I’m picking up the latest meme and sharing with you all three little known truths about me, as well as a great big lie. See if you can guess which is which.

  1. When I left school, I wanted to be an economist. I was only saved by not having taken any maths subjects in grades 11 and 12, which meant I didn’t get accepted into the economics degree I applied for.
  2. My phobia of public speaking lead me to choose subjects at uni based on whether or not they had an oral assessment component. The thought of speaking to a group made me break out in a cold sweat.
  3. I love the beach. It’s my favourite thing about living on the Coast… My house is five minutes walk from the water and I wish I had more time to spend down there.
  4. I have a bad track record with wine and laptops. The first mishap resulted in a completely fried machine, but it did teach me a thing or two on how to handle future incidents. As a result, the next time I knocked over a glass of white in the vicinity of my sister’s laptop (which I borrowed after killing my own), I managed to save the day with a hairdryer and a pedestal fan. I only had to replace the keyboard that time.

  1. Number three is a total lie. You wish beaches were made out of concrete or is that someone else I know?

  2. Beach, beach, beach. Don’t know why…just don’t see you as a beach bunny. Or an economist for that matter…

  3. I’m voting for 2. I think there’s a few of us who were quiet as children who now speak up on stands more often.

  4. lissy and kathryn have it… i *hate* the beach. ick. yuck. sand. ew.

  5. huh? So you STILL don’t like public speaking???

  6. hey hoi – just one lie in that list (the one about the beach). i don’t mind public speaking at all these days…

  7. lol, I see no-one picked 4? I like the beach more so in winter….

  8. I spilled an entire bottle of drinking yoghurt over our MacBook (and the couch, wall, floor, partner) a year or so ago…ended well but I still haven’t been forgiven.

    Coincidentally, I was shanghaied into walking from Surfers to Broadbeach along the beach today. He’d better get it out of his system now cause there’s no way I’m doing that in summer!
