I've been Tagged...

...by Amanda

hmmmm, 8 interesting things about myself, then tag 4 - 8 others to do the same

1) When I was a baby my aunt refused to believe that I was not a child from the movie 'Children of the Dammed' i was SOO serious and intense. By the age of 3 i could still fit in to the outfit my mother brought me home from hospital in and it freaked her out to see such a small person walking and talking. (i didn't grow till i was about 11 and now I'm 5ft6")
(3 and a half here)

2) Growing up from the age of about 8 i was beyond tomboy! i WAS a boy (or at least a girl in some serious denial!) untill you just cant deny by the age of 15...stupid boobs!!! photographic proof needed here also i think....



3) My mum is awesomely cool. among other things...when i was 9 she put my older sisters bra on me....stuffed it....and took me to see the 'Full Monty' while i should have been at school (the movie is a 15 in the UK)

4) i was a secret Michael Jackson fan...i wanted to BE Michael Jackson :)

5) I've always been afraid of upsetting people! i was SO good at school, never got detention, and loved mainly by the male staff...my teachers were my friends. I never wanted to leave school and miss it like a lost loved one. (its only been two years.)

6) I've never wanted to grow up beyond the age of 6. had some rough times after that and i guess that's where my mind lies of how i remember 'my family' oh, and i still sleep with my Rosie bear...who dispite the name, is and always was a boy. My uni friends teased me that i had a gender confused bear.

7) Music sends me back in time. i can literally feel it. I never talk about problems and i HATE mushy sentimental talking (although ill admit it is sometimes needed, but i don't do it.) and i don't like to remember the past...it upsets me to think of happy times.

8) I'm a painter by heart. its what I'm best at, but i love how instant photography can be! especially film.

I really like how you've gone down memory lane with your tag! Your mum is stunning! i love old photographs and the feeling of timelessness about them... i'm enjoying the tagging now.. (originally thought it was very chain letter-ish) but it's interesting to read new things about people..
