I change, things change, and there are a few more of you out there reading me than there were before, so i’ve decided to update what was 101 very inane facts about me, to the 10 actual things you need to know…

1. Firstly I’m wee (Scottish for ‘small’). That’s four foot 11 inches tall (1.5 meters). It’s the first thing anyone notices about me, so from an internet-you-cant-see-me kind of way I guess it’s the first thing you should know. Description wise I have dark hair, brown eyes, and i’m a size UK 8. Basically i’m a midget all over. I look like a pixie. My boyfriend is also small; we make a very cute midget pixie couple. I’m also a tomboy and rarely wear make up. In fact I often forget I have it on and smear it all over my face in a childlike manner.

2. Secondly I love to travel. Whether that’s just something touristy or to far flung places I have itchy feet to get out and about. I’ve moved to one of my favourite places in the world – Edinburgh – and I have made it my home for the last 12 years and I think the only place ill move to will be somewhere abroad. I’m scared of having put down roots. I hope to do it soon, sell the house and just head off into the sunset…

That’s why this blog is called wee-travellings… geddit?

3. Job wise I’m a town planner, have been for 6 years now. I mainly focus on waterfront development. I’m interested in architecture, cities, density and urban life. I work in a man’s world and I admittedly it can be tough. Sometimes I think I should just go back to working in a bar. Apart from my job, I also help run a website about clubbing in Edinburgh – http://www.eccf.co.uk/. I’ve helped to raise over 22 grand for the Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital through ECCF. I still love going clubbing despite the fact i’m 30.

4. I’m generally a bit sickly; i’ve suffered from a fecked up stomach for the last 10 years and have under gone far too many camera tests for my liking. I’m currently on a new medication which means I have to give up alcohol. i have also been told i have to give up smoking. Gulp. I also get bouts of insomnia quite regularly which can lead to some random blog posting.

5. Relationship wise it’s a mixed bag. I got married when I was 22. We got engaged after 6 weeks, married a year later and separated 6 months after that. So far we have taken 8 years to get divorced. One reason i’ve not done it is that i’m scared someone might propose to me again (I know, I know, but I think he may have done). It was on my to do list for 2008, but may have to be a new years resolution at this rate. I met the matching midget in May this year and it’s going swimmingly so far. But its still scary, I’ve walked away from my life twice. I’ve made a new start twice. I’m not sure I can do it again.

6. I’ve no children, but I am broody. It’s not very strong as I know i’m not really ready for a family yet. But i’m getting on you know, I guess ill have to do it soon or later and i’m too old and weak to lift a baby. Good job my man is younger than me…

7. The first book I ever learnt to read was called I am adopted. I was adopted at 7 weeks old and have always known. My parents didn’t hide it from me. They have a daughter of their own who is a year younger than me. Despite the fact I struggled with it for years Id be proud to adopt a child. I believe in nurture rather than nature.

8. I have a number of weird habits. I don’t like sitting with my back to the door but I have to watch people coming and going. I people watch religiously. I can only walk on the left. (It comes from my mum’s habit of the same thing. We fight when we have to walk together and will swap sides simultaneously) but I have to sleep on the right. No idea where this comes from. I also frequently trip up stairs. I think it’s because i’m partially deaf in my right ear and it makes me unbalanced.

9. I’m not massively spiritual (I was born a catholic, brought up protestant) but I have read tarot cards for 15 years. My ex boyfriend used to call me a witch as i’m pretty accurate with them. I did cards professionally for a year but I got migraines so had to stop. Now I just do them for friends over a glass of wine or three. I also get night terrors in houses where there is a history of strange goings on. I’m not physic but they certainly like to disturb my sleep.

10. I was bullied relentlessly in high school and unfortunately I now take great pleasure in hearing about my bullies failing in life. I wish I didn’t, but it’s some kind of sick revenge thing for years of self doubt. I can’t believe I admitted that.
