Give Me Five!

I am slightly bored (again) and decided to do a slightly tedious blog post (again) that I slightly ripped off someone else (again). Here are some Top Fives for you.

Top Five Qualities In The Male Species
1. Sense of humour - because anyone who doesn't have one should not be within a fifty-metre radius of me.
2. Inner-nerd - by which I mean full and total appreciation of all or a combination of the following: film trivia, bad cop shows, travel, little-known bands, history, wittiness, writing and mildly embarrassing obsessions. But especially film trivia.
3. Chattiness - because quiet people scare me.
4. Humility - because arrogance reminds me of Piers Morgan, and there's just no need for that.
5. Tolerance - because one of us needs to be able to deal with the following: small children, Jehovah's Witnesses, technology, smug people and people who phone up trying to flog you stuff.

Top Five Indulgences
1. Amazon - it's not an interest. It's an addiction. And it's really, really bad for my bank account.
2. Heinz spaghetti on toast - don't ask why, but a bad day can be solved with a can of spaghetti and toast.
3. Rubbish films - by which I mean those cheesy rom-coms that are good for nothing but nights in with chocolate and misery.
4. Paperchase - pretty, useful and with the truly unique ability to make history revision more interesting. Shame about the price tags.
5. Uniball ink pens - it makes my writing look pretty. And it's not THAT weird. Is it?

Top Five Fears
1. Sharks - because they will eat me.
2. The ocean - because it is full of the sharks that will eat me.
3. Wasps - I am one of those people who sees a wasp, leaps up and runs around shrieking until it targets someone else. As such, I am one of those people who is consistently stalked by wasps.
4. Quiet people - they make me uncomfortable, but they're so timid and nice-seeming that you can't even work up enough animosity to dislike them. It's very annoying.
5. My mother - a healthy respect of your parent is natural and necessary. Especially when they're as scary as mine.

Top Five Guilty Crushes
1. Gene Hunt - something about the manliness.
2. Dr House - I'm not alone with this one, and it's similar to Gene Hunt...
3. Liam Neeson - I know he's old enough to be my grandfather, but the man is 6'4'' and has a voice that could make angels weep.
4. Paul Bettany - ESPECIALLY in A Knight's Tale. And not (just) because he's naked.
5. Russell Howard - despite the fact I'm 99% sure he's shorter than me, he has a lazy eye and an occasionally immature sense of humour, I will one day marry him.

Top Five Methods of Procrastination
1. Writing A Blog - thus.
2. Television Catch-Up - my temporary and somewhat embarrassing addiction to One Tree Hill was born of a deep, DEEP desire to avoid GCSE revision.
3. YouTube - encourager of cyber-stalking, guilty crushes, time-wasting and brain-numbing. Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.
4. Twitter/Facebook - say no more.
5. Cups of tea - at the moment (two days before my exams start) I'm up to about fourteen cups a day. At this very moment, I'm drinking my fifteenth.

There you go. Doesn't your life now feel just a LITTLE more exciting?
