• Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

I wouldn’t consider myself as having nicknames, I get called Kim, which is just shortened from Kimberly. I also get called Kimmy which is just a variant that I picked up somewhere along the line. I don’t know whether not having some outrageous nickname is a bad thing or not.

No matter which way you look at it though, calling me Kimberly is more likely to get my attention over calling me anything else.

• Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have

Dreams, well I have a dream of winning the big one but that has yet to come to me.

My main goal is to build my primary income from the work I do with in the New Media area.

Planning for the dream house is up there which kind of goes hand in hand with my goals of living comfortably and with in our means.

I think this area is probably due for a sit down and revisit what needs to be prioritised and re-establish target dates to get there.

• Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

Why on earth would I want to switch lives with anyone. I like my life very much and don’t think there is anyone I would like to live in their shoes.

Having said that though. Does switching lives with my cat for one day count? I wouldn’t mind see just what it is she gets upto. Oh, hang on. Sleep, eat and sleep some more followed by chasing things around the house and being waited on hand and foot.. Well, Maybe I could do that for a day.

• Day 16- Another picture of yourself

How many photos does one want of me.. As I said early on in the game, I do not consider myself photogenic. Therefore avoid being in them.. Is this challenge trying to tell to drop my inhibitions of having my photo taken or what?

Well, here you go. Yet another photo of me for all your amusement.

• Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play

Well, This is an easy one for a change. I don’t even have to think for it.

1. Pink Floyd – The Great Gig In The Sky
2. Joe Satriani – Crystal Planet
3. Aerosmith – Helter Skelter
4. Faith No More – We Care A Lot
5. Megadeth – Trust
6. Billy Idol – Mony Mony
7. My Chemical Romance – House of Wolves
8. Golden Earring – Back Home
9. AC/DC – Burnin’ Alive
10. Metallica – Phantom Lord

So there you have it. The first 10 songs that played today on my iPod.

• Day 14- A picture of you and your family

Well, there’s always someone missing from photos and I keep getting told off for posting pics with my partner in them. hehe.. opps.. but here’s one of me and the kids at North Head. Seriously need to get into the habit of just pulling the camera out and taking more photos.

• Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Well, I must be lucky. I can’t think of anyone who has hurt me. I think this entry is going to be a fail for me.

Although, I can’t complain really. I like not having people around me that hurt me in any way, shape or form. If I did, I sure as hell wouldn’t have them around for long afterwards, maybe just long enough to dig my stiletto heel in to cause some pain in return. hahaha

• Day 12- How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

Well, I found out about Blogger after I found WordPress. So needless to say. I don’t and never will use blogger. I stumbled across WordPress in late 2008 while looking for a replacement blogging plugin for the e107 CMS I was using.

I wasn’t happy with e107 and upon further investigation on WordPress.com and having setup an account there I found it too limited to what I wanted to do. I found WordPress.org. Woohoo, A self hosted WordPress installation sounded like me. So I setup a development site and played with it.

I use WordPress for both business and personal sites as it gives me the flexibility to do pretty much everything I need it to.

• Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends

You what? You want another picture of me and friends.. Yeah, ok then. I’ll see what I can do, considering cameras don’t tend to be out much and I actively avoid being in front of them.

Now I know why I avoid being in front of the camera. haha..

• Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

Ok, my playlist for music is varied and I don’t really have specific songs I listen to when I’m in any one particular mood. Although I tend to focus on genres.

When I’m happy, I play anything from easy listening through to metal. To give you an idea though, it can range from Areosmith, AC/DC, The Animals, The B52’s, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Bangles, Queen, Boney M, Bon Jovi, Dire Straits, Def Leppard, The Eagles, Men at Work, Cyndi Lauper. Led Zeppelin. The list goes one..

Pretty much the same for when I’m Sad or Bored . I just load up RadioDJ and put it into Auto DJ mode and let the system select tracks.

If I’m mad, I tend to limit the playlist to the heavier stuff, 8 Foot Sativa, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth

When I’m hyped, it’s pretty much the same as when I’m happy. I guess there would be a bit more Joe Satriani, Guns ‘n Roses, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Queen, AC/DC, Avril Lavigne, Bloodhound Gang etc in there.

I really don’t take to much time creating customised playlists. I like a variety of artists no matter what mood I’m in, and generally really can’t be f’d picking individual tracks out of the list.
