Facts About Me

Inspired by Peige's and Becky's posts, I thought I'd do a post in a similar format! So have twenty facts, given I'm in that life stage as of writing.

1. I have patches on my bag for three Spanish cities, but I found them in a Melbourne op-shop.
2. I've never been in a relationship, and have no plans to change that.
3. I was homeschooled for my high-school years.
4. I used to read the dictionary for fun (and loved those big trivia books.)
5. Horrible Histories was how I taught myself the humanities as a child.
6. My favorite television channel growing up was Disney XD.
7. I like animated films better than live-action.
8. I've never visited Australia's west coast or southern-most tip.
9. I'd love to research my family history one day.
10. I adore community theatre, yet have never been on stage nor do I like musicals.
11. Early mornings are my favorite, I run out of steam as the day goes on.
12. I've perhaps read over a thousand books at this point.
13. I don't like butter, cream, chocolate, peanuts, or sweets.
14. I love trying 'unusual foods' to an extent. Sea urchin or eel sushi? Sure! Raw oysters? Delicious. Tripe or haggis? No thank you. I'll…pass.
15. In two years, I've gone from being terrified of the terminal to having four sites and learning to code. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but it's fun.
16. I'm highly sensitive to taste and sensation, yet smells and temperature often barely register.
17. I'm hyper-detail-orientated, but struggle to maintain a sense of forward momentum.
18. Only learned to touch-type three years ago, and wish I'd forced myself sooner.
19. Have a ridiculous romantic notion of wanting to be as profound as other writers are in their journals, but it's mostly just copious complaining and circling the same old issues.
20. I love books about books. The more, the better!
