7 Random Things about, you guessed it, me
Entirely random photo in keeping with the theme of the post
Goodness, at this rate there will be nothing left to share! Everyone will have had their bit of me and Chez Spud will have to shut up shop because, finally, I ran out of things to say.
So the sassy Jules of Just Jules tagged me for ‘7 random things about me & a pic too’. Go check out her blog, she takes wonderful photos and is currently playing a brilliant ‘Tell me a Story’ game which I can’t play as I’m rubbish at imaginative writing. Sighs huffily. So go and check out her blog and then come back here to see if I’ve managed to think of 7 random things, ooh it’s tough timing though as my 30 secrets in 30 days project is nearing conclusion and I’ve still not settled on the remaining few. I might have to start lying.
OK here goes, random but not that interesting things about me in case I need them as secrets:
1. I have 4 piercings only 2 of which are now fully operational.
2. I don’t eat fish. I just don’t like it and, yes, that includes smoked salmon and seafood. If it’s fishy I don’t do it.
My idea of hell
3. I am a hopelessly lapsed Roman Catholic and my confirmation name is Colette (chosen entirely because I thought it was very elegant).
4. I once emailed my boss, in error, and told her that she was annoying me so much I wanted to stab her.
5. I’ve been married twice. This time I’m playing for keeps xxx
6. As a child, I lived in a village where inbreeding was rife. All the children had white blonde hair and deep blue eyes…one of which turned in slightly.
7. When I was 18, and thought I knew everything, I turned down a place to study at the Royal Academy of Music in a fit of pique because it was for singing and not flute.
Oh and a picture, and a bonus random thing which is that I love marmite! My lips really really stung taking this shot, don’t try this at home kids.
My mate marmite
I love that you called my bf Jules sassy! Yes, she is isn’t she. Your 7 things iist was hilarious, loved your idea of hell, and what the heck is marmite? Must be a Brit thing? Have you always been a clown? Or is this a new development? It looks like you are having soooo much fun with your secrets, can’t wait to see the new one. Seriously, I checked 2nd thing this morning!
Oh, and pllllllleeeease come play the tell me a story game, it has stalled horribly. It has a Brit feel to it and is a bit stiff. I’m thinking it could used a little comedy or maybe horror, either way, we need help!
I never have tried Marmite, but every time I see it, I think of Mr. Bean. Ha.
I too love Marmite you little sneaky Marmite eater you! Gosh we’re so compatible!!!! Now then… about the fish you have to work on it, too good to miss.
I wonder how Marmite AND fish would work??????
ok, did you go out an BUY a beautiful oyster for the purpose of that shot? and did you give it to the child who was reaching for it in the b/g? i am stunned at what you will do for a good picture. colette.
you know you will be known as colette from now on.
i’m looking forward to my 30 secrets, tho’ i fear i used up far too many in recent confessions…and i’m not catholic, lapsed or otherwise, i just thought it was fun to confess.
love the list…. the e-mail to the boss…. well that’s just classic… Colette
that is a cute name…. are you gonna hate us all now, if we keep calling you that???
great list! number 6 is a little creepy… i´ll try not to think about it…
number 7 – isn’t strange how you are utterly convinced that you know all there is to know when you’re a teenager? if I met my teenage self now I would be sure to tell her otherwise
what the heck is marmite? Numbers 3 and 5 I am totally with you on (my name was Cecilia…but I’m not sure if I’ve spelled it right)
Tee hee, Marmite…is ‘vegetable extract’. Actually no one knows what it is, it’s a thick black strong tasting spread that you put on toast. Aussies call it vegemite. It’s one of those ‘love it or hate it’ things!
If either of my boys had been a girl he/she would have been called Celia or Cecilia! But not Colette…
oh I finally made it over here. Seriously ! thank you so much for the shout out and for playing along. Your pics hilarious, well laid out, and beautiful. Your writing is not hideous at all and your random things were brilliant. Even though it was bad timing.
thank you!
Your lips might have stung, but they looked great.
