But right this instant, I'm wondering what you QuickMatchers are not seeing from my profile.

fiddling with things

how quiet and in fact how painfully shy I am, though they have to be perceptive, since I'm hardly going to shout it, am I?

Ooh food! When it comes to eating, it's my favourite thing! I love Italian and the UK interpretation of Chinese food, though the real deal sounds a bit scary from what some friends in work tell me. I have also started eating more spicy stuff than I ever used to.

I have a fairly unsophisticated taste in books - Terry Pratchett, JK Rowling, Philip Pullman, Louise Rennison and have just been reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga books.

the future. And sometimes the past.

one day older than Thursday

OK, I'll fess up, I'm a transsexual woman.

In addition, I want to confess that I'm perplexed by the many people who say "message me if you want to know; it's too private to admit here"? The question isn't asking that, it's asking what you *are* prepared to admit! Grrr!

....you can string together something marginally more interesting than a one liner or even a one worder! And can spell.
