This is a list of random, hopefully not generic, facts about myself that most people may not know. I'd encourage others to do the same. By no order of importance:
1. Morning is my favourite part of the day.
2. I have an unusually good long term memory (eg. I remember what someone was wearing when I first met them years ago), but not so good short term memory.
3. I enjoy checking things off my “to do” list (when I've actually done them).
4. For a year of my life I did stand-up comedy (Even went to SA’s got talent and got past the first round, I just didn’t go back)
5. Favourite fruit: Mango
6. I enjoy making people laugh, although it does take quite a while for me to be comfortable enough around someone before I try to do that.
7. I’m secretly talkative, but few know this (due to the last clause of #6.)
8. I really dislike cold weather.
9. I am trend-averse… I find myself losing interest in things when they become “trendy.“
10. Humour and silence is how I deal with overwhelming and sometimes painful circumstances
11. I've lived alone in a single flat for the past 4 years due to studies.
12. Used to be a major hip-hop head, circa 2003-2010
13. I am not a fan of savoury breakfasts.
14. I’ve graduated 3 times…soon to be 4. (It would be nice to make it 5 before I reach 30.)
15. I only learnt how to run properly when I was 16. I really enjoy running now; looking forward to a time when I will be able to run without getting tired.
16. When I was in primary school, because I was a year younger than all my class-mates, I would always feel pressured to catch up to them. For this reason, almost once every week I found myself reading the dictionary to try and learn better english so that I could "be smarter."
17. Character traits I appreciate in people: genuineness, humility, excellence of spirit and wit.
18. One thing I really dislike: being searched (ie. By security guards and stuff)
19. Two things I’m really interested in: Systematology (related to various theories, but particularly in business and urbanism) and Apologetics.
20. My backpack and my glasses are a part of my everyday outfit. I feel naked without them and I feel like I have superpowers with them on.
21. Top 5 life changing books: 1. Steps to Christ (Ellen White), 2. How to Be a Victorious Christian (Thomas Davis), 3. The Coming of the Comforter (Leroy Froom), 4. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Especially habit no.5)-(Stephen Covey), 5. How to Win Friends and Influence People (Dale Carnegie),
22. I’m more nervous at approaching/talking to individual strangers than speaking to a crowd.
23. I secretly have ambitions which I do not share until they are close to being fulfilled
24. I love traveling, especially other African countries. I hope to visit at least one other African country a year, and at least one overseas country a year .
25. My morning ritual often includes a round of singing and dancing (especially between breakfast, showering & exercise), hence #1
26. I sing a lot when I work (I like acapella music and depending on my mood I sing different parts: Favourites are alto, baritone and bass.)
27. I have 4 names
28. I’m relatively good at getting things done. Though I do sometimes wish I was as socially inclined as much as I am task driven.
29. I have a dislike for the labels "liberal" and "conservative." I have been called both, and haven't really appreciated it.
30. My 3 Biggest role models (apart from Jesus): My Father and Mother; that’s about it.
There's obviously much more about a person than 30 random fact, but
:)
