25 things meme

Nicked unceremoniously from 
genniidrominda because I'm bored and killing time before I have to go hop on the train to London XD
25 things you probably don't know about Bora
1. I am quite content to sit around for hours on end, only daydreaming. In fact I get quite annoyed by the people who can't leave me alone to do this.
2. I have dyspraxia, it's learning disability that people tend to nickname 'the clumsy child syndrome'. It effects things like motor-functions, balance and speech. In the most basic terms it means I miss pronounce words a lot and fall over all the time (and a crap ton of other things I can't be bothered to go into :O google it or something).
3. I -love- foods with mixed tastes. Sweet + salty is amazing in my book. As such, a lot of my cooking tends to mix flavours (and freak out everyone in the room). One of my favourite snacks is prawn crackers with chocolate sauce :3
4. *Geek moment* I play Warhammer. Right now I don't have any team to play with out here, but my brother and I have a epic little mordheim game going on back home :3 (I play slaaneshi-chaos)
5. While I can cook decently well, I'm banned from our kitchen back home. My cooking has a worrying tendency to burst into flames. I managed to set baked beans on fire once...
6. My music tastes are many and varied, but my favourite genres are metal and ska. That being said, my favourite musician is Meat Loaf (<3) and my favourite album is Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds. (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, google it! It's epic ;3;)
7. Ok this one you might have worked out already, but I collect Asian Ball Jointed Dolls (yeah those giant freaky anime-esk things). I take great joy terrorising my brother with them.
8. I love gaming, but I actually find it a lot more enjoyable watching my brother play. Due to the dyspraxia I have very bad reflexes, so fast paced gaming tends to be torture for me.
9. I was born and lived in Saudi Arabia until I was 12 (and no, this doesn't make me Muslim or Saudi thank you very much. My parents are British and so am I). At which point we moved to Holland. I loved every second of living there.
10. My mother died of cancer when I was 16. It wasn't pleasant in the least, but I've gotten over it.
11. My parents were both medical based - as such I tend to have a lot of mostly useless medical knowledge rattling around in my head XD
12. My grandmother is Marxist XD She's very proud of this fact.
13. I get distracted incredibly easily, as such I usually have a good number of things going on at once so I can easily switch between them all.
14. 14 is my lucky number :3
15. People regularly mistake me for my mother. This is honestly quite disturbing at times XD
16. My best friend ever, is my brother.
17. I've got two pets, a white fluffball cat called Arthur (from the Artful Dodger from 'Oliver Twist'- our other cat at the time was called Oliver), and a goldfish called Mushy Pea's (which is a classic side when eating fish and chips...). Pea's is apparently immortal.
18. I never wear makeup. Ever. I can't stand the stuff.
19. I've seen snow four times in my life. I really want to visit somewhere where you get loads of the stuff and romp in it. This is one of my life goals.
20. I am terrified of zombies. So much so that people making zombie noises around me will have me shaking like a leaf. I once spent a good hour+ locked in a bathroom because my brother thought it would be hysterical to pretend to be a zombie and attack the door, and then no one could convince me it was safe to come out.
21. I love cats. I'm also pretty confident I'm going to end up a crazy cat lady in my later years.
22. I am completely paranoid about being late to anything. I turn up at places two hours before hand rather then be 5 minutes late.
23. I can't drive, and have no plans to ever learn.
24. I've had more concussions in my life than I can remember.
25. I am incredible shy - my mother made me join my schools drama club to get over this. It worked. (However, I now present myself as a role when meeting new people/situations... because of this it's not until a couple of months into knowing me that I tend to act like myself). I find this ironically hysterical XD
Whoop. And I shall see you all next week then!

I hate snow
Your fish is immortal? I've got to hear more stories about this.
Aug! If you came over here, I could take you to Michigan, and fufill number 19 for you. I'd brave the chill again for you. XD
Luffs yew, hun! *offers prawn crackers and chocolate sauce*
Ahha, the immortal thing comes from one of my friends, whose dubbed him a highlander fish XD NOTHING seems to kill this bugger. I got him at the queens market about 7 years ago now, (this is the equivalent of a fairground goldfish) - so we're always surprised he lasted past a month as it is. During the time I've had him, he's survived the kitty trying to get him, jumping out his tank and me not noticing, getting fin-rot (D:! His fins are pretty ragged looking these days from that) and the one that always amazes me the most - surviving me dropping his glass tank, which then shattered. Oh, and being driven back and forth from England/Holland a good number of times XD
Man, I'd love to come visit you out there one day. It would be awesome *__*
^--^ Would love to have ya. XP
... chances of us spending the whole time playing with dolls? 100% Y/Y?
