Bonjour mes petit pois!
This week has been non-stop- I've been at work for 5 days- so to try and catch up a bit I'm pre-writing a few posts tonight and tomorrow. Earlier this week my darling brother Sam put a '25 facts about me' on his youtube channel and I thought it might be something quite fun to delve into on here to share some random things about me. Let's delve then.
1. I'm 16 and am just about to start sixth form (next Friday). I'm so excited but it's so nerve racking at the same time starting A-Levels!
2. When I was about 7 I choked on and then swallowed a 5p coin while fighting with my older brother. That was an interesting experience.
3. I've been indoor skydiving in Manchester. It was one of the most scary but at the same time incredible things I've ever done! The adrenaline rush was just amazing and now I want to properly skydive (like many other people)
4. I have a collection of about 40-50 theatre programmes. It ranges from Wicked to Dirty Dancing to Birmingham Royal Ballet to Shrek the Musical. I'm determined to collect as many as I can throughout my life. Sad I know but I just love theatre!
5. In year 4 at primary school (aged 8) my friends and I created a game called 'The Vampire Game' where one person was 'the vampire' and everyone else had to run from one end of the playground to the other, avoiding the vampire. If they were caught, they were put in prison and had to be rescued before they were killed. Cheerful. I was usually the vampire.. I got so into the role every time!
6. Leading on from that, I LOVE The Vampire Diaries! I started watching it while I had a free month of netflix and now am on series 3 after buying the DVD of the series. (I'm team Damon).
7. I work in a local restaurant/ cafe as a front of house waitress type person.. Isn't that great. I don't even know what to call my job.
8. I have watched friends for years!! I could beat anyone and I mean ANYONE in a quiz about friends. I watch it while I iron, I watch it while there's nothing on TV and I still find it funny, that's the brilliant thing.
9. I broke my collar bone on the school field when I was playing at lunchtime in year 7. I got flung through the air and landed on my side. I did cry but didn't hear a crunch or anything. Odd.
10. I don't like gravy. Many people turn against me when I tell them that... please don't hate me for that- I'm allowed to have an opinion!
11. One direction are my guilty pleasure. I never used to like them, I'd wince when they came on the radio and take the piss out of them. Now I sing along to their songs and think Harry Styles is beautiful. I do still feel guilty for liking them though for some reason!
12. I started watching youtube videos about 3 years ago. I used to watch lookbooks for outfit ideas, as my style used to be diabolical! That eventually lead me to people doing hauls (Zoella being one of my first subscriptions). I'm now subscribed to over 100 channels and read at least 50 blogs. Addict right here!!
13. I had to make this number 13! I have loved Taylor Swift for at least 5 years. I have I think every song she's made and know all the words to every single beautiful one. I went to see her Speak Now tour in 2011 and wrote '13' on my hands and face. If you don't know why the number 13, it's because it's her lucky number and she writes it on her right hand when she does a concert so you can see it when she plays guitar. Enough Swifty geeking now let's move on.

| Me on the right.. I have no shame |
14. I have never smoked a cigarette or taken drugs. And I want it to stay that way. DON'T DO DRUGS KIDS.
15. Nearly every day when I came home from pre-school I would strip off, fill up a small, square washing up tub with water, put it outside and sit in it. Not run around or watch afternoon telly, just sit in a tub and think deep thoughts I suppose!
16. I have a number of fears: talking on the phone, swimming in lakes/ the sea (which I conquered over the summer), jellyfish, moths and ducks. Aren't I a strange one.
17. I am a self- confessed drama queen! If I get a paper cut I will whinge and whinge. If someone taps me on the arm, I shout OW and claim that it hurt. This annoys the hell out of my friends I've gathered.
18. If someone inadvertently says a line from a song, I sing it. If someone says something that sounds like it could be made into a song, I make it into a song. If someone is talking to someone else, I just start humming or singing. This also annoys the hell out of my friends!
19. I have never been invited to a wedding. I sang in a choir at the wedding of two of our school teachers and showed up at the church (not actually invited), but never have I received an invitation to a wedding ceremony and reception. It will happen at some point and when it does I'll be so damn excited!
20. My favourite foods are strawberries and pineapple. They're both so juicy and sweet and fresh and now I want some. My mouth is watering.
21. I used to have an enormous Joe McElderry poster on my wall which I did not used to kiss when I went to bed and I did not almost cry when I found out he was gay....
22. I used to watch Annie repeatedly with a friend and force her to take it in turns singing the songs, even though I was the only one who liked singing. What a cruel child I was.
23. I whacked my brother round the head with a plastic broom when I was about 18 months old and he had to go to hospital. What a little troublemaker I must have been (I still am hehe).
24. In preschool, this boy and I constantly used to tell each other we would get married when we grew up. Said boy is now my boyfriend!
25. Last one!! I have taught myself how to play guitar. I'm not very good yet.. but I'm getting better gradually. Practise makes perfect and all that jazz. (I just started singing the song oh dear).
Phew! That took longer than expected! I'm sorry if those facts all seem really boring- it's surprisingly hard to think of 25 interesting things about yourself. Some people do 100 facts about me so I respect you if you're one of that mighty bunch.
Thanks for reading and have a lovely day whatever you're up to :)
