11 things you probably don’t know about me

lana head shotOne of the reasons I love Facebook so much is stalking talking to people that I know from my past. Okay that’s not entirely true – I also like looking through the posts of people I don’t know (stalking) and looking at what people I do know are doing (also stalking).

You can imagine my delight when I was stalking looking through a page of a friend that I used to go to school with and was rewarded with an entire post of things I didn’t know about her. I loved it so much that I liked it.  What I hadn’t understood was that if I liked the post I had to return the favour – so thanks to Tali, here are 11 things you didn’t know about me.

1. I love all animals but not so much birds. Chickens maybe,  but not birds that fl,  I am actually scared of them. I blame the fact that they are yukky. I could blame Alfred Hitchcock because it’s much more mature but I have never seen the movie.

2. I get very upset if my husband falls asleep before me. In fact I can’t fall asleep unless he’s awake.

3. I think it’s very important to talk about mental health and not shy away from mental illness but I never speak about my own very big struggle with debilitating depression. I plan to change that when I know that talking about it openly wont upset the very delicate balance of my mental state.

4. I wasted used my entire twenties battling demons. I killed some, maimed others and the rest are hiding under the carpet trying to trip me when I am not looking.

5. I am a vegetarian but I hate chickpeas, lentils, tofu and all other foods that vegetarians are supposed to eat.

6. I am more in love with my husband now then I was when we got married.

8. I don’t know how to put on the TV at home. Once my husband and son went camping and they had no mobile reception. I had to phone my brother-in-law to find out how to switch it on.

9. I have given up smoking as many times as I have started it which is a very good thing. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t want a cigarette.

10. I am such a cheap drunk that I need to avoid wine gums.

11. I am the most sensitive, neurotic person you know – but you probably knew that already.

So join me – tell me 11 things about yourself that I probably don’t already know

  1. LOVE it! I am a vegetarian too and I hate carrots and pretty much all orange vegetables. Weird? yes, probably 🙂

  2. I’m such an over-sharer – so I don’t know if I can come up with 11…

    1. I have a slight stammer, especially when I’m tired…
    2. I don’t like anyone’s feet near my face…
    3. I sneeze when I walk outside into bright sunshine…
    4. I can’t look directly at anything pointy – knitting needles, pins, Madonna’s bra…

    That’s all I can think of off the top of my head… 🙂

  3. I feel incredibly proud that the only one I didn’t already know was 8.
    And I’m not laughing. Truly*.
    *that may be a lie

    1. I have two completely different earlobes. Luckily I have really small ears, so you can’t notice. (unless I point it out on someone’s blog…..)

    2. I also have two completely different coloured eyebrows. One is black, the other is white. So white you can’t even see it. I have to get it tinted all the time.

    3. I cannot use black pens. They feel wrong. All pens must be blue fine point. Or else.

    4. I can play the piano and the violin.

    5. When I was 11 years old, Fergie and Prince Andrew travelled to our little outback town and opened the RFDS museum. Fergie was wearing a hideous yellow floral dress and matching hat. I shook Andrew’s hand, and saw his cufflinks were gold letter A’s.

    6. My first trip to McDonalds was when I was 16. (I lived in the outback, remember?)

    7. I am painfully shy. If I ever meet any of you IRL and I appear rude and aloof, I assure you, I’m not. Just very shy.

    8. I’m a very negative person. I’ve had to work very hard to look on the bright side of life.

    9. I remember the day John Lennon died. I was only three. My dad came home from work and he looked distraught. He said “John Lennon died today”. I remember knowing who John Lennon was, even though I was only three. Clearly my parents were Beatles fans. To this day I remain a huge Beatles fan. I can put on a Beatles cd and time stands still.

    10. I wish I’d had more children. Every.single.day.

    11. I love rain and cold weather. Give me a winter over a summer anyday. 🙂

  5. Lana, I think you forgot to mention you are one of the bravest people I know!

    1. On occasion ,I love to sit watching movies all day long with or without my squirt
    2. I HATE the cold. In any form!
    3. I like hospitals
    4. I believe in ghosts, paranormal identities, collective energy, spiritual phenomena … And good feelings in and out!
    5. I used to play Polo (horses)
    6. I lived in the Sinai desert by myself for 3 months in 1978
    7. I also love and appreciate my husband more now than when we first married!
    8. I use to sing in a Jazz band
    9. I don’t like anyone touching me on my bum!
    10. I always spread loads of butter on my Bagel before the cream cheese!

  6. Lovely to get to know you more. I am always asleep before my husband too…x

  7. I turned mine into a blog post of my own because it sounded fun…enjoy!
