Donna tagged me with this thing, which is to reveal ten random facts about yourself.
1. The little fingers on both my hands are bent inwards at a 45 degree angle. This runs in my family, and was one of the first things we looked for in my son. He han’t got it, to the relief of my husband, who wants to teach him to play guitar.
2. I physically can’t play the guitar myself, because of my fingers.
3. I also can’t use them to type. Despite this, I type 80 words per minute, using eight fingers.
4. When I worked as a barmaid in a pub, I used to amuse myself by making up limericks about the customers.
5. I stole my junior prom dress from the costume cupboard at my high school. (I still have it.)
6. I used to believe that maraschino cherries were a cure for menstrual cramps, and ate a jar of them once a month. They didn’t really help.
7. I always base my heroes’ looks on actors, and I always include the actors’ names somewhere in the book.
8. I have had pink hair. And purple hair. And just about every shade of red you can buy.
9. When I was a kid, I always used to get jealous of my friend Jen Sassi because she had long black hair and got to be Princess Leia and I had to be C3PO and walk funny.
10. I have owned five guinea pigs: Oscar the Grouch, Slash, Morticia, Hoodoo, and Fang.

Bollox! Just got to the end of your list and realised I’ve been tagged. Will have to think about this…

Ha — already did this when Donna tagged me.
Interesting about playing the guiter. The guitar is a good instrument to have the fecklet play — much better than the violin or the drums.
Ditto what Jan said!!!!!
Loved Spirit Willing Flesh Weak btw!
Done!
Argh! Followed the link from Liz, so scratching my head now trying to come with 10 things!
Someone from your old high school is reading number 5 and thinking, “So that’s where it went!”
