Er, so, I'm doing 16 random facts O_o.


1. I stopped talking in German -mainly because I wasn't forced to and now know 2 people that speak it (one a uni friend and the other my cousin's girlfriend who I've met once)- and now my postcard German is cringeful. I know this because just today I was writing 2 postcards and one (very belated) Xmas card to Germany, complete with geile Sau and all.

2. I eat a whole lot. I eat when I'm bored, when I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I'm hungry...and especially when I'm reading. For me, it's just unsaid that a good book = nibbling at some kind of food until, at the end of the book, I lookup all affected by emotions and notice the miles of food wrappers and bowls before me (or more likely scattered around the house... I tend to walk around when I'm reading sometimes).

3. I hate it when a (computer) window is neither minimised or maximised but somewhere in between yet very close to being maximised. If I'm looking at someone else's computer and it is almost maximised but not quite, an insane urge to grab the mouse and click to maximise it grabs me. Sigh. Apolgies if I ever do this to you. *nods*

4. I frequently try to delete things IRL -in real life. Then I wonder why it doesn't work, or better yet, where the delete key has gone. I haven't yet had the experience of trying to ctrl+s anything yet though. I do get weirdly panicky about things crashing and me losing work, even if I'm handwriting. I suspect I spend a little too long on the computer.

5. Tofu. Some people think it's tasteless but I swear to the ghostly entity that was watching me in my house two days ago (no, really, true story), I could just grab a pack of tofu and devour it whole, without cooking it but after removing, and carefully placing in the recycling box, the packaging. Considering we have 3 packs of tofu in our fridge, I'm uncertain if this is a good thing. Note - yes, you can eat tofu without cooking it. Mmmm. *Would drool but doesn't want to get laptop messy*

6. If you're a guy or squeamish, look away now. Periods. They are incredibly annoying. Even if you know when they're going to descend upon you with the swiftness of something really, really swift, they still suck. Who hasn't had the experience of going 'oh shit, this was unexpected' or had to stand the lack of energy brought about by this relentless beast? Not to mention that scary, scary word, clots. *Shudder* Plus, I definitely eat a lot more just before my period. More junk, to be specific. Junk food is delicious but bad. Sigh. Anyway, yes - periods = annoying. >_< This is an uncalled-for amount of gross but uh, my sister was saying to me the other day how she was 'on' (had her period) and really needed the toilet. She started describing to me the horrible feeling that ensued. Not a conversation worth repeating here, seriously, but if you know the feeling... ew. Just ew is all there is to be said.

7. Stress affects me in a weird way. I've noticed that if something is annoying (or hurting) me, I will slowly get more and more irritated whilst all the while wondering why. I'll suffer in silence but then possibly have an outburst. My braces, though they didn't come accompanied by severe pain, were very irritating and did hurt a little. That constant ache used to make me get really, really annoyed without realising why. >_< Not a good thing.

8. I use Facebook to stalk people, only I never end up stalking people I know well. For example, on my aunt's profile, I found a link to my cousin's mum (yes, technically aunt but long story) and went to add her... then I noticed one of our mutual friends was some random guy I haven't spoken to in a v long time and just sat there wondering how they knew each other. *nods* So, naturally, I went to see his profile and stalk him a little but I just got disturbed and gave up.

9. I seem to attract weird situations and weird people. As simplistic as I try to keep my life, it complicates itself. O_o Really. I don't even understand it anymore XD. Most of this is just rambling.

10. I have extreme paranoia which always manifests itelf in weird ways. As bizarre as this sounds, I'm completely conscious of the fact that my paranoia exists and so dismiss a lot of things as just that - paranoia. O_o

11. I'm still not quite sure what I'm doing at university. Not because I don't like French or languages, or uni itself but just... I still haven't found that thing that I'm really, really passionate about. Or if I have, I'm hiding it from even myself because I know how ridiculous it is. O_o

12. I've been ill to a greater extent and more often in 2008 than, I'm pretty sure, in any other year. Who knows why? Maybe my immune system has just died O_o...er, or is fatigued? O_o

13. There is something odd going on with the Royal Mail. Considering my friend Tanya doesn't have DA, only Deae will possibly understand this. Don't worry, it's just madness XD.

14. I love caramelised onions because my friend Alé, on deviantart, makes some freaking amazing caramelised onions...they go well with tortillas (not burnt ones which one can use as a discus XD).

15. There are so, so, so many things I would love to do and I think the only thing stopping me is lack of money. That and feeling completely out-of-sync with this world because seriously, there's no-one (my age and older, I guess, to clarify) I know who knows/cares less about these 'systems' than I do. Sigh.

16. I'm actually a little worried about how bad my memory is and yet I'm not doing anything to help it along, if only because I don't know what to do O_o. Er, where was I going with this again?
