Forgive me, Caroline, for I have sinned.

I have failed to adhere to commandments 1, 2 and 7. Please accept these three tributes as my offering of repentance.
(chomp).

Er... that third one was a sacrament.

Amen.

P.S. Am I right in thinking you're a keeper of lizards?

1,2 and 7. have another bar ofand say 5 hail carolines!

not lizards, although i do find them adorable, especially beardeds, i do have a pet corn snake called aero, as well as the rats and hamsters i am official keeper of. the freezer keeps the frozen.

Quite a menagerie. Aren't the rodents yours?

And I've just emptied two bags of Maltesers down my neck, which should cover my sins, including the next couple I perpetrate.

(Amen.)

current holy menagerie

kanga, a little rat
piglet, a slightly bigger rat
bludger, a big and hairy hamster
quaffle, a small and ball like dwarf hamster
aero, a likkle(3 and a half foot long)corn snake

Quaffle! I love it. Is that made up, or does it come from somewhere?

both quaffle and bludger are harry potter related.

the main wizarding sport is quidditch(a cross between allout war and baketball played on broomsticks), which uses 3 types of balls. bludgers(2), made of iron and about 8 inches across. these zoom round the pitch on their own and try to knock players off their brooms. quaffles(1), this is the scoring ball worth 10 points through a hoop. about 10 inches across and made of leather. the last ball is the golden snitch which is worth 150 points and when it is caught the game is over. very small and fast.

kanga and piglet are winnie the pooh related and aero is short for aerosmith.

I really should've recognised the name, what with having read the first three HP books.

Nice to see that you have such discerning literary tastes.

I've got a couple of tropical fish called Sideshow Bob and Wensleydale. You've probably seen mention of my other pets on my page. The snails are all called Hieronymus.
