73 Things About Me
Contents
1. What is your usual Starbucks order?
I normally buy Costa, but I would say seasonal drinks are my goto. Especially ginger or cinnamon lattes. They are amazing.
2. What does your workstation look like right now?
This is what my home desk looks like. I take the red mechanical keyboard to work with me because it’s so good.
3. All time favourite food?
It used to be steak and chips, but since going vegan, I’ve gone for Mousakka Bowls, it’s just so tasty. ?
I don’t read a lot a lot of fictional books and I’ve gotten into reading a lot of self-help books. Tim Ferriss has been great, as well as Dale Carnegie and Anthony Robbins are a few of my faves.
5. What do you think of open relationships?
If that’s what someone wants, and it works, then why not? However, I wouldn’t personally go for something like this, and believe I have found my “one”. We are married (3 years), and I wouldn’t change a thing.
6. What is your favourite video game?
I play so many games. However, my all-time favourite would be the Batman Arkham series. Mainly the first two, but Knight is pretty good. BoTW is also a great game, and it blew my mind. I’m also always jumping onto Destiny 2 whenever there are new updates.
7. Guilty pleasure treat?
Doughnuts, uuuuugggghhh I love doughnuts. I can literally eat a whole pack in one sitting. 😂
8. Favourite movie?
Batman the Dark Knight trilogy (of course). Also, I have to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and Die Hard during the Christmas period.
9. Favourite book?
Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss has so many great golden nuggets. The Chimp Paradox because it helped me understand my mind.
10. Twitter or Instagram?
Twitter, because I’ve made so many great connections. Instagram is still alien to me. I keep going back to it and retrying but quickly get bored.
11. Desktop or laptop?
Desktop, there’s no competition in my mind. Yes, a laptop is portable, but a desktop has MORE POWER!

Believe in yourself.
13. What project are you working on right now?
Moving my blog from VueJS to WordPress (I’m back).

16. Dream job?
To get paid and not have to work. 😂
If I do have to work, then I would love to be able to write, film and make websites that are all my own projects, while being funded for them. Anything that can help others, and the environment.

Yes, and I have found so much love for CrossFit. I honestly had no idea what it was until I saw people flipping some tyres, and thinking… “I want to do what they’re doing”. I’m still yet to flip a tyre though.

Still being in work when so many people are losing their jobs right now.

Pie, definitely pie.
