"But enough about me..."

[denny]

I know very little about some of the people on my Friends list. Some people I know relatively well. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say, 'Ah, there's so and so - she likes office supplies and hentai.'

I'd love it if every single person who Friended me would do this (although I hardly expect this to happen). Yes, even you people who I know really well.

I've accidently collected a small amount of certain types of cat sculptures/carvings; ones that are sleek, artistic and show the personality of a cat rather than being 'cute'.

I have a fascination with unusual clocks, for instance I used to have an analogue one in which the hands and the numbers went backwards (I miss it). I've seen one where the clock face hangs off and continually turns around a fixed point (which indicates the time), and one that use ballbearings that drop into trays in an 'abacus' type of system. If I could afford to, I'd collect them all and be the 'weird clock lady'.

I've just re-typed the word 'sculptures' (in the first sentence) several times because it looked wrong, and typing this sentence has now made me paranoid enough to actually check the correct spelling in dictionary.com.

I almost always procrastinate until the very last minute and thenI get stressed about impending deadlines. However I do always seem to get things done on time (though barely, and often with help).

I've recently discovered that I prefer not to wear knickers. How I've got to this age and not discovered this before, I have not idea...

The last girlfriend I lived with had a backwards clock. It messed up my ability to tell the time from analogue clocks for a while - I would glance at them (either this one or a normal one) and always get the time right, but never believe that I had, so then I'd spend minutes carefully triple-checking my initial glance.

I loved mine. It was my mothers and she knew how much I loved it so she gave it to me when I moved out. I got into the habit of reading all clocks backwards though, and remember 'correcting' the analogue clock in her new car, even though it was right...

Sorry for all the waffle above, I wanted to tell you stuff that isn't widely known about me, and I got carried away... lol

That's what the meme is for :) And who wouldn't want to know that you're probably not wearing any underwear?! *fidgets* Actually, I am meant to be working. :-P

I like the sound of the clock that moves around the fixed point, that sounds cool. I've seen the ball-bearing ones before, they're okay but I dunno, they didn't strike me as 'unusual' - just different. If that makes sense?

I think it's clocks that work in different ways that fascinates me, rather than clocks with unusual faces for instance. My dad has the ballbearing one, he built it from a kit when they were popular in the sixties. The noise would probably drive me mad, but I love the concept. :)

Hang on, I think I know you, didn't you come to a party at my house once when I was unwell and you sat in my room with me and my girlfriend for a while to cheer me up?

You know, I actually had to think really hard about this one. It sounds like something that I'd do, but I'm pretty sure that on this occasion it wasn't me. Sorry!
