It's only me. No need to panic…yet.
Here I am once again with a new post for you all on this Monday evening…oh, and FYI, if you live in Stockholm, evening means 2.30pm throughout the winter period! Don't you just love it!?…NO. I'm yet to reach a conclusion on how i'm going to deal with the winter season in this country. It's going to be tough! I'm thinking lots of cosy fika's is a possible coping mechanism? Jättebra!
So yeah, it's been nearly 10 days since my last message on here and well, it feels like tonight is a good time for a lovely, fresh update for y'all! If you ask me, this post really needs no introduction, lets be honest. Or does it? I dunno. Maybe I should just get down to it though.
Well, here we go guys, 25 facts about me…because lets face it, who doesn't want to know this?
1.) I am obsessed with scarfs:
No but like, for real, I AM OBSESSED. Anyone that knows me well will tell you this off the cuff! If It was up to me combined with being socially acceptable, I would wear a scarf every single day of the year! I'm that guy that whips out a good old chunky scarf in the middle of July as soon as a grey cloud appears overhead, regardless of the temperature. No shame. I rock a good scarf. It's the perfect item to add that finishing touch to an outfit that lacks a little 'something'. I have more scarfs than I know what to do with and well, needless to say, the collection continues to grow…watch this space.
2.) I could live on Nutella:
I don't even want to know how much money I spend on this product every year. I have Nutella with every possible food - toast, bananas, pancakes, dry special K (it's good!) and not to mention consume vast amounts with no, not a tea spoon, but a table spoon. Somebody call the Nutella doctor!
3.) I'm an Apple 'wanker':
Not the fruit, the product. I am a self-confessed, shameless apple 'wanker' as we would say in the UK! I refuse to use or invest in any other type of technology. I have an iPhone, a macbook pro, an iPod touch and old iPod classic that I still use as well as an Apple wifi router, Apple speakers and come December - when Santa Claus is done with his job for the year, I will have an iPad. Unnecessary? Absolutely. Fabulous? Naturally. I love Apple.
4.) I have OCD:
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) is a very over-used term in the UK - but i'm convinced i've got this problem. Everything in my life has to be permanently clean, in place, pulled together and just right. Ask my nearest and dearest, they'll be able to tell you a thing or two…
5.) I'm a one-song-on-repeat type of guy:
Yeah, I have the corniest, most embarrassing taste in music and out of the abundance of music that actually exists across my iTunes and iPods - I listen to what? 1% of it?…awkward! I have literally had days (okay a week) where i've listened to the same song over, over and over again. I can't help it okay?
6.) I speak French:
So emm, yeah...good times for me I guess! Not much to say for this one really! VIVE LA FRANCE!
7.) I HATE fish:
This is actually something that I really wish I didn't hate so much. There are so many beautiful looking dishes and cuisines that include fish out there, but I just can't get over this 'thing' I have against it. It's the texture. It freaks me out. Oh god, and the smell.
8.) I point-blank refuse to drink beer:
Unless i'm completely wasted (like, to the extent i'll drink anything) I stand by this one! I detest anything and everything about beer. It's a truly vile drink that, in my opinion, men only drink to appear super-masculine and too cool for school. No one genuinely likes beer. I'm sorry, but they don't.
9.) I love quotes:
This has probably become most obvious - seeing as i've included a good few in posts on here already! I just love quotes, I don't even really know why - but when you stumble across one that sums up your day, week or how you're feeling at a particular moment etc it really is just such a great feeling! (Well, for me anyway). The majority of photos on my iPhone's camera roll consist of screen-shotted quotes. What is my life coming to? Hashtag midlife crisis comes early.
10.) I'm an extremely emotional being:
Yep. I cry far too much. I cry at films, thinking about the past, out of frustration or at photos of homeless dogs at Christmas. It's getting out of control.
11.) I have a muddled accent:
I'm often told this and it's something that i've not became as aware of until now. I have English, Scottish and Australian roots as well having spent a considerable amount of time abroad mixing with such a diverse range of accents, languages, cultures and dialects. I dunno what my accent is doing these days to be honest, at least people understand me though, right?
12.) I'm more 'savoury than sweet':
I've always been like this - ask my bestie. I would always, always, ALWAYS rather have cheese and crackers, a danish or a packet of crisps (chips for all you Americans!) than a bar of chocolate.
13.) I'm a terrible procrastinator:
I've always been the same, but yet always seem to do okay - thank god! It really is incredible how clean a room can be and how amazingly organised the 'folders' on your iPhone home screen can be throughout those exam revision/essay writing periods…
14.) I prefer Christmas to my birthday:
Yeah, pretty much. As much as I love my 'special day' that comes around once a year, I just LOVE Christmas. The snow, the decorations, the music, the mulled wine, the scented candles, the mince pies. Oh my god the mince pies….
15.) I'm negatively-obsessed with my weight:
This is something I really need to stop obsessing over as much. I mean, I know i'm not fat but at the same time, I'm not completely happy with my size/figure. But who is? I'm sure 99.99999% of you out there can relate to this one in some way! Weight is a horrendous insecurity. I look at how 'fat' my legs/body look in any possible reflection, as well as analyse the extent to which my collar bones are 'visible' way too much - in a mirror, a car window, the dark-reflective walls in the subway and god knows what else. It's terrible and I need to stop.
16.) I wear glasses:
Yeah, so i'm blind! No, not really. I wear contact lenses the vast majority of the time and so many people find it a surprise when they see me wearing my glasses. They do, however, make me look incredibly intelligent. It's always useful.
17.) I'm a hopeless romantic:
I'm the guy that's endlessly searching for that one person I want to spend the rest of my life with. All those 'perfect' moments you see in films - where people realise their un-dying for each other and share a passionate kiss under the Eiffel Tower in the rain…yeah that's my vision of love. Probably needs to change. Lets hope my man is out there somewhere though, right?
18.) I'm a traveller at heart:
I have been 'bitten' with the travel bug from a very young age - thanks to my extremely fortunate upbringing and having been able to visit a number of amazing places! However, this 'bite' means that i'll never quite be happy till i've seen all that there is to see. There is always something else out there that I desperately want to see, do or experience. The world is a big place and we were made, in my opinion, to explore it.
19.) I love ceilidhs far too much:
This is one thing that makes me very proud to have Scottish roots. Ceilidhs are just phenomenal! They bring people together in a very, very special way through fun, laughter, dance and tradition. I know every dance and am THAT person that never leaves the dance floor the entire night. Standard.
20.) I pretend i'm in a movie way too much.
Now lets be real, we all do this at some point in our lives! (If you don't, can I please be as cool as you?) But I, however, do this far too much. There have even been moments where I pretend i'm in a film when showering…you know, one of those 'getting ready' scenes with music playing in the background and you're just loving life? Yeah…this needs to stop. It's not really okay is it? Who am I trying to kid…
21.) I use both roll-on and spray deodorants…together, everyday, all the time:
It makes you feel so much fresher okay?! Just do it…trust me!
22.) I HATE watermelon:
Now i'm not actually a picky eater at all, I promise! However, I can imagine what you're all thinking with regards to this one - how can anyone hate watermelon? It doesn't taste of anything bla bla bla..well it does!! And I don't like it. The end.
23.) I have a 'passion for fashion':
I really do, I walk past people in the street and can look like a serious stalker due to the amount of time I can spend analysing something on their body…but hey, it's a compliment! Who doesn't love a compliment?
24.) I LOVE coffee:
I do think this love is party due to university life - the so-called 'god' it proves itself to be when the endless all-nighters come around to get that essay in on time. I'm sure many of you know the drill! But I do love coffee, like I genuinely love it. The taste, the smell and all those different flavours! I have around 4-5 cups a day usually - and on a bad day, a hell of a lot more!
25.) I'm gay:
In case you all didn't know…now it may be quite a shock and stuff guys, but hopefully you're all okay with it…LOL! I couldn't resist that one! Going out with a bang.
So there you have it guys, 25 fun, weird, interesting, negative and general facts about me
What are 25 facts about you?
Speak soon, watch out for that ice and wrap up warm, winter is definitely here!
