10 Reasons You Should Cling Closer to Me Than a Limpet
1. I'm so oblivious that your insults and jokes will fly right past me (you can snigger to my face).

2. I don't do flattery or fawning (brown is not a good color on me).

3. What you see is what you get (unless you're short-sighted, in which case I can't help you).

4. I won't steal or borrow your fancy tech gadgets (wouldn't know how to use them, in any case).

5. I'm a voracious reader (snacks and tea always welcome).

6. I was a mosquito or vampire in a previous life (haven't figured out which).

7. My smile is identical to the Cheshire Cat's (maybe the body, too, though I'm not orange or striped).

8. I never get bored (you won't have to worry about entertaining me all the time).

9. I'm willing to try almost anything at least once (almost is the operative word here).

And, of course, that mixed blessing,

10. I'm the evil wielder of the red pen (what? I have to explain this?).

    Sounds like the perfect marketing pitch for Tea and Books, the Wind-up Editor. Where can I get one?

    Much better! Not too sure about mosquitoes and vampires though, could you elaborate maybe?

    Vampire - co-dependent or what? No worries, between the two of us we'll keep the bookstores in business...

    yep - tell it like it is. life is so much simpler that way. and as for book shops (yes, I know - one cannot start a sentence with the word "and" but there you are - I am hopeless at grammar). I knew my husband was the one when he would take me to bookshops as part of our dates - what a guy. :-)

    I'm glad you don't do #2. The meaner you are, the better.

    Lurv the Ghandi quote. I hope to visit Durban in South Africa soon. There's quite a bit of Ghandi history there.

    Lol, Sarah. Thanks for posting!

    'Tea and Books, the Wind-up Editor.' I like that title, so much so that I'm appropriating it, thanks so much! And I'm right here! Approach me at your own caution. :-)

    'Allo, Fuff, PK! I enjoy medium-rare (more rare than medium) and steak tartare... does that explain the mosquito/vampire reference? ;0) I know, I know, a bit obscure. :-P A bit of an inside joke among friends and family.

    PK and mummified: Oh, yes, absolutely must have my books, your books, all books. :-D

    mummified: Hurray to you for having found a definite keeper of a hubby! (Does he have a single, like-minded brother perchance? ;-) ) And, no, I don't do arse-kissing. Blech! :-O

    Hullo, Doris, thanks for stopping by! :-)

    Oh, mean. I definitely do mean. Around the office at any rate. :-) And wow! to visiting Durban -- business, pleasure or both? :-)
