[Miss Z]

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. 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. I would have been one lanky ballerina, haha.

5. I have my own DNA in a vial. Seriously. I extracted it myself. 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.

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!

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!

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!

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. 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.

[Whisk_Luva]
