Memes -- baaaaa
Bugger. eleniangel went and tagged me for those memes going around. I'm not going to time myself because nyah! and because I'm busy downloading Winnie the Pooh images which I'm not going to turn into a Silly Old Time Lord or a Time Lord Of Little Brain at all. Really.
Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts.
1. I can't count the number of times I've seen the original Star Wars films, but it took me until the 1997 re-releases to watch any of them all the way through without hiding under the seat -- and I still hid during TESB and RotJ.
2. I constantly write LJ posts in my head. Constantly.
3. My first ever piece of fanfiction was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thing when I was in grade one or two.
4. I'm nearly 24 and I still can't drive.
5. I'm trying to cut the sugar out of my coffee and I don't like it.
6. I'm typing this into notepad because I hate it when LJ eats my posts.
7. I have a large collection of Star Trek: The Next Generation figurines, books, and micro machines.
8. I'm horrible at replying to emails.
9. I'm as stubborn as all hell.
10. I've never had a cavity.
11. I followed the Fitzroy Lions football team even when they hadn't won a game for years, and no one would believe me.
12. So I consider the Brisbane Lions winning for so long a just reward, even if it means I have to support a non-Victorian team.
13. I find all the Australians complaining about the "whinging Poms" winning in the cricket incredibly amusing.
14. I'm a member of Greenpeace.

16. I get tempted to change the channel as soon as John Howard's face appears.
17. I have an incredibly messy room.
18. The people at my local newsagents know me as soon as I walk in for my Empire, and the people at the local DVD/CD store know my tastes better than I do.
19. I know everyone at my local libraries by name, as they know me.
20. I've totally run out of ideas.
idiosyncrasy
