Oh boy, what a day :) It involved more weight being added to my theory that guide dogs hate me, a camera crew on the station and the fact that people at work seem to have as rude minds as I have! Plus I really fancied some chips after work but I discovered a terrifying bunch of staff in the chippy :/ More on all of those tomorrow, methinks.
For now, I found this very inviting survey on the diary of the lovely Nicole which I thought I'd have a go at answering. And on the subject of Nicole, this entry made me giggle like a madwoman earlier! I'll never look at a duck in the same light again..... :) Thanks for the giggle, sweetie!
1. Are you an innie or an outie?
Innie, soon to be pierced (providing I'm not in pain on friday 'coz I'd be a bit thick to add to it, wouldn't I? :))
2. Have you ever worn bell-bottoms?
Never in my life!

Being the *only* non-smoker on the station in the mornings and getting trapped in everyone else's clouds, and people leaving the milk out the fridge at work. I mean, they leave it next to the hot KETTLE! It goes sour! What do they expect??

I beg your pardon?!! Oh, I see.... sorry, I've got a dirty mind..... Ahem. No.

It would depend on their reason for not liking them. if they'd beaten them up or something then, no!

No, life is too short to be unhappy just to try to please the masses.

Anything but sausage dogs.... I have a bad experience with one of those and an ex-girlfriend.... *shudders*
