r a n d o m

In the morning I am: nice n' warm, often grumpy & still wanting to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Worst statement: For me personally, that awful word "ginger" used to describe redheads in the UK - I hate it with a passion; it's uncalled for & sounds so tacky when complete strangers call you it. Apparently, discrimination against us redheads is classified as racism! That would be a nice little law to have since it's all about colour...
Who makes you laugh the most: Probably Paul O'Grady (English TV presenter/comedian for those who don't know) or some of the young teens from church - they're absolutely mad.
Who makes you smile: Any cute photos of any of the actors on my LJ interests list.
