Woah! I am stylish!

First, I have been away a bit! Sorry.
I had a big time party weekend then got a bit sick from being out in the cold all weekend.
Work has been stressful because my co worked who knows everything is trapped in Tasmania because a volcano in Chile erupted and there is ash all in the sky so no one can fly anywhere.

But on to blog stuff


Oh look I got a stylish blogger award from super awesome Vulcan Butterfly.

I don't often think of myself as stylish, more like crazy with a tiny hint of style hahaha!

So now I have to write 7 facts about me.

1: From the age of 8 till 17 I was an international athelete. I competed in Track and road racing all over the world and competed in the 2000 Paralympics. Even tho I was very good (ranked 8th in the world and 2nd in Australia) I quit because I felt I had other more creative things with my life.

2: I am in a wheelchair because I had a blood clot on my spinal cord when I was in the womb. It blocked some nerves growing and damaged some that were already grown. When I was 3 days old they cut me open and cut part of the clot off and stapled the rest down. So I have 5 staples in me right now! :o

3: It turns out the blood clot was caused by a weird genetic flaw that has been passed down through my mums side of the family. It's called HHT (it was in an episode of House! )

4: Here in Sydney we had a gothic festival every year called Under the Blue Moon. I was the markets coordinator for 4 years. I got interviewed for the newspaper in the 3rd year.
Here is the funny picture that was in the paper (How long is my hair!!!)



5: Eels are my favorite animals EVER. I also like sharks, squids, Cuttlefish, goats and koi fish.

6: I often get depressed that I am not: a. a werewolf
b. a real redhead
c. someone with a cool accent
d. a wizard
e. a mutant in the xmen (more likey the brotherhood)
f. married to James McAvoy

7: I reallllllllyyyy love ridiculous shoes. HUGE stiletto heels crazy unwalkable shoes. I also like the sort of toned down versions of these but it's VERY hard for me to wear these. As I am not actually standing up they don't make me taller they just make my feet sit higher on the footplate of my wheelchair, this means I have to find a higher cushion to go on the seat, which is annoying.
I buy these shoes anyway! A lot of them sit on a bookcase for me to drool at.
My latest pair are actually wearable as they have a bit of ankle support.
Sorry this is a crud iphone photo as I have lost the cable to my camera :*(

I will pass this nomination on to Cassykins vs the World cos she has awesome ginger head style!

LOVE those shoes! That is pretty awesome that you were an international athlete! I'd love to go to Under the Blue Moon, I love a good goth festival! It must have been fun to play such a big part in it!
