10 Random Facts About Me

So, how does this work? I'm going to list 10 random facts about me... and then in turn, tagged neighbours (and anyone else who wants to do this) should also write ten random facts about themselves on their Vox Journal. Alright?

1. I graduated from university with two degrees by the time I was 22 years old. My second congregation was after my birthday, but the degree was completed before.
2. I'm an only child.
3. I've primarily worked in the non-profit sector until my current job.
4. Although I am a trained teacher and like working with children, I have no interests in having kids of my own.
5. Coffee is kind of my friend. On one hand it is bad for me (stomach acid & anxieties). On the other hand, it helped me through my five years of university, and the last two years of high school. Hmm...
6. I'm a "foodie". I really enjoy my food and trying new foods.
7. If I could, I would live in Los Angeles.
8. I'm a bookworm and proud of it. My favourite book right now is Roasting in Hell's Kitchen. Absolutely great read.
9. I met my best-friend on the internet.
10. Building puzzles is a hobby of mine.

Tag, you're it: dearbarbz, angelfish, mc2, Laurel, Tigergal05, Faith, (and anyone else who would like to do this) Please write ten facts about yourself and tag some Voxers to do the same.
