Its about ME! (what a suprise)

I kinda hate these lists of random facts about me. I LOVE reading other people’s lists though. So in all fairness I’m going to post a list of 20 things about me you probably don’t want to know.

1. I’m not really a nice a person. I gossip and bitch about people behind their backs. I have a complete lack of tact at the most inopportune times. I’m selfish, self centred and slightly narcissistic. I constantly battle with these aspects of my personality every day. (YES I’m feeling guilty about something and NO I’m not telling you what.)

2. I adore cooking. I love presenting a beautiful meal to people I love. I love eating and I love eating out. I feel like I have a good relationship with food. I understand the importance of a balanced diet. I think about nutrition and diet daily but its not an unhealthy obsession with my weight. The idea is to keep myself relatively healthy. (Its all the drinking and drugs that really fucks this up.)

3. I’m obsessed with tradies at the moment. I think it’s a throw-back from being in a very intellectual- and emotional-based relationship for the past 3 years. I’m just obsessed with physically fit and attractive guys. Especially if they drive a ute and say incredible boganny things.

4. I hate open cupboard doors. I can’t walk past an open door on a cupboard and not close it. It just looks untidy.

5. I love my Grandma. She’s the only person in my family I have any length of time for… I would do anything for her.

6. My favourite movie of all time is American Beauty. It’s complete. It’s asthetically perfect. There isn’t a word of dialogue, movement of an actor or tiny prop in the background that would change in this movie.

7. I hate it when people can’t talk to me. I know I talk a LOT. But I’m also an active listener. If I ask someone questions and make an effort to show interest in them and they are elusive and uncomfortable I just don’t know what to do. It makes me feel like I’ve failed.

8. I’m really claustrophobic. It’s situational of course. If you can distract me I don’t really notice it but otherwise I start to panic. Like auburn I’m not a big fan of the Tokyo subway. Mostly cos there are lots and lots of people in a big crush. Freaks me out. I drove through that stupid cross-city tunnel the other day (by accident - luckily it was free at the time) and about 3 minutes in I had to put the air conditioning on and I was speeding through at about 100 km/h. My ex once shut me in the pantry at my house and when he finally let me out I slapped him across the face and kicked him out of the house.

9. I will always find the money to go shopping. I should never have kids because I might sell them to buy a pair of shoes. (She jokes… kinda.)

10. I still have that crush on that guy at work. He still has a girlfriend. Its fucking shit.

11. I’ve never had an orgasm from intercourse alone.

12. I hate not being in control. I always have to jump in to help in every situation. I’m a really bad backseat driver. I hate it when people don’t show up on time or aren’t ready when I get there (even though I often get there early so my friends always get pissed at me when I get pissed at them cos they’re not ready). NB I do realise that getting fucked up on ecstasy or alcohol contradicts this rule completely but I guess that’s why I do it.

13. I’m a shoe girl but I hate it when I don’t have the perfect handbag for an outfit (which is often). Normally I pick my shoes first and then the outfit.

14. I cut my hair off on Tuesday.

15. I have so many wonderful girl friends. I don’t what I’ve been doing different in the last six to twelve months but I have met quite a few girls that are closer to me now than the girls I have know for years. I don’t talk to any of the girls in my ‘group’ at school. NONE of them. That’s probably cos they were fucking awful to me to the last one of them.

16. I want to publish a book and move to the south of France. I wouldn’t learn more than a few words of French cos I’m terrible with languages. I would drink wine with every meal. I would drive around in a convertible with big sunnies and a head scarf and a bag of groceries with a baguette in the back. I would fuck lots of smelly French guys but never marry them.

17. I sleep naked. Pretty much all the time. My roommates think I’m weird but I like to let things breathe.

18. My favourite thing to do is to get a bottle (or 5) of wine and a few close friends (or maybe just 1) and eat and talk to the early hours of the morning. I can’t think of anything more relaxing and indulgent.

19. My skin is so fair that I got sunburnt from standing in the sun for about 30 minutes at 5pm on Saturday afternoon. I had make-up on so my face was fine but I have a red sprinkling across my back and shoulders and many new freckles.

20. I daydream too much. I do it all the time. I spend approximately half my life indulged in fantasy. I daydream when I’m driving, at work and before I go to sleep at night. I vague out when someone is talking and sometimes I have to pretend like I know what the fuck they’ve been saying for the last ten minutes cos I wasn’t listening. Don’t worry, this usually only happens when I’m bored.

I’m not going tag anyone cos everyone has already done it.

Trixibella?! Where are you? Thanks for your lovely comment but I think you need a big vent on your blog. You’ll feel better if you let it all out. Sometimes, sweetie, you need to think about you for a change.
