blood type
The Japanese never cease to amaze and amuse me. Until now, all I knew about blood type was that I was an O (I learnt that as a kid, in a hospital, they informed me that being an O, I could give my blood to anyone but receive only from another O and boy, did I feel cheated, I still remember it, :p . I hurried to inform them that I would NOT give them blood just because it was the universal type. I was a paranoid child.. ).
Then I heard about the disputed theory about blood types and diet. And how I was supposed to survive on meat, nuts and berries... Which is exactly what I happen to do (well, if you forget the cheese and all the eggs, but nobody is perfect.) I liked that theory, now I can eat all the meat I want with a good conscience AND I lose weight ;)
but, there is more ! Back to the japanese who have this extravagant notion that blood type and personalities are somehow related. It seems like some kind of national obsession. Very amusing but total bullshit if you ask me.. According to them, I would make a wonderful baseball-player.. (I wont even comment on that) or a gambler !? (I dont even play the lottery) or.. brace yourself (I can already picture people who know me, laughing their ass off...) : BANKER ! Banker indeed.... Seems like I do not meet my blood type expectations. I am a failure :(
fun to read anyway, let me know if you feel that it matches (or not) :

and totally off topic, here is Fluff in the foreground trying to impress Minnie in the flower pot, who is obviously not one bit impressed. Fluff must be some neighbours cat but he is more or less living here these days and in addition the poor thing is chronically horny, judging by the sounds he makes. Spring is here. :)
