Another literal trend from Twitter that I thought I'd post here because a) I'm bored, b) I can't sleep for this ridiculous cough and c) I don't fancy spamming the timelines of my followers. These are all in no particular order and probably don't make sense.
1) I can't write my own surname properly, the 'ss' ends up just looking like a squiggle
2) ^ Which is why my signature is my first name with an 'x' through the middle (this only makes sense if you know my surname) and is also partially why part of the URL of this blog has 'xo' in it
3) It is 61 days until my birthday (I think...)
4) I have an addiction to buying stickers and notebooks...and I never use any of them
5) I used to keep a diary but now I only manage to keep a travel one
6) If I achieve nothing else in life, I want to travel the world
7) People, in general, annoy me
8) I can't even lie, I'm doing terribly at my TYSICs
9) I found a Turkish coin in my bedroom last night, and I have no idea how it got there
10) Hearing about anybody I know being interested in a foreign language excites me more than it probably should.
11) ^ The same goes for grammar, ESC and people who make jewellery
12) My handmade charm bracelet will always be worth more to me than expensive jewellery
13) I wouldn't be like I am now if I hadn't gone on the Croatia expedition last year - this includes my involvement with the Amnesty group or new found interests
14) My family, generally, do a brilliant job of winding me up
15) I cannot be followed up the stairs by anybody
16) I have an irrational fear of medicine (as in the liquid, not the general term for medical practice)
17) My only other fears are being underwater and being alone in the dark (I blame having to walk home in the dark from the bus stop for this one completely)
18) The majority of the music I listen to is either by a foreign (generally European) artist or in a different language (generally Spanish)
19) Languages are my life. I could talk for hours about how fulfilling being a languages student is.
20) I'm lucky that I went to such a good high school and had so many wonderful teachers
21) I've come to the conclusion that even though I hate it, NC is definitely for me because everybody there seems to be at least a tiny bit crazy
22) I own 4 Spanish dictionaries
23) My all time favourite foreign word is 'slap', meaning waterfall in Croatian
24) I can't switch off from my responsibilities at college, even now during the summer holidays it's impossible
25) One of my proudest achievements is that I'm a published author
26) The only career choice I have ever seriously considered is teaching
27) I love learning about other people
28) I'm more than a little obsessed with 'doing my nails'
29) I miss stress baking, but the lack of stress with which to bake is a good thing
30) Generally, I prefer animals to people (especially Dusty and Peanut)
31) I'm a complete night owl when I'm at home, but whenever I have to stay somewhere else, I can guarantee that I will always be the first awake.
32) My favourite book is Eleven by Mark Watson, partially because he's my absolute favourite comedian and he knows who I am, but mainly because the concept behind it fascinates me
33) I don't remember a winter when I wasn't upset/sad/depressed about something or had something bad going on in my life
34) The hour of Linguistics while on Linguastars in which we studied Vietnamese grammar was the most fascinating hour I've had in a long time
35) I love it when people take me out of my comfort zone, as long as it's for the better and I gain something good from it (i.e. María making us ring her friend in Spain and have a conversation with them in Spanish...I smiled for at least an hour after that non-stop)
36) I'm glad college only lasts two years, and even though I hate the place, I'm glad that I didn't go to a sixth form at my school (not that one exists yet...)
37) I'm kinda proud of my 'Croatia scar' (don't even ask...)
38) I have an obsession with Russian dolls and bought two sets in Poland alone. I have one that my grandad bought me and one that I painted myself, then I have a set of Russian doll boxes, a Russian doll money box (thanks, Fern) and several pieces of jewellery with them on
39) I still want a 'paint your own ukulele' set
40) I haven't seen one of my best friends for about 4 years...but hopefully we get to see each other this September and I'm already excited :)
Yeah, I told you there was no order...
Besos ♥
