My tagger:

amazing hip - the most amazing, up-beat, inspiring person I know in the universe.  You can't help but be happy around him.

 

Random facts about me:

  1. When I was 20 I booked myself into rehab to get away from an abusive relationship.  The relationship wasn't the reason I gave for booking myself into rehab.
  2. When I was 23 I fell pregnant and found out that I can never have kids.  Essentially my body poisons itself when I fall pregnant and the doctors figure I have a 5% of carrying full-term without dying.
  3. I moved from South Africa to the UK in 2004 and have never looked back.  I can't stand being in SA for more than 2 weeks at a time now - after that amount of time the violence I read about in the papers and hear about on the news becomes too much for me.  The common disrespect that most people in South Africa seems to have for each other gets to me and I want to scream out at them that there are bigger issues than the ones they face every day.
  4. I wanted to study medicine (a 7 year course)after school until the morning that I stood in a queue to register for the course and realised that the IT course was only 3 years and looked a lot more fun than blood and guts.  So I switched queues.
  5. If I could go back in time I'd go to when I was 16 years old and tell myself to tell my parents that I wanted to stay at boarding school until the end of my school career.  Then I'd go tell my parents to listen to my 16-year old self and save myself a lot of heartache.
