A Facebook meme. I think they are supposed to be random, surprising, amusing. Mine turned more exposé, hence it’s posted here, not on FB.
1. I am 28
2. I have suffered from two major depressive episodes, and a few minor ones. I accept that this might happen again so now instead of pushing back I look for ways to live round it.
3. I don’t mind the idea of not existing, but I am worried about death being painful.
4. When waiting for the tube, I am paranoid that someone is going to push me onto the tracks (see above).
5. I have two body piercings and a tattoo.
6. I lost my boy virginity at 14. It wasn’t a very good idea.
7. I lost my girl virginity at 18. It was an excellent idea.
8. I have lucid dreams, like the kid from Waking Life.
9. I am fascinated by psychedelics, but sometimes find them challenging. You have to be comfortable inside your own head. My mother thinks all drugs = escapism; she is wrong.
10. I never want to stop learning.
11. I want to have children, and already feel a sense of loss knowing that if I do a good job bringing them up, one day they will out-grow me.
12. I have started writing a graphic novel about fish, and a thesis about post-evolutionary psychology taboos. I wonder if they’ll ever get finished.
13. When I was 14 I told my chemistry teacher I would rather have a job I liked than good pay. Last time round I got both – now I am spoilt!
14. I am a control freak, and I am guarded with strangers (aloof). It wasn’t until my mid-20s that I realised these things.
15. I make a mean toad-in-the-hole.
16. I have been to high class orgies with wall-to-wall Champagne, cocaine and beautiful people, and only ever had an alright time.
17. I have fallen into bed with friends, pissed and giggly and wearing mismatched underwear, and always had an amazing time.
18. I once sustained concussion giving head in a bathroom in Bangkok (with a bellyful of whiskey and speed).
19. I don’t own any bathroom scales.
20. I read the Dao De Jing when I was 21, and was amazed that someone had verbalised what I felt about life.
21. My favourite novel is The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo.
22. Martha Gellhorn is the famous figure I most admire, and probably the writer who has most inspired me.
23. I try to be honest with myself. This blog is a tool in that process.
24. I like who I am.
25. Life makes me smile.
Cheese sammiches and sex 
18.) That must hav e been some head 🙂
