There has been a fun little exercise going around my Facebook friends as of late. It's called 25 Random Facts about ....... (enter your own name). Normally I don't go for many of the applications that Facebook have to offer but recently a friend of mine passed away who I didn't keep in touch with as much as I should and this sparked a real yearning to get to know people more...even the friends I think I know well. I've really enjoyed reading the random facts that people pluck from their mind that describe their life, their wishes and dreams and maybe their fears as well.
So I thought I'd carry the exercise over here in Blog land. Here are 5 random facts about me right now...and I would be REALLY happy if you could share 5 random facts about yourself in the comments.
1. I have a tan at the moment which is astounding!2. My all time favourite book is Persuasion - Jane Austen
3. I really love sweet chilli phillie cream cheese and rice crackers
4. I wish I were more adventurous
5. I have the entire 6 series of Northern Exposure on dvd.
Oh and I'll cheat and add a number 6 ...I just listed this new necklace on Etsy :)
Please share 5 random facts about yourself! I love a good read!
