The A-Z of me.

I am bored, so bored that I completed the A-Z of me. This is what happens when your entire social network, lifestyle, and  free time revolve around climbing, and you cannot climb. Sucks. Hope nobody actually reads this:

A is for apples. I don't eat them, they make me nauseous. In fact oranges are pretty much the only fruit that I do eat.

B is for boring, which I am. I like boring. Up to a point. And for blogging, which I do. And for Botswana, where I lived when I was small, and Brad Pitt, who I think is hot.

C is for cats. I love cats but I don't have one at the moment. As soon as we move to another place I will get one. And for Cartmann, my role model. And for Cape Town, the place I want to be living in again, sometime.

D is for Durban, the place in South Africa where I was born and raised.

E is for English, the only language I speak fluently. I am very ashamed of that. The only other language that I could speak was Afrikaans and I haven't spoken it since school so I doubt I could hold a conversation. I can read it still though.

F is for fingernails. I still chew mine at age 28. 

G is the intial of my boyfriend's name. We have been together 8 years, and are "married" emotionally and mentally but will never get married in a formal way.

H is for hair. Mine is brown. And handstands, which I like to do.

I is for internet, to which I am addicted.

J is for Jumping Jaks popcorn which I would probably eat every day if I could.

K is for karma, bad, which I seem to have in bucketloads right now.

L is for Leamington Spa, the place in England where I currently live.

M is for marijuana, which is bad, m'kay? Except in Holland; then you can go wild.

N is for naughty which I am not.  Mostly. And nice which I am, sometimes.

O is for orangutan, which my teacher called me at school because of my freakishly long arms. Oook!

P is for peanut butter. I ate only peanut butter sandwiches for about 8 years. Now I do not eat peanut butter at all. Strange, that. And for penicillin, which I did not discover.

Q is for quiet, which I am. Except for sometimes when I don't shut up and that usually involves alcohol.

R is for rock climbing, my favourite sport, which I cannot do because of an injury and then a misdiagnosis and then an operation for no reason, blah blah. But thanks to my genius chiropractor I may get to start again soon!

S is for science, a thing I sometimes pretend to do.

T is for toes which I can touch. 

U is for underestimate, which I do of myself.

V is for vain, which I am but I keep it a secret by going around looking like a slob.

W is for Westville. The suburb in Durban where I have spent more years than any other place. It was dull. But cool because it was where I spent my childhood.

X is for the x on a ballot paper which I have never ever made. This frustrates me greatly.

Y is for younger, which I wish I was.

Z is for zebras. I used to live down the road from a tiny nature reserve which had quite a few zebras. These are the only major African animals I have seen in the wild (apart from dassies, penguins, and springboks of course :)  ).
