I promised myself that once I got to 10 followers, I would post some information about myself. Thanks to Sarah yesterday, I have 10! So here goes. I compiled a list of 50 random things about me, you don't have to read them all, but the information is there.

2. I've lived in 3 different countries on 2 continents

4. The same goes for lavender. It makes me feel calm
5. I have a love/hate relationship with the smell of aviation fuel

7. I hate egg yolks
8. I would love to take trapeze lessons some day

20. I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys when I was a teenager, and their music still makes me happy
21. I had front row tickets to the last show of the Millennium Tour, and will never forget it
22. I love the smell of rain

27. I'm an only child

ReplyDeleteI love lists too, I find it fascinating to see what other people put on theirs. Thanks so much for posting and for being follower # 11!
I love this post! These types of lists are so much fun to read. It was strange, as I was reading through, I couldn't help but think how similar we are! I've also lived on 3 different countries in 2 continents, am very tall (6'0), love to colour, am left handed, love Harry Potter,rarely forget names, and collect pretty shopping bags from expensive stores! Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine :)

39. That's a good thing, I think. It helps remain positive sometimes.
@ H, that's really cool, it sounds like we are a lot alike. What countries have you lived in? Mine are Canada, Germany and Switzerland.
