Disadvantages: X SuX!

Tsk, well as always I'm the last to know about anything that's going on around here. I'm still not quite sure what this is all about but I'm gonna jump right in and join in with the rest of ya with my A - Z of Fishbulb.

Now, I'm not really going to think this through, (probably shouldn't say that - please don't go..come back..ahh..thanks,) I'll just write things as I think them and if it's total pap by the end I'll plead the fifth.

OkeyDokes here we go.

A is for Alcohol. I like a drink. I drink most things and some of my favourites are (pending occasion and temperature of course) red wine; Cava; Tia Maria; Grand Marnier; and cider.


B is for Ballet. When I was a child, I studied ballet; I absolutely loved it and dreamed of becoming a famous ballerina. These plans were scuppered somewhat by an accident which meant I couldn't continue my studying. That and the fact that I'm nearly 6 feet tall!


C is for Cheese. The most important food-group! Particularly when served with fresh crusty bread (or water biscuits), butter, wine and grapes and good company.


D is for Dreams. I have the strangest dreams and I always remember them. I have several re-occurring dreams too. I dream about everything from clouds to hell. Last night I dreamt about riding a horse; snow; boats; a giant chessboard; and something else that was really quite disturbing - I think it was a particularly nasty paisley-patterned rug.


E is for Earle. My surname. When I married I thought that trading in my maiden name (Went - yes, you heard me right) for Earle was brilliant. However, Earle is f*&^ing impossible to pronounce. (Try it, seriously, it's a strange word to convey to folks) Now I've been everything from Mrs Arle to my personal favourite Mrs Hurl!


F is for Food. I love to cook and I love to have guests over and entertain. Food is for sharing
and enjoying. Everything in moderation and the word 'diet' simply doesn't exist in my house. (This is probably one of the reasons that 'G' is no longer gym ;o))


G is for Guinea pigs. I have two guinea pigs (Hinge & Brackett) before them was Homer & Lenny. I have such a soft spot for these little animals. Maybe it's the way they sing or the fact that they look like little wigs with legs, but they are charming little cuties.


H is for Husband and happy. Both of which go hand in hand (which also starts with a 'H') If hubby's happy, then I'm happy and vice versa. Plus he makes me happy too!


I is for individual. I've never been one to 'follow the crowd' and for the best part I do and wear and act the way that's right for me. I'm a great believer in 'if you're not hurting anyone then what harm can it do'


J is for Jokes. I like to be told jokes. I can never remember them, I wish I could, but I can't. But tell me them anyway!


K is for Kinky. Whooah..don't look at me like that. Like I'd share with you that sort of thing. Tut tut. Shame on you. Ahh - so you did know then that I was talking about my hair. My hair's an entity unto itself most days. Some days straight, some days curly. Most of the time it's got the odd kink in it. Very annoying.


L is for Lists. I make lots of lists. I like making lists.


M is for Marmite. Can't stand the stuff and I know that there's a jar in my cupboard that I keep meaning to try but even the smell of it makes me feel sick.


N is for Nuts. The second most important food group! I love nuts, all sorts of nuts. Even some of you guys! Ha - gotta get in with the 'nut' jokes before you!


O is for Organised. I give the impression that I am, but it's more a chaos theory thing! On most days it's a miracle I can
make it through the pile of junk on my desk to the computer....my theory is my "in" tray has taken over the desk, soon to take over the world...


P is for Parents. I have the most amazing parent-in-laws. They're good fun, enjoy a drink and a laugh and I love them that little bit more now they've moved to Spain and we're having cheap holidays on the Costa Del Sol! ;o)


Q is for quizzical. I am forever asking questions. I just can't help it. What happened to
you? Where are you going? How was work? Why did you do that? What did she say?


R is for Roots. I'd like to learn a little more about my family. I know that I'm half Spanish and my aunt knows a little about the English side of the family but it would be nice to know more.

S is for Smile. The cheapest thing in the world and also the nicest. Please smile people. You'll feel better for it. If you walk into the supermarket grimacing then people will annoy you more. Smile and let things wash over you - life's too short to get upset about trivial things. S is also for Simpsons, I'm a half Marge half Homer kinda modern person. I keep the house tidy and neat and cook for the people in it, but I have the wackiest ideas and sense of humour (as well as an uncanny knack for getting into trouble/faking my own death to get out of work etc)


T is for Tidying. I seem to spend my whole life tidying my house. Every day I tidy something. And it never gets any tidier...another of life's miracles!

U is for Underdog. I always root for the little guy!

V is for virgin. HA, virgin on the ridiculous! How about V for versatile. I'll give most things a bash. If you don't try you'll never know if you can do it. Or if you'll enjoy it! I'm not shy and would rather join in with something than sit back and complain about it.

W is for weirdos. Not that I am one in the 'not fitti
ng into society' sort of way. I just seem to attract them. I can be sitting on my own in the middle of a field 50 miles away from the nearest town and you can guarantee that someone will come up to me and explain to me why they are not insane. Usually confirming their insanity.

X is for exercise. Lately I've really got back into the whole gym thing. Going really regularly and even doing some classes. I haven't lost any weight, but I've certainly toned up a lot. Hurrah!

Y is for Yes! One of my favourite words. I love being able to say yes to people when they ask me things. Do I look OK? Yes. Will you come out to lunch with me? Yes. Can I have a chocolate? Yes. People are always most pleased when you say this word. (Except when the question was Did you park your Ford Escort on my cat?)

Z is for Zyban (next opinion - plugplug, nudgenudge, winkwink, saynomore read it! Whoops unadulterated, shameless pluggery there, apologies to all) Seriously though, Zyban is a prescription only smoking cessation pill. It's currently the thing that is helping me not smoke. It's truly excellent and I'm feeling so very proud of myself at the moment because of it!

Well that's about it. I did have an A - Z of things I hate too which was also great fun to write today, but perhaps one I should keep to myself!

I also had an A - Z of Simpsons things too, maybe for another time!
