Random Things

10 random facts about me, because it's been one of those random days where I stay in my tracksuit and do my tax and work on school stuff allllll day long.

Inspired by Angie's post about quirks and pet peeves... here are some funny but true things about me.


- I really hate coffee. Hate the smell, hate the taste.


- I can't just buy one item at the supermarket, I feel compelled to spend a little more money and stock up on at least three things.


- I have to spread my Vegemite all the way to the edges of the bread, so that it covers the butter I've put underneath the Vegemite.
(Also, the reason "foreigners" hate it so much is that they don't eat it properly- you have to eat it on bread or crackers with butter or margarine on it first, you can't just eat it alone.)


- I can't go to bed with the doors of my closet open.


- I always have the TV on when I'm baking or cooking. Preferably on a music channel like MTV.


- I love hotel beds. I love the crispness of the white sheets.


- I can't sleep on planes. I'm too anxious and uptight to relax enough to fall asleep. For one thing, there's almost always turbulence, even if it's only short lived, and then I just can't sleep because I'm waiting for the next bit of turbulence to come anyway.


- After I get out of the shower, I always dry my legs and feet with the towel first.


- There are only five fruits that I will eat- apples, bananas, oranges, mandarins and green grapes with no seeds.


- I hate common spelling and grammar mistakes, like people who use the wrong "your" and "you're", or "their", "there" and "they're". Mixing up "effect" and "affect" bugs me too.


I guess it's a good thing I'm a teacher! I am an absolute grammar Nazi!
