A blog. Space where I can voice all my thoughts, desires and dreams... or maybe not. I imagine this to be like a diary, but better 'coz it doesn't matter whether you finish writing on all the pages or not - the pages are never ending. So... seeing as this is my life under the microscope, I thought I'd start with 10 facts about me. 10, for me, is feasible... 100 not so...
10. I study Urban Design at RMIT. This means that I will end up being an architect for whole towns/suburbs. I don't know if I love it or hate it - I have my days... but in the end it's going to get me a job that is in high demand.
9. I love the taste of coffee, but haven't had one in a while because I'm scared that I'll become addicted and have withdrawal symptoms (for example, constant headaches, shaking hands... need I say more?) when there's no coffee around for me to have.
8. I also love tea. In Germany they have a huge range of fruit teas, that don't really even taste like tea... but they taste really good. I have mine black with no sugar... mm tea. Here in Oz, I just drink Green Tea or Black Tea and on the odd occassion, chinese tea at a chinese restaurant...
7. I can't stand bad drivers. Especially the Asian women who can't see over the steering wheel of their 4WD. I mean, why can't they get a smaller car for goodness sakes! It'll be safer for them and for us!
6. I want to do a reality TV show with all my friends. The scenario would be that we've all been sent back to do Year 12 and they taken our cars, drivers licenses, mobile phones, credit cards, and we'd have limited funds in our bank accounts. I just want to know who'd last the longest... who'd come out with the highest ENTER score, who'd be the class clown, who would wag the most days, etc... you get the idea.
5. I lived in Germany for a year. I didn't understand a word of German when I arrived, and my host family didn't speak a word of English. For the first two months we had yellow post-it notes on every piece of furniture, appliance and even on the cutlery that had the names of these appliances/furniture/cutlery written on them. These yellow pieces of paper saved me.
4. My greatest fear is the fear of failure... followed closely by a fear of spiders, heights and getting fat. Oh, and I hate confrontation... I'd rather just not talk to the person than confront them about their problem...
3. When watching a movie with underwater scenes, I hold my breath (subconsciously) until the camera comes above water. I almost passed out once doing this - only because I didn't realise I was doing it. That being said, "Finding Nemo" was an exhausting movie to watch.
2. I once brought home the tail of a mouse in my lunch box. It was a mouse we dissected at school that day. It was supposed to be a surprise for my mum. Needless to say, mum was surprised (I could tell by the way she screamed). She cracked it and didn't talk to me until I apologised.
1. I shaved my head in 2002. Just for fun. I was in Germany at the time, and I sent all my hair back to a friend in Oz who buried it in their backyard. If I could turn back time, I think I would still have done it... and given the chance, I may do it again...
That took just under 2 hours to do... can't imagine how long it would've taken me to do 100... I'm exhausted!
