OK onto questions....
When were you happiest?
University. Mainly my second year. I love having my ideas and beliefs stretched and challenged.
What is your earliest memory?
Letting the brake off my dad’s car when I was trying to get out, and both me and my sister were still in the car. Fortunately neither of us were injured, and neither was our car. Unfortuntely the car I ran it into had to be written off.
Which living person do you most admire?
My mum because of everything she’s been through, I deeply admire Alison Lapper as well. I admire all my friends too.

Where to begin? My worst, I can't repeat here, but second is probably when I was doing a drama exam and I completely forgot my piece and just stood there in front of the judges desperately trying to remember it.
What is your most treasured possession?
Photos of my grandparents, and my rag-doll, Becky.

Healing and telekinitics – I’m greedy *g*

My arms

A lot of things that I wish I could forget. One person told that I used my dyslexic as a crutch and I’d never get anywhere in life
What is the worst job you've done?
Working at a small book shop when I was at school and college. The owner regularly told me how everyone was going to hell, and constantly quizzed me on my own beliefs, but even worse one of the guys was very feely-touchy and tried to feel me up several times. I ended up having a friend come in to pretend to be my boyfriend
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Desperate Housewives with chocolate of some form
What do you owe your parents?
My mum, I owe everything. My dad…I owe my genes, and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

My grandparents, because I never told them how much I loved them.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
My friends and family
What was the best kiss of your life?
Not sure yet

Not having my grandparents around when I grew up
What was your dream job as a child. Is it still the same?
A history and drama teacher or a witch. No, I now want to be a councilor

There's so much I'd love to change...but I'm scared of whether it would change who I am, so just a couple of particuarlly hurtful memories
