Instead of posting a 'love' post, I thought I'd upload some facts about me. I read a post the other day that was random facts about the blogger. Not any specific facts but things that most people, even people in real life, wouldn't know. So, here goes: 

1. I use my phone as a 'panic button' in uncomfortable social situations. I've started to make a conscious effort to not look at my phone when I'm around others - but I still have a lot of work to do. 

2. I'm bilingual - German and English...

3. I organise every book on my bookshelf alphabetically by the authors last name, except for cookbooks, which I organise by colour because they look prettier. 

4. In my life, I've had a total of 9 piercings but I only currently have 5 in.

5. I hate making food that requires a lot of cleaning up. In fact, I will try to avoid cooking foods that are messy to clean up at any cost...

6. I can't and won't stand up for myself in most situations. This is partly (probably more than partly) to do with the fact that I hate confrontation and always try to avoid it. 

7. For the most part, I hate the taste of alcohol - yet I continue to drink it. Ah, how do I put this in vague yet understandable terms? It has to do with the people I hang around with... And I guess ties in with not being able to stand up for myself.  

8. I have a pile of books on my bedside table that I've been planning on reading for almost a year now but haven't touched. 

9. I once played Roxie in a musical version of Chicago... which meant singing and dancing simultaneously - I learnt that I'm very uncoordinated. 

10. If I'm reading I can't have any background noise... Except the ocean.
