About
Finally, a legitimate use for that godawful 25-Things Facebook questionnaire.
—
1) The first time I hiked a mountain I did it in boots with a three-inch heel.
2) If I snort or smirk when you say something that isn’t funny, it’s only ‘cos I’ve thought of a related dirty joke. I’m sorry.
3) I write a lot better than I speak.
4) I alternately adore people and am disappointed by them.
5) I’ve got a black belt in karate, which I’ve never felt I’ve deserved. You could put me in the ring with a ball of mud and the mud would win.
6) I was once the person to go to for weird/gory/disgusting Net videos. I’ve had pretty much all my squeamishness WTFed out of me.
7) I refuse to watch anime because once I start I can’t tear myself away until I’ve finished all the episodes in my possession.
8) I constantly feel there isn’t enough time to do all the things in the world I want to do. (This list is not helping.)
9) My given nicknames include Princess, Tigress and Angel, the last used sarcastically, and a whole host of others I wouldn’t mention in polite company.
10) I don’t wear a watch and refuse to buy one. I use the digital clock on my mobile instead.
11) I’m always late. This has no connection to the previous point. Really.
12) There are very few things on this earth I love more than good music, but one of them is a good book.
13) I’ve been a student of jazz, ballet, modern, tap, hiphop, latin american and ballroom. Nowadays all the dancing I do is in clubs, which is kind of a waste of classical training, but I’ve brilliant memories of samba-ing in clubs to trance/dance music.
14) I walk on the balls of my feet.
15) I enjoy extreme activities, but have lost a lot of my recklessness since leaving my boys.
16) Amber and Mark are the closest people I have to siblings, but people tend to ask if Catz and I are sisters.
17) Once I ran off to Europe for a month without telling anyone, with an ankle barely recovered from a rather serious accident.
18) I graduated highschool at 13.
19) I am horrible at regular correspondence, no matter how much I love my correspondent.
20) I used to judge how good a clubbing session was by the state I woke up in the next morning. If I got to my feet with only minimal aches, it was crap. If I had to move myself one painful bit at a time, starting with my little fingers and little toes, with several attempts before I could sit up, then it was excellent.
21) To me the three food groups are sugar, salt and grease.
22) I don’t watch TV even when I’m bored. I have very little interest in it.
23) I like to be in control. I’m a planner, and I do it right down to the smallest detail. When I’m not in control, I bump around in a daze and come off looking not too bright.
24) There is a rumor my first word was a swear word. My grandmother, who taught me to cuss in various dialects before I hit my teens, was probably responsible.
25) I am 23 and in absolutely no hurry to get married, okay Mum?
