you probably didn't know about me and probably never wanted to know.

Finally I managed to write it. Yay for me, spam for you!

1. I kept on thinking about things I could write, but when I actually sat down to write, I couldn't remember one single thing!
2. This happens to me alot, especially while thinking about fanfiction. If I don't write it down right away, I'm most likely to forget it.
3. Stories I just make up but do not write down are lost. I can't seem to recall them. Or if I can, they seem dull in comparison to what I first thought of.
4. I used to write really weird poetry and thought it was great.
5. I still write poetry. It's just not as weird anymore.
6. I try to get those poems published in the poetry magazine of the English Departement of my university.
7. As I said, I try to. They did not get published so far.
8. is my favorite number.
9. LJ is the only diary/ journal thingie I write regularily.
10. I have about three diaries somewhere in my apartement, but I tend to write only when I'm upset by something. Then I'll grab the first one I find.
11. The best way to get in touch with me is via email. I check daily.
12. It's never a good idea to call me. I have an answering maschine from hell that swallows random words. Plus, although I always try to call back, I hardly manage if you don't say if I can call back in the middle of the night.
14. I'm superstitious. That's why the number 13 is missing.
15. I have several good luck charms. I never leave the house without one.
16. I like matching items, especially when it comes to clothing.
17. This is the reason why I like tartans so much. You can go into a shop and say "I want this scarf in Black Stewart/ Jacobite/ Watson/ Modern Boyd". And it's a perfect match.
18. "Watson" actually is an English tartan, and therefore no real tartan; it's rather phoney, don't you think? I bet you didn't know I knew that!
19. I don't have a family tartan. At least none that I know of.
20. I want to live in a house with at least three guestrooms.
21. That's simply because I like having friends over.
22. I like traveling a lot. But planes still freak me out.
23. Especially the smaller ones, with two propellers. Their hull gehts really cold during the flight and it creaks and makes other funny noises.
24. I prefer going by train in any case.
25. I'm pretty self-conscious.
26. Right now, I'm happy you can't see me wearing my old sweatpants. Duh.
27. Despite No. 25, I almost never wear make up.
28. That's because I can't stand its smell. And I don't want to worry about something like that.
29. I like to read. A lot. Up to three books at the same time. And I don't confuse them.
30. Right now, I realised that you folks already know an awful lot about me.
31. This kinda scares me.
32. I always wanted to be a mysterious person, yet I babble out every tiny piece of news to all the world. I think I will explode if I don't. Honestly. Yadda yadda all the time.
33. I will hug everyone of you who can tell me who said "yadda yadda all the time" before I used it. It's a quote.
34. I'm obsessed with quotes.
35. Especially movie quotes, but any good quote will do. I collect them and wait for a good opportunity to use them (like on birthday cards).
36. I also collect tigers, letters, postcards, maneki neko's, and almost all things LOTR.
37. Yes, I'm obsessed. (And not only with quotes). I know that.
38. Some might say I can be quite mental.
39. I'm prone to day dreams. That's why I seem to zone out sometimes. Or sport an evil smile. It really depends on the day dream.
40. I consider myself to be a very cheerful person. Up to the point that I really annoy everybody else.
41. I constantly crack myself up. I just can't take myself serious!
42. I'm actually grinning as I type No. 41.
43. I'm not that cheerful all the time. Sometimes I can be very gloomy. I believe it's some kind of compensation. Usually I hide while feeling depressed or sad, so no one catches me in a bad mood.
44. I'm terrified of heights. Once I went up the tower of an old church, and when I arrived on the lookout and all I could do was press myself flat to the wall instead of enjoying the view. A friend told me I got really pale and worried her.
45. Despite my fear of heights, I want to climb up a mountain.
46. I want to do a lot of things like that but I never actually made a list.

47. The word "daft" makes me laugh, even if someone yells it at me.
48. I try not to get angry, but if someone corrals me to do something it just gets my Irish up.
49. Several things irritate me, but I believe homophobia, racism, ignorance and cruelty (and the energy behind it) irritate me most.
50. I just noticed talking about those things (*glares at No. 49*) irritates me too, so I will turn to happier aspects of myself.
51. I sing in the shower. Loudly. Sometimes off-key. But I don't care.
52. I had a crush on Billy Boyd even before I saw Lord of the Rings. I blame it on the picture of him in the Official Movie Compagnion.
53. I love winter although I hate being cold. I just bundle up then!
54. I never forget a friend. I'm prone to losing phone numbers, email adresses and other useful bits of information, but I never forget a friend.
55. I just can't recall numbers. Therefore I confuse birthdays.
56. I honestly believe I can be a pain in the ass.
57. And I will prove that to you by: forgetting important things, being unpunctual, not calling you back until at least 2 weeks passed, losing something you wanted to have ("I made copies! I just don't know where they are right now.") or being so happy peppy that you want to slam me into a wall.
58. No one has ever slammed me into a wall so far.
59. Although I got into several fights around the age of 12.
60. I really don't like talking about myself.
61. Yet I will. (Just remember 32... yadda yadda)
62. I can't tell a proper joke. Either no one laughs or I laugh myself silly while I tell it.
63. I almost die of laughing everytime I listen to Billy Connolly. (Oh! Yes! Yes!! Fuckin' brilliant!)
64. Scottish accents are fabulous. And sexy as hell. Some accents just turn me into a puddle.
65. Spinach should be shoveled up to a huge pile and be burnt. Hate it.
66. I love sending parcels. I love buying presents, packing it all into a box and sending it away.
67. Music is really important to me. Both making it and just listening to it.
68. I can play guitar. But just chords, so don't get excited.
69. I hate it when someone asks me what kind of music I like to listen to. I usually name one CD, mostly the most scurrile I can think of. It's really not an easy question to answer.
70. British folk songs make me sentimental.
71. So does winter.
72. I will do stupid things to cheer you up. I'd do a handstand if I knew how to do that. Once I made faces the whole day.
73. Yes, I feel pretty stupid while doing so, but - hey! - it cheers you up, right?
74. I like the sound of rain - against windows, on tents, umbrellas, I don't care. But I don't like to get wet, which is closely related to not wanting to be cold.
75. "Fong" is another word that makes me laugh - as in "a serious fonging is on its way" or "I will fong you"; and yes, it's a quote.
76. I have a medieval dress. It's made from dark blue/ red silk and looks gorgeous.
77. I'm addicted to Shojo Mangas like Card Captor Sakura and Wish. I just love Clamp. And their hints at Shonen Ai are priceless.
78. Suddenly I find it very hard to write this thing. It's almost like a writer's block.
79. I'm not afraid of a piece of blank paper. I'm afraid I will fill it with meaningless stuff and inappropriate trifles.
80. That's exactly the reason why I'm so nervous when I'm waiting for a beta reader's response. Wah! *waves @ kaydeefalls.*

81. Although I'm no native speaker, English is my language of craft. I can't write stories or poetry in my mother tongue. It just feels real strange.
82. I love Calvin and Hobbes, Sinfest, and Mr. Snaffleburger.
83. I just love it when someone tries to get me to write some more. It really works. Kind words help too.
84. Giving me more bunnies doesn't help. At all. It just gives me more naughty ideas to play with.
85. I can only write cute stories. Sometimes that annoys me. Sometimes it cheers me up. It really depends on whom I want to please: the angst/ smut/ kink loving audience, or myself.
86. I can't write angst, not if my life depended on it (at least not in this fandom...)
87. Sometimes I wonder how important my online friends became to me. I <3 you all! I just never thought I'd actually have online friends. It's a strange concept. And it kind of just happened. (And Llanowar? You're both an online and a RL friend!)
88. I believe in soulmates.
89. I am exactly as tall as Geena Davis.
90. Yup, that's pretty tall indeed.
91. As a child, I was teased for being so tall.
92. I wanted an older brother to beat the living **** out of those kids that picked on me. Although I kind of have an older brother, I grew up as an only child due to the fact that my mother wasn't allowed to keep him. Now that I know him I love him to pieces. I never actually told him that.
93. Family is really important to me.
94. Close friends count as family.
95. I want to have children. Plural. But I will deny it if you ask me about it. *shrugs*
96. I believe there are several kinds of love. I fall in love every other day, with both men and women. I love my friends, I love my family, I love my boyfriend. It's like different shades of a color.
97. I'm loyal to my beloved hubby. Being in love doesn't mean fooling around.
98. I love the smell of pine, tree sap, ingle, cinnemon and white musk.
99. I hug every living being that can't climb up a tree fast enough. Honestly.
100. Consider yourself hugged by now. ;)

Sorry I feel a little bit of emotional at the moment *cuddle*
