Hi everyone! I have just joined Specktra so I hope this list will serve as a good introduction.
1. I have an honours degree in English and American Literature which I obtained this year, therefore I have accumulated enough books to open a library.
2. I love cats. Whenever I see a cat I turn to mush! I reckon cats know everything and constantly observe the world around them - although they can be very silly sometimes!
3. Despite being 21, I haven't passed my driving test yet... I am too lazy and never have the time. And anyway it's silly to drive a car in central London.
4. I love avocados, cheese, roast chicken and potatoes, hummous and fish and chips. I have fish and chips at least 3 times a week.
5. I have no idea what to do with my life. I have seriously contemplated being a teacher, journalist, editor, and even a paramedic.
6. I am obsessed with BBC comedy shows. I own all of Absolutely Fabulous, Bottom, Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers, The Smoking Room, The Mighty Boosh etc. on DVD.
I love comedy shows as they always make me feel better after a long horrible day. My idea of a perfect evening on my own is to have a comedy DVD marathon with lots of yummy food.
7. I have a very big family. Counting in-laws and second cousins, I have about 50 cousins altogether. I have two sisters, one who is 17 and one who is 8. I am very over-protective of the little one.
8. No matter how much I complain about the expense, noise, weather, pollution, insane amounts of tourists clogging up the underground trains etc... I will always love London. Although it can be grim and cold, it's a very beautiful place. Nevertheless I have always contemplated leaving it all and moving into a lovely country home with chintzy print curtains and a pond in the garden. I would have four children, bake bread and cakes and drive a 4x4.
9. I don't think sarcasm is funny... at all. It's unoriginal and gets boring.
10. My parents are from Morocco and they lived there before coming to England. I was born in London and go to Morocco in the summer to visit the family.
11. I have an anti-racist, very liberal, pro-choice, live-and-let-live attitude to life.
12. I have always had an issue with my teeth. I wore braces for three years and I'm still not happy with them even though they are relatively straight and white. When I'm rich one day I'll have cosmetic dentistry.
13. I was bullied in secondary school (high school) for a bit. It was pretty horrible but I never got depressed about it even though it was hell. I still see the bullies to this day and I'm always the one smiling as they turned out to be losers and bums.
14. I met my boyfriend at secondary school. He left his number in my pencil case as he was too shy to ask. It was four years after until we got together.
15. I can't watch horror movies as I have an over-active imagination.
16. I don't really like chocolate and sweets. I prefer savory foods.
17. I really really really want an iPhone but I just can't afford it!
18. My favourite holiday so far has been to Japan. It was surreal! I am definitely going back in a couple of years.
19. Although I love technology, I hate mobile phones. Sometimes I just want to be left alone. I always get the compulsion to throw my boyfriends mobile in the toilet as it always rings at dinner and in the middle of a conversation.
20. I have a digital SLR (Canon 400D) and I try to take it everywhere with me. I hate the feeling of when I see something really cool or important and I don't have a camera. It kills me to think that I could've taken a photo that a newspaper would pay me lots of money for.
That's all! I could go on forever but I don't want to bore everyone!
