there was a meme floating around awhile ago
about asking me five questions
I resisted it at the time
but I think I need some outside help
figuring out how to down load my head

so if you could post five questions
I shall answer them all honestly
my only request is that you post anon
that way I just answer the question not the person.

Who are you?
What do you want from your life?
Where are you?
Where do you want to be?
What makes you happy?

Right then we’ll start with some easy ones, not!

Who are you?

Name - Joanne Emer Cross, Tinkerbell to my mother, ook to an ex, streak to KAOS, jo to most
CV- admin services, £16k pa, not permanent,
Academic – BA in art history, dip grad, 2/3rds OU degree
Random – started a hand to hand combat course, can’t hold a tune, degrading eyesight, own a large rabbit stuffed toy called mouse
A mosaic of how I see myself and how other see me
I am capable of love, friendship, self-loathing, hatered and thought



What do you want from your life?

To be more comfortable in my own skin
Since I left home I haven’t had the same job, haircut, address for more than two years
to stand on my own two feet, challenged and supported
to realise which boundaries protect me and which hold me back
to have more time
have one get out of jail free card a year.
to see more easily what others see in me
Patience, wisdom (but I have more of those than a few years ago)
To vist Madrid, Berlin, Dublin and travel more
Not to be as complacent about the world and my place in it
To do some writing.



Where are you?

30, Edinburgh, living with boyfriend, having a social life
Not thinking much, but could be worse
Angry for some reason
Wondering what I’m doing with my life
Yes I more than suspect those are connected


Where do you want to be?

28, Edinburgh, living with boyfriend in a slightly stronger relationship, having a slightly less emotionally fraught social life
With a teleport device so I could nip back to KAOS for the occasional lunch hour
To feel that I wasn’t about to lose it all, simply because I’m me
To work harder at work.
To lose a stone in weight (not a rock)



What makes you happy?
Snuggles from Gamer
Good Sex
Payday
Driving in my car
80’s rock music
Alcohol
Friends
A good job,
The occasional random beauty of the world (I should note those more often)

Who do you miss most?

What are you doing?

When were you happiest?

Where would you go, if you could travel only once more?

Why?

Who do you miss most?
Out of all the people absent form my life, I have to say no one person in particular comes to mind. I have a litany of names and one idea
The idea of who I miss is a close female friend who I’ve known since kindie day one and even know we email once a month or so. The energy and commitment to that kind of relationship have always scared me somewhat.

What are you doing?
Typing the answers into Kallisti (gamers laptop) before I go to work for the day.
Might go walking round round arthurs seat again tonight, by myself
Looking forward to the 5- 12, my days off
Other than that for the first time in my life I have no idea what I’m working towards, there is no must go back to Nz, have kids etc goal that I can set. So I don’t know what I’m doing, hence part of the reason for the thrashing. I’m waiting for gamer and its pissing me off that I have not as much control over what happens next. Hence the recent trying to find other people to do.

When were you happiest?
Two years ago, it doesn’t actually matter when you ask me that. I was always happiest two years ago, no matter how miserable I was at the time. The past is always a brighter country.

Where would you go, if you could travel only once more?
Back to NZ.
If you mean one last trip before I go back I would go to Madrid to see the Prado and the bullfights if it was summer and St Petersburg for the Hermitage and to see a bit of Russia if it was winter.

Why?
Because I haven’t been to these places yet and have major art collections I haven’t seen yet in countries I have only visited once or never. I think Italy has been seen enough not to warrant it being my last trip ever.
Or I could be really corny and say ‘to me’, but that would be really corny
