  1. The above is one of my favourite photos of me, it is a photo of ME, not all the effort I put into looking human!
  2. I am obsessed with paralympic sport, I find it so motivating. I may not be able to do that but I can keep going with what I can do.
  3. I always wanted to have naturally ginger ringlets, like in old Renaissance painting.
  4. I don't like caffeinated drinks, I can smell the caffeine & it makes me feel queasy.
  5. I feel sometimes like I'm not really from England, I'm from the South of America cause a lot of the things I like to eat are more American than they are British - peanut butter, pumpkin pie, sweet potato etc,
  6. I really don't get on with seafood...I mean I like fish but....
  7. My eyes change colour all the time, they are green mostly but the shade changes & sometimes they are blue.

  15. My biggest fear is depression. When I had depression it felt like I was locked away in a corner of my head. It was almost the way I would imagine possession to be. It was like someone else was living my life & I was helpless to intervene.
  16. My next biggest fear is that I won't have achieved anything before my body & brain degenerate to 'critical mass'.

  19. My favourite flowers are snowdrops/bluebells.
  20. When I was a kid I was taller & broader built than all the other kids & so was told over & over I was fat (despite not being as big as some of the other kids). Eventually I started to believe it & so wound up gaining weight from low self-esteem.
