1. How and when did you learn to swim?
At school. My primary school had a pool then it got demolished and every year after that the entire school would go by bus to a public pool. (I enjoyed the bus ride the most.) Despite all this, I ended up in the “so crap they need to have extra lessons” group at intermediate. I HATED swimming classes at intermediate. The pool was freezing and somehow my class always got first thing in the morning to use it. This question brings back some bad memories!
2. How and when did you learn to drive?
I don’t have my full license yet so I guess I’m still learning. Actually, I learned something today: it is very, very easy to forget to turn the lights off and flatten the battery of your mum’s car. And very, very embarrassing. I learned from my parents plus a few lessons from an AA guy.
3. How and when did you learn to tie your shoelaces?
I don’t remember. Before I started school, I think.
4. How and when did you learn to cook?
From Mum, mostly. Not that I can cook all that well, but I can do a lot of stuff with cheese and my baking is pretty good.
5. How and when did you learn to type?
I don’t know. Just picked it up by practise I guess.
Five vices…
1. Indolence
Aka laziness or sloth. It can take me hours to get up in the morning if I don’t have anywhere I have to be. I’m just generally lazy, like most people I suspect. Although I think I’m getting less so, except for the sleeping thing.
2. Procrastination
‘Never do today what you can put off tomorrow.’ Depends what it is, but I find it’s better to just get stuff out of the way, ‘cos I’m a worrier and it’s less stressful that way. In theory that is.
3. Secretiveness
Haha. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
4. Escapism
I don’t think this is a vice unless indulged in to excess, but it’s something I’m quite prone to.
5. Child sacrifice.
Don’t worry, I’m kidding. I just couldn’t decide on one. Greed, materialism, slackness, immorality, impiety, worldiness? Purposelessness sounds good. I don’t believe anyone has a predetermined purpose, but it would be nice if I could come up with one for myself.
LOL! Formatting FAIL!
I KNEW you’d mention child sacrifice! How could you NOT!
I am using too many CAPITALS!

I know. But I couldn’t be bothered fixing it before. It looked fine when I clicked publish. I just copied and pasted from your page and then changed the words. I’ll have a go fixing it now…

Don’t you like WordPress? Lol, I can see why it’s confusing, somehow I think it’s easier to work in the Code view tab, so you can see exactly what’s causing your problems and making stuff look weird.
You’re secretive!? *dons detective outfit* Although, I’m not sure that being “secretive” is really a vice/fault. Sometimes I think it’s good to keep things private.

True, I wouldn’t say secretiveness is even often a vice, let alone always. Depends what it is I guess, and why you’re keeping it a secret. In fact, is secretiveness even a word? Secrecy? Lol.
Yeah I ended up pasting what I wanted into the code box but I forgot to put the link in and if I go back and do it now I bet my line breaks will vanish again!

I have no idea! I don’t THINK it is, but secrecy doesn’t really sound right in this context either! Darn it, where’s Brooke when you need her?!
The line breaks shouldn’t disappear again once you’ve set them up in the code view, but who knows…stranger things have happened! o.O
