Randomness Ahoy
Posted by Alison under: BlahBlahBlah; Tags .
Thanks to Chris at Thermal, I am going to inflict on you 7 random things about me:
- I’m a wannabe writer. I am determined to get in print within the next 2 years, but have been writing stories in one way or another since I was about 6 years old.
- My favourite film ever is Kind Hearts and Coronets.
- I like to teach myself random languages, i.e Latin, Gaelic and Ancient Greek. Not to any real proficiency you understand.
- I have been researching my family tree since 1997, and have logged about 8,000 people so far, back to 1605. All because I broke my ankle and wanted something to do.
- I believe in angels.
- In my house we have watched the Eurovision Song Contest every year since we were kids. So bad, it’s funny.
- Trying to write this has made my brain tired. No more randomness
I don’t like to inflict tags on others, so if any of you want to take this on feel free, let me know, or leave it in my comments box if you like.
4 Comments so far...

Great list - very interesting! I did some research on my husband’s family - traced his (great, great, great,etc.) Grandfather back to England - he came to Canada, married a Native girl and mapped out most of Western Canada. It was pretty interesting! I didn’t get back as far as you, but into the 1700’s I think!

I must do a genealogy post soon, Kai.
It’s all greek to me Chris
I love old films Claire, esp Alec Guinness, Alastair Sim et al. My writing is usually whatever takes my fancy, so it’s both fiction and non fiction, but I am doing history at the moment. Big surprise there…
