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.
