    Its all about me - 39 - 43 9 months ago

    43> I love a nice cold Gin and Tonic
    In a tall glass with a slice of lime….. Mmmmm. Bombay Sapphire!

    42> I have a cactus called Bruce
    So named in the honor of a good friend of mine that unfortunatly died before his time.

    41> I constantly touch and play with my hair
    Nervous habit? perhaps.. all i know is i must do it a lot because its a long standing joke in my department.

    40> I own about 20+ pairs of converse [in various states of dissaray]
    Most of them have small holes where the heal is connected because i pull them off with the other foot before undoing them properly.

    39> Im shockingly indecisive
    I sometimes wish i could go through life with an 8 Ball that just says YES an NO or flip a coin and just go with it.

    38> I have a pretty sick sense of humour.
    Ive been told, and i have to agree that i have a very sick sense of humour, I guess i laugh at things i probably shouldnt – deal with it – and move on! I mean yeah sure i can be kinda sarcastic, but generally im nice person, what you see is what you get.

    37> I have near perfect teeth…
    but i hate my smile. Ive never had a filling, or any sort of dental procedure.. and ive been going since i was a wee kiddie.

    36> I have a secret…
    and im not telling you.

    35> Im an IT nerd.

    34> Im addicted to mango and orange juice.
    mmmmmmm. tasty good.

    Sounds weird eh; well it is. Some people pop their fingers, jaw bones.. i can pop my wrist. Grosses everyone out.

    32> I’m a total music elitist.
    I’m So Elitist That I Judge Other Elitists ;) Dont even get me started on 90’s emo.

    31> Im the most argumentative person i know.
    I just cant let it lie. But im not malicious with it.. and il only argue my point if i know im right. ;)

    Some more me things 2 years ago

    14 – I cover my food up when I am full, If I don’t I will eat it all and then I would pop, it wouldn’t be pretty
    15 – I decided I wouldn’t like celery before I had any. My brother hated tomatoes and I thought I should hate something too, then I tried it and I thought it was disgusting.
    16 – I also hate coffee, I tried to like it once when I was seeing a barista, as a means to make more of an effort in our interests, it didn’t work, not even with chocolate in it
    17 – I love tea, but it makes me pee all the time

    21 – I like eating seaweed by itself
    22 – I don’t like horror films, I just don’t. Well actually I do quite like psychological horrors, like the wicker man and Texas Chainsaw massacre, it’s the jump out your skin horror I don’t like.

    My hair 2 years ago

    I’ve dyed my hair every colour except blonde and orange. It’s purple right now. It’s been permed, straightened, pixie short, rapunzel long, shaved underneath, braided, french plaited, asymmetrical and had wool hair attached to it. It’s been shown off by hairdressers at hair and fashion shows, photographed for media and cut in front of an audience.

    I love my hair, it rocks, except that it’s too thin and doesn’t hide my flat back of headtm very well.

    Its all about me - 21 - 30 2 years ago

    30> I suffer from Sleep Paralysis
    When this first started to happen i managed to convince myself that it was all a rather scary and horrible dream. All i knew was that I woke up terrorfied, completly unable to move or speak until i either woke up fully or went back to sleep. It was only after it began to happen on a more frequent basis that i realised that it wasnt a dream and for those few seconds, usualy between 30 seconds and a minute, that i was in fact awake but paralised. It still scares me when it happens but thankfully it doesnt seem to happen as much as it used to

    29> I can wiggle my ears
    Either both at the same time or independantly. Wooooo! Go me!

    28> * I wear my heart on my sleeve*
    But I would rather take the chance than live in regret of what could have been. Means that i get hurt easily i guess, but im strong despite that. You have to be when your a dreamer like me. I guess im just a romantic at heart, i always want to see the best in someone and when i fall in love i fall hard and fast.

    27> I always have a song stuck in my head
    I often find myself wandering round humming to myself, or tapping along to a beat in my head. Friends and strangers comment on it all the time. I guess i look a bit crazy.. but what the hell… as long as im having fun right?

    26> I love the 80’s
    From the movies and music to the god awful fashion… ok well maybe some of it i will give a miss. ;) I was born in 81 and so the cartoons are a big memory for me; Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, Thundercats, Care Bears, Ewoks, Captain Caveman, Danger Mouse, Dungeons and Dragons, He man and She-RA. I love 80’s movies too; Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Bill and Ted, Dirty Dancing, Labyrinth, the Goonies, Neverending Story, Ferris Bueller, The Karate Kid and of course movies from the brat pack like Pretty in Pink and The Lost Boys. The music; Blondie, Minor Threat , The Clash, Misfits, The Specials, The Selecter, Bad Religion, The Ramones, Madness, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Guns N’ Roses, The Cure, Killing Joke, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Jam, The Smiths, Tears for Fears…. i could go on…. but i think you get the idea ;)

    25> I hate hate hate bananas
    Yucky, horrible, yellow mush! I have my reasons ;)

    24> Ive never broken a bone
    God knows how though, i was the most accident prone kid i know. I did however end up having 11 stitches in my face when i was younger due to an unfortunate accident involving my face and the metal part of a cupboard. Still to this day i have a gap in my right eyebrow.

    23> I have my own theme tune
    But dont ask what it is because i will never tell. Sufice to say when out with a group of my friends, if one starts singing it they all do, this is complete with jazz hands and much embarrisment on my part… but secretly i guess im quite pleased that they think enough of me to make me a silly song up ;)

    22> My freckles all go in triangles
    Yes im aware that sounds strange, and therefore makes me wierd for mentioning it, but they do. Im like a human dot to dot or something to that effect. In the sun they come out across my nose and cheeks like a little girl. Actualy ive not done so bad concidering you can hardly put a dot between my mothers freckles.

    21> I love period dramas
    Much to the amusement of my friends, and the astonished looks i get when i admit this to the general populace, i adore period dramas. Put me in front of a Jane Austin book or movie and im completly enthralled. Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility are a few of my favourites. English Literature was a favourite of mine at school and i can remember doing pride and prejudice and just falling in love with the faistiness of the characters, especialy if you consider the period the book was written in and how women were perceived at the time. Jane Austin was a writer way before her time

    I once 2 years ago

    pretended I couldn’t speak english because I was trying to avoid the electricity man who had come round to find out why we hadn’t paid our bill, then I made my flatmate do the same, but they cut us off anyway, I came home to find a cable being fed through to next doors electricity so we could watch Eastenders. Our only light being a big green candle and a gas fire that blew up every 20 minutes to try and keep warm. That was the night we all bonded.

    I write poems 2 years ago

    not so much these days, but generally I do, and it’s great. I used to perform them at poetry nights and have competed in 2 slams both of which I lost (hoorah) but I was a runner up in the mini spoken word slam and was the only poet who got through to the final (hoorah)

    I’ve been published sporadicly in obscure anthologies and journals you’ll probably never come across unless I shove it under your nose and sit there arms folded until you read it (which I will never do) and have been a poetry judge for an anthology/website. I’ve ran Haiku workshops and even been paid for reading but I still see it purely as a hobby. I won a bursary to attend an Arvon Writing course in the Yorkshire countryside which is the best workshop I have ever attended and hope to go again very soon.
    But best of all I drunkenly blagged myself onto the poetry stage at Glastonbury festival and managed to hold my own without stumbling too much.

    My influences are Charles Bukowski, Frank O’Hara, Carol Rumens, Liz Lochead, scrabble games, Julia Darling, Christopher James, Ted Hughes, WH Auden and the 60s psychedelic folk music. I like writing when I am drunk and write spontaneously on newspapers and maps though I prefer thin brown paper, I like how it crackles underneath biro pens. I tried to write a poem about the rain yesterday but it was shit.
