Both Kaily Hart and Romy Sommer have nominated me for a Kreativ Blog award – thanks for the kudos guys! – so I’d better get on with it eh? I have to reveal 7 interesting things about me and pass it on to 7 other bloggers. Righto…
7 interesting things about me (well, at least semi-interesting):
1. I took singing lessons and entered competitions (wearing my Doc Martens) when I was in my 20s. Singing opera. Needless to say I don’t sing any more, except to my iPod and not opera. I actually still like opera but these days I’m a bit more alternative. 😉
2. I am a gadget girl (surprise, surprise). Love my iPod, my iPhone, and my PC. I’m now after an ereader.
3. I play computer games. Not so much these days now I write, but I used to love playing The Sims and any fantasy adventure game. I also quite like playing Halo on the xBox (but only with my friends whom I can shoot).
4. I used to swim competitively in my teens. And I hated it (though I still love swimming for fun) which is why I quit.
5. I can ski moderately well. A fact that continues to surprise me whenever I put on a pair of skis as I’m useless with most sports!
6. I love reading Science Fiction. I have umpteen dozen beginnings for many SF stories but never finished any of them. Combining SF and romance would be the best. Sadly M&B have no SF Romance category.
7. I travelled quite a bit when I was overseas years ago. The most unusual place I went to was St Petersburg for two weeks. This may or may not be interesting but I don’t meet many Kiwis who have been to Russia.
Seven blogs to nominate (and I’m nominating people here who may not have had this award yet):
Lorraine Wilson
Rachel Johns
Maisey Yates
Joanne Cleary
Judy Jarvie
Suzanne Jones
Lacey Devlin
Ooooh, thanks Jackie. And congratulations to you for getting the award in the first place.

Congrats Jackie. If Kaily hadn’t hit us both for the award, I would have chosen you too. 🙂 Doesn’t it feel good to be loved?
congrats Jackie! I love your blog!
Suzanne – cheers! I bet you’ve already had this one though. Yours is so good.
Hetal – It does feel good! Must drop round yours more often.
Kerrin – thanks! I’m incredibly flattered that people seem to find my witterings helpful.
So now I have to go revealing 7 things about myself, Jackie? Lord save you all from the TMI. And thanks for the nom. 🙂
No worries, Maisey. I’m keen to see what you will reveal. Snicker. 🙂
Congrats on the award and your hidden talent! I’m pretty sure I could kill someone if I dared to put on skis lol Thanks for the nom 🙂
No worries, Lacey! Lol re the skis! I’d probably do the same with a snowboard. 🙂
You beat me to it – I was going to email you this morning (my time) to let you know I’d nominated you. Congrats and keep up the good work!
I’d already read yours, Romy! Kaily nominated me while I was away and your nomination reminded me I should get onto it. 🙂
I just posted on Romy’s blog but have to say again–I love these interesting facts about people.
So, an opera singing, skiing swimmer. So cool!
And thanks for nominating me. I will get onto that this weekend 🙂
Thanks Jackie. Your posts are always thought provoking, even if it’s ‘yeah, I need more shoes too!’. I’m a bit of a gadget freak myself. Comes from being spawned from the IT industry, I guess. I have a laptop but I want a mini-computer I can take everywhere with me. I’d held off because that will be my present to myself when I get THE CALL!!!
Joanne – yeah, it’s cool to see what other stuff people have got going on in their lives eh? Will have to check yours out when you do it.
Kaily – Nice present! I’m not sure what I’ll get myself if (when!) I get the Call. I hope it won’t be a walking stick due to it taking 20 years. 🙂
as an aside, i still can’t get the word count widget to work. i so want one like everyone else does on their blog but it just won’t work for me! I’ve even emailed the creator and no help! Anyways, congrats again. I keep checking back in hopes you hear very soon about ‘The Call’ 🙂
That’s a nuisance, Kerrin. You pasted in the code right? Will it just not show up at all?
