Okay, normally I don't enjoy reposting memes, but this one isn't one of those generic Q&As and I can actually waffle on a bit, so I'll give it a bash. Jacked from cleolinda (who, by the way, I am a massive fangirl of).

So, I need to come up with 10 things that probably only I have done. Here... we... go.
( Wanna know how I got these scars? )


Another fun fact about me: I don't pronounce my own name correctly.


And in world news, J. K. Rowling won her case again the Lexicon! The world didn't end! (Well, not for another couple of weeks at least.) And I discovered free podcasts, and my disk space has been decreasing ever since...

I KNEW IT!

"You would never know it from the way he plays Quidditch, but Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he suffers from dyspraxia – often associated with clumsiness.

The condition means the 19-year-old still has trouble tying his shoelaces.

It can affect any or all areas of development, including intellectual, physical and language, and can impair a person’s normal process of learning.

In adults, it can affect a person’s ability to perform in stressful or challenging situations and make tasks such as driving difficult.

‘I was having a hard time at school in terms of being c**p at everything, with no discernible talent,’ he says."

No discernible talent? Well, they're his words, not mine. I'm sure everybody who watched the crying scene in Prisoner of Azkaban wouldn't like to disagree with you there, Dan.


And in other news, Warner Brothers are cold heartless bastards and they can writhe in terrific agony in hell for the rest of time as far as I'm concerned.

"The picture is completely, absolutely, 100 percent on schedule, on time. There were no delays. I've seen the movie. It is fabulous. We would have been perfectly able to have it out in November."

And that, friends, makes me sick to my stomach. Because they chose not to, just so that they could maximise the earning potential of the film.


[Disclaimer: Dan Radcliffe still does a better job at Harry than I could probably do. I know I'm harsh, it's just my style of humour. Take what I say with a pinch of salt.]


So, I'm off now to go run on the treadmill until I collapse into a heap. I'm forcing myself to enjoy running again, and there's no better way to do that than run until you want to stab yourself to make your lungs stop hurting. I'm okay with the running; it's the stopping that I hate, because that's when I can no longer breathe.

From the transcript of the Lexicon lawsuit, during JK's cross examination. Q is David S. Hammer, Defence Attorney for RDR Books. A is the dear and wonderful Joanne Rowling.

A.       It so happens -- and I think I testified this
    morning -- that an alphabetical rearrangement is the laziest
    way to rearrange and sell my work.
Q.  Well, it is a lazy way but it is a very useful way to
    readers, isn't it?
A.  In what way?
Q.  It is easy to get information in alphabetical listing,
    isn't it?
A.  I don't understand.  Why -- how would I -- I don't
    understand how I would use this book as a reader.
Q.  Have you ever used a dictionary, Ms. Rowling?
A.  You are telling me Mr. Vander Ark is going to teach me how
    to spell?

I knew there was a reason she was one of my heroes. If she doesn't win, there are going to be some serious assassinations going down...

I read something the other day about online security, about how to keep your identity safe. It had all of the usual 'change your password regularly', 'look for https at the start of the website address to show that it's secure when entering details', 'change your security settings so that only people you know have your email address', 'don't tell people when you're on holiday',  things like that.

And towards the bottom of the article, it said to never tell anybody what your mother's maiden name is, or your birthday. I don't have a problem with the maiden name part (I don't even use that as my security question, but I still wouldn't shout about what it is), but apparently banks and things use your date of birth to confirm things.

But the thing is, I want people to see when my borthday is. I like the feeling I get when people are happy for me ^_^ is that too much to ask?

In case anybody was wondering, it's the 20th December. And I have a wishlist on hmv if you would like me to email it to you xP


Besides, anybody impersonating me may know my date of birth, but if they come under scrutiny they'll never pass. They won't know my favourite flavour of jam.
