One Hundred Things About Me.

I've seen this done on blogs before. They're usually pretty entertaining (at least to me). So I thought I'd give it a go, something a little more joyous and insightful than my last post ^o^.

100. I was named after a 1970's-early 1990's Australian children's television show presenter.

99. If my mum didn't give me this name, I would have been either a Melissa or Michelle.

98. I've had my mobile phone for 3-4 years. It is not a colour phone, and doesn't have any nifty camera actions. I call it 'vintage'.

97. I am immediately attracted to people of the Aries star sign. I often feel a connection to them and automatically want to know more about them or be their friend.

96. Music is my life. I have an obsession with sounds.

95. I have one sister and two brothers. I am the third, and generally...middle child.

94. I don't think I got middle child syndrome, however. Being the middle child has it's perks.

93. The first John Mayer songs that got me instantly hooked on him in 2003, were 'Your Body Is A Wonderland' and 'Comfortable'.

92. Nomatter how many memories I forget, I remember that one as clear as day. My sister was having a shower and I was pressing the speakers to my ears and smiling in delight, because I had found such awesomeness.

91. I don't have a best friend. I have close friends.

90. I have myopia in my eyes and therefore need glasses to see distances clearly.

89. I am terrible with streets and street names. Half the time, I don't know where I am.

88. I am very protective of myself and will not easily let you in.

87. I like laughing and making jokes (even lame ones).

86. I laugh at my own jokes more than other people laugh at them.

85. In the A7X video for 'Bat Country', Synyster's solo moves=making love to his guitar. Do you know how long I've been waiting to tell someone that?

84. I don't get very sick very often.

83. I used to suffer from an anxiety disorder, now I just deal with it.

82. I'm really good at ignoring things/people.

81. When I grow up I want to be a rockstar.

80. I'm Catholic and quite religious.

79. I'm intrigued by the dead and the spirit world and spend time researching and trying to find paranormal activity.

78. I love to cook.

77. I pick/bite/cut off the dead skin around my nails and on my fingertip calluses (from playing guitar.)

76. I bite at my nails, but never bite them off.

75. I don't like playing music for my family.

74. I am a check-out chick, so how are you today and would you like this in a bag?

73. I have no middle name.

72. I live inside my head and dream too much.

71. I write.

70. If all else fails, I want to be a journalist. If that fails. I'll figure something else out...which brings me onto my next point...

69. "Which number am I think of?" "69!!!"--> I enjoy 80's and 90's movies like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Wayne's World 1 and 2 and Sixteen Candles.

68. A lot of people I know or casually meet love the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas." I've never seen it, but know more about this movie than any other movie I have not seen due to all these people and plain curiosity.

67. I only like manipulating sounds and words (and play-doh). People hate you if you manipulate them, so I don't.

66. I generally can't choose favourites. So I make fake favourites of things that I like a lot, just to make people happy. Pink is my 'favourite' colour, and 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' is my 'favourite' movie.

65. I get easily obsessed.

64. These obsessions have their moments and fade. Then come back again.

63. I used to wonder how teachers with lolly jars never used to eat all the lollies inside. Such self-control.

62. I was born with a Hernia and had to have an operation when I was 11 days old.

61. I love scars. They always have the best stories. I can tell you a story for just about all of scars on my body.

60. One of these scars came from when I was 5. I accidentally spilled boiling water onto my left thigh and burnt it.

59. I cringe when I hear crappy imitations of accents.

58. I sometimes get up at weddings with my cousin onto an empty dance floor and dance like an idiot while people watch in an attempt to make more people come and dance.

57. Dictionaries distract me. I go to one to look up one word...then end up dwelling upon other pages because I see new and interesting words I want to know. Wikipedia has the same effect on me.

56. I used to read Encyclopaedia's a lot. I like general knowledge.

55. I don't like doing Bob Tasman's singing exercises not because they're bad, but because they remind me of my old keyboard teacher.

54. I believe I'm going to get cancer.

53. I will never get a tattoo.

52. I have trouble watching TV, not because there's not anything good on (that's the problem), it's that I can't make a decision on only watching ONE thing.

51. I enjoy watching infomercials. They suck me in. Gahh, if only I had a credit card...I'd be a hairagami wearing, 60's music collection listening, magic bullet using person... in debt.

50. I love thinking about intricacies of life and analysing other people.

49. Sometimes I get lost in thought so much that I don't believe I exist anymore. It's really scary when I do that. The only way I bring myself back is by reminding myself who I am.

48. I don't like watching Dora The Explorer. At all.

47. I love clothes but I don't love fashion.

46. I don't know how to whistle.

45. I've never had a boyfriend.

44. I don't like eating raw tomatoes, anchovies, pink Extra gum, coffee, tea, alcohol, Yakult and most beans. The only thing I get made to eat is the beans. (And the Yakult when I'm sick).

43. I press really hard when I write and colour in in pencil. I dislike writing lightly or with light coloured pens.

42. I sing in two choirs.

41. I have incorrect pen grip, and like it that way.

40. Google holds the answer to most of my problems.

39. I like reading the back of shampoo bottles, make-up, toilet roll bags, instructions etc.

38. I just like reading in general. Fiction is an escape, and I remember things better when they have been written down. I'm not good with the whole verbal communication only thing.

37. I like extremes a lot.

36. I am a contradiction.

35. I don't want to get older.

34. I believe in Girl Power!

33. I like cats.

32. My teeth are not perfectly straight.

31. When I buy clothing I don't think about how I'm going to look in it a lot of the time. If it makes me happy enough...

30. People intimidate me a lot.

29. I pretend like I'm not scared/intimidated. It get's me through many situations.

28. Sometimes I like to dwell, and sometimes I like to laugh things off.

27. I love getting and making mix CD's.

26. I hate mediocrity.

25. I often talk to people after accidental suicide attempts. I don't know if I've gotten any better at it.

24. Can you tell I like pretending to be a counsellor/psychologist?

23. I want to design and make my own clothes.

22. I am not afraid of bees, but have been stung by them twice.

21. There's a certain shade of purple I dislike, and certain shade I like. I call them yukky purple and nice purple.

20. If I was living through the things I lived through as a child, I don't know how I'd cope because I would be fully aware of the situations for once.

19. I don't have an mp3 player.

18. My signature is the product and was influenced of an episode of a show called 'Eerie Indiana'.

17. I think 17 is the perfect age.

16. I've never seen a complete Star Wars movie and don't intend to.

15. When I was younger I didn't believe in boy and girl germs.

14. Chocolate Nesquik is my all-time favourite drink, and I can say that it is truthfully my favourite and not my 'favourite' ^o^.

13. I say stupid things. A lot.

12. I dislike the cold immensely, and therefore wear a lot of clothing in winter.

11. I enjoy Autumn and Summer the most, but I like all the seasons. Only Spring sometimes annoys me...

10. I always fall for people who don't like me back.

9. I like listening to the rain and the thunderstorms when I'm in bed.

8. I sleep on the right side of my bed, because the left is closest to the window, and when I was younger, I thought this meant that the robbers/murderers would get to me quicker if I was on the left.

7. I learned to accept the dark as simply a place with no light and therefore lost fear of it.

6. I listen to Green Day's "Time Of Your Life" before or after changing events.

5. I still haven't changed my mobile phone clock to the right time. It's still set to be an hour ahead.

4. That often confuses me. Especially when I wake up at 5:30am, thinking it's 6:30am and I freak out.

3. I love sleeping. I don't get enough sleep in my opinion.

2. I don't like it when people call me Helz.

1. I hope I didn't screw up any of the numbers. If I do...blame it on my lack of mathematical skills.



THE END.
