And you thought you knew me.......

Tagged by Piers . So here are five things about me which other people might think lame, but which make me who I am and I am proud of.

1- I am very sentimental and cry with the smallest things

Sometimes when I am watching the news, a sad story would make me cry. I cry when i watch the end of a movie, regardless if it is a sad or happy ending and even if I only watched the end of it. I cry when i get to the end of a good book or when someone is telling a sad or a happy story.

2- I like it when things are in order

Even my mess is an organised mess. I enjoy optimising space and making sure that i can fit as many things as possible in the space that I have. I love boxes and, somehow, I always manage to find things to put in them.

3- I find it almost impossible to throw things away

Maybe this is the reason why I collect things..... when i was little i went through a fase of collecting sweet wrapping paper! Then I moved to stickers and postcards. Now I go for things i can also use such as shoes, handbags, scarfs..... I have a massive collection of plastic bags. Plastic bags are good, and some of them are too nice to be thrown away.

4- I like watching musicals, and romantic comedy movies

Two of my old time favourite musicals are "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "the Sound of Music". And of course I cry everytime i watch them. Sometimes I watch them with subtitles so I can sing along (I don't torture people with my voice though, i only sing when i'm on my own)

5- I would drop anything i am doing for my friends and family

I take great pride of where I come from and who my friends are. I like to think that these are a reflection of who I am. It might not be a lame thing about me, but it is one that i'm very proud of and it definitely makes me who I am today.

Some people complaint that my number 5 is not a lame thing, so I had to think about a different number 5....... and the new entry is:

5- I could watch "Friends" episodes again and again and again

I love "Friends". I think it is an amazing TV series and I own all of the episodes. I have seen all of it several times and I watch it when it is shown on TV. Now i'm reading a book about the series. I guess all this makes me a fan!

I hope you enjoyed that!!!
