1. I drink, on average, 8 pints of water a day. I feel very ill if I don't
2. I think giraffes are the definitive proof of evolution.
3. I do not like the indian dessert “Rasmalai”. It tastes like Tofu in milk.
4. I appear to always be attracted to men who would be very very bad for me in real life, and who everyone else would find incredibly irritating. It's probably best I'm single.
