25 things.


So there is this thread going around facebook where you are required to post 25 things about yourself. It can be facts, memories, goals... or anything you like. I thought hard about this and wanted to see what I could come up with. Though I do not want everyone on Facebook to view this I believe it would be an interesting addition to my blog. So here it goes.

  1. I am allergic to lavender (The smell causes me to get very bad migraines). Two reasons why this is very annoying? a) I love the colour purple but unfortunately almost everything in the cosmetic isle in this colour is lavender scented. b) I do suffer from migraines and many of the natural remedies for migraines contain lavender as it is meant to relieve the pain.

  2. I love to cook. If I am bored I will often convince people to allow me to cook them food.

  3. I detest artificial banana flavour (and am not too keen on bananas either). If I buy a packet of lollies and it contains a lolly which is yellow in colour I will make someone else try it before I go near it. I also love clinkers chocolate, I will bite the end of to see what colour it is inside, if it is yellow I will throw it in the bin (I also believe a packet of clinkers contains ½ yellow, ¼ pink and ¼ green clinkers just to piss me off).

  4. I have had the same best friend my entire life, since I am an only child I now do think of her as my sister. I would die for her in a heartbeat.

  5. I love to write and am a perfectionist when it comes to handwriting. When I was in school I would sometimes write a report anywhere between three to seven pages long before realising my writing was somewhat messy and starting again. I am slowly getting over this. My boyfriend of three and a bit years has received more than 50 letters from me as this is one of the ways I show affection to others.

  6. My parents were going to name me India, China, Jade or Maddison, for years I wished they had named me China and absolutely hated my name.

  7. I have never been on a plane or out of Western Australia for that matter, somehow this doesn't bother me the slightest.

  8. I would prefer to read a book, write, draw or even just sit and think than to watch TV. I find it almost impossible to concentrate on a show I have no interest in and do not have a favorite program I 'just have to see' every week. I do enjoy movies but unless I am interested the same applies. I do watch the news most mornings and read the newspaper most weekends just so I know what is going on in the world around me.

  9. I will never say 'I love you' unless I mean it.

  10. I have a strawberry birthmark on my neck which I don't even notice is there anymore. It always surprises me when I meet someone for the first time and they make a comment about it.

  11. I am scared of the dark but cannot sleep if there is a light on in the room. So every night I will close my eyes and turn off the lamp and will keep my eyes closed until it is back on again or the sun is up.

  12. I do not feel the need to meet or talk to new people, however this does not mean I am not happy to... I will always wait for you to approach me first. It may also take a few meetings before I warm and open up to you, before this I will probably come across as uninterested or a bitch...

  13. Since I started going out with Aaron I have never found another male physically or emotionally attractive (in that way) it is completely useless trying to have 'girly chats' or to check out boys with me... I just don't get it and will not participate.

  14. I didn't feel any of my piercings being done and was very surprised when I was told 'it's all over'. Even so, I was terrified before each of them.

  15. I used to love needles and even enjoyed getting my blood taken until about a year and a half ago when I passed out during the process. Now I will do whatever it takes to avoid the situation.

  16. I cannot stand seeing birds in cages and do not understand the point of doing so. I also do not understand or agree with getting a dog and leaving he/she at home six to eight hours a day alone while you go to work. Therefore I don't agree with getting a pet unless you are willing to give them as much unconditional love and attention as they are willing to give to you. DO NOT BUY PETS AS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS... the novelty does wear off in many cases.

  17. When I was younger I was able to see ghosts, I spent the day with my grandmother at her funeral. I haven't seen anything since I was around thirteen and am terrified of seeing one again.

  18. My eyes change between green, hazel, brown and a yellowish/topaz colour depending on my emotional wellbeing.

  19. The first time I ever spoke to Aaron on the internet I said to myself 'this is the boy I will spend the rest of my life with'. I was twelve at the time. We started dating just before my fifteenth birthday.

  20. My dad and I have the same taste in music and have introduced each other to many new bands/artists. One of my favorite things to do is to go driving with him with the music up loud.

  21. I have a very close bond with both of my parents and have never really felt the need to rebel against them. They have always understood me and allowed me to be who I needed to be at any given stage of my life. I love to just sit and chat to them both and can talk more openly and comfortably with them than anyone else.

  22. I am extremely clumsy and uncoordinated. I usually try to focus on everything I do to avoid accidents (Like falling up/down stairs for example).

  23. My favorite part of starting a new year of school, Tafe or University is stationary shopping... it's been like this since I started pre-primary.

  24. I can't wait to get my tattoo and have had the design picked out for a few years now, however I don't know where on my body I would like to place it. Ideally I would love to have it on my wrist but people do not tend to employ teachers with body art... visible tattoo's reduce your chances of employment in many fields for that matter.

  25. I am not religious but I do believe that there is something more than us out there. I haven't figured out what that is yet and I think that it may take for me to experience something (like the death of a family member for example) before I open up to the idea. I do believe however there is something after death... an after life, more because I cannot handle the thought of spending the rest of eternity in a box... nor can I handle the thought of my family and friends doing so either.
