yada yada yada 25 things. Time wasting. Meh

1.I have a South London accent despite the fact that until September I had never lived here. Blame my Dad.
2.I was a Liverpool fan who went to watch Brighton because they were local until Brighton drew Liverpool in the cup in 91. I went and saw the light. Many years of misery have followed and I don't regret any of them.
3.I am secretary of a Sunday league football team. Nobody really appreciates how much work this involves but I love it anyway.
4.I only seem to remember the stupid and horrible things I do, never the good. This always makes me feel horrible about myself.
5.I thought I could do with out a significant other until last summer. My opinion on the matter has been modified somewhat since.
6.I am a huge vinyl junkie. I went through a stage of buying records on both CD and vinyl. I still think vinyl sounds better and I miss my stereo intensely whilst I am at university.
7.Following on from that anyone who tells me that you don't lose anything sound wise by listening to music solely on iPods/PCs/whatever loses an awful lot of respect as far as I am concerned. I tend to assume they have never heard a decent stereo. If they have I then decide they don't really like music.
8.I genuinely love Britpop. I may be the only person left who does.
9.I love reading. I will read forever if you let me.
10.I am introverted according to http://giftedkids.about.com/od/glossary/g/introvert.htm I like people but being with them does tire me out and eventually I need to retire with a book.
11.Starting the Sunday team was the best thing I ever did. Before that I never believed in myself at all. Since I've travelled all over the country seeing bands and meeting amazing people, gone back to college and made it to university.
12.If you saw my grades at GCSE you would never have believed I wouldn't have been in university by age 18. Going that way was too easy.
13.I hate food that looks gross. It really is the thing that puts me off food the most. Once I understand what's in it I'll eat anything. Making me understand isn't always that easy mind.
14.Except I wont eat Chinese. I think there's a really basic ingredient in all Chinese dishes that does something to my stomach. Anything East of India tends to have the same affect.
15.I had really short hair from age 13 to about 22. I mean skinhead short. I looked completely thuggish.
16.I hate my hair still. It's too thick and takes forever to sort out.
17.I'm not a massive clothes shopper (more so recently but still not massive) but I am addicted to trainers. You will often see me with trainers that cost more then everything else I am wearing put together.
18.My Grandad is my hero. The worst thing that has ever happened to me was not being allowed to see him when he was sick just before he passed away. I understand why he didn't want to see his grand kids now I know how sick he was but it really hurt me bad when I was 12.
19.I am the worst person in the world with a cold but other then that I am really, really lucky with illness.
20.I can really be picky about where I drink. Some of you will know what an arse I can be if you make me drink somewhere naming no Ben Crouches that I don't like.
21.I am fascinated by war. People tend to think this means you are really keen on the idea but the more you understand it the more you don't want it to happen.
22.I am commitedly non-religious. My best friend is a fairly evangelical (not in a back arse creationist sense) Christian. We have the best arguments.
23.I genuinely think I grew up in the best place in the world to grow up. Beach, culture, bars, fun, loads of green space, everything a young person could ask for.
24.I love big cities but they drive me crazy.
25.I am really, really bad at expressing myself. I don't even really want to a lot of the time. I can talk about anything apart from me.
