Not Always As They Meme

I got tagged. People usually reveal this with an air of weariness. I am delighted and have been long anticipating the moment when a fellow blogger knew of me and was curious enough to tag me. Fluffy, you're a goddess (and note her exquisite use of the C-bomb).

Thus... 20 Peter titbits:

1. I am tremendously proud of both my brothers.

2. I am scared my astonishingly low boredom threshold and short attention span will prevent me from ever being really good at something.

3. I am the best car boot packer I have ever met.

4. I hate one-on-one conversations, get nervous when one is imminent, and try to avoid them.

5. I cry when I think of The Dees winning a Premiership.

6. I can add columns of times (eg 1 min 30 sec + 3 min 55 sec) really quickly. (= 5 min 25 secs).

7. I wish I played more tennis.

8. Marvin Gaye's What's Going On is my favourite album of all time. By a long way.

9. Me and David Bridie once spent an afternoon at the Merrijig pub drinking beer and watching our Dees beat Footscray.

10. I have been picked up on a bus and taken home by a girl solely because of the jacket I was wearing (she told me this). The flipside of this is being converted to boxers after having my briefs laughed at in a romantic situation.

11. I have composed and refined over a number of years my Best Actor/Screenplay Oscar speech. I will thank the Nomads for teaching me what drama is all about. They know who they are.

12. The Redhead is the most loving and caring person I have ever known.

13. If I don't spend a significant amount of time (at least one year) living in Italy I feel I might regret it for the rest of my life.

14. I have no idea how to look good in photos.

15. I have quite a shocking temper.

16. I wear a mouthguard-type thing to bed to stop me grinding my teeth together. Mouthguards of this style have become universal television shorthand for "totally unsexy and non-romantic" - see, eg, CrashBurn and Six Feet Under Season 2.

17. I can't set foot on a beach without going for a swim.

18. I once snapped cruelly at Jellyfish on Elgin Street. I regretted it immediately but I actually think it made us better friends.

19. I have all the Tintins, many of them in more than one language (I don't even need to speak the language because I know pretty much exactly what's in each speech bubble).

20. I have a lemon tree called Lionel.

Tagging HandcuffedLightning (if only to get her off her arse) and Adam 1.0 - he intrigues me.
