Some back-from-lunch procrastination

Nicked from [livejournal.com profile] silent_chris: Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts except for I shun tagging so I'm not.

-I used to own a pair of slippers that were shaped like ducks.

-I hate speaking on the phone apart from to friends.

-I can currently see a man walking about on the roof of the factory opposite my building.

-I'm petrified of heights.

-I like dinosaurs.

-I like insects.

-I like cats.

-I represented my riding club in gymkhana games for three years running - I have l33t dismounting from a canter skills (but only from little ponies).

-I have had my horse Oscar for ten years.

-Oscar still hates me.

-My first internet fandom was Stargate SG-1.

-I'd never been on the internet or sent an email until I went to uni at 18 (back in 1998!).

-I use energy saving light bulbs.

-I have an obsession with stationery (these 19mm bulldog clips I have are so cute!).

-I quite enjoy filing.

-I wear contact lenses and glasses (but not together because that would be silly).

-I haven't got a driving licence.

-I have a BSc in Biology.

-I'm only 5 foot tall.

-I used to collect sweet wrappers as a child so that in the future I'd be able to see what they looked like back in the mid-eighties (I've since lost the collection and would actually now love to see what the wrappers looked like then!).

Dude, shame about the sweet wrappers! I did a project on Cadbury's once where I collected lots of Cadbury's wrappers. I lost that too.

Just imagine, if we hadn't both lost our collections then between us we could have had Europe's finest collection of oldschool sweet wrappers and made a fortune!

Duck slippers! I had sharks once.

Stationary eh?

Well done on the energy saving blubs.

My brother had some particularly cool Mario and Luigi ones which I found him wearing the other day. Strange boy.

I'm not even all that good at talking to friends on the phone. It's a complete phone aversion.

Heights terrify me.

gymkhana is cool. I used to be able to dismount at the canter, but then it ocurred to me that it was a long way down moving that fast and a girl could get hurt doing that. So I taught my kids at camp to do it :) Much easier from ponies.

At work, I'd much rather send someone an email, or failing that, walk down three flights of stairs to actually speak to them!

The last time I had a go at any games was about three years ago at uni and I beat everyone! Mwah! I did used to damage myself quite frequently doing games as a teenager though.

Only 5 feet? I'm 4'11". :D

Wow! You're a whole inch shorter than me! That doesn't happen often! Us short people have to stick together you know.

I love the icon even if it is slightly disturbing!

We do. We're easier to see that way. Yes, I'm far too happy I'm an inch taller that one of my aunts.

That's why I chose it. It's...yeah. You're familiar with [livejournal.com profile] my_sim_stories, right?
