Alrighty. I know I haven't blogged in ETERNITY, so, after A LOT of nagging from Val to update -points to tagboard-, I've decided to give you guys a post that contains more than 1 sentence in it. So here are several not-so-known facts about me (yes, I'm a narcissist).

- I started crawling BACKWARDS as an infant, which led to my first-time parents calling up their doctor friends in a state of complete panic.

- I LOATHE skinny (and I do mean skinny) people who call themselves fat. Eat already! We can see your bones!

- If given a choice, I choose taking capsules over tablets any day. I'm spoilt that way.

- I picked up gardening because I feel less guilt killing a plant as compared to killing an animal (by accident! I don't do it on purpose!)

- I am capable of actual thought. Just 'cuz I act stupid when you're around, doesn't mean I really am. I just act that way so you won't feel too bad about yourself.

- I never get drunk. No matter how much I drink. Unless I accidentally down a can of beer after taking a sleeping pill (yes, this HAS happened).

- My favourite flowers aren't roses. They're lavenders. My second favourites are daisies.

- I fell in love with lithops 'cuz they look like the human brain, and solely based on that, I think they're the coolest plants in the world.

- I don't like carbonated drinks. I'd much rather have water, tea or juices anytime. Yes, in order of preference.

- Don't bother telling me I'm ugly, fat, yada yada. If your opinion meant anything to me, I'd ask for it. Better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

- My room has officially been converted into a mini indoor garden, so I sleep surrounded by plants. No, the excessive amounts of carbon dioxide at night has not removed my ability to use my brain.

- I love my parents and my brother more than anything in the world.

- I would love to have kids some day. 3 would be nice. So 2 can gang up on 1.

- I love walking past bakeries in the morning. The smell of freshly baked goods perks me up better than any amount of caffeine.

- Redbull gets me hyper, and I have a tendancy to start bouncing off walls after about half a can. Ok, so maybe you already knew that. But hey, just throwing it in for the heck of it.

- The most romantic place to be, in my opinion, is the beach. At night. There's something about the cool night breeze, and gentle lapping of waves that make everything more intimate.

- I'd love to kiss in the rain. Someday.

- I can eat a lemon by itself without batting an eyelid. Some may see that as a sign that I'm exceptionally prone to err... Eating vinegar... I'll leave that to you to figure out =P

- I cry during movies. Aww, c'mon. Don't judge me. You probably do too!

- Mess with me if you must. But mess with my friends and there'll be hell to pay.

- I think that intelligence and good English is SEXY.

And finally, this last one y'all probably already knew, but for the sake of those who don't...

- I work best when inspired by certain emotions... Like last-minute panic.
