I vaguely remember being told off for taking off my christening bracelet and leaving it outside when I was somewhere between the ages of one and a half and two and a half years.

I clearly remember watching Bosco (Irish preschooler TV show of the 80s) and seeing Marion or one of them trying to sweep with a brush with a curved handle. "This is useless!" she exclaimed. I didn't know what that meant, so in I toddled to my mother in the kitchen. "Mammy, you're useless!" I exclaimed, in order to find out what it meant. Apparently it meant I got sent to bed for being cheeky. I don't know how old I was but probably two or three.

And a definite dated one: I remember what I wore when I went to Australia (a few weeks before I turned three) and sitting on the suitcases in the hall with my mother singing "We're all going on a summer holiday" and everyone being very excited.

The Rules:

1. People who have been tagged must write the answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new, original question.

2. Tag five people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you. Bollocks to this! Do it if you feel like, guys. (I'ma total rebel, amn't I?)

The party was fantastic, so fantastic I am tempted to burble at (probably incoherent) length... so have some bullet points of things that were win instead.

So a big thank you to die_fleiderhat for inviting me! I *do* like your tweed, sir!

I am thinking of giving it a go next summer. (I'll find the days off somewhere...)

Anyone want to pimp me their group? Especially if you can come up with a plausible way for me to wander in already connected to someone in it so I have less to panic about.

Anyone want to RP it by email or IM, let me know.

I know it would be better to do it in uptime, but I won't be playing very much at Parli and (silly me, but I can't help it) this is sort of OC upsetting me even though I know it's perfectly justifiable IC reaction to IC actions, and I'd hate to spend the few hours of play I get being upset.

Help me out, give Arden an earful on the internet? :)

What a nice weekend!

Thank you to everyone who made the awesome weekend awesome, and congratulations and best wishes to Taz and Helen.
