SO MY INTERNET IS CURRENTLY DEIGNING TO CONNECT FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS EVERY THREE MINUTES. This is a problem. Please magically fix yourself before my data analysis is due, Internet connection!
Today, I met Graham Rawle, author of Woman's World, an awesome novel constructed entirely from words and phrases cut out of 1960s women's magazines. I gave him a high-five.
Because everyone in the world has posted it and I'm curious (obviously you need answer this only if you particularly want to):
What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since beginning to read my LJ (or when you met me in real life, for those who have)? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head?
(Alternatively, tell me of a time your common sense has completely failed you. I have attempted to dry clothes after washing by hanging them in the wardrobe. I have turned a knob clearly labelled 'front right' and then spent fifteen full minutes trying to fry a piece of turkey on the front-left hob. My exchange with my father the first time I tried papaya went as follows:
Riona: I find papaya quite unpleasant.
Riona's Father: Okay, well, if you don't like it, just -
Riona: (catching sight of the plate in front of her father) Oh, are you not supposed to eat the skin?
Riona's Father: ...
Riona's Father: (cracks up)
Please share your tales of being an idiot so that I may feel less ashamed of myself.)

How I used to think earphones (not the in-ear earphones like I have now) had to go RIGHT INSIDE and wondered how anyone could use them because they were so painful?
And, you know, I pretty much misread or mishear something every single day of my life. I misread the title of one of my favourite songs in the world for two years.
