Julie tagged me – ta, Julie!- and since I’m starting over, I thought it was a good time to answer this one again. Now, I don’t tag other people – so consider yourself free to join in or not!
7 things about me:
1. I am a complete IDIOT and will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS CROSS MY HEART PINKY SWEAR do proper weekly backups up my blog from now on.
2. I think I’m getting dumber as I get older. Seriously, my short term whoseamawhatzit is not what is used to be. I am losing stuff more often, and forgetting books I have read. Oh well, it just makes every day a whole new adventure, doesn’t it?
3. I am a complete dance tragic. Not many people know this about me. I am utterly fascinated by both the US and the brand new Aussie versions of “So You Think You Can Dance” – even though I refuse to watch ANY OTHER reality TV shows.
I can’t dance. I do not possess grace, or body awareness, or a sylph like figure. But I hugely admire anyone who can – and it doesn’t matter what style of dance. Tap, Lindy Hop, Ballroom, Contemporary – anything.
4. What was that second thing again?
5. I am secretly scared of success.
6. I love living in Toowoomba (for my life with Mr Beloved, the climate and the new friends) but I miss Canberra (for the doable drive to see my parents, the galleries and libraries, and friends.) And yet I dream of owning a house in the coldcoldcold high country of either NSW or Victoria. If we ever win the lottery, I would probably move South again.
7. I think I might have started to break through the creative drought. I’m quite pleased with the way my Dancing Beijing challenge worked out, and I actually drew in my new visual diary last night. Things are looking up.
So – there you go. Seven things about me. Please comment, I’m so lonely here at my new blog!

Hi Caity,
Well I didn’t know that you could ‘nuke’ a blog. sounds like another good reason not to have one I have enuf truble trying to keep up with reading op’s, let alone writing one myself -
Hi Glenda! With most blogging platforms (blogspot/blogger, typepad, or wordpress’s free blogs that they host) it’s REALLY REALLY difficult to nuke your blog.
My problems came about because I was messing with the underlying structure on my own domain – not something you can do on most blogs.
Normally even that would have been no problem, but I had a failed backup (probably user error, because I was doing all this when I was waaay too tired.)
So it takes a concerted effort PLUS a lot of bad decisions to nuke a blog! It seems nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool, however.
I think I shall wander off and listen to the bells tinkle on my floppy three cornered hat now….

Thanks for being a good sport Caity…. what happened to your old blog? What is this about backing up your blog? I will go and link you to your new blog right now. Thanks!

And thank you for tagging me, Julie!
In an episode of complete stupidity I was messing about with the underlying structure of my domain and managed to delete my entire blog. SOOOO dumb!
Never mind, today is a day for new beginnings.
Thanks for updating the link!

I too am obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance
-
Sooz, I may just have a teeny weeny HUUUUGE crush on Sermsah – my god that boy can DANCE!
-
…he’s also very easy on the eye! Happy Valentine’s Day! (You can say that to friends can’t you?)
-
Sue, you sure can, sweetie! Happy Valentines to you too!
(and yes, Sermsah is RATHER Scrumptious!) -
Holy Crap!! I didn’t know you could do that to a blog.
But, you’ve come a long way with WordPress, so I bet you’ll have a beautiful streamlined blog back in no time.
Take care of yourself.
The Bejing quilt is great. Loved the wee binding. Gives me heart palpitations looking at it (my binding phobia again…)
Love Annie
PS Happy Valentines to you and Mr Beloved
