TAG I'M IT THE LIEBSTER AWARD

I've been tagged for this post by the lovely PippaSays, if you haven't read her amazing blog, make sure you do today. I love blogging and connecting with bloggers so it was exciting to be tagged and get to share this post with you.
I actually did one last month similar to this, 30 facts about KG so i'm going to try and change this one up a bit so it's different from everything I shared in that post.

The Liebster Award is essentially the online version of “tag” – except with this you have to share facts about yourself, rather than watch people run away from you as you shout “nooo, not me again.”
I used to avoid tag as much as possible at school, my lack of lung capacity and extreme clumsiness resulted in scraped knees, hands, bruises and even once a rather deep cut from a thorn bush I was pushed into!

So let's hope Blogger tag is considerably less painful eh.
As I said I was tagged by music turned fashion blogger PippaSays, you can see her post for the tag right here. The tag means whoever has been nominated posts 11 random facts about themselves, then answer 11 questions the blogger who nominated them has asked.
Then select 5-11 other bloggers to answer questions you have asked them.

11 Random Facts

1. I once had my haircut on TV for children in need. It was done by Stingray from Neighbours and he cut my hair from waist-length to a bob.

2. I was filmed by the BBC for my local theatre group doing scenes from Shakespeare plays.

3. I used to do 'spells' as a teen and was convinced my high school relationship ended because a potted plant I had grown at the beginning of the relationship fell from my windowsill and was damaged. Though to this day I still think my mum threw it out as she was worried about it being 'magic'. I've never since done a 'love spell'.

4. I don't like being spun-round and will avoid teacups, waltzers and merry-go-rounds as much as possible. I have been daring enough to go on a carousel once or twice though!

5. I once let my friend cut my hair using the reflection of her kitchen window (it was dark outside) and a pair of what I can only recall as kitchen scissors. I cried. I think she cried and then we went for Pizza Hut.

6. That same friend wrote me a song as a gift for when I moved away and I cried when I the CD broke, it was the first song ever written for me and to this day I still remember and treasure it.

7. My cousin and I used to create our own radio shows, we even held a guess this noise competition, our radio names were based on our favourite animals. Mine was ElephantWelliphant and MonkeyWonkey is now a well respected photographer.

8. That same cousin and I designed our own chocolate bar, I don't remember exactly the ingredients but I can imagine why it was never picked up by a candy company.

9. That same cousin again did a photo-shoot for me and just as she convinced me to sit atop a post box, a bus FULL of people gawping out pulled up and stopped at the junction. That cousin and I may not see each other for months or even years but when we are back together it's as if we are 13 and 16 again and the giggling never ends.

10. My music blog has emerged from a one day a week post to two blogs, a career in the music and media industry as well as helped me find the confidence to turn my life around and follow my heart.

11. I modelled for a local town fashion show in the shopping mall. One of the guys I met that day turned out to be my boyfriends best friend. After initially meeting Greg back all that time ago, I never actually met my boyfriend Rob until 8 years later, even when he introduced me to Greg, I never imagined it to be one of the guys from that day. Only when I added a photo to Facebook and Greg commented on it, did I realise he was in fact the same person! What a small world.

So I hope you enjoyed those 11 random facts, if you haven't read my 30 facts about KG post you can do so here.
