Well it took me a few days to get round to it, after being tagged. So now I have to write 20 things about myself an tag the same amount of people as it takes me to write this…ulp. Here goes.
1. I love brussel sprouts, despite being told “they smell like wee” when being cooked.
2. I have never understood the joy of shopping, the only things I ever enjoy shopping for are gadgets, music and dvds. I loathe loathe shopping for clothes, food or shoes.
3. I am more or less teetotal, which leads to a bloody cheap night out when I do go anywhere as I usually start to babble incomprehensibly after two pints of Kronenberg 1664. Though I am told I’m “funny” when I’m drunk. I suspect they are laughing at me, not with me.
4. I have a shockingly high tolerance for bourbon and rye whisky. Go figure.
5. I have an aversion to hairdressers as well. Not the actual haircut itself you understand, just the prospect of being pinned in a chair for an hour with someone vacuously asking me “going anywhere nice this year” blah blah yackety schmackety.. then charging me upwards of forty quid for the privilige. So I cut my own fringe and let my hair do it’s own thing. Which it does rather too much.
6. It takes me ages to get know people, so I can come off as stand-offish.
7. Once people do get to know me they always seem surprised I’m so quiet before hand… can’t imagine why. ..;)
8. I worked in catering for 12 years.
9. When I have been unlucky enough to have to have stitches, they always seem to end up in my face. I think someone is trying to tell me something.
10. I wish you could buy self confidence, never had much meself, a fact that may seem surprising, but the internet is a wonderful faceless place.
11. I am petrified of wasps, had an allergic reaction to one as a child and never been stung since. I do like bees though.
12. At 12. I was tall for my age. Sadly I haven’t grown an inch since then, except horizontally, and my height is just over 5 feet.
13. I swear by Rotring Tikky mechanical pencils for sketching on paper. I have yet to find the perfect paper though.
14. I’m far too fond of my wacom tablet, and have been known to stroke it in public.
15. I make games, I rarely play them. I don’t get bloody time.
16. I’m horrendous at answering emails, I have a memory like a sieve.
17. Most things that people say to me go in one ear and out the other, pausing only to get caught in my hair.
18. I love my husband very much, but I think he might be pissed at me for cropping up at number 18.
19. I am a LotR fangirl, I have the Argonath on my tower at work, a mini Minas Tirith on my desk at home and a signed (with love and kisses no less) picture of Billy Boyd blu-tacked to my pc tower at work. I also got a hug that day, and teased for the best part of two weeks by my aforementioned partner for looking like a rabbit caught in headlights at the time.
20. My heroes: Mike Mignola, Glenn Fabry, Terry Moore to name just three.
Gaaah now I have to find some people to tag !
