1. I have a history of silly medical visits... I have had dozens of splinters in my feet after swinging on the Hills Hoist and landing on an old table, have had a moth removed from my ear in hospital, and had my tongue surgically removed from my braces... Noice.
2. I have worked in a library, teaching (ESL) English, in Local Government, in retail, in customer service, and even been a Tupperware lady!
3. I bite my nails. It's utterly disgusting. I have done it since I was 8 or 9 years old and wish I could stop. Apparently it has something to do with anxiety?
4. My nick-name at school was Stressica (perhaps linked to point 3 above?)
5. I love starting things but rarely finish them, and have UFOs from years ago. As an example, I started making a mohair bear for my niece when she was in utero, I made the head, and go sidetracked - she just turned seven...
6. My thesis at Uni was on children's play, in public and private spaces, and how accessible and welcoming they are (or are not)... I planned many play spaces for kids, and despite being told they would never be funded, was delighted when the Ian Potter Area at the Melbourne Botanic Gardens was built (I had nothing to do with the project, but eerily there were many ideas friends and I had discussed!) It's a great place to visit - have you been there?
I'm not tagging anyone - but if you've stuck around and read through all this, then You Are Tagged Too!!!

I got to the end and I'm still chuckling about number 1...especially the tongue and braces..too funny!
I've just posted my 6 yesterday. It's fascinating to learn little tidbits about each other.
How cool a job is that? Children's play places designer!! That would be some job description to put in your passport.
Hey, so not worried about when the parcel arrives - am just thankful that tere is one coming!! I am so with you on number 5! I am a great one one starting things off with a hiss and a roar .... then dragging them out forever .... but they eventually get there.
children's play designer sounds very interesting...we have nothing here for little ones because the big ones keep trashing it, out town council are refusing to put them back together now......oh and the rant could go on, but I won't!
When I get the time I'll have a go.
Thanks for you nice comment on my blog! I'm not even going to ask you how you got a moth stuck in your ear!! As far as the UFO's go, I'm the same way, I've got drawers full of them.
I think my favourite is the mohair bear head - I love it! I had braces too - but how you get your tonuge that caught up it has to be surgically released is hilarious (sorry!). Thanks for playing along - it is fun to learn a bit about you.
I love the Ian Potter Children's garden! I've taken my Bug there and have used some of its ideas in our home garden.
