Howdy folks!

*ByrneFoto tagged me a while ago, but I haven't gotten around to doing anything about it until now. I haven't posted the rules either - I have no-one else to tag so I didn't feel the need to (plus I forgot to copy and paste and I'm not going back now). So to me:

1. My two worst fears as a child (we're talking screaming and crying inducing fears) were the gingerbread man (who is an evil evil child killer) and the vaccuum (horrible LOUD sucking machine).

2. I played clarinet and then bass clarinet for four years in school band but chose to quit due to constantly finding numerous tiny parts of my front teeth chipped off on the mouthpiece from to the vibrations of such a large instrument.

3. I once made some delicious cupcakes with colourful buttercream frosting for my niece's third birthday. One of the children spread the blue icing liberally around his mouth and nose by way of eating it, and he remained that colour for a week.

4. Gumby shaped my childhood - he and his band rock!

5. I chopped off the a small part of my right index finger by loosing my temper while cutting a cooked chicken - never use a knife as a cleaver when your hand is still there.

6. I own two long-necked terrapins named Wurtle and God. Wurtle is an over-excitable A-grade nuffy, while God is.....mellow.....

7. When I was young I wanted a one-sided ponytail, so I chopped off one of my long pigtails at the skin. I got scared I would get a smack, so I threw the cut off piece in the bin so that no-one would notice.

8. I got my black belt in taekwondo this year.

Ok so there is me in a nutshell. I'm not crazy but my turtles are.
