Thanks to those of you that asked questions. You actually came up with some really good ones!!

1 - How long have you been blogging and what are your favorite blogs to visit?
I've been blogging since May 2007, besides my girls, I visit a lot of the Australian blogs. According to Te, So I was Thinking, Another Girl Another Blog, Girl on Tour. As well as the Una Bella Vita, Le sites (Love & Smoking), the Drifter & the Gypsy, P!nk & Orchestrated Destiny is a new one too. I do have to say - I read all the blogs on my list, they're my Google Reader & my saviour when work goes quiet. *note* apparently my Google Reader didn't import my blog list completely. Most of my regular reads, weren't there! */note*

2 - If you could live anywhere in the world and not have to worry about money, where would you go?
This would have to be Italy. Perhaps Milan, especially if money is no option. Think of the designers!

2b - If you were stuck on an island with only...one person who would it be?
I'd say Johnny Depp or Ewan McGregor for conversation and James Marsden, Bruce Willis or Jason Statham... not for conversation. I know, I just made it two people. So sue me.

3 - Do you look to anyone in particular (eg celebrity, bloggers) for style inspiration? If so, who?
I had to really think about this one. While I've got a lot of fashion blogs on my list, I don't have any specific inspiration. A lot of their images & outfits are made for sticks. One of which I am not. I prefer to take aspects of the trends as they come through, & try to make them work for me. I don't have one set style. There are a load of people who dress really well, but in reality, their budget would blow my mind, or their outfit wouldn't look good on me. I've tried.

4 - What are your favourite movies?
I like action movies the best. Die Hard 4, The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, The Life of David Gale, Count of Monte Christo, Derailed... I also like The Beach, The Holiday & Dirty Dancing.

5 - And favourite food?
I'd have to say Asian food. I love sushi, stirfries, noodle dishes, really fresh, vege-ful meals. I do love my Nonna's cooking as well (Italian) but no one else does it quite like her.

6 - What is your profession/job/money earner?
Ms GOT, I wish you didn't ask this!! =P I work as a Systems Analyst (trainee Project Manager) in IT. It's an interesting job, very detail & process oriented. Definitely not where I thought I'd be working.

7 - What traits jump out to you in a person (in general, friends, men etc) when you first decide you like somebody?
In general - I have to say personal appearance. Not to come across as shallow, I do believe that how you look after yourself & your body has a little bit to say about what you find important. To the same extent, if you put TOO much effort into the exterior, I tend to think that it's your priority.
Friends - Openness & ability to hold a (2 way) conversation. I have a (somewhat bad) habit of trusting people until they prove me otherwise. I'm open, I value my friends, I will listen, but I expect the same.
Men - Family relationship & conversation topics. If they don't speak well of their family I find we lose a priority of mine. Conversation topics - if they stick the lowest common denominator (sex, drugs, rock'n'roll & booze) I don't have much in common with them.

Gosh - those answers makes me sound like a b****. I'm not I swear. I've just been through a lot, so I gotsta be tough. =)

8 - What book should everyone read?
The bible. I have NO idea about this one. Everyone has really different tastes in literature & to be honest, no book has really stuck with me that much. For an edible book (ie you eat straight through it) I'd suggest Matthew Reilly. Slightly beyond believable, but so close to it, you just don't mine.

9 - What dreams do you have for the future?
I want to enjoy working & get really good at whatever it is I'm supposed to do. I'd love to travel the world. I'd love to have a warehouse apartment in the artsy corner of a cultural city, be rich, famous & never have to work again. And have crazy adventures with my friends.

In the short term, I'd be happy to just find my dream career. I want to enjoy life & all it's challenges.
