50 things about me

4 I spent my childhood on board the starship Enterprise
5 I like cats
6 I have 2 children
7 I have been living with their father since 1982
8 He's the only boyfriend I've ever had

11 I have a pet sheep
12 I spin her wool
13 I like chooks
14 I like Apple computers
15 My car is named after a kangaroo
16 I like running
17 I had an operation on my back
18 I like workshopping and editing creative writing
19 Sometimes I correct typos and spelling and punctuation mistakes on menus and in shops
20 This is really a secret identity, I am actually Super Apostrophe
21 My favourite cat is called Fred
22 My first tatto was a stag, my totem animal. It also has a Celtic knot and acorns on it
23 I was 40 when I got that tattoo
24 My second tattoo was of my beloved cat, Jim, who died. It also has a spiral and apple blossoms on it
25 My third tattoo was an apple blossom with a pentagram
26 My fourth tattoo was a pentagram with flowers
27 I am a witch
28 My fifth tattoo was a hummingbird, on my left foot
29 My sixth tattoo was the Carlton football club emblem on my right foot
30 My seventh tattoo was an armadillo with a star
31 I want to get all my totem animals tattoed onto my body
32 I love the smell of lilacs
33 My sheep ate the lilac Mum gave me for my birthday
34 I have pinups of Scott Bakula
35 I have pinups of David McCallum
36 I have dolls of them too
37 I am too fat
38 I am trying to lose weight by eating less and training more
39 When I lose weight I want to get a boiler suit like the ones they wore on Enterprise, and stick my Entrprise arm patch on it, and have my own private Star Trek convention
40 I used to write TV commercials. In a past life
41 I wasn't always fat
42 I used to wear a boiler suit because I looked cute in it
43 When an account exec was having his birthday, I unzipped my boiler suit so he could kiss my tits. It's the only outrageous thing I've ever done. He used to pretend to perve on me but he wasn't a sleaze. It was a funny joke.
44 I was about 23 when that happened
45 I was still a virgin when that happened
46 My thyroid does not work, I have to take medication every day for the rest of my life
47 I will probably die in a myxoedema coma
48 I am afraid of drought
49 I work as a proofreader and personal assistant for writer and human rights activist
50 I have written 2 novels but not found a publisher for them yet. Haven't started seriously looking. Maybe I am afraid. |

| I am a pollyanna. I think it would be wonderful to find someone a bit like us. Hell, I think it would be wonderful to find a microbe on Mars. |
