[100 Things About Me.]

#1 I'm left-handed.
#2 Like a bizarrely high proportion of my friends, my middle name is James.
#3 I was born on January 15, 1982, in Bristol, England.
#4 I share my birth date with one of the coolest guy's I've ever met.
#5 I'm roughly 5'5", but this doesn't bother me.
#6 I need to sleep lots; definitely more than 8 hours a day to work properly.
#7 I was editor of our old college magazine. I think everyone thought I did it for the power.
#8 I enjoyed the power, but the writing stuff was pretty cool as well. I'm kinda addicted to it.
#9 I wouldn't mind having a book published; writing for TV would be pretty nice, too.
#10 I love good sitcoms. Bad ones are just /terrible/.
#11 I am in complete awe of Joss Whedon and anyone who can draw.
#12 I like almost all music. And that's "sing along" like, not "don't mind really" like.
#13 I like having my hair cut. It makes me feel fuzzy.
#14 As well as the smell of cut grass and magic markers.
#15 When I was a kid, I had chicken pox. It made me really scared of red dots, for some reason.
#16 And my dad got run over when I was about six. That scared me more.
#17 My mother trained to be a teacher before she had me. She'd have made a really good teacher.
#18 I've never left Europe.
#19 Within Europe, I've been to Paris, Florence, Berlin, Prague, Lisbon, Amsterdam and Brussels.
#20 I'd really love to go to New Zealand. And Canada.
#21 I have a scar on the back of my head where I cut it open playing football one time.
#22 I've played football significantly less since.
#23 When I was a kid, we had an MSX computer and I programmed it to play Duck Shoot.
#24 I'm waaay less geeky now, thankfully.
#25 I don't understand HTML or webcoding, it scares me. I just write the words and draw the pictures.
#26 People assume cos I have a website I know what I'm doing with it. This is wrong.
#27 My eyes are blue and my hair is brown.
#28 My family on my father's side is Irish.
#29 I don't look like either of my parents.
#30 I'm the tallest member of my immediate family.
#31 Eyes, hair, coat, arms, smile.
#32 I like flirting with people. It's nice.
#33 My close friends are more important to me than having loads of semi-close friends.
#34 Although that's pretty nice too.
#35 Alcohol is good. Good alcohol includes Baileys and vodka-and-coke.
#36 Bad alcohol means tequila, Schnapps, and mingy red wine.
#37 My favourite places in the whole world are Florence, Bath, and Leamington Spa.
#38 At A'level I took History (B), English Literature (A) and Sociology (B). And General Studies (A).
#39 I'd really like to settle down with someone. I like security.
#40 But also, I like dynamism. But with somewhere to go back to when it's over.
#41 Most of my best friends are now male, despite them being female in the past.
#42 I'm crap - just crap - at maths and science-y things. Numbers confuse me and I forget them all.
#43 I really, really liked infant school, upper secondary school, and sixth form. I liked school.
#44 In Starbucks, the best things are frappuccinos. And eggnog latte.
#45 I love autumn. Bring on that falling-leaves-smoky-air thing.
#46 A good shower is fantastic.
#47 Me likey dark hair and dark eyes.
#48 I like what you can /do/ with technology rather than the technology itself. So there.
#49 I like good clothes.
#50 When I was younger I had a fairly bad stutter. It comes back very occassionally.
#51 I really don't like getting stressed unless I've made the stress for myself.
#52 I don't believe in the "God", but I know there's something I feel (heart) that I don't understand (head).
#53 Sometimes I get the feeling I know what's going to happen before it has.
#54 I've broken a bone in my arm. Never want to again.
#55 Innuendo makes me laugh.
#56 As do Paul Merton, Eddie Izzard, and Graham Norton, and the guys that wrote Buffy.
#57 I don't like being British.
#58 The political system bores me.
#59 I'd call myself much more left wing than right.
#60 I miss my grandmother, although I've never admitted it.
#61 Two years ago, one of my friends-of-a-friend from home died. I didn't know what to do.
#62 My friends mean everything to me.
#63 I have a strong tendency to forget about important things.
#64 I love metaphor and allusion in fiction.
#65 I like it when you completely connect, emotionally and mentally, with someone else.
#66 If I could change one physical attribute of myself? my inability to do stuff with my hair.
#67 If I could change one emotional attribute of myself: my jealousy.
#68 People who deny the existence of a community are wrong. They make it themselves.
#69 When I was younger, my legs used to ache when it was about to rain.
#70 I would be lost without my phone.
#71 My surname is Elton. Amusingly.
#72 I like milk, hot chocolate, and Baileys. And tea/coffee.
#73 When I was small, a girl over the road had a fit and had to be put in our bath.
#74 I was eating black cherry yogurt at the time.
#75 I have an extremely strong photographic memory but can't remember numbers or sequences.
#76 Having such a strong memory gets annoying. I can't forget much.
#77 I used to play piano: I got to Grade 8, which was pretty cool.
#78 I played in a band; we went on a tour to Prague.
#79 I first got drunk when I was 14.
#80 I first "smoked" when I was 16.
#81 I really like the moon; it's kinda reassuring to think it's been here waaay before we were.
#82 Dogs kinda scare me. I guess I'm a cat person.
#83 I think I'm a fairly addicted-y person. Tea, coffee, friends, things like that...
#84 I've held down exactly one permanent non-selfemployed job so far.
#85 Smugness and arrogance fuck me off.
#86 I love, looove graphic design.
#87 When I die, I want to have made other people happy. And have been cool.
#88 I always had very little idea of how other people saw me.
#89 My self-confidence is only growing lately.
#90 I leave everything, /everything/, until the very last minute. It seems to be the only way I work.
#91 I guess a strong part of me seeks attention. I have to stay in touch with people all the time.
#92 Sometimes I need to go off to be myself. I just like to be able to choose when.
#93 I don't mind manual labour. It makes time go quickly, if nothing else.
#94 I love photos, CD packaging, and film credits.
#95 A lot of traditional art doesn't excite me, however.
#96 The world'd be so much less good without music.
#97 I understand why people want to be vegetarian. I like meat too much.
#98 Money scares me.
#99 I'm not nearly interesting to have a proper 100 things about me.
#100 There's so much I want to do before I die. I only realised that recently.
