Ten Random Things About Me
The "Ten Random Things" meme has, apparently, reached me. So:
1. My favourite colour is red.
2. I have no sense of direction. No, really - none.
3. I had two letters read on CBC's Morningside, and I once convinced Peter Gzowski to autograph a book to "Gran" - mine, not his.
4. I could read before I could walk.
5. I know almost all the words to all the songs in The Sound of Music.
6. I'm told I could eat nothing but eggs for the first few months of my life, and now the sight of a boiled or fried or scrambled egg makes me nauseated.
7. I'm just the sort of person who insists on the distinction between "nauseated" and "nauseous."
8. I have a terrible habit of "telling a movie" the way most people tell a story - as in, the whole thing: scene changes, dialogue, stage business. Ask my brothers. It drives them nuts.
9. I have never broken a limb - but I've had it done professionally (doctors, that is, not mobsters).
10. I gave moxywoman her copy of the Riddlemaster trilogy, the three volumes of which together form one of my favourite books, now available again in a one-volume paperback.
