Twenty-eight

1. I had a cat called Julius.
2. I don't like mushrooms.
3. I don't mind mushroom soup though. As long as there are no mushrooms in it.
4. I have the whole series of M*A*S*H on dvd.
5. Yet I still will watch it on television when it's on.
6. I love Eurovision (in case you didn't know).
7. I don't remember much from when I was 16 years old. 

8. My favourite flowers are carnations. Especially deep red ones. Even if they are considered funeral flowers here in Norway.
9. I cried buckets when I saw Hachi. Embarassingly so. Really, it was ugly! Like snot and such!!
10. I spend too much time on the internet. Even if I am on sick leave.
11. I like reading romance novels. You know the ones: boy meets girl, they fight over something silly, they make up, they live happily ever after.
12. Yet, I am reading The Gulag Archipelago by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn at the moment. Not light reading by anybody's standards.
13. I can't think of a number 13. I really can't.
14. I always try to sit on the right hand side of a plane, preferably by the window.

15. I have amazing friends and family.
16. I don't really like roses. 
17. I have close to 300 Christmas films.
18. I turned 28 in 1999. 
19. I have one little brother and one little sister.
20. I am however the smallest of the three. 
21. I have been known to become travel sick on both bus, car and boat.

22. I am a romantic at heart. Deep down.
23. I used to be so surprised when boys knew my name. Even if we had spent eight years in the same classroom!
24. My first car was a Fiat Panda. 
25. I don't really have a favourite colour. I like different colours for different things.
26. My eyes are blue. 
27. I still have a teddy bear, although it has been a few years since he last spent time in my bed.
28. This post has taken me about two hours to write. So, you had better appreciate the effort!!!

  2. What a great list! I cried like a baby at Hachi, too. It was so, so sweet and sad! I would definitely recommend it, though. Unlike you, I love mushrooms but not mushroom soup. My sister would always pick out her mushrooms and give them to me to eat!

  6. Ok, I have to see Hachi. Both you and Ginny recommend it so I better check it out.

    Curious...what is Eurovision? BTW, I love the pic of the bicycle covered with snow. :)

    1. You don't know Eurovision? The biggest music contest in the world? Watched by the whole of Europe, parts of Asia and Australia? Okay: think strange dresses (12 feet high), weird acts (bearded lady: last year's winner), silly songs and the occasional massive song (Waterloo by ABBA). And that is only a tiny part of it!!!

  8. I only read romance novels! I like a window sit but I almost always sit on isle because I don't like to bother anyone if I have to go potty. I also spend too much time on the internet. I appreciate your effort with this post!

  11. You are so funny! "I can't think of a number 13. Really I can't." Ha!

    My list took a really long time, too. Days, in fact, because it involved finding quotes and matching them with pictures and then editing them on picmonkey. I was exhausted by the end of the week!
