26 to 50
- I have a Weather Loach called Twisty. He can breathe atmospheric air when he has to and is an excellent escape artist.
- I used to swim competitively. My best strokes were freestyle and butterfly and I used to train six times a week. See entry #24.
- I am completely enamoured with watching professional wrestling.
- I have many nicknames. Examples include Monky, Poison, A, Len, Alien. I do not like to be called all of these.
- I identify with the idea of an Ice Queen and will use frosty metaphors for emotional hardship on a regular basis. I also identify with the idea of myself being poisonous due to my popular status with the opposite sex.
- I never liked a single boy band. However, I do enjoy watching Take That videos now for their retro effect
- I love watching musical films.
- I always start to feel very emotional when I watch the ballet scene from An American In Paris.
- I cry when I hear certain songs that are supposed to be uplifting e.g I've Had The Time Of My Life. I find them depressing.
- I cried when I went to see Madam Butterfly.
- I enjoy crime fiction and film noir.
- I have lots of celebrity crushes, spazzing-out over both actors and wrestlers... Double whammy.
- I really enjoy dressing up and put lots of effort into making my costume, far too much effort.
- I store lots of random facts in my head. I have a brain like a sponge and consider it important that I be able to identify a Pyjama Cardinalfish when I see one.
- I went to a selective single-sex school. It made me feel of little worth.
- Conversely, I consider that I am superior to the majority of the population, including most of my schoolmates.
- Then again, I am bad at selling myself.
- I think hope is one of the worst of all emotions.
- I am highly critical of both myself and others.
- I prefer not to hope for things, because when they go tits up I will not feel crushed.
- I viciously bite my fingernails.
- I love Lego. Not, however pink Lego or film-themed Lego (though I suppose Star Wars Lego is just about acceptable).
- I used to watch Star Wars IV over and over on tape when I was about five years old. The tape stretched and I now have an irrational fear of Le Piat D'Or adverts.
- I have never "gone out" with anyone.
- Brightly-coloured and interestingly textured underwear brings me great joy, but sometimes I feel down that no-one gets to see it.
