That’s interesting about your father.
What’s in a name?
-
I am named after a Shakespearean heroine who dressed up as a boy
-
I have 2 middle names - Frances and Rebecca
- I live in London with my saint-like other half
- I still don’t have any brothers or sisters
- 2 other people have lived with my family (instead of their own) for one reason or another.
- I have an unhealthy obsession with gin and tonic, red wine, port and cheese
- I started smoking when I was 13
- I started drinking about the same time
- My father is an orphan
- He was one of the first people to be adopted in Ireland
- My perfect threesome would be Mark Cueto and Ben Cohen
- I have an un-natural obsession with crap cheesy pop
- And am quite happy to admit I know most of the words to most songs
- It annoys me when people try to sing along but don’t know the words
- If I could live at any time period I would live in the late 1800’s and I would be very rich
- I love flirting with people
- It doesn’t matter if they are good looking or not
- I hate letting people down
- But I sometimes do it
- I always complain I am getting old even though I am under 30
- I hate the fact that my parents must know I am not a virgin anymore (virgin’ on the ridiculous)
- I can translate latin given enough time
- I have known some people from the internet longer than I have known some of my closest friends
- I can be a complete bitch if I want and I don’t care who knows it
- I could speak Husa (Nigerian dialect) before I could speak English
- I then moved onto Spanish when I was 2 1/2 and my English was rudimentary
- I now have a degree in English and can’t speak languages to save my life
- I don’t really have any deep dark secrets
- I play rugby
- That does not make me a lesbian
- Sometimes I worry about nothing, just for the sake of worrying
- I am not a career woman - never have been
- I can’t wait to be able to settle down in a nice house in the countryside
- I don’t understand what N sees in me
- I’m getting old before my time - sometimes I’d rather stay at home with a good film and a glass of wine, rather than go out with my friends
- I want to be popular
- I’m very argumentative when I’m drunk

Interesting and quite scary that Ireland bought in adoption laws so late.

in a twist of irony, can i use your copyright notice on my blog? i think it successfully covers all the basics and is just verbose enough to look official.
not that such notices stop intellectual property theft, but it’s good to hold onto the illusion
