Dreaded Lurgy and a meme

It appears that M accidentily bought home germs from the new students at the college he works at as I have been ill all week...including a trip to the out of hours doctors surgery late last night as I was having breathing problems. Am ok, I just have to rest for as long as possible.

I've been tagged by Sewing Southpaw to do this silly meme thing.

I have to tell you five weird things about me:

1. I can speed read naturally. The useful side effect of years of bullying at school meant I spent all my time in the library. Compare that with the stock my family but in having good knowledge and I was odviously born to be a bookworm. My favourites are Sci/fi, fantasy, thrillers - especially those involving pathology and behavourial sciences, and crime novels. My favorite author is Freda Warrington but you can't get her books in the UK. I have one I was given as a gift by an american friend. Unfortunatly the rest of my brain works at the same speed as I read so I get bored easily.

2. I am obsessed with The West Wing. Its the relationships between the people mainly but I find the american political system interesting.

3.I am a fussy eater - mainly due to IBS. I can't eat red meat, anything with yeast in, and I just plain don't like/won't eat egg yolk unless its mixed in with the white as in scrambled eggs or ommlettes. My favourite food is pretzels and I can't have them any more as I can't find yeastless ones. :( !

4. I studied arts and crafts at college, but I don't think my work is good enough to sell even though people tell me I'm talented. I don't know if I ever will think it is good enough.

5. I'd rather buy stuff for my stash than food or the new shoes I really really need!

I'm also supposed to tag 5 people but most of the people I know/read have already been tagged by other people so you can do it if you wish.
