1 Im a giant person. 5ft 11 1/2" with a big Finish potato farmer frame and big plates of meat (feet). People think Im teeny when they see photos of me and nearly die when then they meet me.. It wasn't fun at the first school dance, all the Catholic girls had to sit on one side of the hall, and all the Catholic boys on the other, boys would come over to the girls side and ask for a dance..(cruel of the nuns to devize this torture for the poor boys, the room became the arena of humiliation if a girl said "no" and they had to cross back over it in defeat)... I only got asked by one 16 year old, and when I uncoiled myself and stood up to my 5ft 10 height at that stage, the pimply weedy 5 ft 3 boy ran away.. Needless to say I danced by myself the entire night.. hence the birth of independence. (LOL LONG number one.. better than a looong number two! ha ha ha.. potty humour already!!!) (ffffppt* ooo sorry)

2 Ever see a Labrador puppy that gets all manic when thrilled, and the tail wags so much that it knocks everything off the coffee table? Well, thats me! Im clumsy.

3 Im a hopeless romantic. Hopeless..

4 Serial monogamist.

5 Straight.

6 Yes they are my own cheek bones, I didn't "buy" them! LOL

7 Cant say the same for the boobicles! (Although about 3/4's are mine!)

8 Mums nickname for me was "Gardenia"

9 School "friends" used to call me "Baby Huey"

10 Have 3 brothers and a sister and three grandmothers.

11 Ive lived in the public eye my entire adult life in Australia (since I was nineteen) and I dont know what its like to have a normal life! Blllhhhhhrrraaaaaaggrgrghghghhhhhh LOL

12 When Im away from home working at a convention, please leave me alone before I have my breakfast. I need time and solitude to rev up to speed. Thats the only time Im "mean" so watch-out! LOL

13 Im sickeningly jolly at home before breakfast.

14 Im not a night person and rarely go out.

15 I dont drink or smoke or take drugs.

16 I hate exercise..

17 I just got my Greencard this week.. which is BEIGE!! Why?

18 I was raised and educated in both Sydney Australia and London England. Ahh, that explains it..

19 Wish I had a boyfriend.

20 Want to marry John Cusak!

21 Would love to have a radio chat show.(Those who know me will know why)

22 Fav JUNK food = Bakewell Tarts ...and ... peanut butter and apricot jam on buttered toast! YUM! Um, but not all at the same time! At least an hour apart!

23 Was married for 6 months when I was 21.. Did a Britany!

24 Still have the same two best friends Ive had since 19. Mari Vendrame and Stuart Cameron. Both Aussies. Stu lives in Connecticut and Maz lives in Steak n Kidney. (Sydney)I thought Stu looked like Daryl Hall when I met him.

25 LOVE Monty Python humor. (fart) More tea Vicar?. (burp) And the address!

26 My real name is Diedre Platterbottom.

27 Ive become claustrophobic since having to endure a full plaster head cast twice for my character 'Zhaan" in the TV show Farscape. It absolutely horrified me and the side-effects haunt me. Its like being buried alive in concrete!

28 I love homemade Anzac biscuits. (Australian cookies)

29 I have been meditating since I was about 13.

30 I cant play tennis nor hit a baseball.

31 I used to LOVE dancing and would take classes every day in Covent Gardens at the Floral St Dance Centre with Arlene Phillips as my teacher. I wasn't very good, but I LOVED it!

32 I am lying about my real name.. It is Virginia Hey! LOL

33 Why doesn't John Cusak call me?

34 Im a big wous when it comes to swimming in the deep sea! Im afraid of the deep dark water! (Shark territory in Australia!)

35 My toes are like little fat sausages.

36 I can speak 4 languages .... and all of them are English! (Cockney, Aussie, American and Queens English)

37 I once thought that a thong was a rubber sandal, and was horrified when I heard two girls talking about their new "thongs" rubbing and chaffing their butt bits in the water when they went swimming!!!!!!!

38 Im very very very reclusive naturally, (seriously), but have the ability to switch into extrovert easily, un-aided and quickly.. So I made a living out of that talent! LOL

39 I dont wear any make up when Im not working or "on". In Australia I often get twits saying "Oooo, you dont look like you do on the telly!"... My answer is "Well this morning I didnt have the lighting man following me around with a giant arc light and two make up artists painting me for an hour and the hair stylist teasing and spraying my hair and putting pieces in it.."...Grrrrrr

40 I dont like answering the phone and almost never do!!! I find it intrusive! weird huh!

41 Had my first kiss (peck really) at 9 in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship on its way to England from Sydney with my whole family aboard.

42 HATE HATE HATE sealed-in hotel rooms with no window that opens, and the horrible recycled air unit that cools or warms the stale filthy air.. Arrggghhhhhhhhh! I often have to move hotels because of this.

43 LOVE LOVE LOVE Hagen Daz Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream...

44 Dont like talking on the plane, I like to read and be left alone. Dont know why, its just the way it is.. LOL.. So dont be offended if Im seated next to you..

45 My mothers name is Coryl.

46 One of my beloved fur children is called Heckle, and one that passed was called Jeckle, when he was alive I used to think it would be funny to have another three kitties named Hyde, Seek and Destroy! LOL

47 Im an eye girl... Love men with slanted or exotic eyes.

48 Loved that UK TV show "Cracker"

49 I used to wonder what it would be like to bite Ben Browder's bum.. Ahh, those black leather pants with those botty mounds like two freshly baked loaves.. Um, did I say I was an eye girl? Well Bens Butt is the only exception!

50 I remember when there was NO TV in Australia!! We used to listen to the radio! (I was very little!)(honest)

51 I dont have a car and I live in LA!!

52 Yes I can drive.

53 I love Labrador doggies and really want one one day when I grow up and have my own house. Growing up we had two goldens at different times, and I managed to convince my parents to call them both Kim.. (???)

54 I have written two books, One filled with love-poetry called "Treasues" and one on romantic notions called "100 Romntic Ways", I haven't published either and I wrote them in 1993.

55 I once dated a king. Dont ask! (no, not Elvis! LOL)

56 I dearly wish I could tell you the REAL DIRT about me.. LOL You'll have to wait till Im in Heaven, then that book will be released! Hee hee..

57 Im not obsessed with John Cusak, but I wish he would call me! Or swing by West Hollywood to have a tea with me at Elixir.. or have breakfast with me... um.. at my house.. ooo, did I say that or just think that! LOL

58 I had a deeply religious vision when I was 14, if it was the 13th century I would have either been sent to a convent to become a nun, or burnt at the stake!

59 This was our house number in the first house I ever lived in as a child in Coogee Beach Sydney Australia.

60 My mother and I went to art school at the same time. She had completed 2 years of Fine Arts before she had children, she waited till I was grown (I was the baby) and then went back and completed her degree at 60 years of age!

61 My mother and I had the same operation, on the same day in two completely different countries unbeknownst to either of us till later.. It was a hyatis hernia and we dont know to this day who had the real condition and who had the "sympathetic" condition! Deeeee doooo daaaaahhhhh dooooooooooo duuuuuummm (Close Encounters music!)

62 I have my own signature perfume that I want to launch. Its called rei.Kii Im going to start looking for an investor and would like to launch next year. Got a spare 70K?

63 I am an advanced level 3 reiki practitioner. I studied it way before Farscape. No one knows that! Thats why "Zhaan", my Farscape character, seemed to be filled with Spiritual energy, I channeled it through, that part wasn't acting, it was real! hee hee.. (Sorry if that sounded pompas, wasn't meant to be..)

64 None of the Farscape cast or production knew that I had multiple certificates in Natural therapies, ReiKi and energy healing. They didnt ever ask me, it was not ever discussed.. My secret till now!

65 I cant spell.. its a misteree.. hav no idear Y..

66 Mum gave birth to me when she was 41.

67 I was only 6 pounds.. I SURE made up for being so tiny then..

68 I have very fine hair.. My sister got the hair gene, her hair is so thick hairdressers run a mile..

69 I am the lightest sleeper and I have not EVER gone to sleep and stayed asleep the whole night. If I ever marry a snorer I'll... well.. I could never marry a snorer I dont think, not unless we live in different houses! (Do you snore Mr Cusak?)

70 Im going through menopause.. God is NOT a woman.. It is NOT funny.. think PMS and times it by 10, there are times when there is a tension that makes you feel like your emotions are in a vice.. No night sweats, but, lucky lucky me, whoopeee, I got panic attacks! Thanks God! Caused by the see sawing hormone drops and hormone cold turkey.. (DO NOT TAKE 'PREMERIN' IF YOU ARE MENOPAUSAL, IT IS MADE FROM MARES URINE AND THE PROCESS IS HORRIBLY CRUEL TO THEM, THEY ARE SHACKED UPRIGHT AND CANT MOVE (LIKE BATTERY HENS), AND LIVE THAT WAY WITH METAL CONTRAPTIONS ATTACHED TO THEIR BLADDERS.. ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR PLANT ESTROGENS. PHYTO-ESTROGENS.)

71 Im about 15 pounds overweight.. Where is this weight coming from?? I eat less than I ever did and pile on the weight.. God is NOT a woman..

71 and a half Found out that estrogen is also stored in a womans body fat, so in menopause when the ovaries no longer produce estrogen, the body stacks on as much fat as it needs to create the alternate supply.. So THATS why MOST post-menopausal women are over weight.. Ahhh.. OK.. Ill go get my bakewell tart now.. (reacting to all the groans) wot? Its medicinal!

72 I got a cheque for $96 Australian for my Zhaan merchandising for 5 years for the sale of Zhaan t shirts, DVDs, posters, mugs, photos, key rings, trading cards, figurines, games, video games, books, VHS, etc etc etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lani framed his cheque!!!!! After tax and commission I bought a meal with the money. (Grrrr)(1...2....3....4...5...6...7..8...9...10 Feel better now)

73 Hate G Strings.. (thongs) Do you REALLY like wearing G Strings? They are bum floss and NOT hygienic surely.. Peeee-uuuuuw!! Soooooooo uncomfortable.. And... whats the point? Why wear them? Isnt the function of underwear to cover you, protect your bits and to provide a hygenic shield? What do g strings do except thrill men who glance at them! ... Wot? (reacting to everone groaning at me) well.. its true if you think about it!

74 Dont like coffee, its too bitter... Im not addicted, I guess thats why I dont like it. I will, however, drink it socially with LOTS of sugar milk to take the bitter edge off.

75 Something very satisfying about a good poo... wot? Well, admit it? Read a magazine, settle in.. its fab! LOL

76 I have alot of crystals around my home, love them.. The big chunks of real and natural crystal like Rose Quartz, clear quartz, tourmaline, Amethyst, celanite (looks like moon stone and is VERY good at healing ills), Apophilite and Aragnite.. NO NOT those HORRIBLE little twee anal shiny faceted crystal cats and figures.. aaarrrggghhh, thats torture to an artistic person, (mean no offense).. its like making me look at children painted on velvet, or plastic covered sofas, or frilly teenie Laura Ashley floral print living rooms or plastic flowers... arrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sorry, dont mean to be judgmental, just being honest about what my eye doesn't like........ The other eye is more tolerant!

77 Why cant American restaurants put the egg ONTOP of the toast at breakfast.. And what is with the soggy fried potato strings slapped in a huge mountain on the plate smothering it.. I like an egg ontop of a piece of buttered toast for brekie.. and a cup of English Breakfast tea, yes, with milk in it.. NOT lemon..

78 Im celibate.. (Only because Im not in a commited love relationship)

79 Men tend to not like me romantically, Im told Im too giant in stature and intimidating, men prefer teeny girls with squeaky chipmonk voices that make them feel he-manly. LOL

80 I had warts on my fingers when I was a kid.. Horrible damn things. They dissapeared in time for me to look pretty on dates thank God!

81 I cant sleep with the sheet tucked in at the bottom of the bed, I HAVE to kick it out and free it to make some space for my sausages! LOL.. I cant sleep with both feet contained in the bed, I have to have at least one foot out of the covers. (???)

82 I used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day!!!!!!!! I had hypnosis to stop 14 years ago, and now whenever I smell smoke I have an instant profound repulsion. I am EXTREMLY aggravated when people smoke anywhere near me, I value my air and my lungs and resent being FORCED to smoke along with them.. sorry, but thats a fact!

84 I dont like Chillies, they burn and the sensation is one that perplexes me, why would you not want to taste your food at all and have the only sensation you experience be one of scolding heat frying and burning your GIT.. Sounds like torture to me! I presume that chilli eating is some sort of elitist ego driven pursuit. One upmanship.. who can eat the chillie without flinching.. Id rather stick pins in my eyes!

85 Love the sea air .. and the sound of the waves.. Its like listening to nature breathing.. VERY calming! I used to always take my troubles to the sea as a teen (and beyond) and have the soothing sound wash my angst away..

86 I dont take sleeping pills, or any medication for that matter. I try to heal naturally. I take echinacea when Im traveling .. and lots of vitamins. When I get a cold or flu I take Golden Seal along with echinacea, it is a natural Antibiotic and the only antibiotic that doesnt give me billions of pimples like a heat rash. Im allergic to ALL modern antibiotics.

87 I teach meditation these days and find that a sleep meditation is better than any medication.. (I always wake up later on in the night though, its just the way Im wired!

88 Still keeping myself for John Cusak, did you give him my phone number?

89 I miss the yoghurt we have in Australia.. Our second language is a combination of Greek and Italian, so we have the BEST food.. The greek yoghurt is VERY thick, gluggy and creamy and not thin and slick and shiny..

90 HATE those pants that hip men and boys wear that have the crutch below the knees and the bunched up bottoms that drag on the floor .. Ha ha, I saw a man who thought he was SO cool and 'rap' at the airport the other day..Bless him.. he had on the hanging pants that expose a foot of the boxers, and have the crutch below the knee and the legs that bunch up at the bottom.. He was late for his plane and had to run... well, LOL LOL LOL, he couldn't run, he was hobbled by his pant's crutch sitting below the knee, so he had to waddle really quickly with very very little staggered steps like a baby with a huge nappy.. VERY stupid! Who on earth ever told guys that girls like the look of all that hobbling and material.. We like to look at a mans legs.. Ahhh.. back to the thought of Bennies Butt!....

91 Bright yellow is dreadful on me.. I look green.. I have Scandinavian yellowy gold skin and bright lemon on me clashes.. Bit of trivia for you! Are you bored yet?

92 I LOVE hats.. No not twee girly "day at the races" hats, or "do I look coquettish" black veiled cocktail hats, I like funky earthy peaked golf caps and pull down hats.. Cant explain, Ill just have to show you one day.. Ill take a photo..

93 Marvin Gaye I love you.. "Whats Going on" and "Lets Dance" are the finest of all!

94 I used to want to marry Sting till I saw Trudie in an interview talking about the fact that one of the things that keeps their marriage strong is that they enjoy "Swinging".. And she didn't mean the 5o's dance style.. I spat out my tea like a fire hydron and nearly fell off the sofa.. That crashed all my respect for him out the window.. How revolting.. and what an excuse for cheating! Sorry, only speaking my mind, dont sue me. Cant keep my Zen over that. sorry..

95 I dont like coloured bath towels... Only white.. Theres something very clean and fresh about a bright white bath towel..

96 I LOVE nature.. Its the mightiest stress buster that there is.. I love to just sit under a tree with my back against it and let the buzzie energy of nature heal me.. Aaaahhhhhhh.... bbbblllliiiiisssssssssssssssssssssssss

97 India Arie's song "I am ready for love" (from her first album) makes me cry EVERYTIME I hear it.. God its the most beautiful song Ive ever heard, and really touches my soul and my loneliness for a lover/companion. Have a listen, that the REAL me, thats Ginny talking through her............

98 My favorite flowers are Gardenia and Frangipani and Oriental Lily.

99 My birthday is 19th June 1952 Born 3.50am in Sydney Australia. Im more of a Cancer in my old age.. I used to be more Gemini in my crazy youth however, but did not ever take on the trait of infidelity that Geminis are supposedly famous for.. Im a REAL homebody!.. But when Im working I can flick into the Gemini spark and dazzle and child-like energy..

100 My dream is to own my own home near the ocean that has a lovely wild English garden for Heckle, Pumpkin and I to just hang in the sun together in.. and to have an artist studio attached to the house.. and to build a meditation centre in the city for folk to come and de-stress at.. My dream! Also.. Aussie actors are all poor, we dont get residuals, merchandising or royalties.. So Im hoping that my White Flower Lei beautifying products will help me achieve my dream in this land of milk and honey..God Bless America!

The end.. or is it the beginning!
