5 things about myself

A friend invited me to write 5 things about myself so here they are:

1. My favourite toy growing up as a child was a cute pink hand-puppet of a cat with blue eyes. I rarely took it off my hand. One day my grandma made meatballs for the thousandth time and I threw a tantrum smashing my little kitty on the plate, making its eye fly out and disappear. I never found it again, as much as me and my grandma searched for that blue eye... Maybe I ate it...

2. I am terribly shy with people I don't know or haven't seen for a long time that I try to avoid any contact with them. Because of this, I appear to be snobbish, cold, or simply a big jerk, but I'm just anxious of what to say, how they see me, etc... My shyness streak made me wet my pants at the age of 15, wetting the floor of my grandma's best friend, because I was too shy to ask to go to the toilet (or too stupid). I returned home wet and worried, pretending I fell in a puddle of water... I haven't got the courage to look at the lady in the eyes ever since...

3. I have the memory span of a goldfish. I used to be much better at remembering things, but nowadays, I easily forget. Or my memory is selective...

4. People think I'm skinny, but in fact, though my limbs appear to be thin, I have breasts and a beer-belly (although I don't drink beer that often...) I blame my mother for feeding me chicken all the time...

5. I wouldn't hold back when challenged, even if it means I'll get my ass kicked in the process...

I call En-Lighted and Aenaos (and anyone else who'd like to fill the remaining 3 invites) to take up on my challenge and write 5 things about themselves that I didn't know or wouldn't dare ask. GO!
