25 Things About You

1QuirkyKiwi · 02-09-2012, 04:35 PM

1. I’m a twin.
2. I was raised by my Maori Grandmother and French Italian Grandfather (maternal Grandparents).
3. I’m left handed, but use scissors right handed (there weren’t any left handed scissors when I was growing up, lol).
4. I see a world full of beauty, even if it appears ugly to others. I’m flawed and talented; face my fears (eventually) and I’m ever evolving as a person. I understand the journey through life has its ups and downs and I love deeply, laugh often and take delight in simplicity.
5. I can be a force of nature; sometimes powerful, determined and unstoppable; at other times I’m soft, gentle, sensitive and quiet.
6. I’m annoyingly cheerful and irritatingly optimistic.
7. I have a lot of self-determination and when I focus my attentions on doing something, I will see it through to the end.
8. I wear my heart on my sleeve; my face will show how I’m feeling….I’ve never been able to hide my feelings.
9. I’m not jealous by nature and go by the motto; live and let live.
10. I’m very blunt without meaning to be hurtful; I just say how I feel.
11. I’m multi-lingual and have dual-nationality; I consider myself a New Zealander.
12. I’m fairly self-sufficient and resourceful, especially DIY; making my own clothes and beauty products.
13. I’m loyal, loving and supportive to a fault.
14. I’ve been tested for Meningitis twice in my life (ages 7 and 22).
15. I shower twice a day.
16. My hair takes 30 minutes to wash and condition because it’s so long (wash it twice a week).
17. I have a mischievous, playful streak and enjoy intelligent conversations and witty repartee.
18. I’m very intuitive and also a contradiction.
19. I have over 500 CDs and nearly 4,000 downloaded songs; I prefer music to watching TV.
20. I respect and appreciate others perspectives, even if I don’t agree with them; I will defend your right to say them. I accept people for who they are.
21. When I was pregnant with my late daughter; I believed I had indigestion only I was in labour.
22. I’m painfully polite (apparently).
23. I prefer going barefoot whenever possible.
24. Animals and Children know I’m a softie.
25. I have excellent hearing; I don’t give a flying Fruit Bats bum what you say about me, just don’t deny you’ve said, because I heard you!

Phew! I'm thankful it wasn't 50 things! LOL!

Off to read what everyone else has put now....
