Quizzical's Lair

Greetings, Unknown Visitor!
Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Who Am I?

I'm quizzical huh . I was born at a very young age, survived a rambunctious and somewhat misspent childhood, and arrived, despite my best efforts, at adulthood. Random likes, dislikes and observations:

  • One is never too old to have a happy childhood.
  • If I were stuck on a desert island, I would hope to have a copies of Tao Te Ching and Good Omens (T. Pratchett and N. Gaiman). And the complete works of J. S. Bach. And food. Food would be good.
  • Actually, if I were stuck on a desert island, what I would most like to have is a boat.
  • 'I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.' - Woody Allen
  • I love birds.
  • Woman does not live by chocolate alone, but some of us sure try.
  • One can never have too many books.
  • Favourite sport: figure skating.
  • Favourite activity: curling up in a comfy chair with a good book, a pot of tea, and my pet cockatiel on my shoulder (not that I get much reading done with the bird demanding my attention).
  • Current reading: everything by Robert Rankin.
  • I'm a blonde. boing (Don't tell anyone.)

In addition to being a Sub-editor, I write a column for thepost called 'Running with Scissors' and produce a few poems and cartoons from time to time.

Who Are You?

We just love meeting new people! You can leave a message here (blonde jokes are fine):

    Journal Entries


    This is where any Journal Entries would appear, if this Researcher had made any. Unfortunately they haven't managed to write anything, which is a shame because their Journal is where they could tell everyone what they've been up to. Is your Journal empty too? If so, this is how it'll appear to other Researchers who visit your Personal Space.
