My 7 things:

1. i was born with blonde hair and my parents are both Samoan (a little island nation in the Pacific) so both have black hair. My Mum has about 1/32th English in her so that's probably why and she had light brown hair when she was young. But now my hair is a dark brown with only little wisps of blonde on the sides of my forehead.
   
2. Most people like nice people but I like people who come off as being rude because they are blunt and speak their mind. Most people think I'm nice but i am just as blunt. I just get along better with people who are sincere then people who are nice and diplomatic. Even if it means they might hurt my feelings. I prefer knowing what a person thinks of me, then having them be nice to my face and talk behind my back. I value honesty and straightforwardness more than a false sense of peace. I have had to learn that not everyone likes this :)
   
3. i'm a serious night owl. So I am wide awake in the early hours of the morning...some of my best times with the LORD have been at 3-4am. If you were to speak to me in the morning I would be monosyllabic in response. But at night you can't shut me up. Yet my man is a morning person which I think is the LORD having a laugh.
   
4. I have a hang up about speaking on phones. My family tend to have their phones glued to their hips and answer every call. Me, I don't even know where my phone is half the time. If i'm busy in the house, I just don't bother running for the phone. I much prefer seeing people in person or emailing or texting. I think it's because I don't like interrupting people's days so i barely ring anyone. So now my family knows if they want to get a hold of me urgently they ring my husband's phone.
   
5. i love the sea, I love being in the water, anything to do with it...cruises, ferry rides, houseboats, beaches, pools, etc. But this is the weird bit. I'm a bad swimmer. I nearly drowned once when I was about 14 but it didn't put me off. I can backstroke or dog paddle but to swim properly would be 50m at most.
   
6. I don't have the obsession most women have with chocolate. This makes me especially weird in my church because all the women love chocolate. At our women's retreats everyone's eating chocolate and i'm having something savoury.


7. I love being out in the rain. In the sea when it rains is perfect! Myles on the other hand hates being in the rain. So if we were caught in a rainstorm or slight shower, he would run from shelter to shelter waiting for me to catch up as I walked happily through it as if it was a beautiful sunny day.

so the only other person I know on blog world is Lill
