50 Random Facts...

This is a tag which I have watched multiple versions of on YouTube, and read on several blogs. I love how random facts allow you to get to know a person just that little bit better, and so that's why I'm sharing my facts here.  The 'My Life' section will be getting filled up with any adventures or tag posts I think you may enjoy reading, and what better way to start than with 50 completely random facts? If you're still with me (and I hope that you are), I want you to leave some random facts about yourself in the comments below- what are the top five random things about yourself that come to mind? I want to get to know anyone reading my new blog that little bit better, and also let you guys know a little more about me and my life...

  1. I eat porridge pretty much every morning.
  2. I hate creamy sauces, and so can't stand carbonara- but I am a spicy food fanatic.
  3. I was the only person in my A-Level food tech class.
  4. I have awful circulation; I actually have a disorder called Raynaud's Disease.
  5. Blue is my favourite colour; anything sky blue or paler.
  6. I think that brownies may just be my favourite dessert. But only if they're served warm.
  7. I have a pet dog, named Sapphie.
  8. 'Easy A' is my favourite film. Or 'White Chicks'.
  9. Ugly Betty is my favourite box set (although I still haven't watched them all).
  10. If I could meet any actress it would be Jennifer Lawrence.
  11. Even though I am a student I rarely drink, but...
  12. When I do, I love cocktail bars. I love them even when I'm ordering mocktails. My favourite is either The Alchemist, or Jalou.
  13. I also love watches where you can see the mechanisms inside, especially guys versions of these, as the women's are always too sparkly.
  14. I am a huge morning person.
  15. My spirit animal would be an otter.
  16. One of my pet peeves in badly behaved children...
  17. ...and another is noisy eaters.
  18. I love The Great Gatsby, and anything else by Fitzgerald.
  19. If you have a candle/drink/perfume/food/shower gel/perfume I will ask to smell it.
  20. I spend way too much time on You Tube.
  21. When my friend and I finished sixth form we went to Amsterdam, where I got shouted at by prostitutes in the red light district. I had no idea at the time that they didn't like you taking pictures of the window displays.
  22. I hate having long nails; mine are always filed short with square tips.
  23. I can't do any car journey, no matter how short, without my ipod.
  24. My favourite restaurant is on top of the moors near where I live; it's delicious pub grub with a twist, and you can see for miles.

  26. Paperchase is one of my favourite shops.
  27. I took up kickboxing for a short period of time.
  28. I am 5'4 and always have to turn up my jeans.
  29. 90% of the time I wear the same old brown Chelsea boots; I have re-purchased the same pair multiple times because I love them so much. This also indicates I need to stop shopping at Shoe Zone.
  30. I have one younger, 17 year old brother, who is 1ft taller than me, and can easily pick me up.
  31. My middle name is Rachel.
  32. I am short sighted, but hate wearing my glasses. This means I depend day to day on contact lenses- and that I didn't leave anything on the floor to fall over when I get out of bed in the morning...
  33. As if in compensation for my eyesight, I have bat-like hearing. 
  34. I study English Literature and Creative Writing at Newcastle University.

  39. I would love to visit NYC, or LA...
  40. and also Japan.
  41. My favourite coffee is a skinny decaf cappuccino- no chocolate on top, but cinnamon instead. Yes, I do feel sorry for anyone who has to take that order first thing in the morning.
  42. I have two very obvious scars: one on my right foot where a door was opened over my foot and ripped the skin off, and another just under my chin from where I passed out and hit everything going on the way to the floor.
  43. I am Yorkshire born and bred.

  45. I am building a nut butter collection.
  46. My poached eggs have to be runny. Solid yolks just don't cut it.
