Seachain an duine a bhíonn ina thost

Sam has tagged me, so now I have to try find five things you might not know about me.

I have a strange desire to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a sailing boat.
I don't think I'd enjoy it in the slightest, but I can't fathom quite how big it is until I cross it by boat. Flying really isn't good enough: you look out the window for a few minutes, get bored of looking at nothing and start watching the in-flight film.

I'm officially a Talented Youth.
I used to attend Centre for Talented Youth Ireland summer school things. I went for three years in a row, studied Decision Maths, Evolutionary Economics and Computer Applications, and made some of my best friends there. Sam says it's funny watching me saying Centre for Talented Youth because I quite clearly expect people to mock me when I say it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not embarrassed or anything, I'm just expecting to be mocked.

I have thrown up on the inside of a tent and slept in it.
What a party that was. Afterwards, Mum told me I'm a horrible child.

I used to be good at athletics.
I nearly set a triple jump record in my school, but I was in the 'minor' category at the time, and minors weren't supposed to do triple jump (doesn't start until you're a junior) so there was no record to beat. But my jump was further than the junior record. I also did lots of middle distance running, and was Senior Girls cross-country champion in my final year. Now I'm just lazy and unfit.

I don't like almonds.
This is mostly because they taste bad, but also because they taste and smell like cyanide. I think I've read too many detective stories.

I'm going to tag Ian, Vicky and Dafydd because they haven't blogged for a while.
