Getting to know Shoe-Aholic Enid

Hello everyone! I thought I'd do something different this Friday. Let’s face it my blog is not the most popular on the web. So most of you probably didn’t miss my absence but if you’re one of the three that did, let me make it up to you. The reason for my absence was first plain old laziness to think of ideas, secondly because of some major deadlines. I seem to have gained a few new readers of late, I thought I'd join everyone and their dog and a list of things about me. Not very original I know, but at least you will get to know me a little better. I hope you learn something new and exciting about me!

♥ 25 facts Shoe-Aholic♥

 

1. I grew up in the small wine lands farm of Wellington, I have always loved it and that’s where my love for exploring other small towns started.
2. I am ridiculously skilled at 30 Seconds.
3. I have a big fat obsession with shoes, its a serious condition, don't judge but please ask my size and give me shoes for my birthday.
4. I played piano till the age of 16 and to this day I still regret not continuing with it.
5. I was a very awkward teenager, pimples, braces and I was scrawny as hell, didn't attract much attention so I focused on what I was good at - I just happened to be one of the fasters sprinters in SA at one point - Yes I'm bragging (hard to believe now though hehe)
6. I am crazy obsessed with the TV show CSI - I have not missed an episode of any of them to date and I even have the games.
7. I lived in Dubai for 3 years, it was an awesome experience but I'm happy to be home.
8. I'm freakishly afraid of the dentist, so much so that I get lock jaw when I go for dental work and check ups.
9. I love love love classical music - I can listen to it for days - It soothes the soul.
10. My mom and my little sister will always be two of my best friends. They both immensely strong women and I wouldn't be half the person I am today without them.
11. I'm a closet karaoke superstar and my dogs really love my singing, they never tell me I sound awful and I'm glad they cannot speak.
12. My sister claims I have OCD as I'm always arranging something.
13. I studied IT programming and Web design (yes I'm a smarty pants) and never worked more then 3 months in the industry but I do put it to good use quite often.
14. I love mysteries of the unexplained and true crime stories. I can read some of them over and over and I'm always on the hunt for new things that surface.
15. All animation movies are my favourite I cannot decide - DON'T make me decide.
16. I don't eat butter - weird I know!
17. This one is not so much about me, but I do believe I'm dating the sexiest guy on the planet - Don't hate, we've been together almost 4 years.
18. I am a self confessed junk gypsy and love DIY projects and get my cheap thrills from 2nd hand shops.
19. Anyone who knows me know my love for animals, I rescue them, bring strays home, volunteer at shelters and can become very violent when I see someone hurt a furbaby.
20. I live by the quotes: "Life is to short to drink cheap wine" and "Life is to short, buy they shoes"
21. My feet are always freezing cold, I have been kicked out of beds and from a few couches multiple times when I try and sneak my feet under my boyfriend, family and friends. Oh yeah, everyone is a potential footy warmer - Even the dogs.
22. I have a scar on my upper lip, got it when I was 6 (it was one of those: "I told you not to play there" situations), I was offered plastic surgery to have it fixed when I was older, everyone said no, they have always known me with it, it is part of me.
23. When I grew up I wanted to be a veterinarian to help animals. $%&# YOU math and science you ruined my dream.
24. I have a flair for interior design (or so I heard) and I have quite a good eye. I'm also an avid collector of Tuis Magazine.
25. I am impossibly good with a bow and arrow - don't cross me, I will turn you into a sport and hunt you down! (I am actually a very sweet person) BIG SMILE
