotation at my house and in my car. the song is about two ex lovers but has gotten me thinking about all those people that were once an intrinsic part of my life, helped me to define who i was and my place in the world and are now just some people that i used to know. we all have them. those people that we thought we would be friends with forever, that we talked to every day, hung out with all the time, people who knew all our in jokes because they helped create them, knew all the stories of our past. then suddenly you wake up one day and realise its been a month since you saw them, then its six months, then you can't remember the last time you saw them. you think about calling them but it feels awkward, then you tell yourself that they could call you if they wanted to. time passes and the...
