I've seen the '30 Things About Me' post on a few blogs, most recently on one of my new favourite blogs Bow Ties Are Cool, and I thought I'd do my own for you! So, here we go...
1| I was born in Bunbury, Western Australia, and I lived there until I was 17.
2| Since I moved up to Perth I've lived in four different houses in six years.
3| The house I live in currently was bought by my dad just after he finished uni, then his parents lived in it, and now I live in it. I love living in a house with so much family history and I never want to move!
4| My parents are both dentists. And no, I can't tell you what's wrong with your teeth.
5| I have one younger sister. I was a pretty rotten sister when we were growing up but I think I'm okay now!
6| I never wagged school. It never even occurred to me to do so!
7| I have one tattoo - a heart just under my elbow on my forearm. I'm planning my second one and I don't want to say much but it is Johnny Cash themed!
8| I collect records, weird salt and pepper shakers, and novelty jumpers (sweaters to my American friends).
9| I did an internship at Xpress Magazine and it was basically the best time of my life.
10| About two years ago I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and while it's a lot better now, I still have some pretty gross-feeling weeks.
11| I've been with my boyfriend Aidan for a little over a year and a half. I had a huge crush on him all through uni but we didn't talk until I asked him to come to a movie review with me two years after uni finished!
12| I am really good at music trivia. Whenever Spicks & Specks or RockWiz is on TV the room mysteriously empties because I take it too seriously and try to make everyone play.
13| Babies terrify me. My friend had a beautiful baby boy a while ago but I still haven't held him! They gross me out and scare me at the same time.
14| I'm a godmother to my youngest cousin Adam, who is basically the best kid ever (although he's VERY cheeky!).
15| I've dislocated both my knees - one when I smashed it into a high jump bar when I was about 10 or 11, and one when I did dancing at school in year 10 and the stupid year 11 girl "helping" out our class twisted my knee out on the barre. As soon as I put it down my kneecap rolled out to the side. They still pop out occasionally and it is THE most painful thing ever.
16| Just Like Heaven by The Cure is my favourite song.
17| As far as I know I wasn't named after anyone, but Tara is a hill in Ireland where all the kings and queens are buried (my mum's side of the family is Irish). It also means "rocky pinnacle".
18| I hate summer. Of course it has its good points but it also goes on for about three quarters of the year here in Perth.
19| I can play the ukulele.
20| I've never been overseas.
21| I can't drink champagne without getting an immediate headache. And I really dislike the taste. Blech.
22| I hate talking on the phone and I avoid it as much as possible (except to my mum, because, well, who can ignore their mum when she calls?).
23| I wear glasses for reading.
24| My favourite music to listen to is '50s rock'n'roll. Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis... I would listen to it all the time if I could!
25| I've worked in retail for six years. I'm currently a manager for one of our Pigeonhole stores, which is my first full-time job.
26| Breakfast is my favourite meal to go out for, but I almost always skip it at home! Naughty.
27| My worst habit is cracking my neck. It's so satisfying but I know the sound is so gross to other people!
28| Another bad habit I have is pulling on my eyelashes. They're very gappy and it's a bit embarrassing.
29| I don't have my driver's licence.
30| My favourite drink is Sailor Jerry's and ginger ale.
WOAH! Thanks for reading that, if you made it through the whole post. I'd love to know if you do a thirty things post - I think they're so interesting! And please keep an eye out for new blog posts, I'm really excited to get back into things again! I have my March Book Club post ready to go and a few outfit posts on the backburner, so watch out for those!
