- One of my favourite lines from a movie is Kevin Costner’s speech as Crash Davies in Bull Durham
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.” - I once gave up coffee, chocolate, wine and spicy foods for 2 years. 2 years is a long time. It was a long time for me and a longer time for those who love me.
- I have no tolerance for social elites.
- Despite possessing a pretty large vocabulary (the Readers’ Digest "Increase your word power" section never held terrors) I use a lot of swear words.
- A career advisor once suggested I become a nun. I’m not Catholic but I did attend a Catholic secondary school and was Diocesan Youth Coordinator for the 1987 Papal Visit so it was an easy mistake to make. I suggested as a teacher he might have done his homework better. This was the first time I answered back to an authority figure.
- I have a tendency to self-sabotage rooted in self-esteem issues. I’m working on it.
- I like quality ….. AND quantity.

Kate tagged me. I'm not passing it on. Here's a bonus thing about me - I never pass on chain letters of any description.

#5 was quite funny. Probably a good sign you weren't so supposed to be a nun since answering back to authority doesn't go down too well.
All that giving up, however, kind of says you might have been good at the self denial required!
I never pass on chain letters of any kind either. It doesn't matter if they are the ones that threaten bad things or promise all manner of good things. I generally find them troublesome and then I am afraid of alienating my friends by passing things on to them.
Yep I agree,I have a former Boss come sort of friend who sends on email chain mail and they always say to send it back to the sender as well as 10 Others? you have to be joking!
As for taggs ,most are fun and you can learn alot about people especially when they might in volved in yarn swaps!
I managed to give up coffee for a couple of years, but I haven't been successful with alcohol or chocolate. A girls got to have SOME fun.
Well, there you go, I had no idea you're a fan of Bull Durham - I LOVE that movie... I need to watch it again - soon!
I'm with you on the chain letter thing too - I mostly don't forward them, although if it's a fun thing sometimes I do.
You would have been a troublesome nun, inciting rebellion all the way! ;)
