7 things meme.

The 7 things meme is about sharing a little of yourself with your online friends. It asks participants to share 7 things that people are not likely to learn just from reading your blog. This meme represents my first official ‘tagging’ and I have to admit I’ve enjoyed every part of the experience, particularly reading about the lives of others I’ve ‘met’ online. I was tagged for this meme by ‘thepoet’

1. I’ve never been able to click my fingers. Every time I reveal this to anyone they say, “It’s easy, you just click them together like this,” and they proceed to show me...as though it had never occurred to me before to actually try it like that!!!! I repeat, “I can’t click my fingers!”

2. I tend to be a very positive person even though my life to date has been pretty much a train wreck.

3. I have great friends.

4. I trust my instincts implicitly.

5. My family is surrounded by mystery. A story of loss from my grandmother’s childhood has always intrigued me ... her father, Byron, disappeared without a trace when she was 2. He was on a business trip to Sydney. My Great Grandmother looked for him for some time but there was never any trace of him anywhere. Everyone stopped talking about it after that. Mum tried to trace him when she became an adult. Nothing.

6. My mother disappeared when I was 11. Just like my Great Grandfather. One day she dropped me off at school and said she had some shopping to do. I never saw her again. Creepy. I hope I’m not freaking you out too much. I’m pretty much over it now. (Almost) I know she’s dead.

7. I love reading and I think it’s great that my Mum and I were both named after fictional characters.
