Now for the moment you've all been waiting for! Drum roll, please...
The illustrious list of all lists! The next installment of my personal alphabet. The M - Z of Me! YAY!
Oh okay, it's not that exciting. Sniff. But since I've already regaled you with the A - L Of Me, I may as well finish the thing.
So here we go:
M : is for Mum. These days I totally understand why my mother often said "She went mad and they shot her!" in response to my brother and I's frequent cries of: "MUUUUUUUUUUM!!"
In addition to being a mum of three boys, I'm also MARVELOUS and utterly MAGNIFICENT. Modest, too.
Oh yeah, and I'm married to a bloke called Mick. I like to call him Mickey Blue Eyes. He does have blue eyes, so it makes sense. Moving on.
N: Now, this is a hard one. Snorts. Nah. Clearly it's for Ness. Which is my nickname. And the reason for the name of this blog.
O: Isn't it OBVIOUS? I'm OUTSTANDING.
Look, a bit of a 'dad joke' never hurt anyone. Except that one. Oops.
And there we have it. The O word that sums me up: OOPS.
Also, I'm quite odd. You may have noticed that. Case in point: I have certain obsessions: Cakies and Carpenters. Yep. I mentioned I'm odd.
P : is for pretending. I pretend that I'm normal, but you've already caught me out with the odd thing. See above.
Q: could be a quandary for many folk. (Do you see what I did there?) But not for me. Because I'm quiet. Also; quirky. And very quaint.
R: is for reading. I love it. Additionally, I enjoy rainy days. I'm reserved, often in my little own reverie and frequently ravenous. I do tend to ramble a lot here. No, I have not been reading the dictionary! Whatever gives you that idea?!
I would also like to believe that I'm much more resilient these days.
S: is for shy. Which is a shame because I'm truly SENSATIONAL. And you may have noticed that I always descend into self-deprecation. Sigh.
Seriously though, how do I stop that? Should I?
Then there is the fact that I'm a scatterbrain. I think I'm a weird cross of sweet and sarcastic. Not sure how that works. Perhaps it doesn't. I don't know.
T: is for teatotaller. Is that how you spell it? Anyway, I drink A LOT of tea. A TREMENDOUS amount of tea. I'm also very truthful and trustworthy. That's something.
U: is for unassuming and unpretentious. That's just the way I am. Totally unique, thank you very much. So ner.
V: is another hard one. Except it isn't. Because my name is Vanessa. Ness for short. I suppose you could say I'm kinda 'vanilla'. But people tend to forget what an exquisite flavour vanilla can be. Vanilla ice cream? Yes, please. Vanilla cupcakes? Now we're talking! What's wrong with a bit of vanilla?
W: is for woman. Pretty sure I am one. And I'm often wistful and whimsical. Two wonderful W words. Wow.
X : is for xylophone. Which has nothing to do with me. I've never played one. I've xeroxed some things and had a few x-rays, does that count?
Y : is for yodeling. I can't do it, mind you. Unless you count my enthusiastic singing along to The Lonely Goat Herd whenever I watch The Sound Of Music.. Yodelay heeee! Yodelay hee heeee!! Join in! You know you want to.
Z: is for zoo. Well, I have been to one or two in my time. Plus it often seems like a zoo around here. Meanwhile, I feel like a zombie, so there's that, too.
Aaaaand, we're done here!
Cue trumpets, fanfare and fireworks!
Look, I'm just trying to liven things up around here. You got a problem with that?
Over and out.
Can anyone really think of anything about themselves for the letters X, Y, & Z?
