So the lovely
dgjamie has tagged me to do this meme, since you don't actually know all that much about me, and I'm currently putting off doing the house work, I thought, why not. :D
A. List ten habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag ten people to do the same. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it." And if I tag you, you're obliged to go through with this.
1) I'm not a naturally creative person. I dabbled in music (clarinet) and art before turning to writing, and although I was able to reach a better than mediocre standard in both, it was because I worked my arse off at it, not due to any innate talent. Writing comes easier to me, and although I still work damn hard to improve my work, it's not been as difficult as music or art.
2) I'm very tenacious. I rarely give up on anything, and will keep working on it until I'm satisfied. This is why I want to fix that damn mesh.
3) This one will come as no surprise to you all. I'm a history buff, especially social history. My favourite ancient civilisation is the ancient Egyptians, my favourite modern era is the Victorian era.
4) I've lived in my home town all my life.
5) I graduated from university with a 2:1 in Tourism Management in 2002.
6) Up until the upper sixth, I'd wanted to study law and become a solicitor, but I found out at a career seminar my school held that in order to practise law, I'd need to do a post-graduate course, that I wouldn't get any financial assistance for and would be way too much for me to be able to afford without assistance.
7) I chose my degree course because it looked varied and interesting, and I didn't know what else to do. It was varied, and parts were interesting. The essay I got my highest mark for was on how the changing social climate of the 19th century affected the development of the British seaside resorts. It's thanks to that essay that Simmouth is built around a spa, and contains an art gallery and public library.
8) I'm a science and engineering nerd. I love machines, especially cars and old planes. Can't tell you why, but I do.
9) I have very eclectic taste in music. I'll listen to everything from swing to pop to rock to metal. The only music I don't really like is dance.
10) I started to go grey at 20. It's all mum's fault, she went grey early too. :P Having said that, my grey still isn't too bad, and is only noticeable when I have my hair in certain styles.
Umm, I don't think I'm going to tag anyone per se, just whoever wants to do this, can. :)
