About

...I judge people on the brand and flavour of gum they chew. All the time.
...I invent words or sayings and use them regularly in everyday conversation, until everybody I know adds them to their vocabularies obliviously.
...I don't believe in horoscopes, yet I panic if I don't read mine daily.
...I don't know my left from my right.
...I love the smell of gigs. After a show, I won't shower until the following morning, so I can smell the sweat of thousands of men on my skin as I sleep. You don't need to tell me I am a tramp. I already know.
...I will paint my toenails, even if I know nobody will see them.
...I watch movies in their entirety. That includes the adverts, the trailers and I will not leave my seat until the credits have rolled, even if I am the only person left in the cinema.
...I despise paying money for public transport, and therefore walk everywhere. Even if it's late, dark, cold or an hour and a half away. It drives my mother insane.
...I always want what I can never have.
...I hate small talk and pleasantries and go to extreme lengths to avoid them.
...I have an awful camera face. Have you ever seen that Friends where Chandler goes and get a professional photo? That's me in a teacup. Only, more pouty.
...None of my shoes fit. Instead of chucking them out and buying a sensible pair, I suffer through the pain -beauty has a price.
...I don't drive. I am not learning to drive. I am never going to drive. I will, repeat WILL kill somebody.
...I have been known to eat entire family sized Galaxy chocolate bars on a regular basis.
...I say thankyou to the cash machine (much to the amusement of the queue behind me)
...I press the button to cross the road, regardless of whether I am crossing or not.
...I laugh when nobody else is laughing, or even talking for that matter. The fact I am laughing like a madwoman only adds to the hilariousness of the situation. I could be there for hours.
...I cannot apply liquid eyeliner -I am ashamed to call myself a girl.
...My Leeds Fest band has not left my wrist since the Twenty Fourth of August, I am not in it for the beer, I am in it for the memories.
...I slip obscure quotes into everyday conversations in the hope somebody will recognise them and we will become life long friends.
...I should wear glasses, but I am too vain to wear them. I prefer my airbrushed view on life thankyouverymuch. The fact I am also encumbered with braces too, is just plain cruel.
...I sit and watch time pass. It worries me. Yet I still do nothing.
...I can't spell beautiful without saying Big Elephants Aren't Ugly Tigers In Foil Understand Leaves in my head. I am seventeen.
...I touch my face constantly. Not a problem if you don't use paint on a daily basis. I do.
...I am secretly happy when a movie doesn't end happily-ever-after. I love tragically beautiful things.
...Sometimes if I know my friend had eaten something cheesy or garlicky, I will wait a whole ten minutes, watching them get more and more self concious before I offer them a stick of gum. Heartless? Maybe. Hilarious? Definitely.
...I have extremely large, illegible handwriting, and insist on using thick black markers -just be awkward.
...I never look before I cross the road.
...I despise bad spelling and grammar, yet I am the worst typer I know.
...I keep flowers around for weeks after they have died, I love to watch them wither and dry out. I think it is beautiful.
...When I am in a large crowd, I always wonder, which one of us will die first?
...Everytime I drink a can of Diet Coke, I count through the alphabet with the ringpull until it snaps off. That will be the initial of the boy I will marry. I save them and keep them in a lunchbox under my bed. If that's not pathetic. I don't know what is.
