10 day 'you' challenge - ONE

10 day you challenge

I've seen this floating around a lot of blogs lately and have never really created that many 'personal' posts so I thought I'd just do this 10 day challenge which might provide more of an insight. I got this from jayde who has such a beautiful blog - it's one of my favourites and i've followed her on tumblr for several years now. it's lovely to see how everything's going with her and her blog is definitely one to watch.

10 secrets
These aren't secrets but more 'facts' - I have no secrets in general nor do I wish to share any I may have!

1. i have to eat my food in a certain order. it's really weird but i've done it since i was little. i have to eat things in a specific order and can't mix them together. so if i have a roast dinner i eat my vegetables then yorkshires then meat in a particular order. it even stretches to things like a kfc burger - i eat the top bun, then the bottom and then the chicken. 

2. i hate warm weather. i hate it. it makes me cringe and i actually avoid going out if it's a really hot day. i much prefer the cold and am ten times happier in the winter when it's cold and snowy.

3. i'm a saver. i save everything: from receipts to old school books and cards. i also save money. it's good in terms of the future and having saved an amount of money but it means i physically feel a little ill at spending money. i worry about it for ages and have to justify any purchases or anything i've spent money on to the point where i can relax. 

4. i love reading and writing. i have done since i could read and write and there are constant streams of paper around my house with ideas and loads of attempted novels on memory sticks, emails and hard drives. 

5. i have no idea what i want to do. i've flicked through ideas from teaching, scriptwriting, filming, nursing, counselling and even careers advising (oh the irony!) and i'm still not entirely sure. i don't think i'll ever know what my 'true calling' is but i think as long as it's something i enjoy then i'll be happy.

6. i love drama & theatre shows. i used to go to drama clubs from the age of 4 and continued it up until the age of 16 when i stopped abruptly. i was planning on going to a drama school but then changed my mind and i haven't done it since. however, it's still a massive passion of mine and i try to see as many theatre performances as i can.

7. i break everything. i can be so, so clumsy at times. i walk into bollards and walls and have no general balance or spatial awareness. i'm also ridiculously bad at video games that involve any sort of movement. it's probably a good job i don't drive!

8. i go off on one when i get angry and rant and rave and people think it's funny. i express things with my arms and moan and can generally be a little sarcastic. i love a good moan and i think it's a good way to relieve stress/anger.

9. i have to have things on certain numbers. the volume of things always has to end in 0, 2, 5 or 8. it's my own rule. it has to be on a certain number.

10. i worry about absolute everything. i'm trying to change that though, a little bit of stress is good but not the amount i worry!
