OT: Just for fun - 25 random facts

I just did this on Facebook about an hour ago!

*copies and pastes* Here you go........

- I suspect I may struggle to find 25 things to say about myself. Probably because I find myself deeply uninteresting.

- I look for spelling errors when I'm reading things you've written. And I'm disappointed when I find them.

- I hate celebrity gosssip magazines, like Heat. I'm not interested in what celebrities look like in their bikinis. Even if it will only cost me 65p or whatever to find out. I could spend that on something nice, like chocolate.

- I love to read, but I hardly ever recommend books to people. A book/author has to really impress me, a LOT to make me want to share it with someone else.

- I worry about my dad. He's 63, which I suppose isn't that old really, but he seems to be aging really fast lately. Maybe it's just because I see my folks less nowadays but it does seem like he's noticably older each time i see him. I dread the day when I have to say goodbye to one of my parents. I think that's probably the day you truly become and adult, and I wish that day never had to come.

- I am painfully shy, and although I put on a confidence body shield a lot of the time, I'm terrified of people not liking me. Does that mean I'm insecure? Maybe.

- I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger. It's still my dream job, but I'm a little more realistic about my prospects these days. I still love fashion though, even though I don't wear the latest trends all that often.

- I secretly like pink quite a lot. I hardly ever wear it, certainly not as outerwear, but I like it. And glittery things too. People think I'm kinda tomboyish but I'm getting more girly the further away I move from being a girl towards being a woman!

- I want to swim with Manatees (or Dugongs, or whatever you want to call them) I think they're beautiful creatures.......in the ugliest way possible. Their gentility and slow-ness inspires me.

- I don't like eggs. Except Cadbury's Creme Eggs, I love those.

- It's controversial, but I think the Beatles are overrated. Now Blondie; there's a band that's made an outstanding contribution to music. Their songs are as great now as they were when they were first released.

- I broke my leg when I was very young. I was learning to walk. I don't remember it, but I regularly ask my mum about it. I sometimes try to figure out which leg it was by concentrating really hard on the way I walk. It never works. It doesn't stop me trying though.

- My left foot is slightly larger than my right. It's unusual because normally the right foot is the larger one. Which is why most people try on the right shoe first in a shoe shop.

- I love the way Sharpies smell. And that they write on everything. My sister bought me a pack of Sharpies as part of my birthday gift. It was a good gift.

- I have a perfectly good laptop, but I'm old-fashioned in my mentality and think it should only be used for travel; and so run my tired old desktop at home while my laptop sits in the corner begging to be taken out for a walk.

- I don't know my 8 times table, and I never have. Yet somehow I got an A in my Mathematics GCSE.

- I like that Eliot calls me ZC. I think it suits me. I'm surprised it didn't catch on more.

- I hate my middle name. Not because it's something bizarre or old-fashioned like gertrude or something. Just because it's boring. Ann. Not even Anne with an E. Just Ann. And I hate that people don't get why I hate that.

- I eat WAY too much Pizza. I love it. Even though it's not nearly as good as the pizza you can get in Italy. It's a good job I don't live over there because I think I'd probably eat pizza everyday if I did.

- I get bored very quickly. And when I'm bored I really struggle to find the energy to do stuff.

- I wish I were less tall. I'd like to be petite, so that I could wear heels without feeling like the BFG's sister.

- I bet you've not read this.

- I had a really nice kebab once in Turkey. It was nothing like the kebabs you get over here. And it only cost 1:50 Euro.

- I believe that everyone has a soulmate, but most people never find them. Or don't realise they had found them until it's too late.....

- I'm quite proud of my legs, I think they're nice, long and quite toned. They're the only thing I like on my body, and I'm not even bothered that there's a six inch scar on the back of my right thigh. In fact, I'm kinda proud of that too. No; I won't tell you how I got it.

Lol Sara its so weird how many things off other people's lists i've though oh i wish i'd put that down too now! i love reading everyone's little quirks! Also Sara its scary but a lot of whats in your list i could have written too.

I probably wasn't as honest on mine as i copied it straight from facebook where i couldnt be honest about everything. i might do another one later where i'm more honest!

11. I have done 2 bungy jumps and 2 skydives. On the first bungy jump I stood at the top for about 15 minutes before I actually jumped off by which time a crowd had formed at the bottom and gave a big cheer when I finally jumped (the guy running the thing said he was convinced I was going to have to be taken back down in the crane - yeah right how embarrasing would that be). On the second bungy jump a number of years later and in a different place I apparently didn't dive off properly and the guy was really annoyed with me because I was too close to the rope and he thought I was going to get tangled up (oops). Think I will leave bungy jumping there.

12. I absolutely hate mice and rats! When I was younger I couldn't even say the words without squirming - but have improved with that now. Still hate them though.

13. I make a fantastic thai green curry - and when I go for a thai meal I just can't have green curry because I think mine will probably be better (I did get my recipe from a guy in Thailand).

14. I have a bad habbit of being really impatient with people in shops, to the point where H2B gets really embarrassed.

15. I am a very kind and loyal person, I will always be there for my friends no matter what.

16. I am quite a quiet person, particularly in big groups - but a different person on a one to one.

17. I am a huge procrastinator too - mostly because I think I won't do a very good job so keep putting it off.

18. I am extremely indescisive and it drives H2B mad, especially as I always ask him if he is sure about a decision he has made. (no doubt my Dad will quote in his speech at the wedding, the shoe shopping trip we had when I was a child. 9 shops and then back to the first one!).

19. I straighten my hair, even though it is dead straight. I do this mainly to try and flatten it as it is so thick and I always have to wash it at night and then sleep on it before it is vaguely controlable.

20. I love orchids and anything with orchids on!

21. I hate it when women wear open shoes and don't paint their toe nails. I also hate seeing men with long finger nails!

22. I have never really read a whole book since University - before that I loved reading.

23. I don't like fire. It took me a long long time to be able to light a match or use a lighter (just as well I don't smoke), and even now I get anxious doing it. I failed a science test at school once becasue I didn't want to light the bunsen burner.

24. I am quite creative and have a reputation at work for putting together good fancy dress outfits, especially as we have had quite a few social occassions. The best was the Humpty Dumpty full body suit that I made, especially amusing as I hadn't put it on before the event and when I did realised I couldn't even get a drink to my mouth - hence an evening of being given drinks through a straw.

25.I always remember how to spell 'necessary' by the saying a history teacher used at school - "Never eat cakes eat sausage sandwiches and remain young". - ok this one is random.

Well done if you managed to get to the end of that one. I too get a bit paranoid about being boring. I also agree with the pregnancy/birth ones that people have listed above. I want kids but the thought of being so big scares me as does the whole giving birth!!!

PS A random fact about H2B. His Mum has hardly any photos of him as a child because he wanted to be a spy when he was older and decided it was a necessity and very cool to destroy all photographic evidence. ?

Sorry I am guilty of calling you Sarah on the hitched meet. You need one big hug ? SOunds like you have a lot on your plate. Let me say, having met you I think you are lovely, and gorgeous and I find it hard to believe you don't have a lot of confidence. You do talk fast but it didnt scare me, I talk fast too, even faster after a drink.

Have you thought about going for some sort of counselling? That might help you so much.

I keep thinking of more!!! arrgghhhh lololol.........

Aww thanks Zippy!

I let people off for forgetting my name when they first meet me, as its an easy mistake to make, but as for the next Hitched meet up.....hmmm I may have to kick your butt ?

I did have some counselling last year for depression and it really helped, I'd like to think that I am in a good & healthy place at the moment, alot of my negativity was work related and I have really focussed on sorting that out in the last 6 months - But I shall take your hug very gratefully x x x

Me too! I kind of rushed mine without putting a lot of thought into it. I might sit down later and do it again.

I have to say I am loving this thread, its so nice having an insight into the thoughts and lives of other hitchers, and there are so many little quirky things which I can agree with which I thought I was weird for doing. Now I know I'm pretty normal.

Saracroft, yours made me cry.
