100 Things About Me - Day 1

10 Random Things You Probably Do Not Know About Me
(Unless we're besties IRL)

1. My favourite thing to read is high fantasy/ epic fantasy. Things like the Wheel of Time series, or the Sword of Truth novels. Plus I have a small addiction to Arthurian fiction.
2. I wore orthodontics for 4 years. Including sleeping with that god-awful headgear thing to fix my overbite. Worth every moment of pain. (See smile above!)
3. In the 10 years I've been buying/wearing makeup, I've never owned non-waterproof mascara.
4. I started ballet when I was 8 and only stopped when I moved to Stellenbosch for varsity. I was mediocre, but it was fun. Especially pointe shoes!
5. When I'm sick, pretty much all I eat is toast with butter and Bovril.
6. After several years of heavy usage/addiction, I quit drinking coffee this month! (Well, down 1 cup every week or two when I'm at my parents...)
7. My one eye/ear is higher than on the other side. This makes finding a good-fitting pair of glasses a nightmare.
8. I've never spent more than R700 on a single item of clothing, or more than R450 on a pair of shoes. 
9. I do not leave the house without eyeliner. Ever. Not even to go jogging or to quickly pop down to the store to get milk. No.
10. Listening to the rain falling makes me happy.
