As a nasty virus seems to have taken over our household, I'm going to take part in the 'twenty-five random facts about me' tag! I wasn't actually tagged, but I've enjoyed reading other peoples, so maybe you'll like mine too!
1. Some kids want to be nurses, fire-fighters, a vet; me? I wanted to be a flamenco dolly. By the time I was twenty-one I had achieved that goal and lived in Spain for twelve months to boot.
2. I worked in a dog kennel for a year & it was the best job I ever had.
3. I once didn't brush my hair for so long it actually became matted and had to be chopped off.
4. I'm the first person in my family to have a degree.
5. I shaved my eyebrows off when I was younger as my sister told me I had a monobrow.
6. I went through a goth/'mosher'/hippy stage in high school (didn't we all?!) and was pretty much obsessed with Kurt Cobain.
7. I've bitten my nails since I was seven, can't seem to kick the habit.
8. I cry about a lot of things, but I am quite detached from death.
9. I went through a vegan stage & it was the best I'd ever felt.
10. I don't believe in God but I believe in a spirit higher than us all & that our paths are all intertwined somehow.
11. I met my partner of four years on Twitter.
12. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & Life of Pi are my most favourite films.
13. I prefer a night in to a night out. I am what you may call 'a young fogie'.
14. I have a strange 'party trick' in being able to know most songs & lyrics within the first few beats of the music. I was straight up called a 'weirdo' as I was singing along to a song before it had even properly started.
15. I've travelled more of Spain than I have of England. Seville is my favourite place on the planet. I know I will live there again one day.
16. I can make a whole list of cocktail, thanks to many bar jobs.
17. I know the basics of five languages (Italian, Chinese, Russian, French, Portuguese) and I'm almost fluent in one (Spanish).
18. I have the worlds sweetest tooth. Give me sugar over savoury any day of the week!
19. I was bullied by my best friend in high school... She is still my best friend.
20. Paulo Coelho is my favourite author and probably always will be. If I encounter someone that hasn't heard of him I will hand over my copy of 'The Alchemist'.
21. I'm forever day-dreaming. Normally about how many other people are day-dreaming and thinking the exact same thing.
22. I once gradually started dying my hair darker and darker brown until it was black, because my mum said I couldn't.
23. I'm not a picky eater, but if I see something has gone off, I probably wont eat that same product for a few months.
24. I take everyone as my friend until they personally give me a reason not to be. (normally takes a lot).
25. My Great Grandma is my inspiration. She's the happiest, wise old owl I've ever known & if I live half of my life as good as hers I will have achieved something.
And there you have it!
