20 Random Facts about ME!

Originally written on 26/04/2017.

This is sort of a "Know the Author" article but in a random way, shall we?

1. I hate touching food with my bare hands (expect for, like, bread or something dry and not sticky or oily). I know it's weird, but the sensation of food on my fingers is just disgusting to me. And some smelly foods like seafood hardly leave one's hands like before, and yes even when you guys wash your hands they still stink, sorry not sorry! As for cooking, I try not to touch anything and if I do, I instantly wash my hands and pray I won't throw up.

2. I'm obsessed with mermaids. Especially Disney's Ariel. I have an Ariel t-shirt, pyjama, towel, multiple miniatures, pins, mechanical pencil, water bottle and keychain. 

3. I stopped eating McDonald's a year or two before leaving for college but then I ate it a few times in Paris (it's the cheapest option here, that's why). Until, one time, the fish of the Fillet-O-Fish sandwich was blueish, so I had to stop eating there ever again.

4. I hate tea. I tried a bunch of types, but it's really not for me. I'm a shame on the Middle-East, I know.

5. I was born in Kuwait and no I don't have the Kuwaiti citizenship/ passport. They don't grant you the citizenship unless one of your parents is Kuwaiti. This is always an issue when I'm filling official forms, people always get confused and some online forms have the "nationality" and "place of birth" as the same country, automatically.

6. I try to be as eco-friendly as possible; I care a lot about the environment. I do recycling, reuse plastic bags and containers, don't use plastic straws (trying to give up the plastic cutlery too) and rarely waste electricity, water or food.

7. I had a phase where I believed in astrology, I know right! Stupidest two months of my life.

8. I was in the swimming team for so many years even though I didn't like the sport. I loved basketball though.

9. My favourite language is French, no Arabic, French, not sure. Just kidding, it's Arabic. But for real, I used to prefer French.

10. I hate politics. But during the Arab Spring I was always following the events and I had some views and discussed them with others. Now, I try to ignore it on social media as much as I can and I don't follow a certain party.

11. I've been wearing my glasses for nine years now and I can't wait to get rid of them. Probably I will write a whole article on my hate for glasses.

12. I never sugarcoat. If you ask me my opinion I won't go around the bush and I'll be straightforward. I think it's best to give authentic feedback, only when asked, otherwise you'd be a rude person sharing his unwanted opinions.

13. I can ride a bike and skateboard and wear skaters (ice and regular ones).

14. I don't like romantic movies. My favorite genre is comedy. I also love horror and drama. Bollywood movies have a special place in my heart. I don't watch a lot of movies though. I prefer TV shows.

15. I'm a burger person. I could eat a burger at a fancy restaurant with no shame, as long as it's not frozen meat.

16. Coffee and music addict. Chocolate too.

17. I used to draw a lot six years ago. But high school kept me busy so I stopped.

18. I'm a "don't tell me what to do!" type of person. Sometimes.

19. I love singing and dancing. I have a terrible voice but that isn't stopping me.

20. My favorite animals are dolphins and dogs.

BONUS: I had braces for seven years.

How many of these did you know, though?
