100 Facts
100 things about Elizabeth that you didn’t really want to know but she just went right ahead and told you anyway.
(A work in progress)
|
001
|
I have favourite shades of many different colours. One day, when I am running the world, there will be lots more colours. |
|
002
|
If my house was on fire I would take my dog, my journals, DVD backups of my photos and my camera. Most of my sentimental stuff gets pasted into my journals, or ends up there in the form of a photo. |
|
003
|
I am accident-prone, and am always bumping into walls and doorways. Luckily, I don’t bruise easily. |
|
004
|
I adore thunderstorms, and love to turn out the lights and listen to the rain. Unfortunately, I always end up having to put loud music on to distract my shivering dog from the thunder. |
|
005
|
I wish I could sew. I would make a lot of bags, skirts, and stuffed toys. |
|
006
|
At any given moment there is a song stuck on repeat in my brain. This ranges from Awesome to Seriously Annoying, depending on the song and how long it’s been looping. |
|
007
|
I am a girl who needs 8 hours of sleep each night, or I turn into a green-faced, wart-covered troll that eats children. It’s awkward. |
|
008
|
I have an unhealthy addiction to specialty paper. I’m not all that keen on scrapbooking in the traditional sense, but I love turning beautiful paper into cards or pretty pages in my journal. The spines of my journals hate me. |
|
009
|
Unless I can find the perfect card in a shop, I prefer to make them. |
|
010
|
I am afraid of big harmless spiders, but not the little deadly ones. |
|
011
|
I drink 2-3L of water every single day. I’m pretty sure I was chronically dehydrated for most of my teens, and now I can’t drink enough of the stuff. I carry a water bottle with me wherever I go. |
|
012
|
I wish somebody had taken me aside at the age of 14 and told me that that perm was probably not such a good idea. |
|
013
|
I’ve never really found the number 13 to be unlucky. I’m not particularly superstitious at all. |
|
014
|
I’m not big on astrology either, but I do fit the description of a textbook Pisces. |
|
015
|
All my friends are inspirational people who are incredible at what they do. |
|
016
|
My dog has learned words and phrases without my conscious effort. He eavesdrops when I’m on the phone, races to the bathroom mat when I mention the shower, and hides when I even think about bathing him. |
|
017
|
I wish I was vegetarian, but I just don’t want to live in a world without steak and bacon. I am weak that way. |
|
018
|
My life plan is simple: accidentally invent something really cool, that financially supports me for the rest of my life. |
|
019
|
My favourite things to drink: water (sometimes with lemon juice and mint leaves), chai lattes, sweet milky tea and apple/blackcurrant juice. |
|
020
|
In highschool, my best friend and I kept a list of words that sounded funny. Like snorkel. |
|
021
|
I am a night person. I become creative, inspired and productive after about 10pm and end up sleeping too little, or too late. |
|
022
|
I am in a perpetual state of de-cluttering and purging. A couple of times a year I will get rid of a huge pile of things that I don’t need, but I still own too much "stuff". |
|
023
|
I am scared of big insects that fly, like grasshoppers and QLD’s giant cockroaches. It is partly due to a dream I had when I was five years old. |
|
024
|
I dream very vividly, especially just before I wake. Sometimes I have conversations with people and have trouble remembering later whether it was real or imagined. |
|
025
|
Despite the way that came out, I am actually quite sane. |
|
026
|
According to the internet, I am ENFP. |
|
027
|
I prefer Coke to Pepsi. I prefer water to either of them. |
|
028
|
I want to learn how to play upright bass. This probably won’t happen, since I have tiny little hands and they cost a fortune. |
|
029
|
I want to learn how to play the clarinet. However, seeing as wind instruments send my dog into a fit of spontaneous howling, this probably won’t happen either. |
|
030
|
I think I’m a pretty good cook, and I enjoy it when I can take my time. |
|
031
|
I wear glasses sometimes, because of a slight astigmatism. My vision is a bit blurry at all distances, but I can get by without my glasses without any trouble. |
|
032
|
I have a 97yo grandmother who still lives independently and cooks for herself. She only recently gave up her driving license. Let’s hope I got those genes, hey? |
|
033
|
I am a slave to shoes. And bags. But mostly shoes. |
|
034
|
When I was a teenager I fractured my coccyx. One of my friends pulled my chair out from under me as I went to sit down, and I landed hard on a concrete floor. Hurt a bit. |
|
035
|
Aside from that, I’ve never broken any bones. |
|
036
|
I’ve never had any fillings or braces either - I’m really lucky to have straight teeth. |
|
037
|
I let my parents think that I believed in Santa for at least 3 years after discovering the truth. It seemed profitable. |
|
038
|
One year my brother gave me a dirty brick for Christmas. It was wrapped in about 30 different layers of paper and boxes, and he really made me think that it was going to be something special. |
|
039
|
Ten years later I reciprocated with a CD that I found for $1.50, Pan Pipes Play “The Bee Gees”. He tells me it is now holding up a grand piano somewhere. |
|
040
|
I have somehow made it to this point in my life without ever taking a drag of a cigarette. |
|
041
|
I don’t like to gamble, and I find casinos tacky and sad. Even the “good” ones. |
|
042
|
I will never skydive, bungee jump, or do anything else that involves me throwing myself from a great height towards the Earth. I think my fear of heights is completely rational. |
|
043
|
On the other hand, I’m really looking forward to my first flight in a hot air balloon. |
|
044
|
I am really clear-headed and rational in an emergency. I’m good at taking a deep breath and seeing what needs to be done. |
|
045
|
I think grapes are pretty awesome, but I like them best when they’re frozen. I keep a stash in my freezer. |
