So over the last few weeks, it seems a lot of lovely people in the blogging universe have been doing “If You Really Knew Me” challenge, and I thought I’d jump on this bandwagon and do one too. Though, there probably isn’t much you don’t know about me. I’m pretty open and tell you lots of things, like all about me, what books I’m reading, what I want to do in life, and where I’ve been. But maybe there are some things I can scrounge up and tell you.

If you really knew me:

You’d know that I love red liquorish, but hate the black stuff. Gross.

You’d know that my hair has mood swings. Sometimes it looks lighter, sometimes it looks darker, sometimes it is just normal. But even if I haven’t done anything to it, people still ask ‘have you dyed your hair?’.

You’d know that I love musicals, old and new. My favourite is Singing in the Rain.

You’d know that I love Disney movies.

You’d know that I love Harry Potter and everything related. Update: I went to the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour and loved it!

You’d know that I love Doctor Who too. Update: I visited the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff and it was brilliant.

You’d know that I try and buy a postcard in every city or country I visit.

You’d know that I collect feathers when I take the dog for a walk…or any other time actually. I now have a container that is ever-growing.

You’d know that I love my feather duvet more than I should love a bedding item.

You’d know that I’m not ashamed to love 90s music and to sing VERY loudly in the car to people like Britney and the Backstreet Boys.

You’d know that I am certainly NOT a morning person. Don’t even talk to me or look in my direction before I’ve had my morning coffee…

You’d know that I am far from a tidy person. Everything has a place in my room…on the floor. But no one else seems to get the concept of a Floor-drobe.

You’d know I don’t get stressed. ‘WHAT?!’ you probably say. It’s true. I’m very go-with-the-flow. It is what it is. Don’t freak out about it. Calm down. It’s gonna happen no matter what, so you might as well not be freaking about it. Meh.

You’d know I watch a lot of TV shows. A lot. In the past year and a half (so from about Jan 2011) I’ve watched every season of: The OC, Buffy, Angel, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory (though those two last ones I watch all the time anyway), Downton Abbey, Battlestar Galactica, and Seasons 1-2 of Parenthood, Seasons -1-4 of Chuck, Seasons 1-4 of Supernatural, Seasons 1-6 of One Tree Hill (watching season 7 at the moment)…and then as well as whatever is on TV. So I just finished Once Upon a Time, and Hart of Dixie is still on…

So there we have it. A short list of things that you now know about me. That was quite fun! If you give it a go, please do let me know!
