This Is...What I'm Surprised I Like

When Victoria from Earl & Cookie declared this week to be the This is what I'm surprised I like week, well I scratched my head.

  • I'd like to like fish - but I'm not a huge fan
  • I'd like to like tofu - but it tastes like someone chewed it up already for me
  • I'd like to say I like Iron Maiden - but you know, I just don't dig all that metal

Perplexed, I'm hitting straight from the heart. I'm surprised I like Nick Cave. I know, I know, everyone loves a bit of Nick in the morning, noon and night, but me, well I've always fought it. Fought it with a vengeance.

But I have to say, when Matt requested this song as the song to walk out of the church as a married couple to - well it wooed me. I'm still not a hardcore Nick Cave fan, but I'm coming around.


Thanks to Victoria for an ace theme, and thanks as ever to Angela at Three Buttons for bringing This Is into our bloggy lives. Woop woop!

And I am now on a bent to check out pineapple lumps. I've never seen them before but they sound ACE!

Loving your bin series, reminds me of my mother and my self, nothing is better then a good skip ( something DH is VERY slowly coming to terms with!).
I like tofu in a choc pudding sort of thing ( I found the recipie once online a million years ago, it has a different taste a bit nutty, and as for pineapple lumps - one word - addictive!!!! if you can wrestle them of children and husbands that is!

Oh he is a good boy - Gotta love a sentimental song on your wedding day. My first husband chose one from the Top Gun soundtrack in all it's bad 80's glory, I should of known from then I was in trouble.
