Gosh, this is hard! I think I'm too sensible to do really weird things.

1. As I have mentioned before, I like gravy with everything and whenever someone mentions licking chocolate or cream off their lover's body, I always imagine doing it with gravy. Ruf says it will be too messy but I'm not completely deterred and remain hopeful...

2. I'm very persistent. I don't like to fail or be beaten by something. I will stay up til all hours to finish a book or jigsaw puzzle - even if I'm not enjoying it.

3. I get travel sick and vertigo so I don't willingly do heights or fairground rides.

4. Horror movies give me nightmares. You may not have noticed, but I do possess a very vivid imagination. I can scare myself far more effectively than any film director.

5. I once won a talent competition as a ventriloquist - no I wasn't the dummy!

6. I have that whole index finger longer than the third finger thing going on. This, apparently, means that I was subjected to lots of testosterone in the womb which accounts for some of my more masculine tendencies... like enjoying watching football and rugby. I'm afraid it does not extend to cricket, which I find dull in the extreme - unless it's one of those really exciting run-chasing competitions with the Ashes or some other major trophy at stake. In that case, I understand the concept and can watch enthusiastically. However, normal five-day matches leave me completely bemused by teams being able to win because it rained!

7. I try really hard to be nice to everybody and smile at everyone, which often gets me into trouble because I also seem to be a magnet for weirdos. Ruf tells me I should just tell them to go forth and multiply but I'm too polite and don't want to hurt their feelings. It's all part of my desire for approval and validation and I recognise that, but I'm not sure if it's something I want necessarily to change. Yes, people take advantage and think that they can treat me badly and get away with it but I think I'd rather that than become hard and suspicious.
