8 random things

i was tagged by claire to write 8 random things about myself. since i haven't done any knitting of late i thought i'd do this instead! here go:

i) i've been living in north london, working as a junior web designer, for 9 months now and i am the happiest i've ever been - i can't see myself moving or changing for a long time.
ii) half my family is french/polish but sadly the language is lost to me now.
iii) bananas make me physically sick. i even get nauseous if i see someone eating one or catch the slightest smell. talking of food, i'm a vegetarian and remain convinced that the main food groups are salt, chilli, toast, and mayonnaise.
iv) i'm quite smart - my IQ is way above MENSA level - but i generally come across as a bit stupider cos i'm clumsy and tend not to speak up a lot
v) my dream dinner party would feature stephen fry, eddie izzard, lauren laverne, johnny depp and michel gondry.
vi) i am definitely a cat person. i want a kitten really badly but i need a bigger flat and more time to look after him first.
vii) my favourite smells are lavender, grass, and lemon; my favourite colour is green; i am attracted to all things kitsch and shiny.
viii) someday i'm going to open a knitting/record/tea shop, it'll be fantastic.
