Quirk about yourself:
Can touch my nose with my tongue. Actually not that unusal, I’ve learned.

Your favourite catchphrase:
I tend to preface conclusive statements with the word “Clearly.” As in “Clearly, we need another drink.”

A secret goal you hope to achieve:
To someday have enough money that everything I own will be beautiful, no matter how mundane.

Sophie – Mr Smaggle is synaesthetic too! Except his is with music not numbers. You totally made my day by saying Smaggle is dusty pink. It’s pretty close to being my favourite colour ever!

Niki – Your goal is totally not unrealisic. They are such a weird moralistic band that you could convince them to do it for free and donate money to charity at the same. It’s a great goal. Really specific and really niche. Go for it girl! I’m sure I’ll see your name in lights one day!

QUIRK = In keeping with the habitual eating theme, I get fixated on vegetables. So in the last few years it’s been brocolli, then it was mushrooms and now it’s eggplant. If it’s on the menu I order it without question! Pretty soon my man will snap, “Can’t you just eat some fucking carrots for once!?”

CATCHPHRASE = Damn I can never remember the things I say too much, which infuriates me when it comes to these things. Um, I’ve been saying ‘toolburger’ a fair bit, like “Oh man, I felt like such a toolburger walking into the guys toilets.” Also, I say ‘Nuh!’ really obnoxiously and like a bogan as often as possible. It’s funnier when people have only said two words and you interrupt them, like “Hey can-” “Nah!” I’ve been told I can ‘pull this off’ because I’m not actually a bogan.

SECRET (read: unrealistic) goal = to have one of my screenplays produced with either just Thom Yorke or Radiohead on the soundtrack. I would DIE. (A happy death.)

Okay mini-tag:

1. I’m synaesthetic – I see words and numbers, months, days and years as colours and patterns. For example “Smaggle” is a dusky pink.

2. I over-use Awesome and Duuuuuude. terrible I know.

3. I want to meet Mark Oliver Everett from the band Eels and have his children, it’s a mild obsession, I don’t even want children in “real” life!

Ivy – Ha ha that’s taking OCD to entirely different level! And I do the licious thing too! My cat is Kenny-licious!

Nicole – You don’t drink soft drink? I wouldn’t survive without Diet Coke! And this is really weird but my friend says ‘pants’. She calls me ‘Lady-pants!’

Skyla – Where are your answers? Come on I’m always curious about my readers!

Na – I didn’t know about the champagne one! Obviously I’m familiar with your over-use of douchebag. And Clive Owen? I always assumed it would be someone younger and prettier with puppy dog eyes and long hair.

1. Quirk: Though I’m able to drink truly staggering amounts of gin/whisky/beer/shiraz/pretty mucH ANYTHING and not fall over, two glasses of champagne will make me hurl.

2. Favourite thing to say: well it’s obvious, innit. Douchebag.

3. Secret goal: again, not so secret. Marry Clive Owen and have lots of sex and beautiful dark-haired babies and write ace novels and own a first edition of A Handful of Dust and an original Odilon Redon etching. and never give up smoking.

Um but I’ll be original and think of one of my weird quirks…
Oh, maybe it’s not so weird but I don’t drink pop, or soda, or whatever you want to call it, and if I sleep I need some kind of white noise like a fan going otherwise it isn’t going to happen.

My favorite thing to say is any word or name with the word ‘pants’ on the end. I think it sounds great. Smagglepants! I also really enjoy saying “Sweet titties” unexpectedly. It gets shocked looks and big laughter.

I would love to write a novel, and at least sell a few copies and get some good reviews. That would be amazing!

And no, don’t worry about the music. I love love love the Monkees! Hahaha now how embarrassing is that?!

1. I have to have everything symmetrical. I think I’m bordering on OCD, but everything must be even! I once took out my ear piercings in my left ear but because I got my right nipple pierced and had to have the same amount of piercings on either side of my body – yeah, I know..

2. I just realised all my phrases involve profanity lol. I like “boo-ya, mother f****r” (lol) and “you rock the kazbar”. It’s funny, we do the “face” and “head” thing too!! I also like to put “icious” on the end of ppl’s names. Smaggle-icious.

3. I secretly want to live in an upper-class apartment in the city, and have dinner parties whilst sipping martinis. Swank.

This was such a fun post, it fulfuls the nosey part of myself. You rock the kazbar, Smaggle-icious! xx
