Posted by Lou. The time is 11.50am here in London UK.
A recent photo of me:
Well here is me on the same day,
as captured by Bel on my Lomograph Action Sampler.
15 (probably-not-so-)interesting facts about me:
- Just like Bel, I always check that I am putting headphone earbuds into the correct ear.
- Through those headphones I tend to listen to the same songs repetitively for weeks, in cycles, rarely adding any new music.
- I love musicals. Quite a lot. And am proud of it. Singers with "musicals" voices tend to appear in my playlists a lot.
- Subsequently, I lament the lack of singing ability with which I was born. (Not that I'm tone deaf - I'm just not blessed with the natural musicality required to really belt out an Eponine or a Fantine.)
- Unfortunately I tend to be a really apathetic person when it comes to "activities" and "hobbies" so taking the logical proactive step of doing something like singing lessons will just Never Happen.
- Not that in general I'm an apathetic person - I am extremely active about many things, such as moving city/ country/ changing degree/ changing job/ demanding pay-increases etc.
- I'm also generally optimistic and always assume that things will work out in the end. The phrase "It'll be fine!" often passes my lips.
- Things usually are fine.
- I think this is due to me not really having any definitiveness in how I want my life to be or what I want to do or where I want to be.
- Hence I sort of have accidentally ended up living in London for 4 years and counting.
- For the vast majority of those 4 years I have both lived and worked by the Thames. For some reason being by water - despite the fact that I rarely go swimming - is a Very Important Thing in my life.
- Another Very Important Thing in my life is sleep. I am definitely a night person though, and thus have a deeply held sense of resentment towards having to get up every weekday in the earlier half of the morningtime to go to work.
- On workday mornings I drink coffee and then switch to tea in the late-morning/ afternoon, often consuming up to 5 cups throughout the day. I also drink a vast quantity of water throughout the working day. I'm down with liquid refreshment, enjoying every type and form (except tomato juice).
- Contrarily, I am what might be called "fussy" when it comes to food. But I'm definitely on the positive and easy-going side of "fussy" eaters as I love food and meals out and try new things and am always happy with something.
- If I was pushed to decide upon one food/meal as being my absolute favourite - say if I was on death row and needed to choose a final meal - I would probably say Chicken Pad Thai.
Lou! The earphones thing! We're not the only ones! :D
You would have to be the most open minded fussy foodie I have ever met...! Do you find that you get favourites and stick to those because they're 'safe' or not at all?? Being a vege backs me into that corner a lot of the time.
I guess I'm just fussy in comparison to my experimental foodie friends who eat stuff like brains. Though in my younger days I did used to pretty much eat nothing but honey sandwiches and roast potatoes.......
Generally in life (whether it's food, music, friends or whatever) when I like stuff I want to have lots of it and don't want to risk not having the thing that I like in order to try out something new, if you know what I mean. So I guess I'm often not not eating something, but rather just eating the thing I know I really like.
