50th Post - Things About Me!

I was struggling to come up with a good 50th post. Most people seem to do contests or giveaways for important numbers, but as the 50th has kind of sneaked up on me I've opted out. I need some time to think up a unisex prize! So my first giveaway will be on the 101st post!

I decided that for the 50th post I will tell you some junk about me! You probably think you know some good stuff already, but I'm going to give you more!! Yes, I am feeding your addiction! I'm not sure what number I'll go to as I'm not sure how much I'll be able to think up!! Here goes nothing...

1. I have a handbag fetish, but they have to be ridiculously small

2. I'm really easily scared

3. I'm a qualified lifeguard

4. I know all the words to 80% of songs by Harry Chapin (test me if you like lol)

5. I got a tattoo on my back when I was 17 - before it was "the thing to have"

6. I've never watched a Star Wars movie

7. My bestie moved to Australia 2 years ago and I'm still sad about it

8. I have dreams 6/7 nights a week

9. I've totally abandoned my other blog over the past 3 weeks in favour of this one!!!!

10. My hair is very long and occasionally tucks in my pants! - That's the hair on my head BTW.

11. The photo attached to this post is where I live (and was taken last night)

12. My parents had a house in Florida until I was 15

13. The only famous person I've ever met was Joe Lawrence from Blossom (lol), but my boss knows Chris Martin from Coldplay (nah, I didn't think that counted either)

14. I would rather laugh and pretend I'm ok than cry and let someone in

15. I'm addicted to Gossip Girl

16. I love Ed Westwick / Chuck Bass!!!!!

17. I think I might need glasses / contacts, but don't want to admit it (other than to you)

18. I tell people I've never smoked - but I did (bad girl!) but only for about 2 weeks!

19. My name is Jennifer but it's only used when I'm being told off!

20. When I was little I had an ENT check and ignored the doctor because she called me Jennifer. She sent me to a hearing specialist as she thought I was deaf - clearly just ignorant!

21. I don't have any middle names

22. I can bake a pretty good cake!

23. I procrastinate...a lot

24. I've lost my ability to tell lies (possibly a good thing that I believe comes with age)

25. I can text without looking at the screen with no spellcheck

26. I hum to fill silences

27. I love the sound of rain hitting plastic / glass

28. I'm 100% nonreligious

29. I believe teaching about masturbation in schools would reduce teenage pregnancies

30. I have no idea what I want to do when I "grow up"

31. I used to cut my arms (until I was 18) but to this day I have no idea why!

32. I'm not very good at understanding myself

33. I learned to talk at 13 months and my parents were upset because they couldn't shut me up

34. I can touch my nose with my tongue

35. I have my tragus pierced (with a sparkly blue bar)

36. I'm good at problem solving

37. I struggle to listen positive things people say about me

38. I wish I'd tried to learn one of the many instruments my parents sent me to lessons for

39. I don't like people who lie

40. I struggle to hide it when I don't like someone

41. I don't trust my judgement

42. I buy perfume because I love the bottles (I have 37)

43. The only thing I've ever won was a kissing contest

44. I don't take myself seriously

45. I watched the complete collection of Dawson's Creek in week (I was sick)

46. I stayed up until 5am one of those nights

47. By the end Dawson was irritating me so much I skipped through every scene with him in

48. I love making friends

49. I hope to meet some of you fabulous people in person one day

50. A friend at work is learning French and got it in to her head I must be good at French (WTF?), every time she asks me something I Google it - I have a French translator on my Iphone now!!

50 will do - it was a struggle and this has taken me almost an hour!!!

I'm going to give you a guided tour around my house sometime soon! That's probably not as exciting as I think it is.

I agree, perfume bottles are purdy.

@ cJs - I had to Google "ear piercing" for a map of the ear as I couldnt remember what it was called. I Googled Joe Lawrence after writing this to see if he was still as hot as I thought he was (lol) when I met him...he's on Dancing with the Stars or something in the US!!! I thought he'd sloped off into a cave for ex-celebs!

@ Larissa - I <3 audience participation! My dad denied needing glasses until he was 52, I'm destined to follow in his genetic footsteps! I think I actually look ok in glasses, but don't particularly want the optician that close to my eye!

@ Jen - welcome fellow name-sharer! It's the bestest name going! x

Jen Randall said...

@ Larissa - I've only ever lived in the UK BTW

Larissa said...

well maybe someday i might have to get off my ass and come visit... :D

I had the biggest crush on Joe Lawrence when I was 13-14!

I loved Dawson's Creek but I HATED Dawson.

Anonymous said...

I love Dawson Creek and got it all on DVD!

Did having your tragus pierced hurt a lot cause I have been thinking of getting that done or the top of my ear done.

Anonymous said...

I had to google tragus and was extremely nervous about what the google images would provide. It was safe!
I <3 you!

Andhari said...

*hugshugs*

pj said...

I am looking forward to 100 things about you at post 100 and a giveaway at 101, your awesome. Love the pic by the way.

Jen Randall said...

@ SB & Leetid - every girls guilty pleasure was Dawson's Creek!!

Lol @ JPP - That's why I wrote it and not "ear" hehe.

@ IL - Sparkly could be my middle name...if I had one.

@ PJ - 100 things about me? It'd take me a week to think of things (I'd best start now).
