Forty Odd Things About Me

I'm not very sure why I decided to write this post.  It just suddenly popped into my head whilst watching T.V. then as the night went on it started to become an obsession and I kept thinking about it.  So this is why I'm writing "Forty Odd Things About Me".  It really just gives an insight into who I am and my likes and dislikes.

1. My star sign is Aries-which means I'm  very highly strung and sometimes hyper-sensitive.
2. I'm also a total perfectionist and beat myself up a lot for not meeting my own high standards.
3. My favourite colour is red, not orangey red but deep blood red.
4. I love Bram Stokers Dracula starring Gary Oldman (this perhaps explains my colour preference).
5. I'm also a huge Twilight fan and I support Team Edward.
6. I'm often asked if I dye my hair-no it's naturally dark,dark brown.
7. My little niece and I have very, very dark brown eyes (sometimes it's difficult to see the pupil  as their so dark).
8. My niece and I both have  sallow skin  (my mum says my niece is my double)
9. I love fruit salads (the fruit not the chewy sweets, although I do love the sweets too)
10. I love watching Darts and support  Raymond Van Barneveld (Barnie)
11. I also love watching boxing (I used to watch this with my Grandad when I was little, he was a boxer in his early years).
