A Few Things About Me.

I've been writing this blog for six months now.  And it's time to tell you a bit about myself.  That isn't specifically linked with being creative.

So here are 25 things that say something about who I am.

1.  I love my Significant Other. He makes me laugh 'til I think I'm going to pop a rib.  He sees who I really am.  And helps me feel gorgeous, even when I'm festering in my dressing gown, and animals are bedding down for the night in my hair. 

2.  I think sausage sandwiches are sent from heaven.

3.  I love vintage clothes and jewellery because every piece has a story to tell about the person who wore it first.  I like to daydream about who they were and what they did.

I bought this postcard when I was a student.

Isn't she beautiful?

4.  My favourite season is Spring.

5.  I don't mind taking the plunge even when I'm scared stiff. Sometimes I need to do what I'm most afraid of to have peace of mind.

6.  I love 1950's sequins, beads and silks. A girl can never have too much glamour.

7.  I know that God gives me everything I need, even when I think it's not what I want.

8.  I love high-heeled red shoes, and have to try them on each time I see a pair, even though I can't walk in them.

because I can't walk in them!

9.  I think roses and peonies are completely beautiful.

10.  I have a big ole crush on Johnny Depp.

 

11.  I have a secret crush on Niles Crane from "Frasier".

 

12.  I think Tokyo is the most fantastic city in the world. I lived there for five years and totally loved it.

13.  My favourite smell is my cats' fur. It smells like warm biscuits.

14.  I have always wanted to be able to play the piano.

 

15.  I started learning ballet when I was four. I stopped dancing when I was 28. When I was standing on pointes I felt weightless.

16.  I used to dream in Japanese when I was living in Japan and couldn't remember how to say any of it once I woke up.

 

17.  I'm most proud of the fact that I travelled the world alone, but know now that home is the best place to be.

 

18.  When my Significant Other, hugs me, I know how it feels to be loved.

19.  I always put insects that come into my house out into the garden, as I wouldn't like someone squashing me with a tissue.

20.  I'm really quick to laugh but find crying harder to do.

 

21.  I don't know what I would do without books.

22.  I write all the time but find it hard to show people what I've written. (That's changing since starting to write my blog...) 

23.  I talk to my car when I'm driving.

 

24.  I think babies with moptops are gorgeous. They make me smile.

25.  Although I occasionally go through the odd broody mood, I never really wanted children. I like my own company too much.
