Things you may not know about me

When people blatantly hate (or love) things- films, music, books, tv etc etc- because everyone else does, it makes me want to hit them. It annoys me even more if they (a) have no good reason for their feelings or (b) haven't tried listening, watching or reading them, and just love/hate the idea of them.

I hate people who sit in the quiet carriage of a long-distance train and either have their (generally very boring and repetitive) music turned up very loud or have loud phone conversations using appalling grammar.

I love coincidences. For example, meeting someone on a university open day and discovering that you were at the same choir competition in wales 4 years ago, and distinctly remember being beaten by the choir with the unpronounceable name (known as the red dragons because of their uniform).

I'm so laid back about some things, I'm practically horizontal.

One of the things I look forward to most at university is getting a new room that I can decorate and personalise. Also, getting all the pots and pans for the kitchen, and not getting funny looks when I decide I want to make a cake late at night.

Every time I receive the Joe Browns catalogue, I see loads of stuff I like, but I never buy anything.

I am perfectly aware that my school bag is a ridiculous size, but I'm too lazy to buy a bigger one.

There are more computers in my house than people.

I've always had 2 groups of friends. Up until sixthform, one group was so so so much more important to me than the other. But then I found some new friends, and although things are going brilliantly with them and they're all awesome...I feel guilty that the group I used to be so close to is getting neglected.

Mainstream music-much as I love it-tends to bore me, which is why I listen to folk music most of the time. I find that there's more meaning to it-folk artists branch out from constantly singing about love. They sing about death, too!
