I did actually try and film this a couple of days ago until I watched it back and noticed that you couldn't actually see me. Ok, lesson learnt, I won't film at 9pm again. I've loved watching all the videos going around youtube recently because, as I've repeated a zillion and one times, I'm a stupidly nosy person. I hope you like reading through these and perhaps you find something out about me you didn't know(?!).

- Justin Bieber follows my twitter DON'T HATE OK

- I went through a serious phase of wanting red hair
- I've played the flute for nearly 10 years and I'm currently practicing for my grade 8 exam

- I can't walk in a straight line

- I've basically had a fringe on and off since I was born. When I have it, I hate it. When I don't have it, I want it back.

Congratulations to you people if you have made it through this far and you're not pinching yourself trying to keep yourself awake. Well done. I'm off to do some art as it's my deadline tomorrow- all I have to say to this, is, s.h.i.t. Good bye.
now playing: step up for the cool cats palma violets (I LOVE THIS BAND!)

Brilliant! You remind me of.... oh, I can't remember her name, but in a way, the girl in chalet girl? Sorry, haha xx Great post xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome tag! I've done this over on my blog too!

Oh god, Habbo Hotel. I must have spent the majority of my pocket money on that website. I just loved being a HC with all the cool hair do's, and with my virtual pet dogs. Ah, those were the days. Game of falling furni anyone?
ReplyDeleteLoads of these things reminded me of myself, the secret love for One Direction, love going to gigs, always being a S Club 7 fan (pah Steps can go home), not being able to sleep during the day, very much enjoying my own company, and I love Little Miss Sunshine, such a good film!
Tempted to do this post myself, however I'm not sure if I have 50 things. Maybe 25?

ReplyDeleteLove that you saw Gail from Corrie in A+F- silly Gail whats she doing in there!! I'm left handed too and can definitely sympathise, it's like the world is against us! I've just done a similar post on my blog :) xx
ReplyDeletelove this post! might have to do one myself in future :) x
ReplyDeleteAh trying to write mine as we speak, I am seriously not interesting enough! Haha, love your version though!c
ReplyDeleteLooooved this :-) Just read your piercings post (I wasn't following you back then) and you've kick started my craving for more ear piercing! All that bothers me is that I wouldn't be able to sleep on that ear for a while. Yep, sleep really matters that much to me.
ReplyDeletei never really realised how much the ear rim piercing hurt afterwards- it's only now that it's settled down a bit! it's so worth it though x
DeleteI love Little Miss Sunshine! Definitely one of my favourite films! <3

I've always wondered how it must be working at Lush because of such strong (but pleasant) smells. Can you smell anything else after you're done with work? :D
ReplyDeletepersonally, for me, I LOVE IT! and it gets quite difficult when you're instore because everything seems to blend into one...but it's nice when i'm sitting on a smelly bus afterwards! haha xx
DeleteOh, I bet! I always tend to keep the bathboms I buy in my bedroom for at least a few days before putting them in bathroom storage. They make the whole house smell ridiculousy lovely! :D
DeleteI know what you mean about kind of keeping your blog a secret. I don't tell anyone I just let people stumble upon it. I love posts like this x
ReplyDeleteGreat getting to know you better and I'm the same about my blog
