26 Things About Nic the Red Headed Irish Grrl
1. I have problems saying the words 'funeral' and 'receipt'.
2. When I was thirteen I went to my first underage disco, I was so self conscious I didn't dance and my refusal to do so was made fun of by a group of boys nearby. At one point I got up to talk to someone and when I went to sit back down, one of the boys moved the chair and I ended up on the floor. I still remember his name and as silly as this sounds, one day I will find him and return the favour.
3. My Dad's eldest brother, his wife and their family are an absolute mystery to me, I have never met them but I did google my Uncle and found his picture.
4. I think my hairline is receding.
5. I saw 'Twilight' three times in the past month, and I've read all the books including the draft of a fifth on Stephanie Meyer's website. I don't understand why I feel compelled to read them or watch the film.
6. I cried at the end of 'Into The Wild' but I envied Christopher McCandless' his freedom as he travelled. I'm saving towards going to Australia next year but I'm worried I won't have the strength to be by myself.
7. My sister and I are petrified of turning into our Mother. Unfortunately I think I'm already halfway there.
8. I hate looking in full length mirrors. So much so I am on the cusp of purchasing a workout dvd because there is no way I'm embarrassing myself in a gym.
9. In about a week, I'm unemployed.
10. One of the worst days of my life was when my dad walked out the front door into a taxi without speaking to me or my sister. I found out the next day that he was in hospital after trying to commit suicide. One of my mum's brother's blamed my mother. While I love my mum, dad and that particular uncle, I will never forget or forgive them for that.
11. 'Hope' is a very dangerous thing in my opinion.
12. When I'm driving I scream and curse at other drivers but I smile at the same time so they don't realise what I'm doing.
13. Repressing anger, hatred and disappointment has gotten a lot harder recently.
14. I was at a vintage market yesterday and met a hairdresser who specialises in vintage hairstyles with a rockabilly twist. I'm not sure whether to wait for a special event to make an appointment or to just do it to feel good about myself!
15. A lot of my money is wasted on vintage costume jewelery and similar accessories. I'm too chicken to wear them in public. Necklaces are wasted on me as my neck is far too big!
16. Noel Fielding is scarily good looking. Even when he's dressed up as a granny in Nanageddon. I still prefer Julian Barratt.
17. I missed James Brown playing Oxegen in 2005 to see the Foo Fighters instead.
18. The scene in Signs with the aliens walking around the house trying to get in scares the crap out of me as it is almost the same as a nightmare I had when we moved house eighteen years ago but with giant wolves slinking around my house and their silhouettes on the curtains...(giving myself goosebumps!)
19. The conversations I have with myself in the mirror are sometimes the most intelligent conversations I'll have all day.
20. As much as I love going to gigs, local bands or big names, I hate the majority of the audience around me. They push into me, step on my feet and at one gig a couple of years ago, one drunk guy humped the back of my leg. I do love that moment when you think that for a split second that your favorite member of the band made eye contact with you. It's a fleeting moment but it makes me feel a bit giggly!
21. Patrick Swayze ruined me for other men.
22. Marriage is not an option for me but the idea of it chills me.
23. One day I'll tell all of the feckers that annoy to me to piss off.
24. I think I might miss all those feckers when they're gone entirely.
25. I can't think of anything else about myself that would be in anyway interesting, not that any of the above actually is interesting.
26. I think you are an amazingly strong person.
