I now feel myself compelled to tell you all six strange facts about myself:
1) I'm actually in love with my guitar.
2) I got so scared by a TV interperetation of 'The Snow Spider' that for the next two years, i wouldn't sleep without my ears and lips under the covers, even in the middle of Summer. There's a bit when they tell about this angry dude who cut off the ears lips and eye-lids of a troop of white horses. Whitbread Childrens award my foot, freaking scary.
3)My parents never knew i beleived in the Easter bunny, so they never left eggs lying around. Every year i'd cry because i thought i'd done something bad. I spent the whole week being extra good and lovley, but my teacher shouted at me once for something really minor, i thought that was what blew it. I lay in bed crying.
4)The hand writing style i have now was intentionally developed for the perpose of writing letters to a friend as two different characters, because we had a story going, now i can't shake it.
5) Similarly, the way i hold my pen (between first and second fingers) came about when i was spending the week with the physicality of a hobbit. Yeah, so i'm cool, deal with it.
6) I spent four days living off of diet pepsi and strawberry mountain dew that was left in the fridge for some convicts who were hired to work clearing the area around the cabin my uncle built in the desert. The sugar high was intense, i climbed a mountain alone and slid all the way down with sticks like ski-poles on a mini-avalanche of dust and fragments of granite in a race aginst the rain and potential mudslide. Jimmy and i slept in a tent by the oasis and were visited my a mountain lion.
this is about as impressive as i get.
