Inside Out - Part Two

A month ago I wrote one of those 25 facts about me posts heeeeeeeeeere. Now these things are supposed to be fifty facts long but the current trend in the blogosphere is to split them into two parts rather than do all fifty at once :) so, here is the second half of the facts about me.

26. I'd like to introduce you to the Davison clan. I chose a picture where we are all dressed up nicely and not doing our usual weird thaaaang. Please meet Geoff (Padre), Debz (Madre) and Nikki. Yes me and Nikki are related, depsite us looking NOTHING alike.

27. I really love adverts. I missed them so much when I didn't have a TV during Freshers, and now with all this fastforwarding and on demand TV we miss all the good stuff. My favourite ever advert is the Barclaycard slide. I still listen to the song if I need a pick me up.

28. My eyes change colour. Sometimes they are brown and sometimes they are green. I think they change with my mood, kinda like the hulk.

29.  I think that my Dad is like Mr Bean. I can see it, Nikki can see it, Mum can see it...but he still denies it.

30. To this day, the cutest Valentine I have received was a card, pretend rose and some chocolate left in my porch at home. I hate to admit it but I still have the rose!  You know who you are :)

31. I never really understood the fascination with Prom but I ended up going anyway. I'd been to Silverstone Racetrack at the weekend with my boyfriend at the time, because he was really into cars, and got really bad sunburn. So for Prom, my sister ended up putting make-up on my back to cover up the burns.

32. I have always been really tall for a girl, I finally stopped growing at a statuesque 5ft 9 :) I used to be on the back bench of class photos and I sometimes got picked on for my height at secondary school; once I was called a banana? Strangely enough my housemates are both taller than me, I like to say we live in York's next top model house haha.

33. I used to be really quiet and shy. My Mum used to tell me off for being rude when her friends would talk to me in the street. I'm not sure what happened but now I talk too much and far too quickly.

34. I am doing the MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) specialism at Uni even though I don't speak another language well at ALL. I did get a free trip to Paris though!

35. If I really need a good cry, I will either watch 'The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants' or I'll listen to 'If You Leave' by Nada Surf.

36. I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Katy Perry. She is just amazing isn't she?

37. I have done the whole long-distance relationship thing. My ex-boyfriend went to Uni in Southampton so we had to do a 5 hour train journey across the country to see each other. Going to Uni really magnified our differences and after 2 years we decided we had just become friends :) It's a good job really, I don't know how he handles the party life! They say Northerners are hard, I didn't even make it out on the Southampton Carnage!

38. I used to be quite stroppy with my family sometimes. We now look back at old photos and there will always be someone that says "oh remember this day, you know, when Jenny had a strop."

39. I was a Brownie and I loved it. I was the Sixer of the gnomes and everyone wanted to be in my six ;) I still know my Brownie Guide promise and law.

40. Last week I was driving to placement and the weather lady on the radio said there was fog on the Tyne. The first thing I did when I got to school was text my Dad really excitedly about singing The Fog on the Tyne to myself. I fully blame my Father for how damaged me and my sister are.

41. I describe myself as musically impaired because I can't sing or play instruments AT ALL. I am also rubbish at remembering lyrics and which band sings what.

42. I have been told on a few occasions that I look like Marissa from the OC. This Summer one of the French group leaders said it and a guy I used to fancy at school nicknamed me Marissa when I was in year eleven :P I personally don't see it but hey I'm not complaining.

43. When I was at school and sixth form I used to work on the checkouts in Iceland. I used to get chatted up by old guys and chavs all the time but the weirdest thing I ever received was a Christmas card. Inside the card, it read; Dear Jenny, you served me last Saturday. I paid using £20 worth of love to shop vouchers. I would like to meet you and get to know you better. Here is my email/phone/fax/etc, love from Bal. To this day I still don't know who Bal is.

44. I wasn't a bridesmaid until I was fourteen and I haven't been one since.

45. As a teenager I was in love with Dougie from Mcfly. I used to daydream about becoming a Journalist, interviewing him and us falling madly in love. When I split up with my first ever boyfriend, I thought that Mcfly had written 'I'll be Okay' just for me and I listened to it on repeat.

46. I hate modern music, dubstep just gives me headache. I'm really sad and still listen to bands everyone else is bored of; Stereophonics, Blink 182, RHCP, Snow Patrol, Foo Fighters, etc.

47. I have to really like a TV series for me to consider buying it on DVD. My TV series collection includes Friends, Big Bang Theory, New Girl, The OC and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


48. I met one of my favourite people Dalinder Sall when we both got sent to another school to do Geography A level. We bonded over being complete loners and total weirdos. We spend weeks and weeks apart while we are at Uni but we then sit for HOURS and catch up when we see each other.

49. I was once a really bad friend and introduced her to Sambuca shots shortly after her 18th birthday. I also didn't stop her buying a 90% rum cocktail when she was in York, then watched her puke it up for the entire next day....

50. On Friday night I donated £10 to Comic Relief by accident instead of a pound. I have very mixed emotions towards this mistake.
