So taking inspiration from Hiromi and Dave Not Dave, I present 100 Things About Me (because my mind needs distraction)...
1 to 25
- I had my first kiss at 20. It was extremely nervewracking. My lack of intimacy throughout my younger years has ridiculously profoundly affected me when it comes to self-worth and relationships.
- I lost my virginity at 21. It was not a whole lot of fun and hurt.
- No-one has uttered the phrase "I love you" to me.
- I have locked-lips with a total of three people- two males one female. I couldn't say who was better... well actually, I could, but hey- I was drunk.
- I have had black, red, turquoise (well, more like green), blonde and shocking pink hair- the pink lasted approximately three days before I was threatened with being sacked. Illegally of course. The turquoise tips were my favourite and I miss them.
- At the moment my hair is too long and a faded shade of red.
- I used to have a loose, Beckham-esque mohawk. I loved it and wish I could have it back on a regular basis.
- When I had the mohawk, I used to get mistaken for a boy on a semi-regular basis. Or at least enough times to affect me.
- I'm a B cup.
- I have excessively long legs and a very short torso.
- I have two tattoos- one of a grey chrysanthemum on my left shoulder and a broken heart with tally marks below my right hip.
I thought about the shoulder tat for over a year and changed my mind when I got to the parlour. It took three and a half hours. I think it is very beautiful and has a variety of meanings, both historical and personal. I like to think it means "heart left to desolation" from the Language of Flowers but at the same time it makes me feel strong.
My heart tat relates to the idea of love being a chemical thing that runs out after 30 months, or, just enough time for a male to get with a female, knock her up and ensure the offspring survives the most vulnerable few months before moving on to new genetic horizons. It's scientifically proved. - I am 168cm tall.
- I have a BMI of approximately 19.5.
- I enjoy watching Monster Truck racing. Freestyle is the best.
- I really like eating both frozen and cooked fish fingers.
- I like wearing stockings and suspenders.
- I have never felt like I fit in anywhere when it comes to social interaction with peers. I hardly ever went to parties as a teen and would feel exceptionally awkward. This has carried through to the present day- The awkwardness I mean not the teenageness.
- I own two corsets.
- I really enjoy consumables that turn my tongue a different colour.
- I have had three surgeries to try and clear recurring growths on the inside of my sinuses.
- I am "a very allergic young lady" according to my consultant.
- I am allergic to dogs, house dust mites and grass pollen amongst other things.
- I often have an allergic reaction when I am exposed to swimming pool water, but this makes no logical sense.
- I don't like cats very much.
- I have had a total of four hamsters. Figment the regular hamster then Bob, Gozer and Ripley the Dwarf hamsters.
