Just to keep this journal =MSJames-themed, the old codger has tagged me, which means I have to do this thing:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal / blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged
6. Don't talk about fight club!
1. I once got my eyelid caught in a zip. I was changing for PE in year five (that's aged 9-10ish) and I had a tracksuit jumper with a zip-up collar. When I was putting it over my head I realised I'd forgotten to unzip the zip, so to save time I tried unzipping it whilst it was still over my head, and somehow it got caught on my eyelid. Ouch...
2. I'm into a lot of types of music that people my age find boring or just aren't into, eg. orchestral music (including classical, romantic, film music, etc.), brass ensembles, chamber, choral, jazz...the list goes on. I play the French Horn and sing soprano, and in the past I've played many other classical instruments, which I think is why I like these types of music. I also enjoy genres that are more popular among people my age like indie and rock.
3. When I was six I moved to a new primary school and my work level plummeted because of the move. As a bribe to make me work harder my Mum bought me two goldfish. I named one Cleo after the goldfish in Pinocchio and the other Tails after the squirrel in Sonic the Hedgehog. Cleo lived until she was eight years old and Tails lived for another year after Cleo died. I think that's quite impressive for a two-inch long goldfish.
4. My birthday is on Valentine's day. Hurrah.
5. Last year I volunteered for an organisation called Pyramid, which involved running an after school club for primary school kids with low self-esteem and mild behavioural problems. I worked with three other club leaders, one of which was my boyfriend John.
6. My dad has over sixty first cousins; his parents came from families of twelve and thirteen siblings. I just have eight first cousins. :]
7. DeviantART is the only website where I don't display my name on my profile. It's pretty easy to find if you want to know it, by looking on my website/facebook/any forums I'm on.
8. I've seen The Phantom of the Opera twice in the West End. Musicals are the best.
I'm going to disobey rules 4 and 5 and say whoever wants to do this, consider yourself tagged. Let me know and I'll come and read it. Have fun!












"Because today's so special
it really wouldn't do,
to send one simple birthday wish
to last the whole year through...
So this wishes happy moments,
a day when dreams come true,
and a year that's filled with all the things
that mean the most to you."

Love that lives in the heart cannot be so easily terminated by time. Even though the encounter is brief its impression shall last a lifetime. No one can change the direction of love that lives in the heart. If you have loved that in itself is the answer.
Enjoy your cake!

A birthday rhyme for you
on your special day
Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is loving and giving.
Thursday's child works hard for a living,
Friday's child fears no foe.
Saturday's child has far to go.
And the child born on Sunday
is bonny and wise in every way.
find the day of the week you were born here [link]
