11 things… | Giant Fossilized Armadillo
Jesskindly tagged me in the "11 things" survey over the weekend, and since I am supposed to be writing an assignment right now I thought I should take part ASAP! Anyway,I do like a bit of fun to break up the monotony of…oh wait, my last post was about gingerbread dinosaurs and the one before that was POTW. I guess my mood must be better this week
Here are the survey rules:
#1: You must post these rules (erm, done!).
#2: Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their blog.
#3: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
11 things, hmm? I'm not sure there's an awful lot you guys don't know about me by this point! I will give it a go anyway.
1. While I don't read food or health blogs these days I did when I started blogging, and although I am unlikely to ever drink a kale smoothie I do credit them with encouraging me to try certain foods that I'd always been scared of or convinced I didn't like before. I'm not even talking about anything exotic: at the age of 24 I hadn't eaten a banana for 20 years! It was a textural issue rather than an eating disordered one, the texture made me feel squeamish and a bit sick. However, after a couple of months of reading about the bananas of various food bloggers I thought I would give it another chance. Even now I can't eat bananas "cold", they have to be heated up in some way – mashed up in porridge or cut in half, covered in peanut butter and microwaved. I know I'm odd.
2. In addition to my discomfort with bananas, I had also never tried peanut butter until 2009, and I only started drinking coffee last year. Late starter!
3. I spent the entire summer of 1999 lying on my sofa watching my brothers play Spyro the Dragon on the playstation. It seemed like the thing to do when I was 15.
4. Before the digestive problems of doom began I used to be able to out-curry all my friends. Vindaloo? What's the fuss all about?! Of course these days I can't eat anything with chilli in without suffering. Humph.
5. Other than hairdressers, I've never been to any sort of beauty professional/therapist. I've never had a make over, a manicure, pedicure, wax (erm, just no) or anything along those lines. I believe I may be missing some girl genes somewhere.
