Who Am I?

So I thought that considering this is a new blog and all, I'd do a little getting to know me kind of post. I found this one all over the internet and it reminded me of the bulletins we used to post on Myspace. Anyone remember those? Anyway, here goes...


Vital Statistics:
Me: Anna
Nicknames: My mum used to call me Anna Piana when I was a kid. I got nicknamed Annabell by my friends as a teenager and currently I don't really have any nicknames, unless you include the fact that my other half occasionally calls me "boobs" lol.
Birthday: 10th April
Place of Birth: Birkenhead
Zodiac Sign: Aries

Appearance:
Hair Colour: Currently a faded / grown out plum colour but I'm naturally a redhead.
Hair Length: Sort of below shoulder length
Eye colour: Blue
Best Feature: Hah! I'm far too self-conscious to have a "best" feature.
Height: a miniature 5 foot.
Braces?: Nope but I'm on the waiting list for corrective jaw surgery so I should be a brace face within the next year.
Glasses?: Yep.
Piercing: three piercings in left ear, four in the right (two in lobe, two in cartilage). I also used to have my nose and tongue pierced but they're both closed over now.
Tattoos: A Phoenix on my right forearm with the words "Luctor et emergo" underneath, which is Latin for "struggle and emerge".
Righty or Lefty: Right

Your 'Firsts':
First best friend: A girl I was at Primary School. We lost touch in High School but we still speak occasionally on facebook.
First Award: Probably some crummy award in Primary School. There was a little plaque thing that someone would be awarded each half term but I can't remember what for.

Wanting: chocolate. Always chocolate.

Future:
Want Children?: I'd love them
Want to be Married: a piece of paper declaring my level of commitment to somebody isn't all that important to me.
Careers in Mind: I'd love to make a living as an author.
Where do you want to live?: Here is just fine but I'd quite like to move to the country.

Have you ever:
Kissed a Stranger: Haven't we all?
Had Alcohol: Of course.
Smoked: Only the occasional social cigarette as a teenager.
Ran Away From Home: I tried many times as a child lol
Broken a bone: I don't think so. Although I did do something nasty to a finger once but never bothered getting it checked out.
Got an X-ray: Yeah. I've been in A&E several times and each time, my white cell count is high so they do a chest xray to make sure you don't have anything dodgy going on with your lungs.
Broken Someone's Heart: I hope not.
Broke Up With Someone: Never
Cried When Someone Died: Of course.
Cried At School: Probably. I cry all the time.

Do You Believe In:
God: Sometimes I wish I did but sadly I don't
Miracles: I'm deferring judgement on that one until I've seen definitive evidence of a miracle.
Love At First sight: I'm a romantic at heart so yeah, why not.
Ghosts: I don't really know about this one..
Aliens: Surely it's a little narcissistic to believe that we are the only life form out there in that great vast space. 
Soul Mates: Yeah.
Heaven: No
Hell: No
Kissing on The First Date: I don;t have a problem with that.
Yourself: I struggle to believe in myself. It's one of the many things I need to work on.

Anyway, I hope this helped you get to know me a little better. If you're reading this then consider yourself tagged because I'd love to read other peoples answers to these questions.

Hey there!

Hello and welcome to my shiny new blog. My name is Anna and until recently, I used to write the blog The Sum of Her Parts. Maybe I'm just a little fickle when it comes to blogs (I think this might be my fourth blog in the past five years!) but that old blog has become a little tired and stale now and I feel like it's time for a fresh start.

I am thinking though that it might be kind of cool to transfer some of my old posts to this new blog, just because, well, some of them were okay and I'm kinda sentimental.

Anyways, this is just a little note to say hang in there while I get this page set up. Hopefully I'll see some familiar faces around here and if not, well it's always nice to meet new people too.

I hope you're all enjoying this lovely sunny Monday morning :)

Anna
