Ally and Cookie nominated me as an Honest Blogger. I'm not sure how honest I really am -- after all, my blog is peopled with characters from Harry Potter -- but I do try to be truthful in what I write about. So here are ten real facts about me -- honest!
1. I am afraid of heights.
2. I had my 15 minutes of fame at age six. A small news item about me that appeared in the local paper was picked up by The Canadian Press, and it subsequently ran in newspapers across Canada.
3. I hate telephones. If I can't use email to contact someone, I write a letter.
4. Many people are envious of my hair, and I always offer to trade. It's taken me many years to establish a peaceful co-existence with it.
5. I am a member of Mensa.
6. If I were stranded on a desert island with only one kind of food, I would want it to be cheese.
7. It's no problem for me to speak in front of hundreds of people, but I stumble over my words when talking to one person if I feel uncomfortable or anxious.
8. For the first 20 years of my life, I had no access to a car; I walked, cycled or used public transportation to get where I needed to go.
9. I hate to eat alone in a restaurant, and will usually opt for takeout or something from the grocery store.
10. I like mice, rats, snakes, frogs and bats. Spiders, on the other hand, give me the willies. I can't even look at or touch a picture of one.
I won't nominate anyone; I know all my readers are honest. Please feel free to try this meme on your blog, or in the comments here, if you don't have a blog of your own.
I'm the same way with telephones. I don't know why I hate them so much, but I definitely do. Which sucks because I'm self-employed, and have multiple phone lines and phones in just about every room of the house, save for the bathroom. I do everything I can to encourage people to email me rather than call.
ReplyDeleteI hate phones, too. For me, the internet is wonderful, since I can communicate in writing most of the time. Hey, you mean you're not the real Hermione? I'm stunned! Meow
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us Hermione.
ReplyDeleteI was the same, didn't have access to a car until I was 21 and I used to walk everywhere. Mind you I still would rather walk than take the car.
I like to talk with to people rather than use email.
Should have mine up tomorrow.
Love.

Congratulations Hermoine, on mentioning that you are a member of Mensa. I have always believed that the 'spanking community' has a higher 'IQ' rating that many world wide groups. Would'nt you agree Hermoine?
