7 Things Meme

I've been tagged by various people to do that seven things meme that's floating around. I don't usually do meme things, but it's Sunday morning, I really should be working, and I'd really rather not be, so I'll do this instead for a while.
I'm not one for following the rules if I can't be bothered, and there was a whole lot of blah at the top of this one, but the upshot of it was that you should write seven random things about yourself. And then tag some other people, but as everyone else has done it, I won't bother with that bit.

So, seven random things about me:

1) Whilst I am conceptually worried about global warming and flooding, on a personal level it doesn't worry me quite so much: I live on the second floor, half way up a hill, five miles from a major waterway. If I get flooded, the rest of you will have already drowned...

2) I was a Babe in the Wood in a local pantomime when I was four. They forgot to warn the children that the lights would be going off backstage, so they ended up with 30 screaming, frantic 4 year olds on their hands. Silly people.

3) This will completely give me away to anyone who is reading this and who knows me but doesn't know I'm kinky. On the other hand, what the hell are you doing reading a spanking blog if you are not kinky yourself?! Anyway, I'm scared of wrists, as in if I think about them on any level I turn slightly green and go a little faint. Yes, I know I *have* wrists. Don't remind me.

4) I'm dyslexic. I tend to use this as an excuse for poor spelling more than I should do, but when it comes to "proper" longhand writing, form filling and copying things down, it actually does have an impact. So don't ever make me do lines, okay?

5) I'm making up for lost time now, because I was stupidly good at school. I got kept in once at break when I was 10. I was so upset, I never did anything that would get me into trouble ever again.

6) Oh, apart from getting my mother to shout at my history teacher, who had lost my history exercise book and then accused me of having lost it. She shouted, he apologised, I found it in the back of my wardrobe 3 weeks later and never told anyone. Whoops.

7) I pretty much always have itchy feet. In the metaphorical sense you understand... I try and go on a long (4 weeks plus) holiday every 3 or 4 years, and have been talking about taking a year's career break to travel for a while now. When I told one of my vanilla friends about the whole spanking thing, she was mostly just relieved that I wasn't announcing I was buggering off round the world for a year. Of course, one thing I will have to think about now if I do decide to take a year off is how I will cope for a year without being spanked. Or alternatively how I will find people to spank me all round the world ;-)

So there you have it, seven random things about me. I suppose I'd better do some work now.

You could of course take a spanker with you as you go round the world - to mutual benefit!

Have only just found your blog - via Freshly Spanked - will now I guess be a regular visitor.

Can I come round the world with you, please? I won't spank you, but I'm sure I could help you get spanked somehow...

PS your word verification is making me type rude words! Shock, horror!

Eliane said...

Oooo, what rude words?! I tried to get my Swedish friend to teach me rude words today, but she wasn't having any of it. Very boring.
(Oh, and of course you can come travelling with me!)

Bad ones, that I can't repeat cos there's elderly around, and their ears might fall off and go up in flames.

And yay for the travelling! (Wait, we're not, like, trekking are we? Cos I don't do that...)

Irelynn said...

I wanna come too Eliane! And if you're really desperate I'll even spank you, even though that's not really my thing. Can we go in 2011? Cause that's when I've finished my degree :D Oh, and I have no problem with trekking, it's cool!

The word verification thing is always making me type interesting words. Earlier today it was pants (okay, plus a 'w' at the end, but whatever). Now it's calican, which I will translate to "Can can" to make it more interesting. Hehe!

Winchester said...

So far you have just 3 spakees for your tour round the world - needs a bit of balance don't you think? ........

Eliane said...

OK, Winchester, if you promise to be nice to me, Smudge and Irelynn you may come travelling with us. Smudge, I don't *do* trekking. Well, only a little bit. I'm afraid I'm a bit spoilt, as befits my status as Empress, and I have to travel business class ;-) I suspect you won't have a problem with that though. You and I can sit and sip cocktails whilst Irelynn goes trekking and Winchester carries her things.

Winchester said...

Sounds interesting ..

Anonymous said...

Oh, that's okay. I can do Business Class. It's scum class and trekking I have issues with. Goes against my morals and stuff. But Winchester can carry my stuff too, I'm not lugging bags around if Irelynn doesn't have to.

Eliane said...

OK, Winchester, you are the official bag carrier for all of us. And you may occasionally be allowed to spank us if we are in the mood. Otherwise you will need to sit quietly in the corner and peel us grapes.

Oh, very *good*, Eliane! You're going to do very well this weekend, I can already tell :D

Winchester said...

Peeling grapes? Next thing is you'll expect them to be de-pipped too.

Abel1234 said...

Have you ever been dealt with for item 6 on the list? If not, it's never too late ;-)

Winchester said...

Oh yes it is Abel - there must be a statute of time limitation - otherwise we would all be in serious trouble!

Eliane said...

Abel, no I have never been dealt with for item six, and as Winchester says, there must be statute of limitations on these things! Anyway, it was my parents fault. If they had given me the "tidy" gene I never would have lost the book in the first place.

And Winchester, of course we want them de-pipped. I hate pips in my grapes. Is that an issue?!

grace said...

As much as I love your 7 meme, I am finding the comments much more interesting....

Sounds like quite a trip. I'm sure if you planned well enough, you could find a spanker anywhere you went. Wouldn't that be fun? Spanked by different people around the world....

Hey, a girl can dream...LOL

HUGS!

No issue - just takes longer! You might get a teeny bit hungry while waiting! (Especially if it's a case of "one for you and one for me")
