Week 3 - Detective work, an exercise

1.  My favourite childhood toy was maybe Paddington, or one of my other bears... Husso... other than that Lego I guess, building forts/houses from lego
2. My favourite childhood game was hide and seek
3. The best movie I saw as a kid was hands down, The Princess Bride, though the Star Wars trilogy and Gremlins are pretty close... also, Labyrinth was mean and the Dark Crystal I loved those two without really understanding them (esp The Dark Crystal)... Milo and Otis has always had a special place as it was the first movie we saw as a family at Downtown.
4. I don't do it much but I enjoy going to the movies, playing soccer, kicking a ball, throwing a ball, hitting a ball in general... getting into nature, surfing, going to the beach, going to cafes...
5. If I could lighten up a little, I'd let myself talk to girls more... just be silly, a bit like Yas, a bit like Serge...
6. If I weren't too late I'd meditate every single day, and sometimes oftener...
7. My favourite musical instrument is my instrument, the tenor saxophone... then the piano, which I would love to play and have in my home
8. The amount of money I spend on treating myself to entertainment each month is very little... does drinking money count? If yes, then averaging it over a few months - maybe a few hundred... but then, other than that. None. Including Melbourne, which is kinda my entertainment... hmmm, not sure. Not much is the answer. I don't go to the movies. I never rent movies. I never buy music. Last music I bought? Maybe Dear Science... wow.
9. If I weren't so stingy with my artist, I'd buy him an iMac and an iPad and an iPhone... what an Applefag. Still it is my heritage though. Also, iPad I want for writing only. iMac is because I want a dedicated desktop. iPhone - the camera.
10. Taking time out for myself is I guess stumbling... or watching Curb, or some other series... time ill spent in my opinion...
11. I am afraid that if I start dreaming I will see how great and powerful I really am and not just buy into the "I have so much potential bullshit"
12. I secretly enjoy reading SF.... philosophy, I dunno. That is what I like. It isn't a secret per se though
13. If I had had a perfect childhood I'd have grown up to be ME! my childhood was incredible. Truly amazing... though, to think back 10 years - I was 17, finishing high school - maybe engineering? maybe a doctor - arguably one of those two.
14. If it didn't sound so crazy I'd write or make a TV series with my friends, or caricatures of them in it... Cairns, Yas...
15. My parents think artists are visionaries - direct quote from Hux re: Blake... how awesome is my Dad!
16. My God thinks artists are visionaries, way-showers.... the doorway to the infinite, the waker-upperers...
17. What makes me feel weird about this recovery is the fact I am kind of leading a double life... one here as a budding sustainability/behaviour change consultant and specialist and Masters student... and one as a talented breakaway novelist/poet/essayist/short story writer... I sometimes think in a very either/or way (perhaps a classic 10 thing - all or nothing)....so it is a little confusing at times
18. Learning to trust myself is probably about as tricky for me as being disciplined at the moment, and it really ties in to the whole self-love, self-acceptance, self-sufficiency of the heart thing -  it is essential in the journey towards integration then enlightenment after that.
19. My most cheer-me-up music is interesting as I often have this dilemma at about Maylands... so I would say maybe Hot Chip, or LCD Soundsystem, on my iPod... at work - maybe Kyp's cover of This must be the place, or some Washed Out.
20. My favourite way to dress is black jeans, boots, tshirt, brown jacket. bang
