Nine things which are true and one which isn't

31 August 2004

- I have only 29 items in my email inbox at work.

- My middle name is Ermintrude.

- There are 5 different types of cheese in the fridge.

- I'm wearing fishnets (no, not just fishnets, sorry).

- It's my birthday today.

- There is a three-headed dragon sitting on top of my monitor.

- I have survived without an internet connection at home for 16 days.

- I am 28.

- I learned my lesson last year and didn't end Friday night's drinking session with Baileys.

- My new smile has turned into an excessively enormous grin.

I don't care that I think that's the one thing that isn't true. I will now endeavour to call you Ermintrude at every available opportunity...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sad to see so many falling for the old "It's my birthday today" routine, Ermintrude.

(Aw, g'wan then: Happy Birthday!)

Just joining in the cavalcade of Happy birthdays.

_5_ different types of cheeze? You metro-girl Ermie.

So the big question is..

Magic roundabout?

Not that I doubt your abilty to learn lessons, but surely not one that's related to alcohol . . . and do you also expect us to believe that you've restricted yourself to only 5 types of cheese . . . and, by the way, wearing a skimpy hat doesn't count as wearing 'not just fishnets' . . . so given all this, it must be the title that's wrong . . . was it a good birthday then?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're all very sweet (except those that have taken to referring to me as Ermintrude, or variations thereof - you lot I'll deal with later ;))

For those who still haven't figured it out, my middle name is not actually Ermintrude. It's far more dull and boring than that, as anyone who remembers at least one of my previous blog incarnations will know.

In answer to other questions:

I have (only) 5 types of cheese in the fridge because I've only just moved in and don't want to terrify my flatmate by making her think I'm some sort of jekyl/hyde, part-woman, part-mouse cheese freak. Well, yet at least.

You, Si, should know better, and also google knows all and sees all, and I've had at least four birthdays while blogging, so it's not difficult to check back :-p

Also, of course I'm alive. You don't get rid of me *that* easily.

Hats do so count.

... and yes, I had a very good birthday.
