A few of the Aussie Curves ladies decided to get together and decided to share 10 random things about themselves. GREAT! Awesome. I planned to join in straight away. But it turns out that NEW random facts about yourself on a blog like mine is tricky. So I opened a post and added bit by bit. Finally I have TEN. Yes. Win. Here they are, 10 random facts about me. Be ready!
1.
I love wonton soup. To me there’s nothing like it. It’s simple, it’s tasty and nothing beats those little parcels of awesome floating around. Sick or well, happy or sad, THAT is my go to meal. Forget anything fancy, wonton soup is where it’s at.
2.
Sometimes at night, when I am filled with anxiety and dark thoughts I reach over and place the palm of my hand flat on my husband’s sleeping chest. I feel the rise and fall of his chest. I hold tight to beat of his heart and remind myself that he is real. Love is real. And darkness passes. Then I sleep.
3.
I grew up on a 400+ acre pineapple farm in the Mary Valley. I wore football shorts and sneakers way more often than dresses. I rode go karts, push bikes, four wheelers and dirt bikes. I lost more skin to gravel than would ever be considered ladylike. I was born to have the wind in my unruly hair.
4.
I love to shop but I hate hanging around the shops. I love buying clothes but I hate going to try them on or even look if I don’t have the cash to buy them. A window shopper I am not. If I’m shopping, I’m shopping, if I’m not I’d much rather be sipping coffee and eating in some fab cafe.
5.
My husband is born the same day as my mother. Sure that’s not about me but what IS about me is that I am surrounded by Sagittarians They are literally coming out my ears. Okay, not literally. But they are thick on the ground. Do you ever find that? Maybe it has something about being an Aries… I don’t know.
6.
I don’t really have a favourite colour. I thought I did, I thought it was blue. But then there is yellow and orange, I just can’t go past them. I quite like purple and pink as well. Silver’s nice. Black too, if it counts as a colour. The only colour I don’t really like is green and even that somedays I could swear it was my favourite.
7.
My hair has been almost every shade under the sun. The natural shades mostly, but some pink and blue thrown in there for good measure. The crazy part is that when I was a kid I was madly proud of my natural hair colour. Even now I have no idea how that happened, why I gave it up. I wonder sometimes.
8.
I hate white bread. I blame my father and his addiction to grain and wholemeal breads. I eat it sometimes, it has to be something like a crusty sour dough or something, but mostly I’m like, ick, what IS this crap. Weird but true. Give me bread with lumps and chunks in it any day. Except if those lumps are flour… Ick.
9.
My family eat lemons like most people eat oranges. It starts young and usually with the little wedges in a glass of water. Yum yum. When I make smoothies jam packed with lemons Hubby screws up his face and complains it’s too much while I slurp away like the happiest person in the world. My siblings are the same. We’re all weirdos.
10.
I love movies. Old or new. Black and white or colour. Good or bad. I just love them. Sometimes I wonder what it might be like to work in movies. The creativity and wonder of it all. Then I realised that for me it’s the stories, the characters, the moment in that dark cinema where a movie could be anything. For me movies are all that and more. Not a day job.
And that my friends is 10 random facts about me!
Tell me something about you I don’t know. Would you please?
Hi! I’m Suger and I’m the Chief Blogger here. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, build websites, write copy and create social media plans for people. This is my blog where I share my life and the things that interest me. It’s been living its best life on the interwebs since 2009.
1. I am not joking when I say I like dogs more than I like most people
2. I do the same thing in the middle of the night (with my boyfriend though, not your husband, haha). He works away alot of the time though which makes it a bit harder, so for those times I have my dog on the floor next to me and checking in with him gives a similar effect – though the dog tends to wake up and want a fair few pats when this happens.
3. One of my biggest dreams is to live in the country (Atherton Tablelands, I’m looking at you here) and live as off the grid as possible. Sometimes I think life is meant to be that simple.
4. I’m living my dream and working on setting up my own freelance/consultancy business. I’ve struggled to find fulltime work since being made redundant, and I think part of that struggle is because corporate 9-5 is not where I am meant to be.
5. I’m out of ideas now and actually supposed to be working on that freelance/consultancy so I’m closing my blogs & Facebook tabs and just doing it, haha.
LOVE THIS! Thanks for sharing.
I´m with you on 1 -I too like dogs more than I like most people
Snaps to wonton soup totally love it and especially if I feel icky it perks me up, I find the same with a cup of miso soup. You’re certainly a lover of color these days aren’t you? Green is my absolute favorite colour and I also adore orange, yellow and don’t mind purple. Hmmm something you don’t know about me I have tattoos. Did you know that already? I’ve got a short term feature on my blog at the moment about me that i’m sharing snapshots into me, my life and home that’ll will be sharing more tid bits. But you know being put on the spot to answer that question is hard, or maybe because it’s 5am.
I’ve thought of something. I like jam and geese on toast. Is that weird?
Haha. A litle. 😉
Love that soup, nothing makes me happier. I am at the moment. I love, love black and white too at the moment. Hence my dilemma.Haha. I think I did know that, I don’t remember how. But heck, it can count. It was early.
totes
Haha. Okie dokie.
Oh goodie. I’ll add you to the list. 😉
Wonton Soup is quite possibly one of the best foods ever!
Do you still like pineapples?
Indeed it is. And yes, I do. My siblings ate them themselves off them for a while, but I LOVE them.
wonton soup – yes please. bring on winter and soup weather. not sure if we can be friends any more if you don’t like window shopping. I could window shop for Australia. And my mum does that with lemons too. Don’t get me wrong – I like them, and when it comes to lemony desserts – the tarter, the better but can’t eat them like oranges. Too Tart.
It’s the best! Mmmmm soup.
REALLY!? You’re going to ditch me for that. Naaaaw. Haha. I promise to only shop with you when I have the cash to spend. Saves you not being able to hit the shops.
Maybe your Mum should be my friend though… Just saying. 😛
1. People call me Forest Gump because of my brushes with fame. Mostly knowing people before they become famous.
2. I am a very shy person.
3. I can not stand people who talk and promote themselves but do nothing other than that.
COOL. I don’t know anyone who’s famous. Yet! Shy can be a good thing, as long as you don’t let it take over all the time. And YES, ME TOO! All talk no action. Boooooring.
I´m with you on number 4 -most people doesn´t belive me because I love shopping so much, but everything around shopping usually drives me crazy.
SEE! I knew there had to be others. Yes.
lol add one more Sagittarian to your list me lol 🙂
