Rules

Write 10 facts about yourself

Pass the award on to ten bloggers

1. My favourite colour is blue (in case you hadn't noticed!)

3. My favourite quote/saying is 'This too shall pass' (info)

4. Before I do anything in the morning, I have to make my bed. I can't stand unmade beds!

6. I can pretty much fall asleep and wake-up on demand at any time of day and in most situations! But I can never get to sleep on planes no matter how hard I try.

7. I love big dogs. German Shepherds are my favourite and I've been dreaming of getting one for years. I'll get one when I have enough time to raise her up.

8. My favourite food is sandwiches of any sort. My favourite filling is chicken and bacon mayo with lettuce.

9. I have two younger brothers. They are 12 and 18.

10. I prefer night time to day time.

Stylish Blogger Award

I have been tagged for the Stylish Blogger award by quite a few of you lovely people now so I think it's about time I posted it. It only took so long because I find it really hard to think of stuff about myself but after reading all of yours for a bit of inspiration, I managed to come up with a few things and then the facts just kept coming. I could probably write 20 facts about myself now! I also have some other awards to post, I haven't forgotten any. So if you tagged me and are still waiting to see it, don't worry, I promise they will all be up soon.

The Rules

1. Thank and link back to who gave you the award

2. Share 7 things about yourself

3. Award it to 15 recently discovered great bloggers

4. Contact these bloggers to tell them about this award

Thank you very much to Antoszewskia, Cristina, Kyouya, Madison, Carissa and Sarah for tagging me. 

Toni also tagged me for the Versatile Blogger Award which has very similar rules to this one so I'll merge the two here.

1. My head is full of useless movie trivia but I can’t remember anything I’m taught in school.

2. I’m addicted to Call of Duty. It's not just for guys. I rule at it to be honest, I beat one of my guy friends and he refuses to play with me any more for fear of losing to a girl. Man pride is stupid.

(If you think you can beat me, my PSN name is Sammersaurus)

3. I have a very obnoxious personality. I’m always right(!) and I’m not afraid to speak my mind.

4. I’ve had 15 piercings in my life time, but only 11 remain. I had my first when I was about 7 or 8 after finally convincing my mother to let me have my ears pierced. Now she rolls her eyes every time I come home with a new hole in me.

5. I can’t hold a grudge. I never stay upset about anything for too long and I can move on from bad situations really quickly.

6. My friends joke that I have OCD. I’m a neat freak and can’t stand mess and disorganisation. Proof: I requested a label maker for my birthday a few years ago.

7. My life motto is ‘You don’t ask, you don’t get’. If you want something, act on it. Don’t wait around to be offered an opportunity – make one for yourself.

Cherry On Top Award

Rules of this award are:

1. Thank the person who gave this award to you.

Thank you Kathy and Dionela

2. Copy the award and put it on your blog.

Done

3. List 3 things you love about yourself.

I always surprise myself with what I am able to do.

In University this year, I had to do a Maths and Stats module. For example - I haven't done maths since I was 16, and I had to drop it in my first year of A-Levels because it was too hard. But I managed to pull it off this year and it ended up becoming one of my favourite topics.

I'm creative.

A lot of people were shocked when they found out it was my ambition to become an Accountant. Everyone expected me to pursue Photography. To be honest, so did I until I found out I could get in to a good businees school with my qualifications in Photography, Media Studies and IT.

I'm really independent and always have been.

I try really hard never to be too dependent on anyone and I'm not afraid to do anything on my own (but I draw the line at eating in restaurants and going to the cinema). I have friends who won't do much by themselves and it really limits you in life.

4. Post a picture you love.

I took this picture as part of my work for A-Level Photography. I should've got an A, but my teacher didn't like me. ARGH.

Thanks again Kathy and Dionela. I love this award. It was fun to do and I love reading other peoples'. I feel like I know everyone that little bit better once I have seen their answers.
