Most reading this are probably going to find this first blog boring cus its going to be about me and well if you care enough to read my blog, you probably already know about me but then sometimes you find your friends suddenly spring things on you; "You've been dating who? You're working there? When did this happen?" Then you wonder how you've missed this information but you don't want to ask your friend for clarification and seem like a shit friend because you should already know - right? We've all been there so I'm saving you all the trouble by telling you this now :)
This is one of the most recent pics of me. I like to dye my hair frequently, I've been everything from bleach blonde, jet black, pillar box red. But I'm sticking with brown for a while ... adding the occasional streak here and there, because you know, I can't be too boring.
I may decide to cut it short soon. At first I thought I wouldn't have the balls - what if I chop it off and I hate it? But then I figured, its hair, it grows back. There's no use regretting something that will fix itself.
NAMESally Elizabeth Genevieve Davies. Ok no-one in their right mind calls me by my full name, its mostly just Sally or Sal. I used to hate Sal but its actually grown on me now, I like being called it without having to ask though. If people close to me call me Sal I guess its a sign of affection from them, they feel comfortable with it - and that makes me happy.
AGE
19, nearly 20. I'm quite looking forward to being 20, it'll be scary to leave the teens but at the same time theres something so adult about 20. I guess its kind of empowering.
LOCATION
Born and raised in Liverpool, England. I lived with my parents up til the age of 18 in Crosby and have since moved out into my own flat; student accomadation called Atlantic Point in Liverpool City Centre. Though next year I'm looking to get my own studio apartment somewhere in the city centre, we'll see how it goes.
OCCUPATION
As you might have guessed from the accomadation, I am first and foremost a student. I'm studying for a BSc (Hons) Degree in Psychology and Biology. I don't have a job at the moment I earn most of my money selling bits and pieces on ebay. Occasionally I do the odd bit of modelling if times are desperate. The past summer I worked for BUPA as a Carer to people with mental illnesses. It was incredibly demanding, both physically and emotionally, but I also enjoyed it. Especially if patients improved. There's a massive sense of satisfaction if you can come home from work and know you've made a difference in someones life. It also helped to reaffirm that being a Counselling Psychologist is what I want to do when I leave uni.
PARTNER
Mr Jake McCreith. We've been going out nearly two years now, sometimes I still have to fight to actually believe it. Our story was by no means a love at first site. We met, we were friends, we kissed a few times, we fell out, we were enemies, then summer 2008 we came together again and it just seemed right. He's not just the man I love, he's my best friend. I go to him for everything, to make me laugh, to wipe away the tears.I love spending time with him, whether its curled up on the couch watching a movie or just lying in bed. He's the only person I can be completely myself with. We've been through so much together in the past that I don't think the future can bring anything we can't conquer.
I love him :)
KIDS
None. I do want them someday but right now I enjoy socialising too much.
FAMILY
Well two parents, still together. My dad's a photographer, my mum's a midwife. She's from Dublin so that's were the majority of my family still are; my family's not massive though really anyway, whether here in Liverpool or over in Dublin. I have one brother Tim, he's three years older and graduated last year and is now working for Rolls Royce. It makes me feel old knowing he's not a student anymore. Makes me feel older knowing in a year and a half, neither am I.
PETS
Jake and I have two bunnies together. It kind of started with him nicknaming me Bunny, early on in the relationship I'd get cuddly toy bunnies, chocolate bunnies... then one day I got two real fluffy bunnies. Simba and Storm. Simba's the big white fluffy one and Storm's the little grey one.
FRIENDS
Well as I mentioned, I consider Jake my best friend. I don't think you can be that close to someone and not call them your best friend really. On top of him though there's plenty more.
Katie would probably be my best friend next to Jake, we've been friends since day one of reception when we both had the same lunchbox, The Lion King ones (hers was blue, mine was orange). We went to different high schools and different universities so we're not as close as we used to be but nevertheless I still consider her as a best friend and I think its a testament to our friendship that we can remain such close friends without hardly seeing each other.
Then there's my flatmates; Paul, Charlotte and Conor. They're pretty much the ideal flatmates and we get on really well. In a way we're all quite different but then at the same time click on so many levels. Times can be hysterical whether were out or just goofing around in the flat. We haven't even really known each other that long but I'm so glad I got to know them because I really love them they're such good friends. To consider them so highly in such a short space of time has to say something.
Then coursemates. Being a small course; there's only 18 of us, we all get on with each other. I'm closer to some more than others of course; Kim, Christina, Saira, Lee (sorry if I've missed anyone) but its good, we all share the same lack of enthusiasm for most of the topics so spend the lecture chatting about irrelvant things or, my personal favourite alternative, down in the pub.
People from Crosby, well in terms of high school friends its only really a very small handful I still speak to, Liz, Luce and Joe. That's it really. And even then we don't see each other half as much as I'd like. I fell out with everyone else I was close to in high school, but I've long since moved on and it didn't take me long to realise I was better without them. Mostly I hang out with Jake's friends and their respective girlfriends when I'm not at uni, most of them are really nice anyway and we all get on.
ABOUT ME
I don't know how to describe myself. I'm not a girly girl who worships all things pink, but I'm not a tomboy either. I think I'm a nice balance. I love dresses, I'm actually a little addicted my wardrobe is full of dresses, mainly from Jane Norman. I love shoes too, and shopping, and chick flicks. But then I also love action films and computer games and in reality I'm a massive geek.
Personality wise I'd say I am a nice person, I go out of my way to help people whether they're my best friend or someone I only just met. I'm quite shy and really only open up once you get to know me though. I don't like confrontation so try to be agreeable but that's not to say I don't stand up for myself or things I really believe in. I hate injustice. I'm also, unfortunately, a worrier. If it can be worried about it will be worried about. I'm trying to work on this problem since it'll probably leave me with massively high blood pressure. Oh and on that topic, I'm unlucky with health. I break... easily. Don't tell me to drink milk, I do. I could drain a whole farm of cows and I'd still snap doing something retarded. Just wrap me up in bubble wrap :)
.... and for now that's it. I shall try to update this as frequently as possible. Thanks for reading.
