Soooooo.........er.........
1. I am and have always been a tomboy. My childhood was spent falling off of rollerskates and bikes and out of trees. My Mum was so delighted to get a girlie-girl in the form of my Precious Wee Chookie! Finally she could indulge in the buying of pink and frillies!!
2. I almost joined the Royal Navy as a helicopter pilot when I was 19 after passing the entry exams at 18. A sudden dose of cold feet (thankfully) put paid to that whole fiasco. Really - can anyone see me in the military?
3. I don't have a sweettooth - a peculiarity I've passed on to the Chook. I mean, we'll both eat sweeties and cakes but offer me crisps or chocolate? The crisps will win EVERY time.
4. I'm a bit of a coward over some supernatural things. I know, I know. I love vampires and will happily watch a monster movie but anything with ghosts in it? Nightmares for weeks!
5. When my Spouse and I first met? It was loathing at first sight. We obviously changed our minds over subsequent meetings! Or did we? Heh.
6. I'm a Spiritual Atheist. I actually had a bit of a revelation today over this. It's a term I coined to define my beliefs (to myself, I rarely discuss them with anyone) but while looking online for a description of what I think to put up here (purely laziness on my part, you understand) I discovered this website. Called the same and pretty much defining my thoughts. It's nice to know I'm not alone (I've been an Atheist since I was 16 but it has such baldly negative connotations with the idea that it means lack of belief in anything - which is not its true meaning) while still being individualistic.
7. I love bats. And weirdly, I don't think it's related to the vampire thing! They're just so cute and fascinating - their sonar is remarkable and I keep hoping we'll get them in our loft. We do see them flying about some evenings!
So, my noms. Right. I'm cheating and only entering 3 - lots of my favourites have already been nominated!
1. Mrs Wookie's Wanderings - a longtime scrapbooking friend who has the coolest outlook on life and the best blog posts.
2. DeeRoo Designs - a new friend from quiltland! Who also has a very cool life view (and cool kids!!)
3. Texas Freckles - I'm new to her blog but it's full of pretty stuff!
I'll edit if I think of another 2, promise!!
Congratulations Lynz:) It's fun to learn a few more things about you. I just hate scary movie's full stop! I can not stand the suspense.
ReplyDeleteLOL Lynz, thanks for sharing, congrats on the award too! And Yes, I could definitely see you in the RN, your sense of fun would just be dynamite! How do you think the military personnel cope other wise! (trust me I know! LOL)
ReplyDeleteHa, I married an ex-squaddie so I'm familiar with the mentality!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Lynz, I thought we were polar opposites until I got to #6 (although I consider myself agnostic). No chocolate?!?! The horror!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and interesting tidbits about you!
ReplyDeleteI can actually see you as a helicopter pilot, quite easily. You would have been quite the thing in a uniform, the men would have flipped. Not that they don't know, though! lol
Yep, you and I have a lot in common, except I want to eat chocolate covered potato chips.
