Things you may not know about me


Things you may not know about me

I blame your parents for damaging you
I really would rather sleep
I love country music
Getting old and ugly scares me
I don’t trust people to look after me but I am trying
I expect my body to just go ~ like a maintenance free car
I pray that one day my granddaughter will look with horror and say you did what to your hair with hot wax
I fear I am living in a world that needs me to be a lot thinner
I have made a great many mistakes but have few regrets
I am really nosey
My sons playing rugby is supremely important to me
I don’t really want to be a non smoker
I love Toulouse Lautrec and maybe as an extension Pin-up art
At the end of it all I would like to be seen as a mixture between Martha Stewart,  Ditta Von Tease and Angela Merkel
Pablo Neruda is just about my favorite poet
I prefer Tagore’s view on life and the cosmos to Heisenberg’s
I eat health bread because I like the taste not because its good for me
I like being liked but I also like being disliked
I love bunting and polka dots and jam
Sometimes I am so unsure of whether I was born before my time or some decades to late
I like rules and stability and the fabric of society being maintained – I just don’t think I should be bound by any of it
I really am a socialist
I love scones but I hate crumpets and I think bagels are chewy and sour and have nothing to recommend them
I have less good taste than my mother and only marginally more than my father
I know you all think I dance badly – I think I dance great
I prefer Brie to camembert
I like apricot jam but not peach
I like being alone which is why I stay up late and sleep at odd hours
I love all things red
One day I want to own an Oscar De la Renta dress
I always preferred Hello Dolly to Gone with the wind
I dislike being cold, and I really dislike being to hot
I wish I could commit to a religion
I love road trips and I hate airports
Gardening was how I came to absolutely believe in God
