Monday's meme

OK, Ben tagged me. So, the four things thing...
Sorry folks. I really don't visit any site daily. Some days I don't even pick up my computer. Google would be closest though.
If two of these people keep the meme alive I would be surprised. But I am not really a compulsive blogger anyway. But hey, here it is.
Make of it what you will. I tend not to like doing these actually. I avoid doing Myers-Briggs thingos and the like. I think it is because I don't like describing myself in terms that are prescribed by others based on assumptions that
Four jobs I've had
- Sculpture Restoration. Queen Victoria monument, Melbourne
- Cleaner. Prahran Swimming Pool, among other places.
- Performer. Reciting poetry in the middle of the bush, and other oddities
- Ski Instructor. I was helping out in a ski shop in exchange for gear and lessons, and did my instructor's ticket. I think only once did I help give a "real" (paid) ski lesson. Lucky the real instructor was there, I guess, since people were paying for it
Four movies I can watch over and over
- Harold and Maude
- The Princess Bride
- The Negotiator. (I was surprised by this one. I have watched it in planes, hotels, etc and can watch it again. Although I never went to the cinema to see it, and can't imagine doing so).
- Blade Runner
Four places I have lived
- Footscray, in the west of Melbourne
- Juan-les-Pins, in the south of France
- Oslo, Norway
- Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Four television shows I love to watch
- Cricket.
- Dunno, I am not much of a TV watcher really. I don't have one, so don't complusively watch much if anything.
- Whatever is playing. I do have a problem with being distracted by TV if it is on. Although I don't really love it.
- 4 Corners.
Four places I have been on vacation
- New Zealand
- Whitsunday Islands
- Mt. Hotham
- Paris
Four of my favourite dishes
- Roast Lamb. And lots of stuff with it.
- Sashimi.
- Meat Pie.
- Goỉ Gà. (I don't recall if that is the right spelling
sorry).
Four websites I visit daily
Sorry folks. I really don't visit any site daily. Some days I don't even pick up my computer. Google would be closest though.
Four places I would rather be right now
- Melbourne, hanging out with friends and family.
- Antarctica.
- In a kitchen.
- In a nice quiet green park, where it isn't too cold.
Four bloggers I am tagging

I did the Myers-Briggs thingos and I found it useful to find the words to describe myself and read about tendencies and patterns. I do the Myers-Briggs thingos several times a year. I like to see how stable I am indicated to be.
I even did IQ tests last year, out of curiosity, and boy, had I known before, I would have done something about it earlier.
I guess some people find reassurance in those tests, meaningful information. I guess others do not need any of that.
Cheerio.

Ahh, sorry. I was just curious
I do find it interesting to see these sorts of things float around the blogs of various "web people". They're pretty superficial but can be fun.

Koalie, finding out you are as smart as people already know you are is nice. And yes, most of these things are superficial, and that can make them fun. It oten makes me a little tiny bit nervous, though. Maybe I am a little bit afraid of what I will find out...
cheers
