skatey katie said...

:o) yay sarah.

1. it's usually at least eleven am before i get to making my own breakfast: this week it's been: organic cardboard-style muesli (needs lots of chewing, tastes like cardboard. i need to get back to my hubbard's berry berry nice, but there's like 0% fat in the cardboard stuff) and yoghurt and milk.
and an espresso. but i am in deep depression because the machine broke today and it'll be at least three weeks to replace the part. if they do replace it, cos machine is two years old. i have spent all afternoon trying to get a plan to wangle a replacement while mine is at fix-it-man.

2. i have my hair cut and streaked with blonde once a year max.. when the kids' homeschooling allowance arrives in my bank account. it costs me $NZ 80 at my funky friend catherine's home salon, and i'm very attached to my annual experience.

3. oh sheesh, i have a cupboard full of movies that i watch over and over as the muse descends: the princess bride (this, imnsho, is the defining movie: people fall in to two categories: those who can quote the entire script of the princess bride, and those who can't. well, that's kinda obvious, but I *know* that we'll be soul mates if ya're in the first category). more? the saint, the thomas crown affair, mr & mrs smith, kate and leopold, what a girl wants, all the kids movies, freaky friday, charlie's angels #1 (#2 is rubbish), a knight's tale, top gun, pride and prejudice (2005), ever after... is there a pattern emerging here?? lol

4. er, can we just do movies??

5. gemini

6. b. love

7. a. lash out verbally. i'm definitely a ranter.

michi said...

skatey katie said...

lana turner eh??
i confess i had to google her: i think i woulda preferred marilyn, or diane, or even angelina for goodness' sake.

but i did notice this in her biography:
"Lana loved going to the movies. Every weekday she would save a nickel of her lunch money to put toward the twenty-five cent Saturday matinee. Her appreciation for the elaborate costumes of actresses Kay Frances and Norma Shearer carried over into her own career, and earned her a reputation for wearing some of the most beautiful costumes in film history. In fact, if she hadn't gone into movies, Lana always said she would have become a fashion designer"

so i think you (and stella) could be onto something....
love your quizzes girl :o)
