Another New Year, and don't we all just love making lists? I read the Seven Things post on Random Acts of Reality and just could not resist doing my own. It beats a list of New Year resolutions by a mile, because although the list of resolutions will be broken and obsolete by March, the Seven Things will remain true for the rest of 2008 and beyond. Basically, just put down seven things about yourself which are true but not normally known by others, even your best friend.
As posted on Random Acts... here they are:
1. Long ago, I walked into the Queen Mother. Literally.
2. I am terrified, to the point of frozen immobility, of wasps.
3. Coriander was put on this earth just for me. Thank you God, even if you don't exist.
4. I really, really hate most modern architecture, and I am an architect. What went wrong? 5. I love the film 'Performance' but can only watch it on my own, when everyone else is out or asleep, with the same guilty feelings I get when eating chocolate.
6. Although I'm a laydee, I don't like shoes.
7. When it snows, I have a strange compulsion to make a snow penis.
Now, dear reader, do confide in Alice. What are your Seven Things?*
Keep it clean. Yes, that means you.

About Me
- Alice
- I am a registered architect and a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, which also stands for Remember I'm the Bloody Architect. I practice somewhere out in the sticks, living off the bottom of the architectural pond, on tiny loo extensions with the occasional biggy if I'm lucky. Architects in general aren't a respected profession, like a doctor or a vet, even though the training is seven years or more. I think its because a lot of them are either so arrogant they can't be bothered to explain, or they are self effacing to the extent of being invisible. There are a lot of DIY idiots out there who call themselves 'architects' but they're not, and give us solid gold, true to the core architects a bad name. That's enough about me.

Theres quite a few of you doing this.I think its interesting.
I love 'bumping into the queen mother.'
That is one lady I would have loved to have met.
I think I might give this a go now.
You clearly have a bit of a dark side, that could be scary.
1. I always ask myself... what if? often at the most inappropriate times!
2. I've spent the night with the Queen Mother (thats all your getting)
3. I'm crap with sentimentalism
4. I nearly cried at the end of the Xmas "Extras" when he was talking to his friend from the BB house!
5. I never tell anyone that the Trueman Show is my most fave film. ooops!
6. I can't say No the chocolate... I just can't. I've tried.... and I can't!
7. I've sat on the throne of England.
1. I sleep with my head sandwiched between two pillows.
2. I find people dressed in animal or vegetable costumes the funniest thing in the world. No matter how bad a mood I'm in, I'll crack up.
3. I love pickled onions and will eat them a jar at a time.
4. I hate non-pickled onions.
5. I always choose a pot too small for what I'm going to cook.
6. I never have and never will like anything coffee flavoured. I thought it was a phase. It's not.
7. My earliest memory is nearly drowning after falling in a well when I was two.
