Seven is a magic number
I’ve been tagged by queen_haq and chaotic4life!
1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.
Here goes...
1. I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian, from the moment I was capable of functional thought. As a wee tomboy-girl who wouldn’t wear dresses or skirts, that was it - no astronauts, no air stewardesses, nothing. Don’t ask me why I’ve ended up working in London local goverment in strategy & projects (mainly performance management and equalities), sitting in an office, day after day.
2. I was impatient to be born. The nurse tried to push me back in as the doctor wasn’t in the room. Because of this, I ended up being one of my grandmother’s birthday presents that day - yay! Impatience is therefore part of my make-up. If you’re late, I’m cranky.
3. I keep lists. I am a List Monkey. Everything goes into a list - where I want to travel, the weekly grocery shop (actually, there’s a template and I leave blanks on the fridge to tick stuff off as we use them up), my collection of DVDs and books (including where in the world they’re stored, and a wishlist too of course), etc. It borders on an OCD. All my friends automatically turn to me when the subject of/need for a list comes up.
4. My mother wanted to call me Juniper. JUNIPER?! Srsly! Thank god someone talked sense into her. Speaking of mothers, I develop an eyelid twitch and nervous cough before she comes to visit. Every. Single. Time.
5. I make a mean lychee martini. It helps to have a high alcohol tolerance, and I can keep up with most boys. But if I have one more tequila shot, I’m going to barf on your shoes.
6. Children and marriage are not my thing. Babies cry when they’re put in my arms, and I’m not going near a used nappy. I don’t see the need for weddings, and rings, and the three-tiered cake. I’m in a committed relationship (10 years in exactly a fortnight) and that’s that.
7. I inherited my mother’s quasi-OCD about hygiene and cleanliness. No feet near the head of the bed, nothing that’s touched the ground should go anywhere else but the ground, I must shower before going to bed (no matter how tired, drunk or late), and loads of other things that drive Matt insane. That said, I’ve managed to control those headtwitch urges when I travel.
