Ooh, I've so many things to say - like I didn't know you'd had your tummy button pierced.
But you know, you didn't have to stick to my questions - either I've done it wrong, or this was just 100 random things about yourself
(Come to think of it, it's almost certainly me who got the wrong end of the stick - I just listed 100 random tings about myself! Oh well, I'm sure the blog police will let me off just this once!)
I'm feeling really saddened and shocked because I've just this minute heard that Steve Irwin has died. I loved his energy, passion and enthusiasm. I am feeling for his wife and two little children.
Steve Irwin was such a larger than life, charismatic person, he's done such amazing things.
I can't imagine what it must feel like to lose someone in such a random way.
God's been hearing a lot from me in the last few days...
And I copied yours 'cos I didn't have the imagination to come up with my own. There just 100 things to know about me!
x
I love your 100 things! (A few of the make me feel 'normal' -e.g. the pinching money for sweeties thing)!
I secretly want to do another 100 things about me ... how self-indulgent is THAT?!
I am really sad about Steve Irwin - feeling for his wife and children. I hadn't watched him on TV for ages - but was taken aback by his passion for wildlife and, well, life, 6 years ago when I first saw him. I LOVED that passion; that joy. He was a 'once seen, never ever forgotten person' , that's for sure.
And here I am, thinking I should clean and tidy up and not able to motivate myself..
