compile a 100-things-about-me list

26. I’m incredibly emotional. I cry a lot… but I laugh a lot too so that kinda balances it out :) And I get angry easily, which isn’t too great.

27. I hate it when I fall out with people. If I think someone is mad at me I get really upset and need to make it up to them as soon as possible.

28. I’m very clumsy. I’m always covered in bruises from falling over or walking into things

29. I’m quite into fashion. I always try and make an effort to look good.

30. There is nothing I love more than a quiet night in with my boyfriend. Having a nice meal, cuddling up to watch a good movie… and you can work out what happens after that ;)

31. I’m painfully lazy. Getting out of bed before 12pm is actually an achievement for me! lol

32. I like painting my nails bright colours

33. I always seem to have a cough :S

34. I have an insane sense of humour.

35. In fact I am a bit insane in general… apparently it’s the good kind of crazy though, so no need to run away from me just yet! :P

36. I want a pet kitten. Unfortunately my dad’s allergic :(

37. When I’m older I’d love to move abroad, although I haven’t decided where yet. It will be somewhere sunny though :D

38. I have an unfortunate tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time… which lands me in all sorts of interesting situations!

39. I have Bipolar disorder type II

40. I used to be agoraphobic. There were times when I hadn’t left the house for literally months… Now I can’t imagine not going out!

21. Beetroot freaks me out. It makes me shudder.

22. I constantly feel the need to change aspects of my appearance, but never seem satisfied with the end result. Right now I feel in desperate need of a complete makeover!

23. I like to cuddle :)

24. I tend not to face up to negative things and I just push them to the back of my mind in the hope that they’ll dissapear.

25. I’m always broke.

16. I would like to think that I’m quite linguistically talented. I sometimes use long and complicated words that people don’t understand. People have often commented on how I’m a little pretentious in the way that I communicate things (i.e. I can make something sound rather clever, when in fact it makes no sense at all. lol)

17. I think a lot. Perhaps too much…

18. I have a boyfriend who I am completely and utterly in love with ♥

19. I’m open minded.

20. I was born in Lyon, France. I also lived there for a few years when I was a child.

8. I’m at college studying towards my AS levels. I take chemistry, biology and psychology, and I do find the subjects interesting, but I hate doing homework/writing essays etc… I prefer learning in my own way, I’ve always been like that but it doesn’t seem to go down too well with the teachers. It works nevertheless, and I somehow always manage to get decent grades.

9. I suffer from depression and anxiety (yeah, like you don’t already know that lol). I’m supposedly getting better, but I still have bad moments too often for my liking. As soon as something goes wrong the first thought that comes into my head is how I’m going to kill myself. Urgh, it sucks! :(

10. I wear make up almost every day. I don’t leave the house without it. I like to try and look my best.

11. I’m a bit sex mad. Seriously, I can’t get enough of it! I think I sometimes tire my boyfriend out LOL ;)

12. I give up too easily (like I’ve just given up on this biology essay after about 15 minutes!)

13. I’m a hopeless romantic :) ♥

14. I’m immature at times. I like to do laugh at silly things and act like a big kid. Despite this, I can be mature when I have to be. I think I have a good balance there.

15. I always seem to be one of two extremes. It’s very difficult for me to find a “middle way” (does that make any sense? I’m not sure if I explained it very well)

And he’s recently turned 11 years old. Here’s a picture of us both taken back in 2005 (I think). lol I’m not quite sure why he’s poking my tummy and my head… he tends to do silly weird things like that :)
^{haha look how different I look there too!}

We’re quite close and spend a lot of time together, despite the large age difference. Actually, the reason I get on so well with him probably has something to do with the fact that I’m such a big kid myself! We don’t fight or argue as much as we used to, and if we ever do these days it’s usually just playful. I mean, he still annoys me at times, but who doesn’t get annoyed by their siblings every now and then?

He’s got a great sense of humour – He makes me laugh so much with all the silly things he does and says. He’s also very caring and sweet – whenever I’m feeling sad, he’ll always try to make me smile. I’m lucky to have such a lovely little brother! :D

I can’t believe how quickly he’s growing up though… as I said, he’s already 11, and he’s going to secondary school next year. Haha, in fact, I’m pretty sure that in a couple of years he’ll be taller than me! Then I’ll officially be the shortest in the family *sigh*

Aww, I don’t want him to ever grow up!!! :(

I am a very affectionate person. I need lots of cuddles to know that I’m loved and cared for.

Sometimes, when someone wraps their arms around you and holds you tightly for a moment, it says a lot more about how they feel than any words can.

1. I’m Gemma (ok, so I’m starting with the obvious here). I’m 17 years of age – and I’m going to be 18 in October! I can’t wait to be ‘officially’ an adult :D

2. I’m a lefty and proud! According to Wikipedia – ‘A common belief suggests that left-handed people are more intelligent or creative than right-handed people’ :) Not sure how true that is in my case, but it’s a nice thought.

3. I live in the middle of nowhere. It’s nice when you need some peace and quiet, but the rest of the time it is so unbelievebly boring…

4. I am easily irratated. There are so many things in the world that annoy me. I’ll probably come back to this in more detail later!

5. I have mastered that art of procrastination.
_{Oops, I just said that as if it was a good thing!}
I should probably have the goal ‘stop procrastinating’, but I think it would be relatively unachievable (for me). Too many people already have it anyway lol.
