Eight Pointless Things About Me

May 17th, 2009 at 7:45 pm

Evil!! I got tagged with a meme by the lovably misunderstood Iain Dale, but it’s the sort of random rubbish I actually like so I thought I’d have a go (I’ve also been tagged with a LDV one, eek!)

1. I once insulted John Savident (I said, I said, ee’s Fred the Butcher from t’Corrie) by not actually knowing his name and being too embarrassed to call him Fred.

2. I also once met Rita from Corrie, and spent the next few years remarking that she was a ‘really tiny old lady with an really huge wig’

3. I’m apparently the kind of person who, if my work falls on the floor, will go onto the floor and carry on working rather than pick it up.

4. I’ve watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer all the way through (all 7 series) about 5 times now. Kill me!! Kill me!!

5. I’ve been accidentally involved with 3 cults in my life – two from unwittingly stumbling into the purview of two different people with Borderline Personality Disorder (they seem to like starting cults), and the third when I got addicted to World of Warcraft.

6. “In 1976, when I was a baby, Sid Vicious changed my nappy backstage at a Sex Pistols gig” is my favourite half-truth. The real truth is that my mum concieved backstage at a Sex Pistol’s gig. Probably.

7. I once appeared (for a few seconds) on Men and Motors after being dragged along to the shoot by my then boyfriend (who was obsessed with cars). I’m told I’m one of the few women who’ve ever appeared on that channel fully clothed.

8. I’ve met one person that claimed to have killed someone and hadn’t, and another person that claimed not to have killed someone and had.

Right that’ll do. I tag Jennie Rigg, Costigan Quist (haha!!) and anyone else that wants to do it really.
