A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

The photo of me was taken by either Erik or my Mum at my graduation earlier this year.

1. One of my earliest memories is getting a pot plant stuck on my head around age two or three.
   
2. I think I am fairly good at cooking but not so great at baking.
3. I'm a cat person and hope that when Erik and I move somewhere that allows pets we will get a cat. I have a soft spot for tabbies.
   
4. I'm frequently mistaken for a lot younger than I am.
5. My birthday is five days after my Mum's.
   
6. If you take the first two letters of my first name and the first two of my last name it spells KIWI (which Erik tells me merits as an interesting fact)
7. I don't know how to drive a car. When I was living in Greymouth I would ride a moped around and living in Central Auckland I normally don't need to travel far.
   
8. I'm a geek of the book and gaming sort. Also maybe slightly addicted to the Internet.
9. At a guess I would say I have roughly between 200 and 300 books in the apartment. One day I will count them and be shocked.
10. I've won both NaNoWriMo (2009) and SocNoC once (2010) and going to go for NaNoWriMo again this November.
    
11. When I was younger when I grew up I wanted to be a vet, then an author and then a music journalist. Out of those I still want to be an author but have added a few new things to the list.
    
12. I like to put my headphones on, choose some favourite songs on my iPod then sing and dance around the apartment. Anyone who sees me is highly amused.
    
13. I met my best friend at a BookCrossing convention in Wellington.
    
14. I like t shirts especially cute, funny or band t shirts.
    
15. My favourite colour is blue.
