When the sweetest, prettiest and craftiest Gnome in the world calls, a girl answers. Giao (affectionately known as Gnome G) has tagged me. Hence the title of today’s post. I’m “it”, dudes; and it sure feels good. 😛

*5*
(five, cinco, cinq, 五)

Five minutes to yourself: I’d take out my jewellery-making stash and stare at it all lovingly. With only five minutes, I’d probably only be able to brainstorm projects and not actually get anything made.

Five bucks to spend right now: I would like very much to buy a fashion magazine as I have been fantasizing about this for days. However, that extra reading material would distract me from my studying and I have enough trouble with flickr and blogs. So I would just get a really fantastic mug of coffee (preferably a rich peaberry blend) and some yummy biscotti in a cute, cosy café. I’ve been making my own coffee at home with the cafetiera I brought back from Tenerife years ago but since I’m using some generic dark roast it is not really espresso. So I’ve been drinking decent sized mugs of American strength coffee but that hasn’t killed the craving to hit a really nice coffee shop. Too bad there are none in my neighbourhood.

Five items in your house you could part with, right now, that you hadn’t thought of already: Oh my, there is so much! I am a horrible packrat. Let’s see…old textbooks and notes from high school, old cosmetics, my MD player/recorder that I spent a FORTUNE on in Akihabara 6 years ago, other ancient portable music players (yes, I still have a cassette Walkman somewhere), my childhood sticker albums (don’t laugh.)

Five items you absolutely, positively could not part with in your house: My laptop, my phone, my camera, school crap (right now) and my fabulous handbag collection (okay, that’s way more than one item but you have to understand that I just spent several minutes thinking: “Handbags or jewellery?” And seriously, I even thought that jewellery would have to include my crafting stash! I’m awful.)

Five words you love: There are too many. I am an indecisive bugger but I’m too tired to fight with myself tonight. Here are a random bunch: luscious, scrumptious, loquacious (huh, I guess I like words that end in ious), tautological, ming(s/ing)

Five folks I’m tagging: I haven’t figured that part out yet. I don’t know if these people will do a meme. *shrug* Play along if you’re in the mood for a little mindless fun. I won’t hold it against you if you don’t. I’m tagging Gino, Akio, Reese, Andrea, Andrew.

Thank you to all those who left encouraging comments yesterday. I deeply appreciate them. Really. Merci!

For that, you get some random photos from Macau:

Okay, now here’s the requisite whining. I am tired. I squandered sweet, sweet study time today because of that fatigue. I’m going to redeem myself tomorrow. I am the cramming queen, y’all! Here me roar!

In initially annoying, but overwhelmingly exciting news, I learnt today that I start work on Wednesday, May 3rd and not Monday, May 1st as initially planned. There was a huge mix-up at the clinic and some subsequent e-mail communication problems that had left me in the dark about the possibility of visiting my honeybunches earlier than late May. I’m going to have to take an awful Greyhound night bus to get to Boston on Friday the 28th, but it will be worth it. I can’t wait!

Now I get to see Dave a twice in May! It’s going to cost an arm and a leg but by the end of May I’ll have a paycheque or two to cover my massive Visa bill! Life is sweet when you can have fun and keep a balanced budget.

Another exciting thing is the tagged Andrea aka AMG, Dre, the K-rot, Mari-chan, Mariko and other goodness is back in Scarlem. She has made the trek from from Edinburgh, Scotland to visit friends and family for one week. Since I fall into the former category, I will be shuffling my study schedule to dine and squeal with my precious friend. I feel like I will be roped into doing something very Asian like eat sushi and drink bubble tea since she doesn’t get to feed those cravings in the land o’ haggis. I mean, she doesn’t get to do that kind of stuff without coming across as a Wapanese freak. What is up with people who cannot identify mixies/hapas? Is it like gaydar? Some have it and some don’t? Seriously. I know that the girl has auburn hair, but are you blind?! Anyway.

The ‘It’ girl needs her beauty sleep.
