Honest Scrap

First, I'm going to tag Velvet at vvb32 reads, Adam at Roof Beam Reader and Kirsty at the overflowing library.

I was tagged by A.J. at Collections (Thanks A.J:) with this award and now have to list ten things you didn't know about me (and probably will wish you didn't by the end haha). 

1. I lost the entire nail from my little finger (of my left hand, I think) when I was around five because this girl slammed a door on my hand. Yes, I remember it in graphic detail. Luckily, it grew back and looks completely normal.

2. I love collecting things like pictures and quotes. Inspiring things. I used to collect sweet wrappers when I was in primary school. Sometimes, I watch shows like Antiques Roadshow and wonder why I can't just have an attic full of valuables at hand. Sadly, I don't even have an attic.

3. I love poetry. Reading it is fun but writing it is a great stress-reliever. I have a folder where I put all my poems in and I look through them every once in a while (when I'm feeling particularly sentimental:). The majority of them fall into three categories: love, angst and nature.

4. I'm short. One of the worst things about being short is getting on the tube (subway) for obvious reasons-other people's armpits lol- and one of the best things about it is also getting on the tube. I can sometimes get into small gaps where a taller person wouldn't hehe!

5. One of the worst things that happened to me is walking in thirty minutes late to an exam:( I was hyperventilating on a crowded bus at 9 in the morning. Luckily, I got an A for it (they gave me the thirty minutes back at the end in which I wrote like crazy, thank goodness).

6. I have a fear of heights. Oh, and rollercoasters. We do not go well together.

7. I can't sing to save my life, yet as a child, I was constantly singing out the window to an avid (and imaginary:p) audience. I also used to sing and dance in front of the television (My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion was a particular favourite) which prompted my family to throw numerous cushions at me. Alas, no encore from them.

8. I'm nocturnal.

9. One of the most surreal things that ever happened to me occurred in college. I was finished for the day and decided to go shopping. After I'd finished, I walked out and not two seconds later came face to face with my English teacher from secondary school. Awkward. We asked each other what we'd been up to and then as the conversation carried on she told me that she thought I had been the best at English from the class I was in. That was a really big compliment from her. Yeah, I was in shock. I think I'm still in shock:o

10. I take forever to make a decision on anything.

Hah, that's it. It took really long to come up with this list. If you've somehow managed to get to the end, I commend you;)
