If you poke me, do I not bleep?

ABOUT ME

What to say, what to say... Born i '83, summer child, in love and hoping to remain that way for the rest of my life. Ticklish. Adores animals, truly adores them. Can spend hours watching a bird. Has a thing for reptiles. Really really likes the company of horses. Enjoys western riding. Loves to read, almost anything. Literary analysis has destroyed me for life. Thinks tv-series are very nice indeed, and so are a lot of films. Scared of people, especially if there's more than one. Enjoys teaching, as that gives me a tangible role (and I do so enjoy knowing things that others don't). Used to be dead scared of spiders, but some CBT cleared that up quite nicely. More or less. Oh, and dragons are love. And parrots. Don't forget the parrots.
