If you could be in the Olympics (summer or winter), what event/sport would you want to do most? Why?

My obvious answer to this question would be "The science competition," which, of course, is not included in the Olympics. A pity. I do not know if there is a chess tournament, I may be passingly adequate at that since I would of course cheat and ( Read more... )

My birthday is 1st November. This year, I celebrated it for the first time in a great many years, because Isobel insisted we do so. I received presents, as well, which was very odd.
