20 facts about me
Hey! I guess this blog post may not appeal to everyone but I saw a few people doing it and thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. It's basically just going to be random facts about myself and my life, read on at your own leisure. If you already know all of these facts about myself then you are basically me and are living a secret life in the form of another person.
1. I'm 100% obsessed with salt, anyone that knows me (even briefly) will know how much I am addicted to salt, it's pretty bad really. The amount of times people remind me of my future slow and painful death is increasing by the second. I have to have it on everything savoury and I mean, everything. One time I couldn't decide if peanut butter was sweet or savoury so I applied salt to it anyway.. tasted good to me.
2. Along with salt, I am also addicted to ice poles. It's never too cold for ice poles and I will always have some in the freezer. I could get through an infinite amount in just a day if I wanted to (and I pretty much do). Feed me ice poles and I will love you forever.
3. I have a massive love for all things radio related. My favourite station is Radio 1 which I listen to on a daily basis, I love basically every single presenter on that show but especially Nick Grimshaw. He gives me life. I hope to become a radio or television presenter in the future, hence studying Broadcast Journalism at Uni. Remember that time I won a competition to present Scott Mills' show because I knew all of the words to Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging? good times.
4. My first ever tattoo (I now have 7) was the outline of a coat hanger on the back of my neck because what else could you possibly want on you for the rest of your life at the age of 16? I'm pretty sure the man tattooing me was drunk as well.. it wouldn't surprise me as he never even asked me for any form of ID and was pissing himself laughing for a solid 3 minutes when I told him what I wanted but that may have just been because I was getting a coat hanger on the back of my neck...
5. I also got my belly pierced when I was 10 years old. No one ever believed this but it's legit. I was born in Hull (where I got it done) and on my 10th birthday my Mum agreed to let me get my belly pierced along with my cousin Tamer who was 13 at the time because "she's not a regular mom.. she's a cool mom"*. I was clearly the coolest kid in primary school, whipping my belly out on the playground.
6. As well as this, I got my ears pierced when I was just 18 months of age. This makes my Mum sound like a really irresponsible parent.. it's as cool as it sounds, I promise. Imagine baby Chlo with diamond studs in my ears. You're all jealous. So it may come as a shock when my Mum was pissed at me for coming home randomly one day after Freddy had pierced my smiley in the park. Freddy did a lot of my piercings, including my septum where I had to run through McDonalds with the blood cupped in my hand. Those were the days.
7. Funny story about my smiley piercing actually.. for those of you that are unaware, a smiley piercing is that bit of skin inside your mouth on your gums at the top of your lip. One time a homeless man came up to me ranting and raving about how he had "been through the same thing", asking me questions like "did it hurt?" and "how the hell did you do yours?", wondering what on earth he was on about, I then came to the realisation that he was pointing to a gap where his tooth had fallen out and from where the smiley piercing was placed on my tooth, believed I had also lost my tooth. Safe to say I took the piercing out after that incident.
8. I'm a vegetarian and have been for several years now (can't actually remember how many to be exact, longer than 4 though) but it's only been a few months since I stopped eating fish but I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't like animal cruelty at all and never really ate that much meat anyway so it made a lot of sense. I don't impose my views upon other people, so please don't try shove yours on me. I would love to try be Vegan but it would never last. I would probably die. It's a good job I'm no longer lactose intolerant. That was a thing once but I grew out of it.
9. I once had as many as 15 rabbits at one time. My rabbits enjoyed sex and I enjoyed rabbits. They all slowly died though because a few vicious dogs got into our back garden and ate them all... awkward. On the topic of animals eating my pets, I once had a cat called Blacky (he was black but I'm not racist, I was young okay) and he ate a couple of my hamsters. One time I even walked in on their guts all over the floor, my Mum tried telling me it was meat.. over the floor.. so that was nice. One evening when I used to speak to my Dad, we were out at some conservative club and he said "all those with a hamster, put your hand up", naturally, I shot my hand up, only for him to tell me to put my hand down. R.I.P pals.
10. I only have two pets now after having many other cats, rabbits, hamsters, goldfish etc in the past.. I now just have two cats, Harry and Smudge. I've always wanted a ferret for as long as I've known. One day. I don't care if they smell like piss. Harry is named after Harry Styles because life. Yeah, if you didn't know he's kind of a big deal and he's my ideal man. No one compares (minus Ashton Irwin but yeah). From now on I am settling for no less than either of them.. or both. Dreamy.
11. Talking about animals, I have two sisters and three brothers. Nikita, Lillie-Mai, Daniel, Anthony and my surrogate brother Edward (I wrote a post about Surrogacy if you care to read.. hehe little plug there). My big sister Nikita and I used to dress Dan up in girls clothes, tie him to the safety gate and pretend a train was coming. We're the best big sisters ever. Nikita used to gang up on me sometimes too, she once ran a bath for Dan and I, told us to get in our swimming costumes and the bath was freezing cold. Thanks for that. She also dared Dan to eat a doughnut covered in Mayonnaise in return for an ice cream. He never did get that ice cream.
12. Yeah, I've been a fan of One Direction since 2010 when they were on X Factor. I just adore them. They have a stigma around them which is untrue, people like to hate on them because of this. Jealousy is an ugly trait, people. Even if you don't like their music, you need to appreciate the fact they were crafted by God. And even if you don't think they're good looking, you need to appreciate the tunes. Failing that, you need to appreciate they're doing a hell of a lot more than you are. Maybe I am secretly a 12 year old fangirl. Who gives.
13. I have this thing called a pigeon chest. Well, actually, I have half a pigeon chest. It's not as cool as it sounds, it basically means that one of my rib cages is raised and feels funny. When I was younger they said I could have had an operation but it required breaking the rib cage and who's got time for that? besides, it never bothered me, still doesn't and i've never broken a bone before. When I break a bone I want it to be because of something awesome that I can brag about.
14. I did ballet for seven years as well as modern and tap. I used to absolutely love it but come the end I wanted to kill myself and had to practically beg my Mum to let me stay at home but she always made me go so I'd sit in the back of the car crying as though I was Tracy Beaker who had just argued with Elaine the pain. I was in co-op juniors where I was in the shows they did such as Peter Pan which required me being a fairy and a crocodile, I'm so versatile. It's kind of a generation thing as all of my siblings were in the co-op juniors at some stage of their lives, it was like a massive family. It still is, I'm just no longer part of it. My Mum still makes costumes for them all though and my little sister recently just got accepted so it lives on! Kind of wish I kept at it now though, party trick and all that.
15. Random fact about me is that my due date was the 29th July and my sisters due date was the 13th July but I was born on the 13th and she was born on the 29th. I always find that pretty weird. When I was born, I didn't have a name for a while so my Mum used to call me 'Lambert' because they were the cigarettes she used to smoke at the time. Classy.
16. My Grandad is black. Which is only weird when you look at me because I'm pale as anything. Apparently not anymore though as a little old lady commented on my tan yesterday. Gone are the days of Casper the friendly ghost. We used to call my Grandad, "Grandad Co Co Pops" (again.. not racist).
17. I was really particular when I was younger, I used to bath with my bra on and refused to take it off because it was "too comfy" and I genuinely feared it would never feel comfy again if I took it off. I also used to draw a line on my head where my parting was so whenever I washed my hair, I could always get the parting back exactly how it was. Thinking about it, I'm kind of a weirdo.
18. I have a moped called Monty, I got him in 2010 as a Christmas present. Scooting away from the haters. It was meant to be a surprise but one time when I was drunk I found it. I say "found it" but it wasn't exactly lost. It was literally just in my back garden, great hiding place Mum. This was the evening I like to call "the nightmare before Christmas" because Maddy got drunk too and fell over and broke my Christmas tree as well as unwrapping some of the presents underneath. She was known as the "Christmas tree destroyer" for a long time after this. Comedy gold.
19. I have no idea how mine and Maddy's friendship has lasted as long as it has (basically our whole lives) because I have lied to her a few times. They've been innocent lies but I was the worst. One time I told her I was having a Pokemon party and there was definitely no such thing. She only found out the day she arrived at my house expecting a party and received a very confused Mum and a Chloe that was in hiding. She also went through a massive phase of being obsessed with George Sampson and I told her he went to the campsite we used to camp at and that me and him held hands and went swimming together. Soz Madz.
20. In a talent show in primary school, Gem and I were doing a dance routine and instead decided to learn all of the words to the song we were dancing to. God knows why but when we forgot the dance routine, at least we knew the words to the song. Shame we couldn't sing. How we lost I'll never know.
*Please get the Mean Girls reference.
So that's a bit about me. I know this has most likely changed your life. X
