I saw this on
Natalie's blog and thought I would do it, since I'm avoiding doing work :)
Basically you write 11 things about yourself and then answer the 11 questions set to you by the person who tagged you (or whose post you saw it on). Then you set a new set of 11 questions at the end for the people you're tagging (or anyone who reads the post and wants to join in).
Since I don't like tagging people, I'll just say if you want to take part, please do! No tag backs :)
10 things about me
1. I have way too much nail varnish (especially since I hardly ever do my nails lately).
2. I haven't fallen out of love with blogging, I just need to conserve my energy for other stuff - mainly the wedding, but some health stuff too.
3. On that topic, it's 4 and a half weeks to go and I haven't received my dress yet. Can I get a collective 'Panic!'?
4. I left my home town when I was 19 and will hopefully never live there again.
5. When I was a child I
always wrote. A pad and pen was never out of my hands. I wanted to be an author. Quite a few people have told me I should write a book, but if I did it'd have to be something along the lines of
Christopher Brookmyre, who swears like a navvy and makes me pee myself laughing with his humour. I couldn't write a book without dropping a few F-bombs, and I'd want it to be funny, so he's the man.
6. When I was a kid, I bit my nails really badly. I stopped when I was about 14. Sometimes in times of real stress I might nibble one nail but I like having nice nails *stops to admire them*
7. I love doing laundry (apart from the putting away part, as my wardrobe is broken and basically it's just a box to throw clothes into!) Hopefully I'll be buying a vintage wardrobe after the wedding is over.
8. I have my own little business, in case you didn't know.
Funki Munki Badges.
9. I'm trying to grow my hair long but my hairdresser seems to have other ideas!
10. I haven't had the luckiest life, but I'm happy.
Questions from Natalie:
- What is your favourite male & female names? Gabriel and Raphael for boys and Amber and Rose for girls (to be edited, I have a list of names on my laptop)
- If you could only watch one TV series, what would it be? Sons of Anarchy. The acting and scripts are amazing and it keeps me guessing from week to week.
- If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Right here. In the summer, it's so beautiful I wouldn't swap it for anywhere in the world.
- Coffee or tea? Tea, agave nectar and milk please :)
- What’s your most treasured possession? It's a toss up between my phone, laptop and SLR.
- Who is your favourite fictional couple? Jacob and Bella!
- Unicorns or Dragons? Unicorns. I want one tattooed on me in a My Little Pony style.
- Do you have any phobias? Being buried alive. Make sure I'm good and dead!
- Can you play an instrument? Nope. No musical talent here at all, I'm afraid.
- What is your favourite fashion trend right now? I hate to admit it (because I've lived through it once already) but pastels. I want to hate them, but I can't! I can't even remember if I can carry them off or not. We'll see ;)
- What colour are your eyes? Hazel. Most people assume they're brown, but that's because they're not close enough!
