My sister really wants the best for me. That's why she likes to impart charming little criticisms every now and then to encourage my personal improvement, to ensure I am the best that I can be.
One of her latest crusades has been this blog. You see, apparently, I was much funnier and more interesting when I was overseas. Now I am actually entirely in agreement with her on that one, however her other gripe is that I am far too open, that I give too much information.
("No one wants to KNOW when you have you period Maeve.")
ETC
ETC.
So, in honour of my dearest littlest sibling, I would like to share with you all the things you did not want to know about me. Cringe on, little sister! I have no sense of privacy and can't see that changing any time in the near future.
1. I smell my clothes (yes all my clothes) to see if they need washing.
2. I am very content on the toilet. I like how relaxed one can be. I sometimes have a little nap.
3. If we are friends, I have thought about what it would be like to have sex with you.
4. I have also probably talked to you while on the toilet. I do not understand why this is a problem.
5. I really like squeezing pimples and blackheads and sometimes I daydream about having a really hideous skin disease that I could squeeze and pick to my heart's content. I hope I never DO get a skin disease cos there would be scarring.
6. I ate beetroot last night and my poo was purple this morning and I wondered whether the friend I fed beetroot to for dinner also had purple poo but I didn't ask her.
7. I bite my hands. Not just nails, but cuticles, tops of fingers, and knuckles - both sides. I have tried to stop many, many times, but I can't relax in social situations unless I am biting them. Which is crap, cos I look entirely un-relaxed when doing so.
8. I pick my nose. In private. Well, mostly in private.
9. I like eating food with my hands. In private. Well, mostly in private.
10. Once my friend Anastasia and I decided after drinking a little too much of the cooking wine that the secret ingredient in our cooking was our own saliva (cos we tasted-tested everything and double-dipped). We then spat in the meal we were making for our friends.

- For maevegobash: yeah, I just like thinking/writing/talking about myself. That's what blogs are for, right? For vegepalooza: I have been vegetarian for 25 years now - so that's always for me. My mothers cooked a storm up in the kitchen and I am carrying the torch filling my friends bellies at every opportunity. I love food and want to share my recipes, tips and tricks here to encourage creative vegetarian eating. There will also be a lot of vegan recipes for my friends with more willpower than me (sorry kids, I just love the cheese). Anyway enjoy, feel free to criticise and most of all Happy Eating!

GOLD Maeve, I wholeheartedly approve of your honesty.
I also must concur with #1, 5, 6, & 8.
Beetroot poo/pee never fails to amaze me. so much more exciting that my usual toilet offerings. Does anyone not look before they flush I wonder?
Also, I happen to think you are always charming, adorable and funny, so be damned little sister.
