This appeared in FB recently, but since it took me ages to finish writing it, I thought I shouldn't just let it rot in FB. So I'm letting it rot in here as well. ;P And I have made a few minor changes.
25 things you don't need to know about me...
1. I appear quiet when with strangers but once you get to know me, I can be very chatty.
2. I set my clocks and watches 10 min faster because I like to be early or at least on time. I feel stressed if I am late. I feel superior when I am early, muahaha.
3. I love to sing - but dislike karaoke because English songs tend to feature ladies in bikinis strolling down the beach.
4. I love Pride and Prejudice, the novel and the series. Not the one starring Keira Knightley but the BBC version with Colin Firth as Darcy. I like the wet t-shirt part. ;P
5. My favourite authors are all dead.
6. I'm not a fan of chicklits. I feel like I lose a few IQ points after reading a few pages. Not like I have much to begin with already.
7. I don't watch TV these days, though I used to be a couch potato.
8. I used to watch and love a few obscure TV shows: WonderFalls, Tru Calling etc. I wish they had lasted more than a season or two.
9. I can't stand cigarette smoke.
10. I dreamt of living in a little cottage with a lovely garden and a brooke running nearby. (Yes, very English. I think I was influenced by Enid Blyton and Anne of Green Gables.)
11. I love windy days. Especially when I am standing by the beach.
12. I like it when the leaves fall off trees during a windy day and it feels like autumn.
13. I used to have a dog named Wendy, which is hardly a name for a dog, but the previous owner named her that, so... (Later in life I met another dog named Wend-di but that is another story.)
14. I am allergic to paracetamol. I'll sneeze and cough non-stop with my eyes getting all watery.
15. I sneeze when I am exposed to a sudden change in temperature.
16. I sneeze when I pluck my eyebrows. (Go figure.)
17. I don't like bossy people.
18. I am obsessive about brushing my teeth after meals.
19. I used to wear braces.
20. I can read upside down words or their mirror images easily.
21. I used to be a huge fan of computer role-playing games, like Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate and Star Wars:KOTOR.
22. I am semi-addicted to Gmail and Facebook.
23. I have several nicknames, some of them unprintable.
24. I like bittersweet chocolates.
25. I love God.
