lady_t_220As I think I got all the guesses I'm gonna' get to the 5 things meme, I'll fling out the answers.
1: The seeds of a vigelante were sewn young. When I was eight I threw a half-brick at Henry Sharpe's head and very nearly concussed him in retribution for trying to look up girl's skirts in the playground. And I would have got away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddeling kids!
TRUE It was also the only time I ever got in trouble at school. Cause I was a "good" student, according to all my teachers.
2: I have never seen the classic cartoon version of Watership Down all the way through, even though we owned it on video for 10+ years.
FALSE The Boywonder loved it so it was shown regularly, though I only watched it all the way through on ONE occassion. It traumatised my childhood so comprehensively that to this day I will still actively avoid any TV stations showing it until I'm certain that it's over.
3: When I was young I used to draw on walls. All blame would regularly be assigned to Mary Ellen, the invisible troublemaker. My mother used to let me get away with this as, thanks to my granny's insider information, I would then remind her that she used to draw on walls and blame it on Folly Bergere.
TRUE Though my dad never let me get away with it. (I think he was just jealous that he never had an invisible scapegoat). When all else failed I would complain that I didn't have any paper, till one day he deposited an entire 6-ream box of photocopier paper in my room and told me that if I used that excuse one more time...
*cough*
4: I once had a dream where I was getting married wearing a wedding dress made entirely out of empty teabags.
Bizarre, but TRUE. It actually looked pretty good, too.
5: My fic folder cuttently contains 104 documents, only 25 of which are actually finished. Of those, only 18 have been archived anywhere, and one of those is not under my name.
TRUE And definitely proof that I need to do something about my unfinished fics before they form some kind of consciousness and try to take over the world.
The unaccounted for finished fics were mostly ficlets written for obscure purposes in the WXFO cage, and the one that's not under my name is... well... let's not talk about that. ;) I don't admit it belongs to me and it doesn't come back and bite me in the ass.

(OK, you COULD have a cookie if my image host wasn't being a jerk right at this moment in time... Imagine that little box with a red X in has a picture of a cookie in it, K?)
