ABOUT ME

i am very friendly but some people misunderstand my dry sense of humour! i am not good with gloves. i once had a pair of blue leather gloves lined with rabbit fur. (yes they were quite hideous) and they were cursed. everytime i wore them something bad happened. i try to lose them but they always return. i think they are like jumanji gloves, they will chant at some kid till he picks them up, then he will turn into a rabbit boy. maybe. erm. thatll do.

PHILOSOPHY

its nice to be important but its more important to be nice.
my nan told me that.
my other gran says
´chacun a son gout´
which means each to their own.
hmmm
