Scotty too hottie and me. I met my husband at the "Winchester" Karaoke Bar in Lower Hutt, it was literally LOVE at first sight.

My favourite food is pumpkin, spinach and cauliflower boiled and mashed with sour cream

I own four pairs of sneakers, average prices $8 each, two pairs of jandals (flip flops) and a pair of slippers my daughter bought me for christmas.

I am obessed with the interior design of tiny spaces...

I love the sea although I am terrified of it since seeing jaws when I was a kid, although I made myself swim in it but only with my husband. I always stay on the shore side from him reasoning that if there is a great white shark Scotty will go first...he knows this and still loves me.

The first movie that scared the crap outta me was "Hush Hush sweet Charlotte with Bette David and Olivia DeHavilland, and the song still creeps me the hell out *shudder*

My first full on crush was 'Scott' from the Thunderbirds - it took me a long looooooong time to figure out he was a puppet.

When I was pregnant with my eldest daughter Megan I was addicted to Pixi caramal bars.

My son Nathan was breach and when he was born his feet came out in the taxi on the way to the hospital.

When I was pregnant with Jenna-Rose I ate Watties Baked Beans, apple sauce and pork sausages for almost every meal.

My childhood nickname is bullet, not because I was especially fast but I was bald until I was about three.

I was once a dolly bird back up singer in a band and was on TV, I hope to hell that Video tape has been completely destroyed, but I did look hot.

When my daughter was studying for her degree Ahunga Tikanga (Maori Laws and Philosophy) at Te Wananga o Raukawa. She used the library in Brooklyn because she worked in the area. One day an old pakeha man came up to her and asked what she was doing.
When she told him he said...'It's too bad your Culture is dead.'

Shocked, she replied. 'Its not dead, you just can't see it, even when you're looking straight at it.'

We live by the same lore we always have. Just the context of our lives ha...

Short Story - Tom Cat

Posted by Olivia Giles on Monday, November 25, 2013,

A fat ginger Tom Cat lumbered in through the cat door and hissed at the woman standing at the sink scrubbing pots. He hissed, calling her a filthy name that should have gotten him a good slap across the ears. Instead, she stopped what she was doing wiped her hands on a tea towel and bent down to stroke his head.

He swiped his claws up her forearm drawing blood. ‘Where’s my dinner?’ he screeched glaring at his bowl. ‘This is third night in a row I’ve had to wait. Don’t be su...

Watson-HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!

I am a 'Sherlock Holmes' Nerd. Read every story, watched every adaptation be it movies or tv.
I LOVE 'Sherlock' and can handle it all being in modern day London, which is basically what the Basil Rathbone series did in the thirties. Benedict Cumberbatch is how I see Holmes as on the page and he and Martin Freeman have magic chemistry.
If pushed I can just manage to squirm my way through Robert Downey Jr's rendition because the guy is a great actor.
But Elementary?

HELP ME

Posted by Olivia Giles on Monday, November 4, 2013,

Is anybody out there...there....there...there...
Help me...me...me...me...

Obviously I am not a bloggist, blogger or bloggerist.
I don't have the internal discipline to keep a diary.
I don't think my daily stumblings through the day coalesce in a way which is meaningful to anyone but me.
Id be bored if I had to read about my daily exploits because there are many, many, days in which I do nothing, except stare at a screen grasping about in my massive vacuum of a brain, for something to throw o...

Not good at keeping a diary, my brain is a bit too random but will have a decent go at it.
