Random Beth Facts #1

I'm a quiet person.  I talk a lot, but I have things to say.  I know people who are the type that give a running commentary for everything they're doing - it drives me nuts.

I love second-hand book shops.  I tend to look through for the names of the people who owned them or the little inscriptions of the ones given as gifts.

When I get a text message on my phone, my alert sound is Dr Zoidberg

My favourite precious stone is Ametrine

If I go out for indian food, I order the same thing every time.  An indian restaurant is the only place I don't deviate from the regime.  Poppodums, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Korma, Pilau Rice, Bombay Aloo, Nan Bread.  Its not that I can't eat anything spicier, I just like to really enjoy what I'm eating.

I'm scared of horses.  I have no idea why.  I can only suppose in a previous life I was killed or hurt by one.

I believe in reincarnation and karma.

I aspire to have the ability to wear high heels all day, rather than to wear trainers walking to the office and changing when I get there.  Its the pussy's way out.  My feet should be tougher.

In terms of art and music, I love things that are encompassing, that make you feel wrapped up in them. Two examples of this that spring to mind are the Rothko Room at the Tate Modern, and the song "Play Dead" by Bjork.  I find both overwhelming in a very profound way.

On a cultural theme, I'll hop over to film and announce that I love John Cusack.  Love him.  He's so extremely underrated as an actor.

I used to carry an emergency Galaxy Ripple in my handbag.  I stopped when I realised I wasn't saving them for emergencies.

I passed my driving test last November.  I still don't own a car.  The responsibility scares me a bit.

I like this list!
My feet need to be tougher too. It's just not happening.

I loved this! And John Cusack? I couldn't agree more. Say Anything is my favourite movie to watch when I'm sick. He's just so... well.. great. Ahh, I'm so inarticulate today.

Once I had a dream that I was married to John Cusack. But not as himself, as Lloyd Dobbler. It was a really good dream. I'm still looking for my Lloyd.
