The road less travelled...

I hate ketchup :-)

oh. And I like going out in the early morning to buy random things. Like biscuits :-)

I believe that anything can be put in a sandwich, and the magic properties of bread will make it taste good. Nine times out of ten I'm right.

I'm allergic to bananas and liquorice.

And it's currently 5.19am, and I've been in the office for more than eight hours. Which I just had to count up on my fingers, which is how caffeine-addled I am.

I like office supplies. No, actually, I really DO like office supplies. Particularly pens/paper. I think it comes from writing, but there's nothing like buying a new pad of paper and a new pen and starting something fun.

My favourite plant is lavender. And I am also rather partial to office supplies. And old fashioned hardware shops which sell things you didn't know you needed.

I don't drink tea or coffee

I'm moving in two weeks, I only heard yesterday, and therefore my room is a tip - how on earth I'm going to do this in two weeks I don't know!!!

I cycle about 6½ miles to work every day. Except when I'm feeling lazy like today and take the bus.

I am a science fiction geek and I want to get an sf novel published :-)

I once got stuck in a cattle grid.

I've been knitting a pink jumper for my daughter for nearly 2 years!

I eat toast upside down.

And I absolutely hate and refuse to eat lasagne, donuts and jellybeans. So there :D

Many of the places I wrote about in the VS are real.

Total Eclipse: Corry, PA is real.

Insurrection: Olean, NY is real.

Crossroads: The Comfort Inn in Bradford, PA; the crossroads of Rt. 219 and Rt. 6; the town of Kane, PA; the Kane Motel; and Evergreen Park (in Kane) are all real.


Oh, and my favorite food in the world is still meatballs & dumplings with brown gravy the way my mother makes it.

I absolutely love the colour yellow. I also can both, read and write Ogham, but do not speak a word of Irish, so that's just about the most useless skill ever. ;)

i love camping. i have been to summer camp 14 years out of the last 15. ive worked worked 4 of those years and ive been to 3 different camps.

:)

I detest whipped cream on my coffee/hot chocolate/anything from Starbucks and other such places. I also happen to eat Cool-Whip straight from the tub.

I've also discovered that, when done properly, cream cheese and Cool-Whip are a tasty combination on top of strawberry Jell-o.

I prefer the low-cal "lite" fraps from Starbucks than the normal ones. It feels a bit less like swallowing sludge (Tasty sludge, but sludge nonetheless!).

Look! We have the same icon! ;)

*tries to think of something you don't know about me*

Well, you know, apart from those deep dark secrets I've been keeping from you for the entirety of our... 13?... year friendship!

Umm, this is really difficult.

I've found a couple of really good second-hand bookstores in Sydney, and also a terrific cross-stitch store within half a block of my office. How's that? *g*

I play the xylophone and my cat has bald ears. (the two are not connected.)

I hate bananas...
