Who Am I?
I'm quizzical
. I was born at a very young age, survived a rambunctious and somewhat misspent childhood, and arrived, despite my best efforts, at adulthood. Random likes, dislikes and observations:
- One is never too old to have a happy childhood.
- If I were stuck on a desert island, I would hope to have a copies of Tao Te Ching and Good Omens (T. Pratchett and N. Gaiman). And the complete works of J. S. Bach. And food. Food would be good.
- Actually, if I were stuck on a desert island, what I would most like to have is a boat.
- 'I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.' - Woody Allen
- I
birds. - Woman does not live by chocolate alone, but some of us sure try.
- One can never have too many books.
- Favourite sport: figure skating.
- Favourite activity: curling up in a comfy chair with a good book, a pot of tea, and my pet cockatiel on my shoulder (not that I get much reading done with the bird demanding my attention).
- Current reading: everything by Robert Rankin.
- I'm a blonde.
(Don't tell anyone.)
In addition to being a Sub-editor, I write a column for
called 'Running with Scissors' and produce a few poems and cartoons from time to time.
