Oh! Oh! Pick me, pick me!!
Okay, so there have been a couple of dry spells on this blog, the longest of which only ended very, very recently. And with only 3 regular(ish?) readers, there may not even be a point.
But it would so totally rock my world, not to mention motivate me to post so much more, so much more frequently, if you would nominate me for an SA blog award in any category that you deem suitable.

50 (minus 14) Things...
1. I have secretly wished for absolute ages that someone would tag me with one of these 50 Things things. Now, I've just decided, Fuck it. I'm going to ramble random shit about myself for a bit, whether you want me to or not.
2. It says on my birth certificate that I was born in Evander. I have no clue where that is. Nor does pretty much anyone else I know, except my mom.
3. I have serious issues with authority and people who try to control or "manage" me.
4. Damn... This is harder than I thought.
5. I haven't used birth control for over a year. During this time, I've fallen pregnant once, and miscarried shortly thereafter. Still, I manage to convince myself every month that I might be pregnant. I have mixed feelings about it every time.
6. I secretly miss being grossly underweight.
7. I'm an Alfa Romeo fan, but I currently drive a Citroen C2.
8. My cat is named after a witch in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.
9. I suffer from chronic constipation.
10. I once punched a fat girl in the face just to impress the popular kids in school. I've always regretted it.
11. I wear too much black.
12. I smoke Camel Lights.
13. When I was about 5 years old, one of my cousins and I almost burned down the block of flats where I lived.
14. The only thing in my body that's ever been broken is my nose. It happened when I was 15, courtesy of my older brother's right fist. My mother made him pay the doctor's bill.
15. The first funeral I ever attended was my father's. I was 12.
16. When I lived in 'varsity res in first year, I started shaving my head. One day, as I was walking into the res building, a couple of guys waiting outside for their girlfriends made fun of me. I made my eyes tear up and walked up to them and said, "Tell you what, guys - you deal with a couple of chemo sessions and tell me how it feels." They felt really shitty, and I let them.
17. That was ten years ago, and I still haven't finished my degree.
18. I was the first in my generation, on both sides of the family, to have kids.
19. I used to be a natural blonde. Now I'm natural field mouse.
20. I've always been a sucker for the underdog.
21. My in-laws think I'm the antichrist. Or, at the very least, a distant cousin...
22. I cannot stand honey. The smell of it makes me want to vomit.
23. One of the funniest things I've ever heard is the reference to doing a number 2 as "Dropping the foster kids off at the pool".
24. After an argument, I'll replay it over and over in my head, and insert all the cool things I could've said at the time, but that only occurred to me after the fact. Sometimes I'll stand in front of the mirror and say my "lines" out loud.
25. Last week, I hung up the phone on my brother and my mother on the same day. It was the first time I'd done that to either, and I haven't spoken to either since.
26. I attended a total of 7 different schools.
27. I wash my hands too often.
28. That's how old I am.
29. I once sent some photos of myself to a modelling agency. They sent me back a rejection letter.
30. I'm 1,63m tall and weigh about 45kg (give or take a kilo or two from one month to the next).
31. Only a handful of people know what my real name is.
32. I can throw the most spectacular tantrums about relatively unimportant things, but I never stand up for myself when it really counts.
33. I worked as a Kirby salesperson in 2004, for about 3 weeks. During that time, I gave about 8 free carpet shampoos and sold one machine.
34. My current job is my 15th so far. I still haven't found the right one.
35. I ache to start my own business, but have no idea where to begin putting it all together. Also, we can't do without my current income.
36. I haven't been on holiday in 10 years.
Ok, that's all I've got. More later.
