Last week I saw Ez from Creature Comforts mentioned on her Twitter about a 'Thing's I'm afraid to tell you' blog challenge inspired by Jess from Make Under my Life's post of the same title.
So here are a few silly and some serious things that I'm afraid to tell you:
~ If I didn't dye my hair, it would be very grey. I like it dark though, so it stays dark. But I do hate when my roots start to show. Also why people want to dye their hair grey is beyond me... ~
~ Sometimes I think about taking on sponsors again so I could buy a really expensive handbag, but usually I change my mind quickly back again. Hangbags (or shoes) are not a good reason to have sponsors really. Also, what if no one took me up on it haha, that would be awkward. ~
~ I hate the TV show Friends ~ (you'll be amazed by how many people get upset about that) (really, though, I hate it!)
~ Sometimes I wonder if you are just being nice and really my photos aren't that great, I'm not really very adventurous with them, I tend to play it safe and sometimes I worry that makes them boring (and that in turn I am boring.) ~
~ I still feel like this a lot of the time when it comes to blogging, apart from 800 is actually a lot scarier! I read through your comments on that post often which helps, you are all incredibly amazing btw. ~
~ I'm irrationally terrified of The Hulk, but I love Mark Ruffalo - I still haven't figured out how I feel about this
(We still haven't seen the Avengers though, maybe I'll figure it out after that. 2019 update - we saw Avengers, I freaked out in the cinema when he threw Loki around. I stil love Mark Ruffalo) ~
~ I often wonder how people manage to stay so in control, be so reserved etc. I always feel like my emotions are flying apart - I get angry quickly, little things bother me (like bad manners), I sob at movies (proper ugly crying and for ages too - I cried for hours after watching The Brothers Bloom) but at the same time, things make me laugh easily, I'm quick to smile and I love completely. So I think there's balance... just. ~
~ I'm heartbroken about my little LC-A not working properly, more than I probably should be about a camera. ~
So there we go. I'm an emotional wreck, skeptical of my own abilities and I have complicated feelings about The Hulk. (Also, I don't get the hype about Zooey Deschanel... I might as well throw that out there too.) And I perhaps use brackets and exclamation points in blog posts too much.
I think Ez's post will be up a lot later than mine (time differences and all that) but do check out her blog - there will also be some other amazing bloggers taking part in this challenge and I personally can't wait to see what everyone has written.
