My people 45 x 365

The challenge: a year profiling people I have known, using a word count equal to my age. I'm taking weekends off!

Janet

In Asia, Janet thought she should be given a 10-minute headstart on meals. Vas and Jenny had brought travel-forks, while I had invented the “chopstick diet” as a teenager to slow my gluttony (instead, I became a chopstick maven while my waist-and-other lines continued to expand).

I bet you can do some pretty cool tricks with those chopsticks.

This post made me hungry. We should ditch this festering hell-hole for an hour some day soon and go for lunch.

Lolololo, not to the extent that I can enter a buskers' festival, unfortunately.

mm: It's such a festering hell-hole we should probably ditch it for more than an hour. Maybe a lifetime. Until one of my get-rich-quick schemes succeeds though, I guess we'll have to make do with your one-hour birthday lunch next Friday.

I'm pathetic with chopsticks.

I had sushi yesterday (this post's day) for lunch, chopsticks included. I own chopsticks, thinking I'll use them for this very reason, Helen—to slow down and not eat so much. But when I actually bother to use them, then I can't get the last bits, and I run for a fork or spoon...

I had no idea what a buskers' festival was until I read this post and googled it.
Are you going to N.Z. to attend?

No need to travel so far and wide, we have one right here in Kingston!

chopstick issue can be easily solved - go to Thailand. Great food, and sensibly they use fork and spoon or fingers!
