Wow, you sound a lot like me (a true non-conformist)...what kind of novel are you writing?
ReplyDeleteBtw, I found this by means of your sister's blog, which I know about since an older sister told me about it...
Nice!!! I'm also a pianist, love percussion, love chai-lattes, think cello is the most awesome-sounding instrument, and am writing a novel (I'd also like to know what your story is about). Can't do a Rubik cube, tho'. :-( As to being a 'non-conformist'- bwahahaha!! I'm on the dangerous side of that (me 'n' Tahlia... the girl who just posted... we're partners in our insanity) I look forward to reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteI can say ditto to about 50% of that. I started writing comments on all of them, and then realized it would just look like this.
ReplyDelete"Ditto."
"Cool, me too!"
"Yeah, totally agree!"
"Yes!"
So I'm just going with ditto times 12 and 1/2. :)
Thanks, guys...my novel is, like me, classless. It's a bit of a thriller, or rather, that's the closest thing to which it could be compared.
ReplyDeleteA definite non-conformist list! I've got to say that tea, British-spelt words, EXTRA dark-chocolate, emerald green and lava lamps are things I love too though!
ReplyDeleteYES, I think Most guys look absolutley Ridiculous in flip-flops!
It was neat reading your list!
