41 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Today I thought I would share 41 fun/unknown/personal facts you didn’t know about me!

1. I make up songs and special “dances” for my dogs Mac and Rollo I also had one for my old faithful Milly. One goes like this (sing in high pitched voice) Milly is a Milly Milly mol, Milly Milly mol, Milly, Milly mol). What’s worse, one time I sang it on a radio. Yup true story.
2. I usually prefer the company of a good book over interactions with people.
3. I correct people’s grammar in my head.

5. I used to get “D”’s in school reports for physical education.
6. I read the back of a book in a bookshop one day, didn’t agree with what I read, so hunted up the author, asked her to be my supervisor in an honours thesis and set out to disprove what she had written. I was wrong (sexual politics – Melbourne University).
