In reply to spill the beans- 7 things people don't know bout U, posted by spriggy on December 18, 2005, at 13:56:46
I can’t think there’s anything I haven’t mentioned here! It’s a struggle to think of seven things…
1. Everyone I know has a musical key associated with them. That includes people I know online. Spriggy is B major, for example. I think it’s a synaesthesia thing.
2. I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and documentaries about plane crashes.
3. I see more green than other people (I think things are green when other people say they're gray or blue).
4. It takes me three times longer than anyone else to build stuff or make stuff (you know, like assembling bookshelves from Ikea) and yet I really enjoy doing it. But I usually have to do it alone because I’m so clumsy and slow that no one can bear to watch me.
5. I wasted much of my youth playing Strategic Conquest on my Mac instead of studying. When I realised that bombs became increasingly destructive the longer the game went on, I used to keep the game going for weeks, surrounding the enemy and building bigger and bigger bombs until I made a bomb so big the explosion covered the whole screen. I think I had some unresolved anger…
6. Some of my socks are 18 years old, and they have no holes yet.
7. I make terrible coffee. I’ve tried to learn many times but I just can’t seem to get it right; it’s usually too weak. Anyone for tea?
There, I managed to think of seven, but one was about my socks, and I really don’t know if that counts…
