And now, Gill thanks her parents for some lessons they taught her. I’ve talked about parental quirks, and parents my parents could relate to on TV, but I’ve never given a proper shout out to them for making me who I am today. Colour blind – My parents taught me how to make friends with …

Today’s Forecast
Time for another big ‘ol dump of Gill’s random facts. The map shows cloudy with a 100% chance of finding stuff out. India – A man broke two Guinness Book records, one for doing yoga on ice, the other for putting fish up his nose. Get some sleep – Ever spent nights tossing and turning? …
Cooking With Coolness
Gill has a few words about some of the international cooking she likes to do. It would have been nice if a few of those words were recipes. I have been to a lot of different restaurants of many different cultures, but I can’t always afford to try that new Indonesian place. That’s where the …
The Impact Of A Word
Gill has a problem with people’s language. I assume this would include some of mine, and that’s ok. I’ve never been one for banning words outright, and that’s not a position I’m likely to ever change or apologize for. It doesn’t work and it’s not that easy. It’s rare that a word or a thing …
Your First Memories
Gill mentioned childhood memories yesterday, and it seems it’s time to expand on that thought. Pretty sure number two is meant to show that not everyone’s early memories are happy ones. It’s a touch jarring. I often think about when I was small, and didn’t have to worry about the tough stuff. I am also …

The Less Common Assumptions
I don’t want this to come off as me doubting Gill’s experiences, but reading through this list of things she says are generally assumed about people with disabilities, I know how every sighted person who has ever said to me “People don’t really do that, do they?” feels. I am bemused, befuddled, and probably several …
Superheroes In Waiting
Gill has an idea for the world’s nicest superhero. Over a decade ago I thought about starting my own comic book. The main protagonist was going to be a mysterious individual named Dr. Cool. He/she would be standing up for all things good, kind, and right. Sort of like other heroes in other books, TV …
Things You Should Know
Gill has random factoids about everything else, so why not herself? Here’s some more stuff about me you may want to know. 1 Spirit animal – Chinchilla, who needs conventional bears or tigers? 2 Favorite color – Well there’s two, black, but not just any kind, the one that if in the right light looks …
