 11 Things About Me...

1. I am PETRIFIED of balloons, like big time. Completely irrational fear, i know, but oh my god i hate them so much.
2. My favourite colour is lime green, my bedroom is painted that colour, i love it, when im bed it feels like im submerged in a giant blob of lime jelly. 
3. I work for a company that prints and stretches photos onto custom canvases, its not the most exciting thing in the world but it pays my way and i love the people i work with, pretty much all the work i do consists of images of dead pets, babies and people getting married. oh the joys!
4. I sold my first painting when i was 16, for £100. Since then i have sold... i lost count. 
5. I am a tea freak, i drink tea constantly, (currently sipping on some green tea). No matter what the weather, i'll always have a nice hot cuppa on the go. 
6. It is my ultimate dream to go to Japan, I think i would probably die from cuteness overload and come back totally broke, but with a crap load of awesome yet totally unnecessary pieces of kawaii related junk. And that would suit me just fine.
7. My favourite band are The Beatles, their movie Help is probably one of my all time favorites, it always cheers me up.
8. I can only eat cheese if its melted. If its not melted it is NOT going in my mouth.
9. I live just on the edge of London, where the countryside starts, i live pretty much in the middle of a field but only a stones throw from London, its the perfect distance and i love it! 
10. My cat Bobksi's full name is Count Robertski Patchenkovich The Third. Thats right, the third. 
11. I have had my hair every colour of the rainbow, its currently back to my natural colour (sadly) but as soon as its in good condition im going back to silly colours!
