7 interesting things about me (well, at least semi-interesting):

1. I took singing lessons and entered competitions (wearing my Doc Martens) when I was in my 20s. Singing opera. Needless to say I don’t sing any more, except to my iPod and not opera. I actually still like opera but these days I’m a bit more alternative.

2. I am a gadget girl (surprise, surprise). Love my iPod, my iPhone, and my PC. I’m now after an ereader.

3. I play computer games. Not so much these days now I write, but I used to love playing The Sims and any fantasy adventure game. I also quite like playing Halo on the xBox (but only with my friends whom I can shoot).

4. I used to swim competitively in my teens. And I hated it (though I still love swimming for fun) which is why I quit.

5. I can ski moderately well. A fact that continues to surprise me whenever I put on a pair of skis as I’m useless with most sports!

6. I love reading Science Fiction. I have umpteen dozen beginnings for many SF stories but never finished any of them. Combining SF and romance would be the best. Sadly M&B have no SF Romance category.

7. I travelled quite a bit when I was overseas years ago. The most unusual place I went to was St Petersburg for two weeks. This may or may not be interesting but I don’t meet many Kiwis who have been to Russia.
