50 things about me

Not my usual kind of post but hey I got tagged what can ya do! So 50 facts about me- here you go!

1. I'm a July baby, and am 15 this summer (!!!) . 2. I'm therefore a cancer zodiac, and apparently that makes me highly emotional and deep feeling, as well as incredibly passionate in my ideas. Pretty accurate. 3. For part of my young childhood I grew up in France and was completely submerged in the local village school, and therefore speak and write fluent French. 4. I play the piano and hoping to do Grade 8 at Christmas but am basically terrified. 5. I have an obsession with hats. I own a large collection ranging from vintage cloche hats to velvet berets. 6. I love to sing. 7. I had braces for about 3 months but I hated them so much I got them taken off and now my teeth are only a tiny bit wonky! 8. My ambition in life is to go to Oxford and study English, and then a writer or an artist. I understand that this may require a fair amount of work. 9. My favourite artist is probably Bottocelli and then Paul Klee and then Frida Kahlo. 10. I own a cloak that my mum made me when I wa ten and it is blue velvet and I wear it whenever possible. 11. My entire room is lit by fairy lights. 12. I have Cystic Fibrosis, always have done always will. 13. I love running, and am at the moment doing 10k or so. 14. I am a really really really strong feminist. 15. Jeremy Corbyn is the MAN. 16. I have really strong political views which are pretty left wing. 17. I love vintage clothes and thrifting. 18. Last week I read 4 books because I had a lot of spare time and I love to read. 19. I have dyed red hair which I coloured with henna and I'm naturally darkish blonde but I feel in my soul that I am a red head. 20. I am definitely a dog person rather than cats because cats make my eyes swell up and stream. 21. I am absolutely and totally inspired by Tavi Gevinson. She is basically the best thing ever to happen to the Internet. 22. I do have Snapshat and Instagram, but they scare me so I deleted them off my phone etc. 23. I go to a Quaker school where we have yurts and stuff. 24. For GCSE my chosen options are History, Spanish, art, and German, plus French which I did last year. 25. I strongly believe that Physics is a waste of my time since I will never ever need to know what my gravitational potential force is thank you very much. 26. I will fight you if you diss one of my friends or me. Really. 27. I love Pablo Neruda and WH Auden because they have a sensitivity to their poetry that I understand but cannot get express. 28. I have a 1930s Corona typewriter. 29. I have a record player on which I play Ella Fitzgerald, Scott Joplin, uh, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Bach... I'm pretty funky, let me tell you. 30. I have grey blue eyes and am very very pale skinned. 31. I love photography and art, especially watercolour. 32. I am an avid reader of RookieMag read it it is wonderfully insightful plus Tavi runs it so... 33. If Oxford doesn't work out I want to study millinery in Vienna. 34. Pro Brexit people scare me 35. So do spiders 36. And foundation 37. I don't tend to wear any makeup except to special events. 38. I love Freaks and Geeks. 39. I can't act to save my life except when no one knows I am acting. 40. I can't lie, because I start to feel physically ill and confess immediately. 41. I have a very low tolerance of girl who dumb themselves down and also of people who define themselves using media-dictated beauty standards. 42. My friend Nina and I have like 58 inside jokes that are so inside that sometimes we don't even have to say anything- we just know. This makes me feel special. 43. Nina once punched someone when they asked her out. Just saying- I have really fabulous friends. 44. When I was little and people sang "Polly put the Kettle on" I used to be scared that Suky was going to come and get me and pour boiling water on me. 45. I have a hammock in my room. 46. No, I don't have a crush on anyone, so don't even bother asking :) 47. I like to make my own clothes or alter them and once I made Nina seriously uncomfortable by modifying a skirt by picking it up and just hacking into the hem to shorten it (she's more of a pin and tack person) 48. My favourite colour is blue. 49. I was badly bullied when I lived in France, and so we moved back to England and now I live in Somerset. 50. I am really really glad I have finished writing this because I have run out of things to say. Phew!
