A meeeeeme. More about me. Tagged first by [livejournal.com profile] inu_chan and then by [livejournal.com profile] schiarire. I did this way back when! But with different facts.


1. I am almost always tired. Sometimes, I am more tired than others. I'm not tired at the moment, but that's probably because I'm having a hypo.

2. I can't tell the difference between thinking I'm sick, being mildly sick and being really horribly sick, because I've trained my body to ignore it. When I was diagnosed, they asked me why hadn't I come earlier, because I must have been feeling really unwell for a long time; I HAD been feeling unwell, but I didn't know how unwell, and I thought maybe I'd been imagining it.

3. I trained myself to ignore feeling ill because I was a hypochondriac as a child and I hated myself for it as I got older.

4. I am inherently paranoid. I suspect people on the street might try to attack me, and I often spazz out and think that everyone secretly hates me.

5. I sabotage myself, health-wise. For example, sometimes when I have a hypo I can be reluctant to fix it. I don't just do this with my diabetes, but it's a good illustration.

6. Sometimes I get confused and accidentally say things in Japanese instead of English.

7. I'm mildly dyslexic. I can't tell the difference between east and west without visualising the map of Australia and figuring out where Western Australia is, and often I mix things around when writing or reading. I keep writing god instead of dog. And in a tutorial the other day, I read out seigaku instead of gakusei without realising I'd done it. XD

8. My medic alert bracelet arrived in the mail today. It is too big, and makes me feel like a domestic animal.

9. I have unfortunate saving habits. I save a large amount of money, and then I SPEND a large amount of money. This is often on electronics. Recently it has also been on manga.

10. I've been obsessed with computers all my life. When I was a child, I would often watch my brother play computer games and then play them after, copying what he did. It used to drive him BONKERS.

11. I was a bully target all my childhood. By the end of high school, most people were quite nice to me; at uni, making friends hasn't been a problem at all.

12. I have always always been weird. This probably accounts for the above.

13. I have also always been lazy. My reports always used to say "does not work up to her full potential", even when I topped the class.

14. I am a teacher's pet. It is an innate part of my personality. It's not something I do on purpose, I just tend to be quite friendly with my teachers. Nevertheless, there have been teachers I have hated.

15. I am horribly afraid of the male sex. Not as people; I find it really easy to talk to guys and be friends with them etc. However, the idea of guys and sex as relating to myself freaks the CRAP out of me, and makes my skin crawl. I only figured this out recently.

16. Despite the above, I still flirt with guys. I do it on autopilot, to everyone. I have a very whore-ish mentality, unfortunately; I need people to love me. At least it's not manipulative, I love them back. ^^;

17. I used to be really social until about halfway through year 11-- always ringing people, always wanting to go out. Because of some personal problems around then, I stopped calling people on the phone, and spent a lot of time by myself. Scarily most of this was spent studying. I've been very anti-social ever since.

18. Similarly, I used to be a lot healthier in the sense that I went outside to play all the time. I've always been a tomboy, but this used to be expressed in a much more outdoorsy way: I loved swimming, I rode my bike a lot, I climbed trees, that kind of thing. I don't actually know when or why this changed.

19. I hate conflict. I will compromise whatever I have to compromise to be forgiven, until you push me to a certain point where I will just ignore you.

20. I am very highly strung and easily stressed. I even get stressed about how many unplayed video games I have. XD


I tag... yeek, who on my flist will do this who hasn't already BEEN tagged? Uh. Anyone who wants to do it! I'll read it if you do.

There's stuff I could say, but I should be working and I'm running out of time fast.

Yeah, my mum was always really hard to persuade to let me stay off school. I practically had to be dying with the flu. XD That was part of it too, because it reached the point where I couldn't judge how sick I was; I just assumed I wasn't sick enough to stay home from school.

IT LEAVES MARKS ON MY SKIN! AGH. *irritated by the way it keeps sliding up and down*

twin souls!! ;D But in new school was or or less the same, not as bad but I think some kids are there only to be bullied XDDD But now I've grown and I don't give a shit for what other people says, only matters what I like and what I think and I keep it to myself and only share with comomn interest people, wherever they are...

Yes, some people are just made to be bully targets. Although, those people seem to function better after school.
