Shamelessly nicked from Fin

haggisOK, I'm crap. It's not even Friday.
1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Career wise, I didn't know, just what I didn't - teacher, doctor/anything involving blood and guts.
More seriously, I always wanted to figure everything out. I read voraciously and part of that was a belief that if I knew enough, I would know what to do in any situation and not mess up. Also, if I knew enough, I would understand enough.
I don't think it works like that any more but I guess I was looking for wisdom.
2. Do you have any nicknames?
None, other than self-applied ones such as Haggis.
3. If you could change something about yourself what would it be?
Everything! Hmm, physically I would like to be taller and thinner. I have agreed with my friend Elke that she is leaving me her legs after she dies.
But what I'd really like to change is me. I'm really self-critical and always wanted to change things about my personality. It's not that I don't like myself, just that I can see so many things I could improve. I wish I was kinder, nicer to my friends and better at staying in touch, more motivated and less lazy, more outgoing, less jealous, less bitchy and more adventurous. I guess it's partly Christian upbringing that taught me however good you are, you should always be better. On the other hand, it offered the promise of transformation into that better person in time.
4. Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial?
Nope
5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?
Hmm, a bit late. The weekend was spent - going to a friends BBQ, avoiding going to visit bf's family (not deliberately) and lazing around feeling guilty for lazing around and not looking for work.
The rest of the week will probably be spent not looking for work and feeling guilty about it, just for variety. :( See previous comment about lack of motivation
Hmm, that ended more depressingly than I intended. I'm just frustrated at my repeated failure to get myself together in a sensible way :( But I found Fin's new talker, so that's a cool achievement for the day.
