If you really knew me

20th August 2012

If you really knew me…


You would know I don’t find silence awkward at all.

You would know that I’m quite sensitive and I cry for all weird and wonderful reasons.  A touching story, a bunch of flowers, weddings,  extreme makeover home edition, Fox and the Hound,  weird I tell you.

You would know I’m utterly, completely, incurably obsessed with the world and this results in fascination with history and geography.  You’ll lose me any place that has an atlas or globe and history books.  It’s this reason that I’m utterly, completely, incurably obsessed with travel.  I want to know, to see, to understand and experience every part of this interest.

You would know I love to smile.  I love to laugh.  I love people who make me laugh.

You would know that I think long hair makes any girl a million times prettier.

If you really knew me…

You would know my favourite story growing up was Beauty and the Beast and I still keep a cushion will Belle and Chip on my bed in honour of this favourite.

You would know that I play the piano.  I love playing Claire de Lune, Raindrop Prelude and anything very very pretty.

You would know that I fell in love five years ago and I fall more in love each day.

You would know I can speak French (badly).

You would know I love to be outside in the sunshine with fresh air and I love to be by water, whether by the sea, a lake or a river I don’t mind.  Bearing this in mind,  I’m not much of a tanner.  I’m deathly afraid of sun damage.

You would know my style icon would have to be my sister.  Although so much younger than me, she’s a style force to be reckoned with.  Actually, she’s just my icon.  I couldn’t survive without the girl.

    I loved reading this post!!! I love that you still have a pillow on your bed as a reminder and that you are afraid of the sun. I saw this on runningonhappiness last week and thought I should try it. Now b/c of yours, I am going to for sure:)
