A little about me...

My God Sister did a blog similar to this the other day, and I thought it was a fab idea for my readers to get to know me a bit more (if you really want to, that is). So I decided to do this "10-Day-Challenge", but in one blog. Enjoy! Let me know what you'd answer to these things, too. 

Well, here goes...

Ten random facts about myself:

• I don't like the wind when it's strong. 
• I have a deep love for fairy lights, lanterns and bandstands.
• I have always dreamed of going to Paris.
• I don't like it when I find a really gorgeous dress with a lovely pattern on, and then I realise it's one of those playsuit things. That disappoints me.
• I love calling people nice things, like "darling", "honey" and "poppet".
• The first thing I draw when I start doodling is always a heart.
• I taught myself how to play piano.
• I talk to myself all.the.time.
• I wear odd socks - I'm never caught wearing an even pair of them.
• I have a major sweet tooth. 

Nine things I do everyday:

• Text one of my best friends Kat. 
• Cuddle my cat. 
• Pray
• Sing a Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Big Time Rush or any other of my idols' song.
• Check my Twitter and Facebook as I'm eating breakfast or before I get up.
• Eat Peanut butter
• Drink tea out of my Piglet mug in the morning
• Play with my hair
• Fuss my dog

Eight things that annoy me:

• When people don't have good manners like please and thank you. Especially when you open a door for them and they just walk straight past... I'm like, YOU'RE WELCOME. 
• When people ask me why I'm a vegetarian and tell me that the animal's already dead, it doesn't feel pain, animals are meant to be eaten blah blah blah. I'm perfectly happy being veggie and I have no problem with anyone else eating meat, I just can't personally face eating it. 
• Barbie and how everyone wants to look like "her". 
• That nobody understands the illness I have (M.E/CFS). 
• When people say they hate celebrities and send them hate.
• People calling Demi Lovato fat, Big Time Rush lame or Taylor Swift a slut. 
• When the authors of movies or books make characters die. Especially when it's the main characters. It just seems so pointless to me.
• How time always goes so quickly when you're having fun, but so slowly when you're not.

Seven fears/phobias:

• Bees and wasps.
• Losing control.
• Tornadoes/hurricanes.
• Losing my family or close friends.
• Never recovering from my illness. 
• Never being able to dance again. 
• Sick/being sick.

Six songs I'm addicted to:
This one is really hard because I have about 300 songs I can't live without, but I'll condense them down to six...

• Dear John - Taylor Swift
• Give Your Heart a Break - Demi Lovato
• Fallin' For You - R5
• You Never Let Go - Matt Redman
• Not Yet - Jenn Bostic
• Stay Stay Stay - Taylor Swift 

Five things I can't live without:

• My family and friends
• My phone
• Dancing
• Music
• God

Four memories...
Oh gosh, where do I start with this one!? It's gonna take a while for me to think of just FOUR memories...

• Me and my two friends Kat and Becca were in Tesco once and this one old man came to the checkout in front of us with 25 boxes of cheerios and 30 cartons of milk. I will never forget how confused we were and how much we were laughing, thinking, "when is he going to eat all that to himself!?". Yeah. You had to be there. 
• My close family friends Rosie, Harriet and Yvonne, my mum and I were all camping in Cornwall and it was near a beach. Rosie, Harriet and I were playing in the sea and we came across some jellyfish. They were really still and didn't seem so scary but we were scared because we knew they could sting. Obviously we screamed and ran back to our mums, so they came over and laughed, telling us they were dead. So we were "daring" enough to touch them, and we buried them in the sand. 
• When I was younger we'd visit my grandma and grandpa in Scotland and they lived near a forest park. Sometimes we'd take a drive through one of the forest drives, and there was this song I was just obsessed with. It was "I wish I Knew How It Feels To Be Free" by the Lighthouse Family, and something about it just struck me. I made my grandparents listen to it over and over, and now every time I hear it, it reminds me of my lovely Grandma. 
• The first song I ever wrote was called "Punk Rocker". My brother had secretly listened to me playing it in my room on my mini guitar, and when I went through in to the kitchen I found him playing it to my own family - only he had changed it to "Prawn Cracker" and was making fun of my song! I had such a huge strop after that one. But in his defense, it was an awful song and it did sound like prawn cracker.

Three words I can't go a day without using:

• Wonderful
• Love
• Literally

Two things I wish I could do:

• Draw
• Teleport myself anywhere whenever I wanted

One person you can trust:

• My mum

So I hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about me, and if you didn't well I'm sorry I bored you :( But let me know what you'd answer to all these questions! I love these challenge things. 

Lots of love,
