Who Am I?

I'm quizzical smiley - 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 smiley - 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. smiley - boing (Don't tell anyone.)

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

Who Are You?
