3. My pinkies (little fingers) are crooked. Both of them. They have been from birth. My Evil

5. I want to lose an entire person.
   
6. I cannot eat mozarella cheese since being on SureSlim put me off it for life.

19. I used to be obsessed with Eeyore (from Winnie The Pooh). I have a large box of Eeyore items from panties to pencil erasers.

30. I used to take piano lessons in primary school, but gave it up when I realized my fingers are too short to play the more complicated pieces.

32. I have a brother that's not really my brother, he's sort of 'adopted'. He's not legally my brother, nor by blood but we have a brotherly-sisterly bond. He'd save my ass in a heartbeat and I'll do the same for him.

43. I am afraid of the dark.
    
44. I can't stand drinking water. I really should, but there are a lot of things I should do that I don't believe I can achieve.

46. Speaking of Woolworths, I refuse to purchase anything from a Woolworths store based on the principle that they cared more about money than about me.
    
47. I am a realist and DO think that South Africa is being run into the ground. I do not, however, plan to run. I will wait it out for a while and see what happens.
