So you start;
"Hi I'm ... And what's your name? Oh really? I used to have a guinea pig with the same name...so..."
Now what?
I can see this conversation happening to me very often over the next few weeks as I move on to uni. So, I'd better have something to say.
This is a sneaky little preview of some of the conversational gems I'll probably get round to using within the first few days. I guess I'd say you're lucky, but if you read most of these, I would quickly withdraw that statement.
Anyhow, these are just a few things you ought to know about me :)
Number one: I always thought I had straight hair until I was 16 when I realised it was curly
Number two: I hate the theme song of the Titanic which is why I will not watch the film
Number three: the only vehicle I ever want to drive is a moped even though I love classic cars because owning a car is too much responsibility for me
Number four: I have a MASSIVE obsession with Holby City (a UK medical drama)
Number five: I love the smell of petrol
Number six: my favourite chocolate bar is Crunchie
Number seven: when I was 12, despite not being able to sing, I entered a school singing competition with three of my friends and was so embarrassed that I lip synced the words even when it was my solo

Number ten: I've said 'I love you' more times to my dog than my parents (sorry, guys)
Number eleven: I used to play the violin
Number twelve: I would secretly love to become a police women but I know I wouldn't get the job because I'm not scary enough and would probably be hiding round the block if I had to stop anything involving large groups of teenagers

Number fourteen: I could eat prawn sandwiches and pizza for the rest of time

Number twenty: I have written a novel called The Warden based on true events of patient abuse in hospital

Number twenty two: my dad says I'm an excellent con artist (which is true) - I once bought 2 dog bowls and a month later had convinced my dad to buy us a dog
Number twenty three: I love car journeys (I could sit in a car for a whole year and never get bored)
Number twenty four: I'd like to have 8 children when I'm older because I think big families are happy families ever since I watched Cheaper by the Dozen
Number twenty five: I'm actually not too bad at spontaneous rapping
Number twenty six: I LOVE baking
Number twenty seven: I made myself hate clothes shopping when I was little because I wanted to be a zookeeper and thought that people who work in zoos don't go shopping
Number twenty eight: my favourite animals are orang-utans
Number twenty nine: when I was 2, my mum and grandma lost me in Heathrow airport and only found me because I had wandered into another plane (just about as daring as I've ever been!)

Number thirty seven: I hate exercise
Number thirty eight: the only time I have been severely told off by a teacher was in year 2 when I was talking at the back of the class about octopuses
Number thirty nine: I never liked the fact that I could read well in junior school because I was never picked to leave the class and read with the support teacher
Number forty: after spending 2 weeks in the Indian Himilaya last summer, I came home adamant that I would convert to become Buddhist
Number forty one: I'm very clumsy, once pulling the door shut by the inside so that I shut my fingers with the door in a kind of finger sandwich (just stupid!) I only realised what had happened when I found that I couldn't move because I seemed to be stuck to door (as unreal as it sounds, yes, this can happen)
Number forty two: when I walk into a book shop I always have to go out again and walk back in because I get so excited I feel sick (even now and I'm 18)
Number forty three: my favourite shop in the world is The Works in the UK (a discount book shop)
Number forty four: I've only ever been unconscious once when I tripped over my own shoe and smacked my head on the pavement in America and it was for about 5 seconds (typical me!)
Number forty five: one of my favourite books is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Number forty six: I have two middle names which makes my entire name 23 letters long
Number forty seven: I used to go to my friend house when I was in reception class and eat strawberry lip gloss with her from a small container in her garage (I couldn't help it!)
Number forty eight: I used to love the feeling of not being able to breathe and would constantly hold my breath until I felt like I was going to fall into myself (and I know that's not healthy!)
Number forty nine: when I was in junior school my favourite after school snack was a slice of white bread smothered with mayonnaise and dried garlic
Number fifty: I'm an Aries
So that's me and now you know! Weird? Maybe. Different? Definitely!
