Don't you forget about me

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm firmly in exam period (10 days to go until my degree is over!) and I think I'm starting to go a little mad with the lack of regular human contact. Naturally, in the midst of this existential crisis, I thought what better time than now to let those kind souls who read my blog know a bit more about me. So here you are, a few (pointless) facts about yours truly:

1. When I was a child I had a pet guinea-pig that I named Harvey; his namesake was, of course, the character from Sabrina the teenage witch.
2. I have never been blessed with musical talent. Apart from my ability to play the eastenders theme tune on the recorder.
3. I'm pretty skilled at hula-hooping.
4. I'm allergic to walnuts; despite this I made my dad his favourite coffee and walnut cake when I got my nose pierced so he couldn't stay mad at me and managed to make my face swell up in the process.
5. I have double-jointed elbows.
6. I've never dyed my hair- for all the little things I'd like to change about myself, I actually really like my hair colour, which after countless conversations over it has now been categorised firmly as the definition of strawberry blonde.
7. I'm a virgo. I sort of believe in the whole star signs thing- though not the standard 'wear pink on the 13th of the month and you'll meet the love of your life' magazine type- but I am pretty close to the typical virgo description in that I like to be organised and can be pretty critical, but I like to think I'm loyal too.
8. I used to have a pretty bad fear of hotel beds. I know, it's bizarre, but to me the fact that they're so perfectly made makes them feel somehow..unclean. I'm sort of over it now, as in I can actually get into them (I used to sleep on top of the covers) but they still make me feel a bit weird.
9. I have a bit of a 'shot glasses from around the world' collection including Paris, New York, Amsterdam, Munich and Dublin. 
10. My phone case has 'The Kiss' by Gustav Klimt on it and I also have a poster of that print in my room. I first saw it in an art gallery in Munich with my two best friends from home and it just makes me happy. 

I think that's enough unnecessary facts for one day; now it's time for me to get back to learning some very necessary facts...
