I've been tagged

I'm not good at updating, but here is a tag that a friend sent me:

B: Answer the questions about yourself
C: Tag 5 people, let them know in a comment on their blogs that they have been tagged.

What were you doing 10 yrs ago?

I was in high school, living with my parents. Did anything really important happen that year? Probably! But it was 10 years ago!

Snacks I enjoy:

* chocolate
* capers and pickles
*haagen daaz sticky toffee pudding ice cream


Five things on my to-do list today:

* finish doing my laundry
* Write a lecture.
* Go to costco and stock up on groceries
* study some boring things
*have a nap

Things I would do if I became a billionaire:

That would be too much money. I'd probably put enough in investments so that I could get $100,000 a year in interest for life. Then I'd rent a place in southern France, and fly out all of my friends and family for a big party. I'd give them all enough money to travel for a bit, and I'd travel a bit. I'd give a few hundred thou to each of my close friends and family. Finally, I'd buy a bigger condo, maybe a townhouse in the city I live in. I'd make sure I had a gym and pool in my building. Finally, I'd take the remaining money, and that should be a lot, and donate it to charity. I'd probably also give money to charity out of my interest. Oh yeah, and I'd quit being a TA and go to school full time.

3 bad habits:

* Working on things like this at work, instead of working on the above to do list.
* Not cleaning my apartment enough
* Eating things like crackers and peanut butter for dinner, even though I have a fridge full of fresh organic vegetables.

5 places I have lived:

Huh. Well, I'll sacrifice a bit of my anonymity by listing some places in alphabetical order. Where I live now may or may not be on this list:

* Halifax, Nova Scotia
* Montreal, Quebec
* St. Johns, Newfoundland
* Toronto, Ontario
* Vancouver, BC

I lived in some of these places longer than others. I think we've established I'm Canadian, and in fact, I have visited every province, but none of the territories


Jobs I have had:

* Nanny
* Security
* Barrista at a coffee shop
* Analyst in a marketing company
* Tutor
* Instructor
* Switchboard operator
* Teaching Assistant
* Bar maid
* Secretary
* Dispatcher

Probably some others too. I've had a lot of jobs.

Things people don’t know about me:

Huh, well, this kind of contradicts that, doesn't it? I mean, as soon as I say nobody knows, people kind of know, you know? But here are some little things:

* I switched my major 6 times in undergrad.
* I have a reputation that I foster of being really into rock music, but the artist who I have the most songs by on my itunes is Steve Earle. Second is Foo Fighters though, and they rock.
*I met Molly Ringwald once. Ok, that's not a secret but it was awesome so I'm gonna mention it.

Ok: now you know more about me. Also, you know I suck at keeping a blog. So, some topics I've thought of writing about are: "I hate Microsoft, or why I'm writing this in notepad" and "Carbon Neutral coffee? Really?!"


Ok, I'll think about who to tag and comment it here.
