Five Me Facts [Meme]
I really enjoyed the five facts PlaidEarthworm covered at Squiggle (http://plaidearthworm.blogspot.com/2007/12/in-orbit.html) so I thought I'd tag myself for the meme and see what I learn (and share) about myself with some little tidbit facts about me.

Link to the tagger and post these rules on your blog. Share five facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

Random Fact: When I was a child I learnt to figure skate (rollerskates) with the four star program. I was really good at it despite always being a chubby child. I also loved it. In my teen years we moved further away from the rink where my family skated so much so I gave it up. My knees were continuing to cause problems anyway so I didn't do much sport in school but I really missed skating. Now my kids are old enough I've signed them and myself up for figure skating lessons again. I'm a three-star figure skater with two more tests to past. I still love it but must admit that I'm not as young and flexible as I used to be.

Weird Fact: I have occult believes, am a trained Past Life Regressionist and Reiki II Practitioner. I can also read Astrology and Tarot although I'm still practicing these. I'm also a medium and can see dead people. I've forced these 'gifts' to the depth of my consciousness because being able to 'see' has always made me feel uncomfortable and weird.

Factoid: I can say the alphabet backwards and forwards. I might have mentioned this before but I'm too lazy to search and check. *Pthb* I learnt to say the alphabet backwards in primary school because it was printed on the footpath inside giant footprints. My sister and I would walk to and from school hopping from footprint to fooprint saying the alphabet. Forwards from school and backwards too school. It's a fantastic way to learn and sometimes I wish we had multiplications presented in the same way.

Fact-a-chick-boom: I'm bisexual and prefer to watch naked women instead of naked men. I've always appreciated the female body and feel like the male body is rather haphazardly put together, awkward and functional rather than beautiful. I'm also turned on by erotic language and reading. Words have an amazing power over me. More so than most people.

Factling: I had a speech impediment as a child. Because I sucked my thumb until I was twelve years of age I have an overbite that caused me to have trouble saying words with the letter "s". The speech therapist taught me "to always keep the snake in the cage". That means, when you say the letter "s" keep your tongue behind your teeth. I learnt to do that and can now speak normally (although my online friends all find my accent cute).

Well, there you go. More than you ever really needed to know about me and perhaps way more than I should share on a medium where prospective employers might stumble upon me. *blushes*

I'm not going to tag anyone but if you found the Meme as interesting and inspiring as I did I hope you'll join in. Be sure to leave a comment to point out your Meme so I can check it out. *Smile*
