So, there's been an evolution in mêmes. First it was being tagged in mass emails to air your dirty polyester for all on the BCC list to see, then it was being tagged or lifting them from random blogs so the whole wide web could see them. Now its being somewhat selective and posting them on Facebook so a selective few from the whole wide web can see them, including all the people you befriended in the early days even though you struggle to find what you have in common with them apart from the fact that you thought you'd be BFFs after that amazing night you had at someone elses birthday party.
Anyway, I lifted this from Facebook as I've been tagged multiple times in this. As I haven't had a chance to think of what to use as an introduction to the new, improved blog here, I think its fitting to include a list of random insights for all you die-hard loyal fans out there.

15 Random Things About Me (adapted from the original '25 Random Things About Me'
*****
1. I've slept with a fashion designer. He wasn't very good.
2. Hypochondria runs in my family's male genes. I'm trying to avoid it but the phamacies here are too much to resist.
3. I have no idea how I found myself to be in the career I'm in, but I really enjoy the work.
4. Sometimes my mood is erratic and I can snap over the smallest things, like the Other Half leaving the toothpaste on the side rather than in the toothbrush glass.
5. When I was 5 my father walked out on my mother and I. Now we're a complete family again with added sisters, and I have a polite but strained relationship with him.
6. I am both a closet alcoholic and chocoholic, but I hate chocolate liquors
7. I'm still in love with the idea of Big T, even though our worlds could not be more different. And I haven't seen him in 8 years.
8. I don't often tell others what I think.
9. Being protective of my sisters often comes across as being overbearing and bossy. I need to work on not being a substitute parent
10. I'd like to be more spontaneous but I am too much of a control freak to increase the frequency.
11. Once I was so wasted on a night out I unknowingly offended someone who I liked. The next day after multiple phonecalls I was finally told that 'I never want to see, or hear from you ever again'. To this day I am still trying to figure out what I did or said.
12. I've only recently started to get my finances in order after 27 years of being clueless about it.
13. I panic when I'm swimming and suddenly realise when I'm the only person in the pool.
14. I wish I had a porn star's physical attributes.
15. I have romantic notions of moving to far-flung countries but am put off by the local cuisine.
