Seven months...

...and counting since my last post!

Ah damn!

I need to get back on this thing as I really like blogging and just putting my random crazy thoughts out there. I came across this 30 day blog challenge which I think should get me started but let's see how it goes:

DAY ONE: A Recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

Here's one of me last month with my fabulous cousin Sani and his equally fabulous partner Peter!



...and 15 facts huh? A'ight... prepare to be bored!! Actually, I'm gonna cheat on this one because I've done this before and it's 25 facts (ooh fun!) so yes, be bored... be bored:


1. I was born in Sheffield, UK and have a British passport and as much as I love it... it does not mean I'm English.... hmph!

2. I used to have unexplained blackouts when I was a child and took pills 3X a day for 4 years. It explains why I'm a bit looney. (Hmmm to this day I don't know what condition I had... oops!)

3. I've lived in England, Fiji, France, Samoa, Switzerland and the US.

4. I once folded in half the front wheel of my best friend's bike in Fiji when I lost control of the bike as it went down her HILL of a driveway and crashed it on the curb next to a......... STOP sign.

5. My dream destination is Mongolia!

6. When I cheer at a rugby match, I've been told by the players that they can hear my shouting during the scrums, rucks and mauls. Yes, I'm THAT loud!

7. When I was a teen, I would punch people... usually for disrespecting anything and anyone that meant something to me. Don't worry, I'm a total pacifist now! (unless you disrespect me...................) :P

8. I don't like beer and can barely tolerate the taste of wine but I know nearly every cocktail that exists! *ching ching* UPDATE: I'm off the alcohol for now and trying my hand at being a teetotaler!!

9. Due to No. 2, I nearly drowned when I was 7 and they had to resuscitate me and do the whole ER thing...

10. My first name has 21 letters in full.

11. My dad traveled to 51 countries... I hope to beat that! Upon last count, I was at 32...!

12. When I was 14 years old, I tried saddling a *cough* mule, but ended up on the ground on the other side with my foot still stuck in the stirrup. I overdid it... as I was trying be as cool as Clint Eastwood in the movies, and instead got a bemused mule staring down at me.

13. I like to swear in Fijian for some reason but if I start swearing in Samoan...that means No. 7 might happen to you. But in general, I don't swear. I swear!

14. I have 6 piercings. Thinking of a 7th!

15. I have 2 sisters. 5 and 10 years younger. (Talk about family planning right there!)

16. I've read Lord of the Rings 11 times

17. I'm addicted to Google Reader, FB, bebo and *mutters* Brangelina.

18. This year I want to try at least one or all of these - bungeejumping, skydiving or kayaking!

19. I LOOOVE to dance and at clubs, I never back down from a faceoff... even if I suck...

20. Gosh, I can't think of any more random things about myself... so I'll just stop here... who says I have to follow the rules eh?

21. Ok ok... umm I used to conduct church choirs in Samoa.

22. I've been maid of honour 6 times.

23. I think, and analyze everything and anything WAY TOO MUCH!

24. ... but still... I am in love with... LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25. The love of my life is my 18month old nephew Faitala!!!!
