Some more things about me

As i cant think of anything else to write at the moment i thought i would write a few more things about me

• I used to drink loads of orange juice easily 2-3 litres per day, so one day i decided to stop drinking it, it was really weird as when i stopped i got ill, i got headaches and felt sick, if i let myself have a little bit of orange juice i felt better, so im guessing i was addicted to orange juice, sounds weird huh....

• I love to read, from an early age i was read too and i was encouraged to read books by myself, i remember reading a book by myself, im guessing 9 years old, it could have been earlier but im not sure...i am always reading and can loose myself easily into any book, if i dont read i start to feel strange as if part of me is missing, hehe at one stage i think i got through almost every Barbara Cartland book, i rarely read love stories anymore, but at the time i was reading Barbara's ones i enjoyed them...

• I love to play World of Warcraft, i can easily spend hours on there playing away and sometimes dont get off the computer till 4am, which makes it hard to wake the next day...

• I do volunteer work, ive been doing it now for around 10 years or so, i started of working for St Vinnies, but now work for another place where i talk to people who have mental health issues make them feel worth being around and help people find jobs, put together a bi-monthly newsletter that goes around the area i work...

• I have a bad habit of playing with the skin around my nails, i pull the skin off when it feels dry...

• I have very hard nails, if i go to scratch someone i hold back a bit as i dont want to pull any skin away which i can easily do, my nails also grow pretty well, even though they grow in weird shapes.....when i was younger i did something to the pointer finger on my right hand (i cant remember what i did), but i remember it growing back really weirdly, now the way the nail grows, it takes skin up with it, imagine the feeling you have when something is under your fingernail and it is annoying, i always have that........ive had my finger nail taken off to see if that was the problem but the problem is still there.....

• I have something called Lingual Tonsils, what that means is that the tonsil tissue has grown into my tongue, hence my tonsils are at the back of my tongue, i have a really bad gag reflex from it, i cant have things in my mouth much or i feel as if im going to gag, sometimes having a toothbrush can cause the problem, ive had my tonsils taken out twice, the first time when i was around 5 (i got told he didnt cut them out properly and left some of the tonsil tissue in my throat), then second time when i was 15, but as i said i have lingual tonsils, so i still have my tonsils hehehe........

• When i was young around 3 or 4 years old i pulled a cup of coffee onto my head, burning my face and scalp a little, my mum told me that one of my eyes had a big blister over it but it eventually went away......you can see the scar tissue on my forehead only when i get sunburnt as it goes redder, i have a problem when i go to a hairdresser, when they use the hairdryer on me i have to tell them to be careful of my forehead, which some of them forget to do grrrr......

• If i get sad i write poems and i do have some of the poems i wrote on this blog, but lately i havent been sad so i havent been able to add any poems on here, not that im complaining....

• Between the ages of 16 and 18 i was taught to cook at TAFE, i didnt get a certificate from the course as i had to do science and i really cant get my head around science, my brain seems to work better with being able to see examples.......i did learn to cook though and can make many types of food, but ask me to cook something simple like steak of sausages im a little confused, i know the principle of cooking them but its not something i can do as easily as something fancy say like a greek chicken pie....

• I love learning trivia, you could call me a geek but i just love it, i love finding out things like. When you blush, your stomach lining also reddens.... i think this type of stuff is cool

• I have 4 nephews and 1 niece, one of my nephews and my niece are by marriage, so i find it weird calling them my niece and nephew as i didnt really have very much to do with them....

• My big toe is longer than my second toe, not sure what that means, but there ya go.....

• Both of my parents are dead, my dad dying about 15 years ago and my mum dying around 5 years ago, i wear my mums wedding ring, but as she had smaller fingers than me i wear it on my little finger, so i dont loose it i wear another ring in front of it, the ring is probably not worth much, but it is my mums and it would hurt me alot if i lost it

• I love to do any type of craft work like sewing, painting, knitting, decoupage, sticking things together, making jewellery (i rarely buy earrings i make my own to suit) i have sold some of the things i make but i get easily bored with what im doing and move onto the next thing...

• Im a horder and alot of times it annoys me i wish i could throw away some of the stuff i have, and before you say why dont i, i often do, every now and then i sit down and go through things i own and get rid of them

Now to think of something else i can write about next time hmmm
