1. People peg me as a person who likes classical music. They are very, very, very wrong. I listen to high beat trance, techno, house, electronica, dance, remixes, symphonic rock, pop, punk, basically anything that's catchy, fun, dramatic or otherwise evokes strong emotion from me. Like movie soundtracks *coughhanszimmercoughdannyelfmancoughsplutter*. On the other hand, I really enjoy Romany folk music.
2. Speaking of Romany folk music...I'm quarter gypsy. I don't look it - I don't have the dark, chocolate eyes, and the brown, almost black hair.
3. I have fallen head over heels for the Sherlock Holmes fandom. I don't consider myself a true Holmesian...yet. I'm working my way through the books, and I've watched the '09 film, and the BBC 2010 series, plus an episode or two of the Granada series.
4. I am absolutely petrified of graduating from the IB in...4 days, 6 hours, and 55 minutes. I have two more exams to go, and then I won't ever have to read/write French again. It's more of the concept of leaving the safest and most accepting working environment I have ever been in, than not knowing what to do with myself.
5. Due to my new love of Sherlock Holmes, I am no longer upset that I have a screwed up right leg, and that I occasionally walk with a limp after an episode of muscle seizure. Thank you Doctor Watson
6. My eyes have been described by my mother as "stagnant chemical swamp water coloured". It was a joke, but I have found that's the best description of their colour I've ever come across.
7. Speaking of my eyes, I've been wearing glasses since I was nine or ten, and probably should have been wearing them since seven or eight. The good news is, the left eye has stablised and the right eye is almost stable. This means that they won't get any worse unless I do something stupid with them. Like read in the dark.
I hate contact lenses, but hockey makes them necessary.
8. I have learnt Indonesian, Chinese, German, and French in my various primary schools and high schools. None of them have stuck, except for some really terrible French. And people wonder why I'm not good with second languages...it's because I've had NO BLOODY CONSISTENCY!
9. I have a boyfriend now.
He's ridiculously sweet, and gets flustered trying to put his arm around me. I love him to bits for the things he says/does. Like get all macho about going into Paranormal Activity 2, expecting me to be the one to freak out, and then freaking out badly himself. *hugs* He's MY psychologist in training.
10. I'm not tagging ten people. Only because I'm lazy and French calls for revision!
