01. Only one person has ever guessed this but I am actually mixed race. My mum is Anglo-Indian which makes me half Anglo-Indian, half English. It seems odd that I'm one of the palest people around considering everyone on my mum's side of the family has really dark skin.
02. I used to be really into acting and achieved up to Grade 6 in the LAMDA exams. I was also involved in many productions at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley including Boogie Nights & The Witches where I got to be the Grand High Witch!
03. I'm probably the worst person to be blogging about lipsticks because my bottom lip is completely wonky. When I was about 3 years old my sister placed a Daim bar on top of a shelving unit which I then climbed to reach the chocolate bar. I fell, my lip split in two and I had to have stitches which are still visible under my lip today.
04. I used to have Snakebites & an Industrial piercing. My ears are still stretched to 10mm.
05. I've been dyeing my hair different colours since I was 9 years old.
06. I used to be a really fussy eater and would make my mum prepare my food in a certain way such as pick out all the kidney beans from my portion of chilli. Now I eat almost everything except fish, peppers, mushrooms & lamb.
07. Some of my friends & I used to pretty much stalk Busted & McFly. We used to call ourselves 'The Tramps'. We would to go to as many CD:UK & TOTP recordings that they were on as possible & would get drunk at 7am on the train so we could seem cool if they happened to talk to us (because drunk 16 year olds are so cool!). We even walked around random houses in North Finchley trying to find the house that McFly shared. Personal highlights of our stalky times were meeting Harry from McFly in the Camden Barfly and being invited onto the Fightstar tourbus outside Leeds Met Student Union (yes we travelled from London just to see them & so began my love affair with Leeds!). Charlie stole my cigarettes & my friend had a wee outside their bus because she didn't want to ask to use their toilet. Ahh memories!
08. My style icon & favourite actress is Chloe Sevigny. I wish I could be even half as cool as she is.
09. I've been bullied over my weight since Infant School where the other kids would call me 'Little Miss Piggy'.
10. I have been on holiday to France, Germany, Spain & America. I worked in a record shop in Spain for two weeks as part of my Spanish A-Level. In 2008 I went to New York twice; once for my birthday & once for Christmas. In future I'd like to visit Japan & more places in America.
11. My first ever celebrity crush was Christian Slater in Heathers. I still use his 'greetings & salutations' line all the time (eg. my blog sidebar!).
12. I used to be really depressed when I was about 15 years old. The only thing that made me feel better was listening to The Smashing Pumpkins. They have been my favourite band ever since and I have a tattoo of their logo on my right forearm.
13. I am allergic to nuts, nickel, pollen & lime.
14. My friends & I used to be into Wicca when we were at school. I bought a ton of books about it & loads of supplies such as candles & crystals but never actually got round to doing any spells or practicing it as a religion. The closest we got was reciting the spells out of our Buffy The Vampire Slayer series companion books.
15. I have a slight phobia of walking down stairs. I still do it like a million times a day but it does panic me a bit if someones coming up on the side I'm coming down on or theres no bannister to hold on to. I always think that I'm going to trip & break my neck so I often just take one step at a time or walk down them sideways, like a crab.
16. I did have braces when I was younger but I accidentally threw away my retainer with my lunch one day. The dentist had made me sign a contract saying I would never take off the retainer and I was scared that I'd broken the contract so I never went and got a new one. Hence my wonky teeth. Its one of my biggest regrets in life!
17. I've been around on the Internet since I was 12 years old. I started off by posting in the Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden Pokemon forums before making my own anime fansites on Geocities. I then moved onto Livejournal before owning various personal domains. Even though I no longer post in my Livejournal I still visit OhNoTheyDidn't & Off_Highstreet every day.
18. The first album I ever owned was Bat Out Of Hell II by Meat Loaf.
19. I'm obsessed with RPGs. I would never LARP but I do love MMORPGs such as Phantasy Star Online & Ragnarok Online. I used to spend hours playing them every day. Its a good job I have a Macbook Pro now that can't run them or I would literally get nothing done. My favourite video game of all time is Shining Force 2 on the Mega Drive.
20. I love spicy food and put either Tabasco Sauce, Sriracha or Nando's Sauce on pretty much every savoury meal.
