25 Random Things About Me... (Like anyone wants to know...)

Whether anyone cares or not - here's the latest FB craze. Write down 25 random things about yourself and bore people to death... Fun!


Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. (To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click post.)


There will be one difference to mine though - I'm not going to torture any of my friends and tag them.... Okay - maybe one or two just for the heck of it!




1. I can't stand it when people are late - appointments, meetings, even just for casual hang outs... But for all of my problem with it; I am continuously doing the whole "Kiyyyaaa - I'm-so-late!!" dash. Go figure.




2. There are three things in life that I can not do to save myself:



~Bowling (I always come dead last and break at least one nail...)



~ Navigation (Anyone who rides in my car when I'm driving will experience the fun of reversing from traffic lights 'coz I'm in the wrong lane, or squealing around a corner 'coz I just about missed the turn off - or on the likely hood that I actually DID miss the turn off {this happens much more than I would like it too!} random U-turns whenever and where ever I can. Yup. I'm a crazy driver.)



~ Math (Do not ask me to do it, because without a calculator or my fingers and toes it just will NOT happen. Seriously.)




3. One of the things that I MUST do before I die is ride a cow. I've ridden horses of all descriptions and sizes, I want to ride an elephant when I go to Thailand, and I've ridden in cars, trailers, tractor scoops and on boats (speed and a ship), ferries, trains, aeroplanes, a motorbike and a quad bike. And merry-go-rounds and rollacoasters! I've even been in a hot air balloon (but didn't go any where) and basically, besides all of that list: I just want to!




4. I'm going to get my rally car drivers licence. Probably not that soon, around my 25th bday I think, so when I get my super-sweet car I'll be able to thrash it. Sweeeeet!




5. And, on that note - I hate Volvos. (The cars, not the biscuit). They suck hardcore.




6. And country/western music... Ick!




7. And wasps - they are seriously creepy! I think it's because they can fly, so you can never be sure if they are stalking you, or even if they are around half the time, so basically they freak me out.




8. On the other hand, I love spiders (particularly Huntsmans 'coz they are really pretty close up) except when they are on me. Then they have to get off.




9. I'm addicted to music and tea. (Particularly Jasmine tea, but I'm not fussy) I can't live with out one or the other or both at least once a day. Mmmm... Tea....




10. Animation/Cartoon and Dance/Musical are my favourite genres of movies. Put them together (like in Happy Feet) and you've got me - hook, line and sinker!




11. I get cold really, really easily. Apparently I have shocking circulation.




12. I'm a closet Aqua fan...




13. My "Most-shameful-tv-program-that-you-can't-help-but-be-addicted-too"? Er... ANTM. Nope, I won't decipher the acronym. If you really want to know, find out yourself! I told you it was shameful... =^.^=




14. I get blisters from like, ninety percent of my footwear, but I wear my shoes anyways because I am addicted to shoes. I guess that makes me a bit masochistic though...




15. I hate shark fin harvesting. Yes, I also care about the whales, but if someone was to ask me what regular act of cruelty conducted for money/as business really gets my goat - it would be that. I just can't stand the fact that hundreds and thousands of sharks have their fins cut off and then get chucked back in the sea to either drown (sharks swim to breathe) or get eaten alive. I think it's disgusting.




16. I have stayed up all night on many an occasion just to finish my book, or a series of books.... I can't help myself! I'm addicted to books. Someone check me into rehab - I have way too many addictions to be healthy!



17. I once cartwheeled down a church aisle for the sheer sake of it. I did the same in the Attorney-Generals Department of Defence building. Yep, the AGD. For the sheer sake of it.




18. I love haute couture and bargains. So yes, if I was a squillionare, I'd be saving half my money and spending half of the rest (exaggeration - maybe just one eighth or something) on Jimmy Choos, Chanel, D&G and the other part of that eighth on Valley Girl camis, JayJay's t-shirts and sale rack shorts!




19. It is my goal to go to as many museums and art galleries around the world as I can. I will drag my unsuspecting fellow travelers along for the ride, so beware!




20. I get paranoid whenever I pack up and go (from home, work - even a bus stop) that I've left something behind! I guess that paranoia has stopped me from loosing all my stuff when I was overseas though, so I'd call it a bit of a blessing in disguise.




21. I have insanely sensitive skin so you can tickle me absolutely anywhere - but don't touch my neck if you want to live.... I can't stand people touching my neck - just thinking about it gives me the heebeejeebies.... *shudders* Yuck.




22. Someone once thought my name was Barbie. -______- I wasn't impressed.




23. I have never had an imaginary friend. I think with three sisters I probably had more than enough playmates not to bother!




24. I'm an avid collector - stamps, coins, jewelry, shoes, hats, books, teapots - random bits of junk. I have the best excuse too - I'm an artist and I need all that stuff for reference! :D




25. If I'm away from home - I miss the stars. Funny, but true. When I was in the Northern Hemisphere, I hated looking at the night sky because I'd get homesick. The Southern Cross, the Milky Way, Orion and Scorpio - and other constellations that I love but don't know; I really miss them when I can't see them.


So there you go - twenty five strange and random facts about me that I'm sure you didn't want/didn't need to know, but whevah*....



It's strange how different we human beings are. I mean I just listed 25 things about me, and there are hundreds more things that make me; me and not someone else. (Duh) I think that's the great thing about meeting new people, or even just D&M-ing* with friends. There is always more than what meets the eye. ...


That's cool. Anyways ciao peeps;
