Seven.

I was reading the manchizzle this morning and have been infected by the command to write seven things about myself.

1. Most who read my blog know that I am co-owner of a dog named Nigella Lawson James, who has a profile on facebook. Even though the profile is obviously written from the point of view of a dog and even though there's a picture of Nigella the Dog and even though her surname is James...a disturbing number of people think that her profile is the official profile for Nigella Lawson, the tv chef. I get email requests for autographed books, recipes and so on nearly every day. My dog has more friends than me.

2. I have a large collection of finger puppets, mostly animals but also a yoda, R2D2 and Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street.

3. As I am currently unemployed, my day begins at 11am and ends around 2 or 3am. I do not like this. I want to keep hours with the rest of the population, but can't seem to get my butt out of bed in the morning.

4. I have a sister-in-law named Cecile, a cousin named John Wayne and a great uncle called Johnny B (the B doesn't stand for anything). My great aunt was called Tea-gad and my great grandmother was Winnie. My grandfather was named Elmo.

5. I love eggs and could easily eat them for breakfast every day for the rest of my life.

6. I'm currently on a diet of my own creation which involves not eating cheese. That's it. No cheese. I've lost 3 pounds, which tells you how much cheese I normally eat.

7. Yesterday I applied for a job in London. If they were interested I'm not sure what I would do, having no connections down there. But I really liked the sound of the job as an assistant editor in publishing, so I couldn't resist.

I'm tagging a few people with this meme, namely lazy perfectionist, adam christopher, bowes industries and springtree road!
