Exciting Things (& meme)

Imagine my excitement yesterday afternoon when I peered over my plant pots and found not just one sign of life - but three!



My peas are growing! I'm so excited! I have two in one pot and one in another. Three of the other pots are growing grass (no, not that kind of grass) for some reason. It's all very exciting. I have created life in a pot - insert evil laugh.

As well as that, we are currently awaiting news on a house we might want to rent. It's by the beach - not the very pretty beach but a beach all the same - and there's plenty of places to walk the dogs, and it's close enough to town for me and Jem to walk so no need to worry about buses. We just have to wait and see if they allow pets. Then I might allow myself to get a little excited. So far I'm playing it cautious. What are the odds we'll find the right place within a week of searching? Don't these things usually take more time?

My guilty-pleasure-excitement has to be Big Brother. I think I've only escaped it one year. This year I'm as hooked as ever. Weirdly, I can't pick a single one of them who I like enough to want to win. They're a strange bunch (as always, I suppose) who are fun to watch but I don't really care very much about what happens to them. In other years I've got really into it - even going so far as to complain to Channel 4 when they tried to portray a housemate as a rapist with some really bad editing. I used to watch that year's live stream so seeing the edited shows at night was quite an eye-opener to how Big Brother is edited to make characters and create stories. So now whatever I see I pretty much know isn't really what happened. Probably why I don't care much for the housemates cos I know what I'm watching isn't really a real person. Anyway, at the moment my favourites are the twins. Ask me again in a week, though, and I'm sure there'll be another answer.

A meme, cos I was tagged by Gen, and you know how I can't say no to a pretty face.

Rules:
1) Post the rules then list 8 things about yourself.
2) At the end of the post, tag and link to 8 other people
3) Leave a comment at those sites, letting them know they've been tagged, and asking them to come read the post so they know what to do.

1. I want to adopt all the parentless children in the world and have done ever since I can remember. Long before it became the in thing for the celebs to do. When people would look at you funny and say, "You'll change your mind when you're married."
2. When I was fourteen I stopped breathing on an operating table and nearly died.
3. In the last year, even though I haven't put on any weight, my breasts have grown three seperate times. Which I didn't think was possible at the age of twenty-three/four.
4. There's a gay man living in my head. He's called Tajar. And he writes my books with me. He also stars in his own novel ("Soul Mates").
5. I always get goosebumps and an urge to cry when I am forced to watch any kind of talent-show on TV. Music affects me in a way that isn't normal. People's dreams getting crushed along side it just makes me a wreck.
6. I can run a household like a housewife who's been in the job for forty years. I think because I did it straight out of school and my brain was still in learning mode. And I'm proud of it even if it isn't seen as a real job anymore these days.
7. My stomach makes noises all the time. Ever since I irritated the lining of it with paracetamols.
8. In February 2004 I "found" God. Now I can't understand why people say He doesn't exist when the evidence is all around. I'm not a freaky religious person; I beleive people should find God in their own way at their own time.

I don't think I have eight people to tag so if any one else wants to do this then please feel free :)
