1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6!
About a million years ago Cathy tagged me; apparently this means I have to list six weird facts about myself.
Expectations are going down. A few years ago I was required to write one hundred facts about myself. I could just extract six of them, but it feels like cheating. I was also interested to note that at least 10 of them are now out of date. I wonder if I can think of six things which have come to light since then...
1. I firmly believe that if you are ill, miserable, tired, cold or otherwise down everything can be made better by miso soup.
2. I'm a taxi-dancer for a modern jive class.
3. I drive over 20,000 miles a year.
4. I have never seen a giraffe. A chance remark made to some colleagues recently revealed that I had no idea how big an adult giraffe was (I have since looked it up - it turns out they're quite tall). And yes, I have seen them on wildlife programmes - but what do they include for scale ? Other giraffes.
5. I own and am trying to learn to play an English concertina.
6. For may years I have used the wrong French phrase to ask the time. This was uncovered in slightly embarassing circumstances in a Parisian café just before Christmas.
I'm not quite sure these constitute weird facts. But I suspect anything sufficiently weird would have been a lie.
I saw this game go the rounds on LJ a few weeks back, so I figure anyone I can tag who wanted to do it has probably already done it. However, please consider yourself tagged if I'm wrong ;)
