This is the hardest one I've had, but if I didn't do this then you'd be subjected to a long streams-of-consciousness rant that means not that much to anyone but me (you may still get that tomorrow :D ). Anyway - five random facts about me, I've really struggled to think of any, but I came up with a few classics in the end.
1. When I was 13-14 I was a member of the Kajagoogoo fan club (I had the biggest ever crush on Limahl).
2. No.1 notwithstanding, I didn't have any teenage rebellion till the age of 32 (Interestingly, this (the lack of teenage rebellion, not the silly but rather fun thing I did at 32) was something that through my counselling I realised is very significant in the scheme of things when I think about the issues I have difficulty with now).
3. The most profound thing I think I've ever written online was shortly after I joined Ship of Fools 3 years ago and was taking part in the Nativity Play in the pivotal role of Sheep 1. It was the night when the baby Jesus was born (I suspect Smudgie might well remember it!), and in real life I was out that evening so wasn't really able to take part. But I made sure I logged in just for one post before I went to bed, where I posted something along the lines of "Sheep 1 wanders in, peeks at the manger and wonders if he's missed anything important". I was rather proud of that.
4. I can sing the entire soundtrack of "Little Shop of Horrors" pretty much word for word.
5. I once screamed (or more accurately squawked) "Waaaaahhhhh, it's Jason Donovan!" when a friend and I happened to be walking through Leicester Square during the London premiere of the Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman film "Far and Away" in, ooh, about 1993ish. My friend just looked at me like "I can't believe you just did that", and I was soooo mortified because I couldn't believe I'd just done that either, it just kind of came out. That same evening we also saw Ricky (Rickaaaaaaay) from EastEnders, and we saw Paul Daniels cross the road after using the cashpoint.
