1/ you are afraid of? I'm terrified of pigeons, anything that flaps really, but they scare the life out of me!

2/ you want to learn? I'd love to learn how to be a great writer, though I don't think it's something you can be taught!

3/ you do not understand ? I don't understand how relationships work, and I fear I never will, why people have to play these games, why can't it just be easy, and fairytale like *sigh*

4/ you can do very well ? I'm a good thinker, I getlost inside my own head sometimes, I love thinking!

5/ you cannot do at all ? I can't speak French, I was taught it for five years at school, and I never picked up anything, I was hopeless at it, and it was the only subject i failed!

Chin up Sal, French is easy. Just speak out ur nose and spit on the people you talk to. Throw in an "Ay" or "on" at the end of every word, pronounce the "ble" at the end of words like possible, and assume an air of smug artistic superiority at all times. really, there's only one expression you need to know in French and its "je ne sais pas".

Love Dyl xxx

1/ you are afraid of ? Ducks. They have a vendetta against my family. The cute little ducklings would waddle past everyone at uni, being fluffy and cute, then turn and his at me. I kid you not. And a few weeks ago my Mum was playing golf when a duck ran out of the rough, nipped her on the heel and ran off again. They hate us! (Maybe it's because I think they're so tasty?)

2/ you want to learn ? How to be true to myself. How to not simply agree with people because it's easier. And how to Morris Dance.

3/ you do not understand ? Most things, but why we choose to continue doing things which are bad for us (relationships, smoking, poor food habits) when we are so aware of the effect it has on our lives. Our basic masochistic urge.

4/ you can do very well ? Cook. Sing. Hug.

5/ you cannot do at all ? Anything requiring co-ordination. Or saying no to that last drink which renders you an incoherent, babbling idiot.

floozie, that duck thing is horrible !. i once got chased by two huge ducks and i was terrified !. and that was only once !. i can't imagine how traumatised you must be if that happens to you all the time. ... and what is "morris dancing" ?, i have never heard of that. do you dance with men named "morris" ?

Everyone laughs, it's ok, I'm even tempted to laugh myself! I can't really explain why, it's the whole flapping thing, and what if they come near me, and flap near my head or something, it's a totally irrational fear, but I actually runaway from them! Or they could poo on my head, that's another bad thing, and it's happened once! Yes, laugh away, hehe! I don't like any kind of bird, I can't even feed ducks, one chased me the other day, I was terrified! Moths, butterflies, my mum! Anything flappy, keep it away from me!

Mig you are so lovely, I think I'm going to adopt you as my blogging Mum! (even though your far to young for that

) That's my biggest dream to be a good writer, and I'll keep trying at it, I just don't know if I have that natural talent!

1/ you are afraid of ? Nothing. Not kidding, I really can't think of a single thing I'm actually afraid of.

2/ you want to learn ? To speak fluent Spanish. I speak a little, read a bit more. Would like to be fluent.

3/ you do not understand ? Women.

4/ you can do very well ? Critcal thinking and problem analysis.

5/ you cannot do at all ? Skateboard. Even as a teenager I always wanted to skateboard without busting ny arse. Lousy sense of balance.
