ELEVEN THINGS.

Thanks to Tasha for this fun meme that I simply couldn't resist. 

• If you could be a superhero, what would your name be and what power(s) would you possess?

Hmm, Given my initials how about 'Double T'? Or, long story involving my loosing one of Madge's wheels (Madge being my electric wheelchair for those of you who don't know), how about Tracy Three Wheels? The name by which several of my friends referred to me after the event. 

As for superpower(s)? I'd love to be able to teleport and be able to communicate with animals.

• What animal are you most like?

Whilst I'd love to be able to see a cat (super sexy and independent) in actuality I'm probably more like a sloth in that I move only when necessary and even then very slowly though I can move at marginally higher speed if in immediate danger.

• If you could live anywhere in the world, would you stay where you were or go somewhere else and where would you go?

All things considered I'm happy to live where I am though I admit that I'd love to live in Venice come carnival time and Germany come advent for all those wonderful Christmas markets. 

• Which character from a book, film or TV programme do you identify the most with?

Ooh that's a hard one. Too many book characters to decide on one, I'm going with the incredibly accident- prone Underdog of the National Accident Helpline adverts who, with his leg in plaster, a bandaged ear AND arm, my nephew insists is me. 

• If you had the ability to go back in time, which era would you pick and why?

Ancient Egypt at the time of the Pharaohs as I'd love to know just how advanced their medical knowledge was (or wasn't).

• Where is favourite place to go, currently, in the world?

Right at this moment in time? Carlisle. Only fifty or so miles away, I'd love to visit my best friend, Karen.

• What is your favourite/most vivid childhood memory?

Ooh, all of the games I came up with using the contents of my nana's button box.

• What is your favourite photo and why?

Not at all photogenic, there are not many photographs of me that I like, but I do quite like this one of me and Mr T which was taken on a cruise ship several years ago.

• If you could choose to live inside a TV/book/film universe which would you choose and why?

TV? Weaned on Coronation Street, some of the older characters actually feel like relatives, I'd love to live on a street like this. 

As for a book? The Thousand Acre Wood stories - I'd love to spend a day playing pooh sticks and, of course, giving Eeyore a big cuddle.

• What is the one thing you'd wish for at this given moment?

 A bar of chocolate - I haven't had any since mid-May.

• If the 'future you' sent you a short message for where you are now, what would it say?

In the words of Cyndi Lauper's True Colors I'd like to think the 'future me' would remind me ... 

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh I realize 

Its hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside of you

Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colours

And that's why I love you 

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow.
