Thirty Random Facts About Me...

Hey Everyone!

I've got some great reviews and vintage beautifulness lined up to blog about very soon. But before all of that, I thought it would be fun do a post with a difference...

It's about time we all got to know each other better I reckon and as 'Fashion Not Rocket Science' celebrated its second (or is it third, I forget?) anniversary back in November (which was somewhat of a non event at the time) and it's not long before I turn twenty nine...again (if you get what I'm'a sayin', the clue's in the title!) I thought this would be a good opportunity to share Thirty Random Facts About Me. I'll try and make them as obscure as possible for maximum amusement. Here goes...

1. A fairly bog standard one to start with - I have double jointed elbows. Actually, don't a lot of people?
2. I'm a very emotionally intense person. I wear my heart of my sleeve and when I like something, I am OBSESSED with it.
3. Which brings me on to my next fact, I am a massive, MASSIVE fan of Harry Potter. I'm a total Potter geek and I don't care.
4. I'm convinced I was born in the wrong decade and have always felt very drawn to the 1960's for some reason. The music, the make-up, the fashion, it's just always appealed to me.
5. As well as being self appointed president of the Harry Potter fan club, I am hugely in love with The Beatles. Those guys were and still are revolutionary in every way.
6. I have an HND in Musical Theatre, a degree in Performing Arts, grade 5 Clarinet and grade 8 Singing.
7. In 2005 I travelled East Coast Australia with friends. It was an unforgettable and incredible experience and I hope to go back someday.
8. When I was about two, I got hold of a pair of scissors and started hacking away at my beautiful dark curly hair. It grew back straight.
9. I have lived in four different counties in the UK.
10. When I was little, I always wanted to play Leisl in The Sound Of Music. I still do.
11. I love architecture. It fascinates me and I think it tells us a lot about how our ancestors lived.
12. I'm becoming a bit of a history nerd in my old age. Ironically, I took absolutely no interest in it at school and remember once trying not to fall asleep in a history class.
13. My favourite artist is Salvador Dali. I love a bit of the psychologically abnormal.
14. If I had to live off one food for the rest of my life, it would be aubergine. Either that or pepperoni.
15. I am easily scared. Don't ask me to watch a horror movie, it ain't happening!
16. I suffer from vertigo.
17. I am scared rigid of the dark. So much so that my ritual for turning off the house lights before bed can be quite time consuming.
18. My boyfriend and I have been together seven years.
19. I am a big collector of make-up, especially MAC lipsticks.
20. I keep all my make-up in a massive tool box.
21. I have size three feet.
22. I can crochet fairly well and knit rather badly.
23. My Dad used to do my art homework for me. He even did my R.E. coursework once. I got a B.
24. I'm definitely more of a cat person and would love to have either a black tabby or a ginger british short hair.
25. Having said that, one day I would also love to have a pug.
26. Music is something that's extremely important to me. I would describe my taste as eclectic.
27. I also studied film and media at college and love nothing more than watching the extra features on DVDs, especially those 'making of' documentaries.
28. I am currently training to be a teaching assistant, but in a parallel fantasy universe, I would be either a film director, an actor, a make-up artist or a singer/bassist in a band.
29. My brother is in a very successful band. I am very proud of him. And ever so slightly jealous.
30. I was once an extra in a film shot in Newcastle and starring Kelly Brook. It was a bit of a flop but I was still so pleased when I first saw it myself on screen for all of about twelve seconds.

So that's it! Let me know in the comments below the links to all your random facts too - I love reading about you all!
