Six weird things about me.

THE RULES

Each player of this game starts with the ’six weird things about you’ blog post. People who get tagged need to write their own six weird things post and state the rules clearly. At the end of the post tag six more people and don’t forget to leave a comment on their blog to tell them they have been tagged and tell them to read your blog.

1. I only have 1 toenail and the majority of my other toes are either jointless, boneless or have a slit where the nail nearly grew but didn’t. No one has any idea why this happened, but Max is convinced i wore them away, as i tend to rub my feet together subconsciously when asleep if i am worrying about things.

2. I went to Drama School, 1 of the most coveted ones but failed to be a luvvie and left after a year. Most people consider it a) astonishing that i went to drama school and b) astonishing that i walked out, which i did on a sunny day by sticking my fingers up at the second year currently making my life hell because i hated sound equipment and telling him to “f*ck off and go to h*ll.” 24 hours after leaving London, i was living in Settle being an au pair.

3. I don’t like coffee. I thought i’d grow into it, but i haven’t. it stinks and the smell is still better than the taste. Chocca Mocha is merely a corruption of an otherwise nectar-like drink and i don’t care who says otherwise.

4. Astonishingly, as i suspect this is not how i appear at times, i think about how other people are feeling and doing more than i think about myself. I actually do care about what is going on in peoples lives’ who i know and it makes me ridiculously sad when i know people are having a rough time. I’ve never quite worked out how this makes me fake and a bad person

5. I didn’t go to university. For a long time, this seemed to be a defining thing about me, that i had perfectly good grades but didn’t choose to use them to do something “useful.” I suspect this had everything to do with not being able to see what would be useful about going and judging by my siblings levels of student debt, i think i was probably right . Particularly as i’m doing exactly what i wanted to do, without having to go. And have no debts. And had a string of jobs that gave me a wide experience of things i never want to do again but were quite useful. I worked in a bank and it was my longest employed job i had, even though i hate maths and struggle to add up (and hated banking within hours of arriving there). I can even describe how a gsm phone network operates and tell you where in East Anglia you couldn’t get a Vodafone signal in 1996.

See? useful

6. . I’ve been a Slimming World Consultant, was one for 3 years, but i’m still in need of losing the exact same 2 stone i was when i first joined and i’d still rather have a biscuit than a banana. Oh well. And even though i am morbidly terrified of having surgery, i’d rather have surgery than diet for a year.

Well THIS knocks any arguments about the spirit of Christmas into a cocked hat!!!!

BBC NEWS | Health | Male contraceptive study expanded

Now, even as someone who survived having a coil fitted with much less stress than i imagined, i just can’t imagine this catching on among menfolk. It even made me wince!

… and we’re still going strong.

We are, however, in our weakened state, about to do my passport application

Nic… i hope you are in practice
