100 Facts About Me

About a year ago, one of my Psychology friends got me to write up a list of 100 facts about me. I'm not really sure why that is; she never gave me a reason. I went to re-read it, and it's amazing how much has changed in a year (well, since 12th April 2010, to be exact).
So, even though this aforementioned friend no longer uses Blogger (or maybe she does?...), I decided to update it. From what I remember, it is extremely challenging to sit down and have a really good look at yourself. But sometimes, I suppose, it can be really rewarding, no?

Anywho... Let's begin... *deep breath*

1. As most of my closest friends know, I have quite the fixation with vanilla milkshakes. OMNOM.
2. My ear piercings are reflective of video game characters - three right lobe piercings and two left lobes and a helix. Yes I'm a geek. I DON'T CARE. :D
   
3. Feathered earrings = YES.
4. I have unusual allergies including nickel, certain types of plasters and soaps, most spot creams, and my own cat.
5. I can't go a day without communicating to someone in some way. Text, msn, whatever.
6. I have a habit of biting my lips. Or someone else's when I'm in a relationship! ;0
   
7. I had glue ear when I was born. It's basically when fluid doesn't drain from your ears naturally, or something. When I was little, because I couldn't fully understand/listen to words, I had my own little language. :P
8. My favourite sandwich filler is salami, lettuce and mayo. Though I also like chicken mayo, tuna mayo, BLTs, cheese, and chicken and bacon. I'm hungry now. :( ...
9. I like to rock out to my iPod when alone in my room. Admit it, you've done it too. ;P
10. I think my best features are my eyes...
11. ...And my worst features are my nose, teeth and also, my breasts! Verr personal, I know.
    
12. I don't have an issue with my height. Yes, I'm small, so what? :P It apparently makes me 'cute'...
    
13. I've only ever been in love once in my life.
    
14. I am a hopeless romantic!
15. I have an interest in zodiacs - but not so much that I believe in them. :')
16. I barely have any summer-esque clothes to wear. That means that whenever it's painfully hot, I'm pretty much screwed!
17. I have a couple of phobias. But I'm not talking about those here.
18. I love photographs. Every time I look at one I'm instantly catapulted into that time and that place. I like to look at old photographs too. There are one or two of me with a bottle of tea in my mouth, sitting in a box wearing my dad's Doc Martin's. I was a cool little child. :P
19. I have two younger brothers. I kinda wished I had a sister...
20. ... Though to be fair, as I am often older than my friends, I play a 'big sister' role to them all anyway. :P
21. Insanely addicted to music. I can't go out for a walk that's more than 10 mins long without my iPod to keep me company. :P
22. While I do love to wear red clothes, it's a common misconception that that is my favourite colour!
23. I know that sometimes I may be seen as two-faced. This isn't true; it's simply that I want to appear pleasing to both sides of the argument. I'm one of those 'sitting-on-the-fence' types.
24. Following on from that point is my reason for sitting on the fence/appearing pleasing to both sides - I hate conflicts. Of any kind. So I often strive to find a 'middle-ground'.
    
25. My favourite type of cuisine is Italian. Margarita pizzas, while very plain and simple, are the way to go; although carbonara? = OMNOM.
26. My only surviving grandparent is my nana. My dad's mum. People outside my family tell me off for calling her nana/nan. I don't care if it's common! That's my name for her! And she's lovely, and a little eccentric; she's one of the few people who are smaller than me. :')
27. What are my weaknesses? Well, other than the aforementioned VANILLA <3 and feathered earrings, I also have a weakness for Takeshi's Castle, McFlurries (at ridiculous times of the morning), Final Fantasy, Apple Dolls, oriental artwork, cats, huskies, anything with studs, The Sims, anything relating to Mickey Mouse, and necklaces.
    
28. My biggest annoyance is when people interrupt. Either when they interrupt me, or someone else, and I happen to be there. If you do it to me, you will bloody well know about it!
29. I fear change, and yet I hate being stuck in the same routines...
    
30. I love the feeling of falling asleep in someone's arms. ^-^
31. My biggest dream is to be a therapist. I'll hopefully know what kind of therapist once I've left university.
32. My second biggest dream is to be the wife of a good man. In fairness, I've already 'assigned' myself to one of my best friends in case neither of us are married within the next 10 years. :P
33. The ideal 'best day out' for me would be a sunny day at Heaton Park with friends, staying there til evening playing football and eating ice-cream. Ahh, nostalgia.. <3
34. I hate dimples. I get them when I smile. EUGH.
35. I also hate feet. EUGH.
36. I have a tendency to day-dream. A lot.
37. When I'm bored, I look at this website: http://comixed.memebase.com/ .....Or, I watch various episodes of 'How It Should Have Ended' : http://www.youtube.com/user/HISHEdotcom
38. I have a bit of a belief in guardians. Or guardian angels, more specifically.
39. I'm either really early to meet up with someone, or really late. It's more likely to be the latter. ;(
40. I have mixed views on what happens after life. There is still a part of me that feels concerned it'll go something like The Matrix. :') .... o.0 ....
41. I've had the implant in for almost a year now. I didn't get it for the reason you might think. :')
42. I'm terribly squeamish - someone shows me a horrendous injury, I'm likely to be knocked sick! However, if the injuries are my own, I show them to others to watch *them* squirm. :')
43. I'm a bit of a sadist... On video games! In reality I couldn't bring myself to hurt a fly!
    
44. I have an acoustic guitar I bought when I was 13. That was nearly seven years ago, and I still don't know how to play it. :')
45. Weakness in guys? Tallness - although, how can that be difficult to find for someone at my height? :P I also like broad shoulders ("something to hold on to" ;) ... :0!), and cologne. Yeah, he's gotta smell good!
    
46. Yes: I worry. A LOT. Often about very trivial things.
47. I love looking after/protecting people, but I also like when someone does the same with me. ^.^
    
48. I can sing along to some Japanese songs. I also know some German, Vietnamese, and a couple of Korean. Though I couldn't possibly tell you what half of the lyrics mean. :')
49. I spent the last three years studying a subject I've grown to hate...
50. My hands are almost always cold. But you know what they say: "Cold hands, warm heart"! ^.^ <3
51. Hygiene is a quirk I have; where my hygiene is concerned, anyway. I often shower every other day.
52. Bed-hair = story of my life.
53. I have a 'role' for being a human dictionary. I get some kinda buzz/thrill from correcting some idiot's spelling on a post on Facebook. :')
    
54. I also correct peoples' grammar a lot, too.
55. Wearing lipstick makes me pout more. Without me actually realising! o.0
56. I used to go to dancing classes in primary school. They were bad. In fact, they were so bad, I don't remember any of the moves. :')
57. I also used to go to recorder classes in school. The only song I can (vaguely) remember how to play is 'Mary Had A Little Lamb' ... *sigh*
58. There is an incriminating video of me and my friends singing an S-Club song. Also at school. And when I say 'me and my friends', I mean I was like, the lead singer. Cringeee.
59. Would you like to know what kinda guys I tend to go for? Well I'll tell you: I adore shy guys, who have depth. The kind that have a thriving passion for something and not care what other people think of it. I also like to go for the 'misunderstood' boys; the kind that need taking care of. In a non-patronising way!
    
60. I wish I could play piano/bass guitar. :(
61. Following on from the previous point: I'd love to be in a band!
62. I'm never happy with myself. I suppose this is a generic girl thing to say, no?
63. My cooking skills are very sparse. I would not make a good housewife. :')
64. I love summer. I hate the heat.
65. I love summer evenings the most. Those evenings where you stay out and it's still light at 10pm. :)
66. I love looking up at the stars when then sky is clear. The best place I've seen stars so far is in Rawtenstall, where there's not much light pollution.
67. Aforementioned Rawtenstall is specifically my nan's house. I go up there for a few days when I need to clear my head and 'escape' the life I have at home. :P
68. I've never experienced chivalry, except a guy walking me home. I always pay for meals, I always arrange days out - I would make a good boyfriend. Except I'm not a boy. :')
    
69. I'm dirty-minded. LOL, this is #69. :')
70. Attention? HATE IT. Unless there's something I really need to say.
71. A sense of humour is really important to me. Especially as I tell terrible jokes!
72. I've stopped reading books since my glasses got stolen. :(
73. I used to be afraid of spiders. Until I was left home alone and there was a MAAHOOSIVE one in the bathroom. For some reason when I took it outside, I acted as nonchalant as anything!
74. I drew up a tattoo design a few years ago. One day, I will EVENTUALLY decide where it shall go... ;P
    
75. Please excuse me for subjecting myself to my stereotype - but I make damn good sandwiches!
76. I also make a good cup of tea. And coffee. And hot chocolate. According to my dad. :P
    
77. I say 'aaawkwarddd' in awkward situations to make them even more awkward.
78. I have a compulsion to say "Run Forrest, ruuunn!" whenever I see someone running. :')
79. Deafness is a common issue in my life. If you see me staring at your lips, it means that I either want to kiss you (ohhh yeahhh ;D), or that I'm reading them. Which is more likely. :')
80. Having said this, I always look people in the eye when I talk to them. Which obviously makes lip-reading difficult. :P So I have to actually force myself to look away from their eyes, if you can believe that!
81. I've never been to a prom or a ball. :(
82. Dancing and/or singing are not my strong points. And yet I do them anyway!
83. Heights don't bother me - for instance, I LOVE ferris wheels. But I do love to have someone there for me to 'cower' into. :')
84. I often get my hopes up on things that are more than likely to fall apart...
85. I hate walking around the house with nothing on my feet. The only times I don't like having things on my feet is when taking a bath/shower/going swimming (obvsss), and when I go to bed.
    
86. Family mean a great deal to me, though I'm apprehensive of having my own. No elaborations here...
87. I like eating obscure foods at obscure times. For instance - pizza or cake for breakfast; bowl of cereal for afters... The list goes on. :')
88. Another thing I do when I'm bored: I open the fridge, look inside for a bit, close the fridge and walk away. No idea why I do it!
89. When I'm home alone, I sing to myself and do the washing up. Okay, to an extent, maybe I would make a good housewife. ;')
90. I LOVE HUGS. <3 But only with people who hug me back. Not people who give half-hearted hugs back. Come on, put some warmth into it!!
    
91. I feel boys should do the chasing. Though, since when did they ever do that??
    
92. Honestly, I will go out of my way to make someone happy.
93. I make a plethora of obscure noises when I see something that I think is cute.
94. I have one secret that not even the people who are closest to me know about...
95. Facebook has unfortunately become my social life-support. Half of the get-togethers and events I would never have known about had it not been for Facebook. Oh, and birthdays. :')
96. You hurt my baby brother, and I hurt you. 'Kay?
97. I'm very good with my money, unless there are birthdays/Christmas coming up. Then I kinda go OTT with it...
    
98. I want to see the Northern Lights before I die!
    
99. Like most people, I have made a lot of mistakes. And I will continue to make them throughout life. :P I just hope to make the kinda mistakes that will lead to the best decisions of my life!
100. Drawing is medicinal to me. It's useful for pent-up emotions. Such as frustration, anger, sadness... And yes, the picture below is one of my drawings. :P Hope you like it!:
