Sharon I live in a very small place and from Xanga (where I blog, once in a while) I had stalkers who went so far as to put nasty ads in the local newspaper. I've also had a very unpleasant man actually turn on the island (that was from ICQ), so these days I'm a bit more circumspect about my location.

If I could be a flower I would want to be a giant red rose growing high up in Ecuador, where they are from.

I would never be an insect because in general, I don't think that the value of the life of one is appreciated! Imagine how many casually get zapped everyday!
I'm building myself up to a marathon! I ran the London 10K for charity yesterday, it's 6.2 miles. Such a great feeling crossing the finish line! Also seeing the thousands of participants and supporters who turned out to support their charities.
