25 random things about me...

I produced this list for Facebook, having come across my 2009 version...

25 Random Things About Me: 2012 List

1. I don't go out much. Understatement. Working on it!

2. I write poetry and post it on my poetry blog and Tripod site.

3. I haven't read a novel since "The Bell Jar" (finished on 3 November 2011) - had an attempt to read "Mount Misery" (have tried before), and was enjoying it, but didn't persist.

4. I love Sophie Hannah. Her poetry. But I've not read any of her crime novels. See 3!

5. I have listened to Amy Studt's "False Smiles" album so many times. I love it!

6. My slippers are pink with Eeyore on them.

7. I am currently wearing a pale yellow T-shirt featuring a picture of three bananas on skateboards. It says: "Go bananas!" It is a few years old now, and came from New Look.

8. My husband and I currently have four pet cockatiels, five budgies and four zebra finches.

9. I drink a lot of tea.

10. I love Frijj milkshakes, and my favourite flavour is Fudge Brownie.

11. I love chocolate brownies, but haven't had one for a while.

12. My husband and I live in a very untidy two bedroom flat in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

13. I don't like talking on the phone.

14. I spend too much time on Facebook.

15. I love my Netbook.

16. I haven't been to a Quaker meeting since 2009.

17. I am vegetarian, but not vegan. I'm not that good! But I don't eat fish. I don't eat any dead animals.

18. I hardly ever go on to the various Ning groups that I used to be so into. Let alone Beliefnet. No-one seems to go on to Beliefnet anymore.

19. I can actually use Twitter properly now, and hold a conversation on there. But I'm still working on Tumblr!

20. I didn't like the idea of having a Timeline on Facebook, but I'm getting used to it. I find it okay.

21. I have actually started to blog poems from "Paula Tree" and "Relations to Angels"!

22. I have various blogs. Some I still update and some I don't bother with anymore. I also still have pages on Myspace and friendsreunited (as far as I know!), but never log into either site nowadays.

23. I still have the Tripod site that I posted my novel on. The one novel that I ever finished writing!

24. I sometimes stay up late to do random things, such as writing lists of 25 random things about me.

25. I can remember my national insurance number by heart because my first job was in the tax office in Reading and national insurance numbers was kind of what we did. But even I'm not silly enough to put my national insurance number on Facebook!!!
