Late to the meme as always, but...

10. I was born with HUGE ears!

Like the sun shining through my ears on an old photo kind. I wish I had it here so I could show you all the
horror. They were seriously huge. However my Mother had them pinned back so now I have two lovely
discreet scars on the backs of my ears. And one I can part the gristle.

9. I was also born with a squint eye!

My eye was seriously squint. This too got straightened out ant the Royal Eye Hospital in Manchester. To this
day I can still taste the awful concoction of medicines they gave me in a little tub. It was the worst thing I've
ever tasted.

8. I "OD'd" when I was younger.

Once, whilst at my grandmother's, a cousin of mine and I apparently swallowed a whole host of pills and
medecine designed for the older lady. Anyway, we then were promptly taken to hospital to have our
stomachs pumped.

7. I once had a close call with caustic soda.

So there we were, a friend and I, playing in his Mother's car before school when we found a bottle of
Lemonade. I mean, it looked like Lemonade and had a Lemonade sticker on so what could possibly go
wrong? A little argument ensued over who would have the first swig. I, being the "guest" of the car, thought I
should. He, being the "owner" of the car pulled rank and took a swig. Cue a gag and a keel over holding his
stomach and I realised it was probably best not to drink it. The boy of course ran into the house screaming. I
got out the car and went to school. He went to the hospital.

6. Beautiful Katamari was my first Katamari game.

This sucks so much as everyone says the others were so much better. I just haven't gotten around to it yet
so one day, I will. I did just buy I love Katamari for the iPod Touch though. S'alright, I guess.

5. I once managed to drop a brick on my own finger.

How this happened, I shall never know. From what I can remember a friend and I were playing on a local
green when a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighbourhood. I then
decided to confront them with a brick I found to scare them off. The next thing I knew I had dropped the brick
onto my own finger and shattered my nail completely off. There was blood everywhere and I ran off
screaming. Will Smith never did that. To this day confrontations are bad, and I always remember that brick.

4. I am still Time Lord's bitch.

Ever remember an NES game called Time Lord? It was pretty unknown, I think. However I still remember it
to this day, because it was the first game that I couldn't beat. I can't remember too much about the game
specifically. other than you are a time traveller that has to collect orbs, but I do remember that the orb I was
stuck on was a bastard. When you walked near it, it went up, when you walked away from it, it came down.
There were no platforms around to jump from, and no visible way to collect it. It left me stumped.

3. I've never beaten the first Zelda game.

My favourite game series has and always will be The Legend of Zelda. But it was not the first Zelda
game that made me fall in love with it, but the second. My first Zelda game was Zelda II: Link's Adventure
and boy did I love that game. That was my first game ever and from then on it's been a slippery slope to
where I am today. But throughout all these years I have never gone back to beat the original. Why? Simply
because Zelda II was my first, and it always will be. I will never beat the original, for if I did, I'm afraid it would
destroy the Universe. I'm saving all of you!

2. Today is the first day I've officially had a "Snow Day".

Never before have I seen so much snow in my life! I mean, I've seen snow and played in it. But that was only
ever a few inches deep and was never enough to have school cancelled. Today however, all trains have
been cancelled meaning I have actually been snowed in. It look slike something out of a Christmas movie.

1. I once beat some kind of UK Nintendo Champion...when I was six.

So my memory of this is actually very hazy. I Vaguely recall playing someone, however the story was retold
to me some years ago. Apparently I was in one of those Toys R' Us stores, with the demo units, playing
the NES with some older kid. The game we were playing is never known but it was something competitive.
My brain wants to say Spy Vs. Spy, but only because that would be epic. Anyway, he beat me the first
time, but then I beat him a couple of times. He was getting pretty annoyed with this. He was visibly getting
frustrated. Overly. When my Mother, I think, mentioned this to a random person in the crowd they said, "He
should be upset, he's the UK Nintendo Champion." The UK Nintendo Champion? Getting beat by a six year
old? Well I can't for the life of me remember, as I was so young, but it apparently happened. Or so the legend
goes...
