Cool thread!
1. I've lived in the same house for all of my 17 years of life.
2. As a baby, I screamed and cried and wailed. A lot. :p My brother, on the other hand, was a very quiet baby. What's weird is we seem to have reversed roles; I am now far more placid than him and he has one fiery temper!
3. I've wanted to become a veterinary surgeon ever since I was about 3 years old. Before that, I was intent on becoming a ballerina.
4. Good job though that I decided against the latter (above), because I think I've finally reached my peak in height at 6 foot exactly. :eek: I would have been one lanky ballerina, haha.
5. I have my own DNA in a vial. Seriously. I extracted it myself. :p Although now it's quite hard to see as its wound back up into coils again, but it's there. Why do I have it in a vial? Haha, I seriously don't know. But it's cool to have. :D
6. I am currently reading Darwin's Origin of Species.
7. I am the only girl in my year at school (well, in my school actually, for the moment anyway) to study further mathematics at A level.
8. I can't wink with my left eye. I had to train myself to wink the right, but there's no hope with the left. It's a peculiar trait I've inherited from my dad's side of the family. My mum and brother wink just fine.
9. I am a vain money guzzler! I calculated that last year I spent about £5500 on clothes, accesories, shoes, perfumes, make-up, my hair and jewellry. It's awful, I know, and my 2009 resolution is to cut down on that considerably.
10. I hate camping with a passion. I need my little luxuries otherwise I get incredibly groggy and snappy.
11. I have keratoconus in both eyes, but mainly in my left. It's manageable for me at the moment and I barely notice it, but it will gradually worsen throughout my life and I could get to the stage of needing a corneal transplant.
12. I am generally a pleasant person to people although I'm not much of a socialiser. I prefer to have a few, select friends whom I can truly trust than lots of people I can't.
13. The only body part I have ever broken is the little finger on my right hand, and it's still a bit crooked.
14. < My lucky number! :p
15. I love debating. It's something I've only really gotten into over the past few months. Once I get into argue-mode there's no going back! :D
16. I've had the same mobile phone for about 5 years. It's not that it's amazing or that I can't afford a new one, it's just I'm not particularly a gadget person and would rather spend the money on something else.
17. I cannot STAND people who eat noisily. It just irks me to the core.
18. I know I'm only young and things change as you age, but I can't see myself ever having kids. It's just not me.
19. I do not have a photographic memory whatsoever, which sometimes surprises people. I can only truly get things into my brain by writing them down over and over again. It's very tiresome, but for some reason I just can't really learn information any other way!
20. My middle name, Vivienne, is that of my aunt, who passed away from leukaemia before I was born. All the other girls born on my dad's side of the family also have Vivienne as their middle name.
21. I take my coffee black with one sugar.
22. I'm generally terrible at winter sports! I'm like Bambi when on ice and I can only go so far as turning parrallel in big, wide loops when skiing.
23. Riding is my passion, particularly dressage, and I've been riding for 13 years.
24. I don't cry; very, very rarely at least. Yeah, I get sad, but I'd be more likely to be incredibly quiet for a while rather than burst into tears.
25. I hate the idea of failure. I'm really competitive and once I get into something, I have to win! :p
26. The bodypart I hate most on myself is my teeth. Otherwise I am generally happy with how I look.
27. I could eat olives for the rest of my life, haha. I absolutely looooooove them!
28. I study Latin, and it rocks. :D Lately I've found it particularly helpful in my scientific subjects. If you know Latin, there'll rarely be a word that you encounter that you can't figure out the meaning by it's Latin roots.
Lol same, let me know if you ever come to England ;)Quote:

I'm really pretty bored so I think I'll tell you another 28 things about me.
1. I play this game more hours a day than I care to share.
2. I am just coming off of being sick but I still had to do my job anyway because the horses needed to be taken care of.
3. I've drawn three rainbow daleks in the last four days.
4. My mom just sent me a package from home with my favorite sweatshirt, my ipod speaker, two dvds of mine, my show gloves, and a surprise box of strawberry koala cookies.
5. Every time I watch any episode of Doctor Who after the second season I just miss Rose too much to really get into it.
6. Today I have decided that the dog I want in the future is a pit bull/ catahoula cross.
7. I really want a subscription to my DeviantArt so I can post polls and make my journal there pretty and display stamps.
8. One of the girls at the barn got to see Toby Keith this weekend and I'm really jealous.
9. I thought I would really like the cookie dough flavour of Poptarts but I don't really like them.
10. I admit to liking really tacky music.
11. Today one of the boarders brought his rottie along while he did chores.
12. I start reading a LOT of books but rarely ever finish them.
13. Recently I have started but not finished New Moon (for the third reading) Deathly Hallows (for the second reading) Lord of the Rings (only ever listened to the audiobook) a Buffy novel about Spike and Drusilla, and I am now reading Shakespeare's The Tempest. I picked it up at random because Tempest is one of my favorite songs.
14. My hair was half pink and half orange in November but I wanted a good job so I dyed it brown and I did such a good job finding a colour that you can barely see where my roots start and the dye ends.
15. I find it hard to listen to audiobooks unless the narrator is a British or Scottish man.
16. Humanities Through The Arts was my all time favourite class.
17. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, and my high school was on national television for hazing two years before I started there.
18. I am really bad at saving my money, although I'd like to save it for a nice horse eventually.
19. I have ridden in my new saddle twice, and fallen out of it twice.
20. When it comes to food, there is hardly anything I won't eat. One of the exceptions being ham when it's prepared a certain way.
21. I don't like to argue politics. My motto is you do your thing, I'll do mine. (And yes, those are lyrics from a country song)
22. I have four t-shirts that have a saying or logo for Firefly/Serenity on them, and one with the cast of Angel.
23. I didn't like music until I found the country music station. Now I love listening to new music. For years I would only listen to country and classical though.
24. Apparently I confuse a lot of people.
25. I change my mind a LOT.
26. Ever since I was little I wanted a pickup truck.
27. I am late almost everywhere I go, even if I allow myself extra time I always get sidetracked by something.
28. I tend to be obsessive over certain things. I watch or read or listen to something over and over and over until I become sick of it for a few months, then I usually pick it back up.
Suki-Wingy, I always used to think I wanted a pick-up, but now that I know what a pain it'd be to park one in the city I live in, I am happy with my CRV! :) I definitely think vehicle choice depends a lot on where and when you drive it!
I hadn't tried the cookie-dough Pop-tarts, now I'm glad I didn't bother! :)
LOL Thanks. I think. :)Quote:

Also remember that I like to "discuss" that stuff here because most of the people here do NOT agree with me and I like that. I seek out differing opinions, not only to possibly change some minds, but to possibly have mine changed too. Preaching to the choir is no fun and nobody learns anything new, eh?
:D
Rainbow Daleks? LOL!
And I'd really love to take a peek at that "book of wisdom" that you are writing for your daughter. Bet that's gonna be interesting!! LOL :eek:Quote:

Some people here disagree with this. But I believe, especially for young people, that who we associate with not only says a lot about who we are, but effects who we will be. Even if you are squeaky clean, when you associate with people who are not... It gets you dirty too.
#12 - "You can tell a great deal about a person from how they treat people who serve them."
How do you treat the people who serve you at McDonalds? A grocery store?
Etc.... It is a work in progress and will take me years to finish. Mainly because as I age, I am certain I will become more wise and will want to change some of the things for it. Values should never change, opinions can.

Thumbs up! I agree with those. :DQuote:

Yup! Mostly pink but with rainbow dots, or I guess the Dalekanium is rainbow.Quote:
