11 things you didn't know about me

1. I'm incredibly shy and awkward around new people. I've lost a lot of confidence over the years due to losing friends etc but it has made me more wary who I point a finger to and label as a 'best friend'.

2. I was a tom-boy when growing up. I was never really into makeup etc and was even on my school's football team for two years (I then changed schools). I owned a few football kits and I mean the whole shirt, shorts, socks + trainers sh'bang! I've grown out of that stage now. I will never be a girly girl who adores the colour pink for example, but I have never touched a football since I was 14!

3. I can play the Piano. I started learning in year 4 and stopped when I left my final year at secondary school. 7 years! I was never graded though!

4. I get along better with boys than girls. I literally have always had more boy mates than girls. I guess this relates to my tomboyish ways, but I really do prefer 'hanging with the boys'. I used to hang out quite a lot around the ages of 14-17 but sadly I don't talk to any of the same people anymore! However, I have started talking to some old friends recently and I've never been happier. I've also grown incredibly close to someone at work who means the world to me. I honestly believe you have to go through a handful of shit friendships before you find a true gem!

5. I never wear jeans. I used to wear them non-stop when I was younger but now I just don't. I only have two pairs and they stay folded up in my drawers! I feel so awkward in them, like my legs are being suffocated or something!

6. I don't really have any phobias. However, sheep really freak me out. Straws that are all together make me feel sick and so does pasta when it's boiling standing up. I think it's the holes, ew! I also generically hate spiders, moths and any kind of bug.

7. I really love animals. I often walk home and stroke cats and feed birds.

8. I may have been a twin! My Mum was told that she may have been carrying twins but either way if she was, he/she died </3

9. I can't stand mess. It annoys me when people don't clean up after themselves and leave it for others to do. BACTERIA LIVES & SPREADS KIDS!

10. I have no idea what I want to do with my life! Growing up, I've wanted to be a Vet, english teacher, asda checkout lady, zoologist and a magazine journalist.

11. I'm not just English! My family (Mum's side, on my Grandad's side) are all from America. My actual surname originates from Ireland though. I have a huge family in America and I can't wait to visit there one day! I am close to my dear Cousin Damien. We have never met but we always keep in contact via email! So hello if you are reading :-)
