If anyone has been using Facebook you'll probably have seen '25/30 random things' lists going around, where you have to write 25 or 30 random things about yourself and then tag 25 or 30 people to do the same thing. This is just for a bit of fun. You must post at least 25 random facts about yourself, they can include facts, habits or goals Here is my facebook one as an example I will try to think up 25 new things to post later! 1. I am a cat lady for 2 hours a day. 2. This does not coincide with when I am with my cats 3. I have a fab metabolism 4. I will be a magnificent project manager one day, when I finish uni 5. I haven't yet finished a 'course of study' since 6th form (18 yrs old) Yes that's right, I'm a winner. 6. At this rate I will have my masters when I'm 47 7. I'm always cold 8. I hiccup like a frog being strangled 9. I have planned my retirement even though I have no career yet 10. I was once baptized a Mormon and left the church about 2 weeks later 11. I was 7 or 8 when I became a Mormon, because I sooo knew what I was doing 12. I would make a really good doctor 13. I have 9 sisters and 1 brother 14. But I only grew up with our Nat 15. My sister and I are both going into construction and have no prior background in it whatsoever 16. I only want 2 kids so I can spoil them, and maybe a 3rd when I'm dead old so I can spoil it even more 17. I'm an Anglophile who likes the Royal Family 18. I'm destined to be rich 19. Even with all the rubbish I chat I am running out of points! 20. I'm nerdy except when it comes to important things like uni 21. Even though I'm not a 'baptised' Catholic, I have an unhealthy fear of Satan 22. My dad and his family are all Muslims, by varying degrees ranging from occasional drinkers to beardy faced weirdos, to soft-in-the-head animal lovers who marry atheist ex-Catholics as a form of self torture (that one was my daddy) 23. I wouldn't touch drugs, except maybe a space cake 24. I love hearing bout other peoples experiences though! 25. I need to become a far more interesting person

Excuse my colloquialisms there like 'dead old' which means very old. What can I say, we English don't speak English very well hahaha Oh and 23 is only strictly true in that I mean illegal drugs. Cos otherwise, Tramadol is my bestest friend right now! Oh and 21, the same thing goes for Santa. Yep.

1. My tool collection started at age 5 and I'm my own handyman around the house. 2. I was a high school math teacher for 6.5 years but quit to work in the construction industry. 3. It's really hard to get into the construction industry if you only have a math degree! 4.

I'm terrified I'll lose my job as they've already laid off 25%... 8. Even more terrified I'll be without health insurance. 9. I live with my two cats. 10. They hate each other but love me 11. I still have some fixing up to do on the fixer-upper condo I bought over 5 years ago... 12. I haven't had a relationship longer than 6 months in 10+ years. 13. I have a whole slew of bad dating stories to show for it! 14. I have some racy dating stories, though, too! 15. I started seeing a therapist this week to cope with everything. 16. She shares her office with her basset hound. 17. It's hard for me to ask for help. 18. My dad is my best friend. 19. My mom lives thousands of miles away and that's not far enough 20. She has no idea what's going on with my health 21. I couldn't live without Crystal Light 22. How I Met Your Mother is the best tv show in the world! 23. I am a fan of The Frames traveled to Boston to see them on tour 24. I hate being on pain meds, mostly because of the horrible constipation! 25. I could eat scallops morning, noon, and night. 26.

25 Random Things 1. I work as a creative writer/copywriter for a graphic design agency, however i am planning (hopefully) on building a boutique store with my sister, and one day i want to write a novel. 2. Even though its sad i love hearing my little puppy crying at the door when i leave for work cos it means i'll be missed. I will also never get over how boundless his energy is! 3. I have a snack draw at work which currently contains redskins, jaffas, gluten free biscuits, dried chickpeas, tomato soup, corn crackers and a tub of two fruits, chilli peanuts and gluten free muesli bars. I snack alot!! 4. I hate tinned pear!! Pears should only be eaten crunchy not mushy! 5. After so many years it still makes me sad that there was only one season of Freaks and Geeks made, i think it was such a funny and intelligent show. 6. My kitteh cat Elliot is the best kitteh in the world and no he's not fat he's just big boned! I am a little worried that he hates me since we got the puppy, as we dont get as much cuddle time anymore. 7. i LOVE lolcats!! i could quite happily spend hours and hours looking at them (and sometimes i do!) 8. Give me a camera and i will take a photo of myself! haha 9. I'm thinking about going back to uni...or even tafe...i miss learning! 10. I njhever used to be able to do 'number 2' in public toilets, or any toilet other than my own. I no longer have the luxury of choice about the matter! 11. I have been with my partner for almost three years and he still makes me smile every day I'm going to marry this man one day! 12. I often can be seen with pretty bruises on my legs and upper arms from pole dancing. Its bloody hard work! 13. I hate upside down Vs- a pole move i just cannot master! 14. I am a curry fiend, nothing beats dalh and naan. 15. I believe cupcakes are the best cakes. 16. I can't wait til my big sis starts planning her wedding so i can help her out with all the pretty shiny fun things! 17. I hate washing dishes because i think putting dirty dishes in water and swirling it all around is gross and i don't wanna put my hands in it! 18. I love hanging out with my girlies and having girly conversations 19. I bought my very first car (that i've owned) last year, a wittle Getz! 20. I love music, and singing along in the car even when i'm stopped at traffic lights and people are watching. 21. i LOVE SLEEPING and i always have full on crazy dreams, most of which i remember 22. I love writing, but often don't feel inspired, so i don't do it as much as i should 23. I think bf is a wicked cool geetar player and i love it when he plays for me 24. Favourite TV shows are Veronica Mars, Dead Like Me, Family Guy, American Dad, Grey's Anatomy... 25. I don't drink coffee, it tastes like arse, and i don't drink tea, it tastes like weak dish water. Hot chocolate all the way baby!

Things I have in common with you guys! Cass: 3, 10, 14, 15, 21 italialynn: I loved Italy, loved New York, Ireland looks beautiful, I love that you live on a farm with lots of animals, I bought some peacock feathers from ebay for no reason and I developed an obsession with Robert Pattinson after he appeared in my dream. jjuls: 3 yes definitely,8 - I have 2 kitties but it stops there!, I had a number 9 phase and was kinda right, 17 yeah well they had it right calling it the socio-economic disease, 18 kinda but I'll let my boss assume that I have PCOS like her sister cos she does not understand the physiology of endo, 22 cos it's always frigging raining here, and 25 I will go live in Cass's attic, come visit on your trip to Aus! Yes I never liked santa as a kid and due to my religious leanings at Christmas I feel he represents the commercial 'not so genuine' side of Christmas Minnie: 3 I grew up in the north in a ghetto-side hahaha, 4 yes but I haven't ridden since I was about 10, 8 yep yep yep, 24 I agree especially having lived with it first hand, 25 me too Olsenka: I'm also working my way into construction and bloody good on you for getting this far, 7 - I empathise, my sis is waiting to hear if she's been made redundant, 9 & 10 - we're getting there with the love/hate thing 17 is a killer, 18 - I sometimes think he could be but he's a bit ridiculous, 19 - the moon wouldn't be far enough either, 20 I think this is true but my older sister is a blabbermouth even when sworn to secrecy, 24 I hate not being able to eat/keep food down/digest it Rach: 2. I love coming home to enthusiastic kitty applause, 4 - thank god someone else thinks so! 6 - my Lou-bear is on a diet and we lose cuddle time due to me feeling a bit crappy and also the other cat Lily deciding she now likes cuddling too, 7 - this website wins! 9 - yeah but I'm terrible when I get there, 10 - have also had to swallow my anti-public pooping pride and found that the 'ski position' does not work for twosies and holidays with the bf involve sneaky poops whilst 'in the shower' or making him leave the hotel room ;D 14 - yummyyyyy, 17 - I love rubber gloves and rinsing things ridiculously before I wash them, 18 - I do a lot of girly talk in work much to the chagrin of the boys who like to talk about 2 girls and 1 cup, drinking and sport, 20 - this is a big problem for my boyfriend seeing as I don't drive and love to embarrass him in his car, 21 I love my sleepses, 25 - I love tea but only me and my sis can do it right! I love these lists I am SO connecting with you guys right now!

1. I'm an a miserable person in the morning before I have coffee. If I don't have the time to drink it and have to go the day with no morning coffee, be warned. 2. My fiance's snoring could wake the dead. I hit him in the rids at night and he wonders why he's sore in the morning. 3. My I'm incredibly sick to my tummy right now from my pill that Pizza Hut actually sounds good. 4. I LOVE a good oxymoron. 5. I'm so afraid that we're going to fall into a Depression that I've started to hide cash under my mattress. 6. My cats are the ultimate entertainment. Lucky is trying to shove himself on a box that is about 6x6. His head barely fits. 7. I laughed at a guy who fell off his bike today on the side of the road. 8. I'm a stickler for good grammar but barely use it myself. 9. Normally... i hate Vday, but this year decided I'd change my tune. I got a freakin Wii and now LOVE vday. I also love my future husband that much more. 10. He thinks he's going to get lucky for buying me a Wii. I think he better get to know his right hand a little bit better 11. Around the winter time, I love to tell people I'm from Florida and make sure I rub it in. 12. I quit my job last May and went back to the comapny on Oct with my tail between my legs. 13. I have an unhealthy fear of the day the world ends. 12/21/2012 scares the living sh*t out of me. 14. I cuss like a sailor 15. I'm also abnormally loud. 16. I don't know what else to write. 17. My vagina can apparently rent a car... and yet I still cannot 18. My cat Rocco weighs 16lbs. Ironically that is the amount of weight I'd like to lose. 19. I love being Italian and telling people my family is connected. The looks on their faces are beyond priceless. It's a mixture of "holy crap" and "NO WAY" 20. I didn't realize that the singer Flo Rida was from FLORIDA until today when I said out load to my FI, "Babe, is Flo Rida from Florida? Cuz Flo Rida spells F.L.O.R.I.D.A" He just looked at me and went back to putting my Wii together 21. I love Abercrombie and Fitch. If I had a million dollars I'd have a boob reduction just so I could fit into their shirts better. 22. I type over 70WPM 23. I have NO idea where I picked that talent up from. 24. Probably from the hours I spent on AOL when I was a kid. 25. I turn 25 this year. I don't want to. WHy? Because I'll officially be 5 years away from 30 and that SUCKS.
