16 Random Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me

Sharing is caring!

Hello hello!!
In attempts to have you guys get to know me a little better, I have decided to start writing shorter posts, more personal posts here and there. So what better way to get to know me than with a lil ‘random things about me’!
The main purpose for starting this blog was to share my journey – as I’m sure you could probably guess from the name- yet, I’m starting to realise that the blog is becoming less and less about me.
In fact, I have recently felt such a disconnect with blogging anything entirely, so it’s time to change that! It’s time for me to connect with everyone properly and let you know who I am.

So let’s start with something simple, here are 16 completely and totally random things you probably didn’t know about me:

16 random things you probably didn’t know about me

1. I am an extreme over thinker. If we had a conversation in the last few days, chances are… I’m still thinking about it today.
   
2. I have been playing the violin for 17 years. Yes that’s right, 17 whole years!
   
3. I am self taught in Japanese… even though I’m still pretty bad at it *cries*
   
4. I am half Nigerian and half Jamaican. Aka; regularly uncertain as to whether I should tick Black British Caribbean or Black British African… when the form says I can only tick ONE!
   
5. I can’t stand the taste of honey, I can just about use it to cook- I don’t know why it’s so disgusting to me.
   
6. I was a big Filthy Frank/ Pink guy fan a long long loooooong time ago.
   
7. I have recently rekindled my love for Kpop and frequently learn new dance routines. Keep an eye out, I may just post one soon!
   
8. I have one tattoo on my wrist and 9 piercings.
   
9. I have always wanted to be a YouTuber or some other sort of content creator. Back when I was in school I used to create stop motion music videos. Imagine a poorly edited video of me lip-syncing the words to We R Who We R By Ke$ha…just don’t ask to see it- not gonna HAPPEN!
   
10. I was pregnant during my 2nd and 3rd years of uni and even had to do a few of my violin performance exams whilst sitting down!
    
11. I used to be obsessed with the game OSU and still play it occasionally. I once downloaded it onto every Sixth-form computer that I used and played it at any chance. Most people called me a nerd, I called it ‘using my time efficiently’ haha!
    
    
    Check out a video of me playing!
    

12. I always do my own hair, I’m too scared to let anyone else do it for me.
    
13. My guilty pleasure is watching Hollyoaks whilst I cook.
    
14. I’m not the biggest fan of chocolate flavoured things. I’d take strawberry or vanilla over chocolate any day of the week!
    
15. I love to sing but I’m too shy to sing in-front of anyone other than my daughter. My dream is to produce and sing my own song one day.
    
16. Most kids want normal high paying jobs when they’re younger- doctors, nurses, engineers…but not me! I’ve always found myself pretty hilarious and I wanted to be a comedian back in Primary school.
