Forced Journal Entry

I was tagged by MorganBang, who I've noticed, never filled out one of these (this will soon be rectified in my one and only tag session). My entry is LONG!

The rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.



1. I have a strange, and rather OC habit of lifting my feet at every post, rail and passing car when I’m in the passenger seat of a moving vehicle. If I believe I haven’t lifted my foot in time, and miss the post/rail/car, I get pissed off at myself… I’ve taken to fooling myself into believing that someone else has done this before me so that I can force myself to reluctantly stop.

2. Most people that know me well can read me like a book because I never think before I speak unless:

1. It’s an important conversation
2. I’m telling a lie
3. Remembering a joke (I’m crap at this)
4. Learning lines for a play

3. I chew my lip when I’m thinking very hard or becoming very nervous. I never realise I’m doing it until I’m bleeding.

4. I’ve never known anyone who has paler eyes then me. Some people have mentioned that when I’m standing in a certain light my eyes look white. This, in turn scares me, as sometimes, when I look at my brother, I’ve often been tricked into believing that his eyes have momentarily turned completely black (from pupil to edge of iris). I know it is just a trick of the light, but I still believe I’m legitimately paranoid.

5. I’ve never lived in a house that hasn’t had some sort of weird/gory/interesting history or structure. My first house practically had three walls and a fourth wall ducked taped on to the rest. We realised this when a cyclone was passing through… My second house apparently had a suicide case in either my brothers, or my room. We never wanted further details. My third house has a set of slave quarters underneath it and the man who built it ran a lucrative slave selling business. My friends probably wonder why I am never freaked out about weird noises, strange apparitions or unexplained occurrences any more… All is explained.

6. I’ve always been terrified about mistreating animals because of a weird show I watched when I was a child where a good looking guy had to spend his life as a dog, with infrequent transformations back into human form. I know this is complete bullshit and will never happen, but if there is even the slightest possibility, I don’t want any vengeful creatures going for the kitchen knives or crossbow hanging on my wall.

7. I never wear skirts unless I’m acting and in character. The funny thing is, they feel completely natural until I’m out of character again… it’s the easiest way for me to know if I’m doing my job and if I’m maintaining the personality of whoever I’m acting at the moment. Roxie from CHICAGO is my skirt girl for the next few weeks, and then I have to wear a dress on stage! I’ll be horrified about this until I’m in Roxie mode again…

8. I have a birthmark that looks like a sitting cat. I outlined it during a Halloween party when I was young and my mum discovered this quirky fact.
