100 Things
Updated periodically - and to be completed.
1. I recently cut my own hair off at shoulder length.
2. I don't like eating olives - they're so salty.
3. I have lots of pot plants, dotted around the outside of the house. I can't seem to keep them alive inside, because we draw the curtains when we're out.
4. If I spend any time in the sun, the freckles on my face become much darker.
5. I read tarot cards, and have one gorgeous gold-edged set that I use regularly.
6. In the beginning of 2007, I'll be admitted as a solicitor. That seems like a very long time away.
7. I love baking - cakes, muffins, slices - it's probably my favourite form of cooking.
8. I can sing the South African national anthem.
9. I visited Bali when I was 13 - it's the only time I've been overseas.
10. I grew up in the country, near the Daintree rainforest.
11. I'm an environmentalist.
12. I love and adore my book collection, and am a voracious reader. Going to the library and buying new books are two of my greatest thrills.
13. I'm not a tidy person, much as I hate to admit it. Clutter just builds up around me.
14. I don't smoke, take drugs, drink coffee or softdrinks. (Well, I occasionally drink coffee and softdrinks, but only if there's nothing else to be had.)
15. Not because of any particular high principles, but because I don't enjoy any of them.
16. I'm therefore quite sensitive to caffeine - it gives me an enormous rush.
17. I constantly wear my watch - I hate not knowing what the time is. I know I should probably let go of the strictures of time, and all that, but then I'd probably miss the train.
18. I feel guilty when I eat chicken.
19. I always buy free range eggs.
20. I take iron tablets - not daily, because I'm incapable of remembering to do so, but fairly regularly.
21. Why do I remember to take my pill every day, but not my iron tablets?
22. West and I have several pets - Chloe, the elderly guinea pig (mine), Bird the bird of uncertain gender (his), and Fish the fish (his).
23. I love making lists. Lists make me excited about life.
24. I'm an optimist - a happy, joyful, very irritating optimist.
25. I always have good intentions about exercising and keeping fit.
26. I have a dreadful weakness for sweet things - gorgeous Lindt chocolate, icecream, sour gummi worms, marshmallows and many others.
27. I'm a morning person - I don't like staying up late.
28. And partly because of that, I'm not really a party person either. I don't go clubbing - I don't see the point in going out with people if you can't talk to them.
29. I recently re-tuned my violin which I hadn't played in four or five years. And I sound terrible, but I'm having enormous fun playing a little every day.
30. One day, I would like to be in a musical. Partly because it would be so much fun, and partly because the thought scares the crap out of me.
31. I love Monty Python's craziness - the Holy Grail is one of my favourite movies.
