since i won't be posting tonight i might as well respond to the meme back at mb's.
i don't do memes but i think i can share five things about me nonetheless.



1. as a kid i would always bring home tadpoles and earthworms. i wonder why mum would never let me keep them
2. while i played basketball i never missed an official match for 6 consecutive seasons and scored at least two points on every single match
3. i can knit and crochet but haven’t done any of either for years
4. i donated blood several times yet i can’t stand the sight of blood
5. i never wrote anything resembling poetry before 2005

I would imagine you have been writing poetry forever!

Funny it is when we become aware of our abilities. Perhaps there more hidden treasures to be found.
Lepih ... Polona!

I can totally see #1 based on what you like to photograph! I too am amazed about #5...because you are so talented. Too bad you don't live closer...we could start up the first female photographer basketball league. :-)

Very interesting, especially your choice of things to share.

It's always nice to known more than just the utmost front side of a person - I did on my old weblog the meme 100 things of me (unfortunately it's in Danish , maybe I should translate it sometime...)
If understand this correct your #5 was withhold by #2 ?

A short story! But a good one...!:)

andrew: ah, but i'm (more or less) normal... :)

amalendu: what's ordinary for one person may be extraordinary for another... thank you.

neikka-neikko: hvala za obisk. dobrodošla in le še pridi!

margie: but it's true :)
i may have discovered that talent late but i'm happy i have.
many thanks!

trinitystar: hvala.
yes, it is kind of funny how different talents/abilities appear at different times... i guess one has to be ready to be able to make the most of it...

pat: thank you! (great compliment!)
may be hard to believe but it really never emerged before.

matt: thanks (see comment to margie)!

don: glad to oblige. thank you.

mmm: thank you.
female photographer basketball league sounds like fun (too bad my years... erm... knees don't allow me to play anymore)

masago: just some random facts...
thank you.

charlie: you're my kind of man (too bad i like cats) :o)

ashi: 100 things? wow, that's a lot! #2 and #5 are not really related... there were quite a few years in between.

borut: a story? you had to reveal my secret, didn't you!

Polona, I'm glad you picked this meme up. I really enjoyed reading these tidbits about you. That first one made me chuckle and think about the days as a child I spent outside, too! Beautiful sky.

I like how diversified you are, Polona. It blows away the misconception of what a quality writer is. And even though I've known you are "new" to this form of poetry, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! :):):)

mb: it was fun to do. thank you!

aurora: thank you as always for your kind words. i'm glad i discovered poetry, albeit late, and i'm really enjoying it.:)

Arh! You did make a listing Polona.
She thinks you and a down to earth person ... if you say you never wrote poetry before this date.
you are very good.
