8 things

I've been tagged 8-things by Aditi and Amy.

1. I happen to like Fridays more than Tuesdays. I also happen like cake more than ice-cream. I also happen to have four fingers. And a thumb. On either hand.
2. Don't let the dorky exterior fool you. I'm a superhero in disguise - I can lift small objects, jump up and down, yodel at the top of my voice and type without looking at the keyboard. Also I'm awfully cute. Really!
3. I like being at the heart of things. I love people fussing over me and I love attention. But when I don't get any, I tend to sulk and throw tantrums. Apart from other objects.
4. When I was much younger I wanted a dog for a pet. I read all about keeping dogs, stocked myself with books on pet care. But we never got a dog. The closest I got to it was when my mum got me a stuffed dog for my 14th birthday. Oh but my parents did get me a pair of love birds, a parrot, a sparrow, a tweety bird and a kitten. And a set of encyclopedias.
5. Then I grew older and wanted a girlfriend. They gifted me a computer. And the internet. So I spent my teenage years with people called janine_sells_dope, hottie_4_u, tammy1985, yukoncrazygirl, miss_broadback, weenylozar.
6. Point 5 isn't true. I didn't have an internet friend called yukoncrazygirl. Or weenylozar.
7. Then I grew still older and wanted to be a sportsman. I tried my hand at various sports. I'm not very proud of the results of that experiment.
8. I typed this while munching on a pear.
