Who?

I am the sort of person that squeezes the toothpaste in the middle of the tube.
I like standing in cold running river water in bare feet,
and warm muddy puddles in boots.
I like brussel sprouts and honey-water,
but not fish or coffee.
I delight in yellow shoes!
I love the prickly feeling of wet hair drying in the sun,
unsticking from my skin and blowing away.
I think sand and rice feel very nice while tomato plants feel nasty.
I read children's books and the patriarchs
with equal satisfaction.
I never cut cake in squares.

I might never know who I am,
but I know I shall always squeeze the toothpaste in the middle of the tube.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, I say. More entries, please! Those of us whose total meaningful human relationships take place on the internet and ALSO don't have their own blog need it even more!
