Thirty interesting facts about myself?

that is a lot. I don't know if I'm interesting enough to have thirty. we'll see if they get more obscure towards the end...!

1. I almost have two degrees
2. I have been travelling with friends once
3. I have two tattoos
4. I have 9 piercings 
5. I have one sister, a brother-in-law and two step sisters
6. I have one niece 
7. I'm lucky to still have grandparents; both of dads parents and grandma on mums side
8. I like lots of teas, but not chai (same goes for coffee)
9. I'm yet to read all of the Harry Potters but I am on 5/7 so I might get it done over summer
10. I'm a cat lady, but I'm slowly coming round to dogs recently
11. My hair is now so long I always manage to dip it in my tea (literally just happen)
12. I would rather do other people's hair than make up - I like to try new things out and it's so much easier on others
13. My favourite number is 18 
14. I have really good, strong, nicely shaped nails - I'm very lucky
15. I had braces for around 3 years
16. I still have to wear retainers every night because I clench my teeth and it leads to tension headaches
17. I've only ever worn strapless dresses to fancy events - I think I need to branch out
18. Song lyrics just stick in my head, even if I don't like the song
19. My boss and I actually play this game where I have to tell her what the song is before it's even got into it, I've only failed once ;)
20. I have my grade 5 in musical theatre
21. I also used to play the saxophone
22. I have to wear glasses for long-distance viewing, and I have to have prism lenses because my eyes cross :(
23. If I could afford it, I'd have lots of nice dress and only wear them every day (not anything else like jeans)
24. I thought I could, but I cannot live without chocolate. Giving it up for lent was the hardest thing in the world
25. I'm not even half way through Michael's first deployment which is a thoroughly depressing fact.
26. I always think I'm not cool enough to pull off a certain new trend (hair ties, flatforms etc) and then I join the part super late and decide I want to wear it regardless.
27. I don't have a problem with eating out of date food (if it smells/looks okay and it's not a ridiculous amount of time after the date)
28. My eye colour is hazel, and whilst I feel super special having rare green eyes, I've always wanted blue
29. I try not to take tablets e.g. painkillers unless I really really have to, and the only tablet I take willingly is my migraine medication.
30. I've had penpals from all over the place; Russia, France, Germany and places in England. 

So there you have it, I did make it to thirty! Must admit that I struggled from 26 onwards though haha, hopefully you can't tell. Looking forward to reading everyone else's today!
