Knowing Me, Knowing You
Several of my readers have requested that I vary the content of my blog so that it's not so overwhelmingly David Usher-centric. Frankly, I don't see the problem, but apparently some people feel that I am a trifle obsessed with the man. So, without further ado, we have some non-David content - 5 things you didn't know about me:
- When I was ten, I appeared in The Nutcracker on stage at the King's theatre in Glasgow. As a singing snowflake.
- My favourite Womble is Orinoco, described by Wikipedia as an "overweight shirker".
- I once went white water river rafting. I screamed like a girl.
- My least favourite ABBA song is "I Saw it in the Mirror". Sung by Bjorn.
- I have nothing pierced or tattooed, but if I had a tattoo it would say "Moist". Oh wait, that's Usher-related content.
- (To make up for 5.) My yearbook said I wanted to live in Europe, become a journalist, and meet Frida. Two out of three ain't bad. (And I'm still holding out hope for the third.)
So that's me. Tell me five things I don't know about you.

Dear Singing Snowflake:
Some readers think you too Usher-centric ? How bombastic.
Things you shall now find out about me:
1. in 1980 I worked in the bush 40 miles south of Prince George BC, as a counsellor at a court-ordered wilderness rehabilitation camp for male young offenders (although back then they were called juvenile delinquents).
2. My favorite Dixie Chick is Natalie Maines.
3. I dated a guy I met at an autopsy.
4. I rode up 13 floors in an elevator once with Carol Burnett. Just the 2 of us.
5. I've served communion wine to the Anglican Bishop of the Sudan.
Number 3 is particularly interesting - one assumes he was not the one lying on the table?
1. I tried changing my name to Sophie when I was 14.
2. I used to be able to name all the Backstreet Boys. (My boss at the time was a big fan; for his birthday we wrapped up his present in Backstreet Boys wrapping paper. Yes, such a thing existed.)
3. I was once send to my headmistress for a stern talking to because I was bouncing on my bed. (I still question *what* she was told since her speech included the words "I have never heard of such bad behaviour.")
4. The first time I ever saw The Sound of Music, I fell asleep right after the wedding. I had no idea that there were Nazis in the movie until about fifteen years later.
5. My mother once dressed as a Womble in a Christmas pantomime. (I don't remember which Womble it was, though.)
