Ok, so following on from louiseoh18 's random things post of yesterday, I'm doing one of the random things about me too. Which, I dunno, seems a little conceited, maybe, but if I can't talk about myself here on my journal, than there's probably nowhere I'd feel comfortable about talking about myself. (And isn't that the God's honest truth.)

Ok, so here we go:

I have a rather extensive vocabulary, but I hate using it, cos it makes people uncomfortable.
Usually, the things I adore the most are things that I shied away from for quite a while. Jury's still out over whether I'm right about doing that or not.
I never gush about classics. I usually ramble about the underappreciated stuff.
I have an almost psychic link with JA, and the Shorty finishes my sentences. I reckon I must be predictable. :-)
Crisis management is my strong point.
I love my family more than anything, but that encompasses a lot more people than just blood relatives.
I hate stupid humour. With a passion.
I love learning things. I hate being tested.
I'm on a mission to change up my life. I think this may be because everything's changing around me so much lately.
I started reading when I was 3 or so, and haven't stopped since.
My drink of choice is flavoured water. I don't drink alcohol.
I can't watch Mars Attacks, it's given me nightmares since the first time I watched it. (I was 8, it was Halloween, and their heads exploded, ok?)
I'm open minded, but it's not something I used to be. I moved from changing people's ideas on things to observing why they thought them. I have my own opinions, but I don't like to tell people them unless they ask anymore.
I'm an awful procrastinator. I mean, really awful.
I am terrified of moving to Wales next year. Absolutely thrillingly excited, but freaking terrified.
I've been swearing since I was 7, and people still think it's out of character for me.
I'm a ridiculous Disney addict. Noone has beaten me at Disney Trivial Pursuit yet.
I generally crush on people, not looks. A smile, a quirk, a gesture... I'm odd that way.
When I get in the mood to clean, I can sweep through the entire house in a few hours. When I'm not in the mood, nothing gets done.
I think that there’s something in the air in Ireland that makes people insane. Someday, I’m going to prove it.
I have a ridiculously short attention span. Seriously, I’ve been doing 3 other things in between writing this out.
It takes a lot to get me to hold a grudge, but after I do, you’ve lost my trust.
I close every door of the room I’m in unless I’m alone in the building. Paranoia much?
I’m completely in awe of vegans, because it’s a principle that I believe in that I would never be able to do myself. I hate most vegetables and adore most types of meat.

...Was this 20 or 25? I may have to go back and take some out. But there you go, that’s me, in all my neurotic, messed up glory. Bye now!

yay you did it!!

and once again it's all eloquence and smarts. honey how are you so level headed and wise with these things.

i think i knew most of them in that they're more who you are than what you like. if that makes sense? idk.

and yeah the wales thing tucked up in there; don't think we won't talk about that. and also the things you're most afraid of are usually the ones most worth doing...

Yeah, they seem to have turned out like that. :) I don't even know, hon! But it's not eloquence, anyway!

It's a lot more personal than I usually get, though, isn't it?? (And the Wales thing is not a big deal. Really. I'd be stupid not to be scared, it's gonna be fairly different, right?)

Except what happens when I shy away from shallow-ish stuff like drinking or make up? Is that right or bad?
