"5 things about you"

Okay, this is prompted by The GingerLord's topic about us not really knowing anyone else. You must tell us 5 things about yourself, little idiosyncracies, imperfections, weird stuff that we don't know. I'll go first:

1. I am unable to close Taxi doors properly. I have a thing where I always either slam it too hard and get a dodgy look from the driver, or waft it closed too softly, then I have to go back and close it properly. Taxi drivers don't like me.

2. I am also unable to put change back in my wallet properly. Whenever I finish a transaction with cash, I always stand at the front of the queue trying to put both the notes and the change in the right sections, and always hold up the next person. Either that, or I walk off holding my wallet, the notes, the change and the product I've just bought all in one hand. Mix this with a Taxi ride for optimum panic.

3. Sometimes I find smiling in a mirror for a few minutes actually does make you feel better. Even if you do look mental.

4. I eat approx. 1 bag of Prawn Cocktail crisps a day. In fact, I'm eating one now. Because I'm on my lunch, which is why I'm writing this.

5. I can't fall asleep without a cushion between my knees, or without rubbing my feet together like some insane giant grasshopper.

There you are, now you know a little more about me. Your turn.

I used to do that as well, i also had to slowly put my change into my pocket to make sure it didnt fall out, and i would have my hand clamped about it to make sure i didnt lose any.

I have exactly the same problem. Maybe it's a medical disorder?

I have resorted to using a credit card wallet and just leaving my change jangling in my pocket, much in the style of an old man.

*Walks into newsagent, fumbles in pocket, pulls out a large quantity of coins and carefully counts out the correct change*

*Gets back into ambulance and returns to oap home*

Never!

And what -are- you doing, giving me your wings? I am not hiding them for you. And no, it is not normal for male fairies to like wearing eye-liner, because I didn't answer that question when you asked me it before..sorry.

Muahahaha.

Flouncy Flouncy.

Bouncy Bouncy.

My head hurts, I may be seeing things... Fairy dust. Blinky Blinky.

Right now, thats enough of that. Heh :)

*watches Stryke flounce around*

Oh...so you do have purple flowery fairy wings? Dear me.. And you denied it..

When you lose your freckles, all the fairy magic will vanish. You do realise that? And you won't be able to keep people under your spell...

*grins*

Nuh, Nuh. Your freckles are lovely! I demand that you do everything you can to keep them, or give them to me. Pwease?

Anyway... Now I have the time to do this..

1) I love kids :) Not sure why that point came into my head first, but never mind. I am the oldest child in my whole family, so when my family meets up I have to look afer...Jo, Kim, Robert, Andrew, Kiran, Hannah, my stupid little sister who is 12 but still needs looking after, Matthew, oh, and my Uncle Paul :) They are so sweet (not including Paul, he's just a monkey) Also, sometimes we have some other little dudes visiting like..Kurt, Ryan, Bonnie and Pheobe :) So many. They jump on me, and kiss me and hug me and awww. Excuse me while I go get myself a baby.. :)

2) Hmmm. I would like to take up photography. I don't know why, but I am always very very concious about the perspective and what is included in my photos before I take them, which means that I take forever to actually use up a film. I get very disappointed if my holiday snaps don't come out well. I also have an obsession with never taking photos of my family or friends, just scenary. People spoil photos :)

3) I don't have any knowledge of films or games.. I don't game, I don't have a DVD player or a VCR... Quite funny really... I blame Stryke and Grix, and all the little fishes who write addictive topics, for me still being here :)

4) I used to be really really afraid of fish. Don't laugh. I don't mean like goldfish, or tiny things... It's just, when I was about 2 or 3 I went to London Zoo with my Mum and we went in the Aquarium. I stood in the middle of place and screamed my head off for about half an hour, I refused to move because I was so scared.. Ever since, Aquariums have made me really uneasy, until I was brave enough to go into one with my Dad a couple of years ago. They still make me feel..donno..weird, but I don't break down in tears when in one any more. I don't know what it was that triggered off the phobia(if that's what you want to call it) I still don't know why it makes me uneasy. Just one of those things..

5) Ooh, it's number 5 already :) The Carnival is in my town soon. I have been invited to dance around on a float for my local Operatics Society (you know? The topic "Anything Goes" was about that..) wearing scary costumes for a whole day. If I do take part in it, I want to wear my Chinese costume, because it's the only one that isn't a dress :) I really don't want to wear a blue floral dress whilst dancing on a truck. Actually, I do have a "Farmer" costume from Oklahoma..but..the hat doesn't suit me :)
The Carnival is usually really great fun, water pistols and cream pie throwing. It's all very bouncy. Only comes around every 4 years though.. It is also in the middle weekend of my work experience...hmm. I should go ask if I can take part.

Mmm. So there's me :) Kind of :)

1. When I'm singing a tune in my head I move my jaw from side to side somy teeth click in time with the music.

2. I can get one of both of my feet behind my head and can wrap my left arm around the back of my head, under my chin to touch my left ear ... the advantages of having muscular dystrophy!

3. I've been knocked out at least 4 times - 3 times when I was drunk or otherwise intoxicated and it didn't hurt, and once when perfectly sober and my head ached for hours.

4. I'm an uncle three times over and a godfather once. I became a godfather when I was 14 and my dad called me Marlon (Brando) for months.

5. Two girls have asked me to marry them and I said "No" both times.
