2. I drink so much tea that people have started asking me 'how do you sleep at night?' I sleep just fine, thank you very much. Caffeine stopped working on me long, long ago!
3. If I won the lottery I would travel the world - but in short stints rather than continuously travelling. I don't care if this makes me sound a bit mental, but I have 3 fur babies to take care of. Mama can't be jetting off for too long without them, ya hear?
4. When I was 18 I read Harry Potter 4-7 in the space of a few weeks. I got so into it that I started dreaming I was one of the characters. That Ron Weasley is one HELL of a kisser. (I still fancy him to this day)
5. I get really paranoid about food poisoning when I cook. I got food poisoning over the weekend from eating out, so can now remember why I'm so keen to avoid it. It means I use about 3 times the equipment I should do as I try to avoid cross contamination.
6. I wholeheartedly believe that Jude Law has the sexiest voice in the entire world.
7. Last year I had to force myself to read less, I was spending too much time with my nose in my e-reader.
8. Ever since my house got broken into, I half expect to find someone in my kitchen every time I get home first. It has lead to some weird moments of sneaking around my own home so as not to disturb anyone else that might be in there.
9. I haven't knowingly sang in front of anyone else since I was about 16, after my music teacher tried to force me to sing in front of the whole school.
10. I eat a lot of cheese.
12. The Half Blood Prince was my favourite Potter book, my favourite Potter 'scene' (as in, part of the book) was Ron crying after killing the Harry/Hermione horcrux.
13. I won't eat lamb because I like sheep too much.
14. I hold my cat like a teddy bear when I'm going to sleep. She often stays tucked up with us long after we've fallen to sleep. The other cat then sleeps on top of us. It's ridonculous.
15. Sometimes I'm too quick to voice my opinions. (But I think being too quick to voice your opinions is better than sitting back and letting someone else force you to agree with theirs.)
16. I find the TV show 'Miranda' absolutely hilarious. SUCH FUN!
17. Luke won't let me watch 'Marley & Me' or 'Hachi' because I turn into a huge sobbing mess, and continue to cry for a good while once the film has finished.
18. I'm very uncomfortable with any story that has cancer as it's main theme. While I'm sure stories of this nature add something to the literary world, I don't want to know what cancer sufferers go through in a huge level of detail. I tried reading 'My Sister's Keeper' once but it made me feel all wobbly. It had to go.
19. I don't tan. I don't even freckle anymore. I just glow bright red for a day or two and then turn back to milk.
20. My real name is Charlotte.
<3 <3 I love number 14- I wish my cat would let me hold him like that.. he does sleep on top of me though. xx
ReplyDeletePoint 9 - That's me, but since I was 11 or 12. My music teacher forced me to sing in front of the whole class and then said I was terrible. I'm 25 now and still can't get past that :( xx
ReplyDeleteI've definitely had dreams about kissing Ron Weasley too! x
ReplyDeleteJude Law! He's so dreamy. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMy last flat got broken into and for the rest of my time there if I was woken by any sound in the night I'd panic slightly. Really hits you.
ReplyDeleteAlso ditto to number 9 and and half-Blood Prince was my favourite book too (but least favourite film, weird).

I used to pretend I was a Harry Potter character so I could date Fred, haha x
ReplyDeleteLove this :) xxxxx
ReplyDelete14. mine refuses that. instead she comes to purr and cuddle for a while in the morning - to give her breakfast, of course.
ReplyDelete17. i do that too with some movies.
19. same here.
I love this list Charlotte!! :)
ReplyDeleteMiranda, check. Lots of cheese, check. Tea drinker extraordinaire, check. We are twinnies. Except my name's not Charlotte.
ReplyDeletemy real name is charlotte too.
ReplyDeleteand miranda is hilarious.
and i don't tan but get lots of freckles apart from on my legs which just remain white.
its like we are twins ;)
I'm with you on the cats. I always feel bad when I go away for a week and I really miss my cats. Especially if I have to leave them in an empty house with someone coming around to feed them for us.
ReplyDeleteOh wow this was so lovely and funny! I feel like we have some things alike because I am a huge Harry Potter fan (and I totally fancy Ron!). For me it is coffee, I always have a coffee in my hands, its like a part of me, really! And I prefer to drink it at night while chilling/reading/studying and I sleep sooo good! Charlotte is such a beautiful name.
ReplyDeleteOlive xox
what a lovely list. agree: i don't weigh myself either nor care what it is. i love cheese. and sometimes voicing opinions right away can be a good thing.
ReplyDeletei'm madly scrolling through your blog -- catching up! still adore it. xoxo
I'm also called Charlotte and love Miranda so much - funniest programme!

I've only ever cried at 2 films, Marley & Me and Hachi. They are so sad. Also, just a tip, don't watch Marley&Me and then read the end of the book, emotion overload! x
ReplyDeleteI cry like a mad women when I watch Marley&Me and Hachi. And when I read the Marley book too...

I love this list! My cat does number 14 as well. Everynight without fail he either sleeps in the crook of my arm or my husbands or he is between us under the blankets with his head on the pillow. I swear he thinks he is human! Our other cat sleeps on the end of our bed by our feet. I love it and can't fall asleep without them there!
ReplyDeleteI chuckled at your #4. I once had a dream that I hung out with Harry. Nothing ever happened, we just hung out. lol
ReplyDeleteI am soooo with you on #2 and #16 I guess then, our ideal scenario would be watching Miranda with a cup of tea?! We don't ask for much do we ;) xx
ReplyDeleteAw, this is such a great post!
ReplyDeleteI've had wierd dreams about Ron before aswell...I still totally would ;)
Ahhhhhh, have you watched this week's Miranda?! Say yes!!!! SO GOOD!
You're my kinda girl!
ReplyDeletehttp://whatlettieloves.blogspot.co.uk
Again slightly concerned we're the same person, freaks me out.
ReplyDelete(Love no 13!) x
Oh God! Hachi and Marley and me are the worst! When I watched Hachi I started crying about 5 mins in and didn't stop till like 2 hours after the film was over and then in the morning I woke up, remembered it and started crying again, my mum thought I was crazy. Even know if I hear the music I start to sob hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of tea, reading, Miranda and Ron Weasley. Great post!xx
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the Jude law voice thing - makes me melt!!! Especially in The Holiday! XoX
ReplyDeleteHaha I literally thought I was the only person who found Ron Weasley fanciable! And I don't just mean the Rupert Grint version (although actually he's pretty tasty! While I'm at it, did you see Neville in the final film!?! Hello!!) but actually the literary version? Is it acceptable to fancy someone in a book?
