10 Facts About Me
As an
introduction to this new ElephantBum blog I thought I would give you all 10
facts about me. Not just my favourite colour, food etc but facts that I would
only say a handful of people know about me. So hear it goes…
1. I have a fear of ‘Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory’ not just the movie but lots of separate aspects of the
movie, which has stopped me from doing things in my life. I can’t watch any
other film with Gene Wilder in it, I can’t watch films from the seventies (they
have the same “feel” to them), I can’t visit chocolate factories, I can’t read
the book and the hint of any of the songs from the movie instantly make my
hands clammy. This is a completely rational fear I am sure that one day I will
meet someone else who is just as scared as I am.
2. I find it really hard to make
new friends, which explains why most of my friends have been in my life for 10
plus years. I am not to sure what it is but I think I am pretty strange and
that’s quite a lot to throw on someone when you have only just met. Anyone else
have this problem?
3. I stick my tongue out when I
concentrate; I have done this since I was little and most of the time I don’t
even know I am doing it.
4. I am not the biggest fan of
fizzy drinks; I am not a fan of the bubbles. I like to open a fizzy drink and
leave it standing for a couple of hours and then drink it. Yes I know this
means it is flat and warm but that is when it is at its finest (In my opinion anyway).
5. I can’t tell the time on a
24-hour clock.
6. I collect ‘Harry Potter and the
Philosophers Stone’ I currently have 20 variations of the first book. I have
different languages (Latin being the coolest) and different cover designs
(including one I designed myself for my degree) but my favourite is when they
have inscriptions written inside the cover.
7. I will wear the same pair of
trainers until they fall off my feet or my mother throws them in the bin
(actually happened more than once). I get stressed picking an outfit everyday
so by I only having one pair of shoes means I don’t get stressed. I also own
sliders that are permanently attached to my fit during the summer period (no
shame)
8. I love pizza, I could eat it
for every meal of the day but I only eat Margherita I know this is strange but
I don’t like the fact that the whole pizza just tastes of the toppings. I am
also very fussy about cheese to sauce to crust ratio.
9. I am extremely competitive. Its
not that I am a sore loser its more that I don’t believe in the ‘It’s the
taking part the counts’ motto. This attitude has lead to many friends and
family not wanting to play games with me, which is sad because I do love a
board game.
10. I own a lot of t-shirts! Surely I am not alone in this…surely…please
someone else admit to owning too many t-shirts…please.
There
it is 10 facts about me, hopefully you now know a little bit more about me. But
I don’t know anything about, please let me know if you can relate to any of my
facts but if not let me know something about you that only a handful of people
know.
