I'm a Leo, born in the year of the snake. (August 1977).
I have an irrational hatred of the colour Green.
I am very good at convincing myself that the few green things I own aren't actually green, (they're turquise, or brown, never green.)
I've been vegetarian since I was 11.
I have 2 cats called Duke and Gonzo.
I have a scar on my shin from where I was walked into a cello spike
I'm allergic to fresh fruit, especially cherries.
I had ice skating lessons for 3 years, I got to grade 6.
I taught myself HTML because there was so little else to do at university.
My first website went online in 1995...
...it's still live on the interweb because I've forgotten the password to delete it.
...I'm not saying where it is.
I have a Guide Warrent, but haven't been involved for several years.
I can make Candy Floss.
I'm fascinated by Civil Engineering and Architecture.
The only sport I avidly follow is Cycling.
...but I'm also rather fond of Cricket.
I do like to spend summers days to sitting in the summer sunshine watching village games though.
My favourite kids book is Rebecca's World by Terry Nation.
My favourite adult book is Weaveworld by Clive Barker.
I Love Snow.
When I was younger I taught a little girl to jump... 10 years later she got a scholarship to the Royal London School of Ballet.
I have an irrational hatred of Gene Wilder.
At the age of 7 I was tested, and apparently had the reading ability of a 14 year old.
I am hopeless at remembering my times-tables.
I am also hopeless at remembering names.
If it wasn't for Porl feeding me, then I'd eat hot Weetabix with Brown Sugar for most meals.
My left foot is size 7, my right is a 7 1/2.
I hate shoe shopping.
I have to be in the right frame of mind for clothes shopping.
I can spend hours in book or art and craft shops.
My favourite computer game is "Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo".
From the age of 14 to 19 around 90% of my clothes were black.
It's very rare that I will wear black now. Instead the brighter the better.
At 18 I acheived a dream by playing a concert at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield (Where the World Snooker Championships are held.)
At 15 I played Sandy in Grease to an audience of around 4000...
I was on holiday in Spain at the time... and I was miming.
I can't straighten the little finger on my right hand.
I've traced my Family Tree back to 1600 in the village of Kilsby, Northamptonshire.
I'm reading and this thinking how boring I sound.
I'm struggling and I'm not even half way through.
I don't like writing personal information online.
I've realised that to complete this list I might have to.
I grew up in a little village in the North of Sheffield.
At 18 I moved to Ormskirk to go to University, and stayed for 9 years.
I met Porl 2 months after starting Uni, he hated me, and I didn't know why. A few weeks later we sorted out our differences and started going out.
I have a brother called Sam who's 4 1/2 years old than me.
I hate talking on the phone.
...except to my mum who I spend hours talking to.
I have a very small circle of friends who I love dearly.
I regularly contemplate the logistics of us all getting a house together. (Commune!)
It would have to be a very big house though. I'd like somewhere like here, here, or the more affordable option, here.
When I'm ill I read kids books.
I use Talkers which work over telnet. They're like IRC, but wierder.
My techie mate call me a geek for this.
My first boyfriend was called James. I was 13, and he was my friends twin brother.
I've been writing this over several days, but during this particular stint I'm watching one of my favourite films, Cabaret.
Another favourite film is The Breakfast Club.
I've a soft spot for John Hughes and 80's teen films.
I've also a soft spot for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I passed my driving test when I was 21 on my 3rd attempt, the first 2 times I failed for silly reasons (an harsh instructors) when I passed I had just 2 minor faults (which is very very good).
My first car was a grey Citreon AX GT. It was a great little boy-racer car but cost a fortune to insure.
I love boxes, mainly wooden ones, Porl has banned me from getting anymore until I've filled the ones I have.
I've decided my obsession with boxes is genetic, my brother and dad both collect them, and when we cleared out my Grandad's house we found loads, some of which I now have.
