I'm bored and suffering from a horrid cold. This is the result of my cold-filled brain. I got it from someone's journal, but I can't remember who, so sorry in advance!

1. I have a dog (actually a puppy) called Milo. He's five months ago, and is the 'baby' of the family. He's a cocker spaniel and caramel coloured with a white chest

2. My real name is Jennie. Contrary to popular belief it's *not* short for Jennifer. , I'm just Jennie.

3. I call myself Imogen Lily here because, my mum wanted to call me Imogen, but the rest of the family wouldn't let her. I love the name so I use it here. Lily is my middle name and also my paternal grandmother's name (she was Lillian, I'm just Lily) but I never met her

4.  I have three siblings, who's names all begin with J. This was not intensional! I also have two step-siblings. Out of all six of us, I am the second youngest

5.  I am facinated with history. I find the present and future boring in comparison. This is probably why I adore fantasy but find sci-fi boring

6. I have absolutely no interest in celeb's lives. I hate, hate magazines like US Weekly, People and Now (British mag) to making us all feel we should be facinated by other people's lives, romances, shoes and mishaps. I've got my own life to shruggle and deal with. 

7.  I developed a love of comic books and computer games from my brothers and I still love them now. My favorite character is Gambit from the X-Men.

8.  Before my sister was born, I played with Transformers hidden under my brother's bed instead of Barbie dolls

9. I have never dated anyone or been in a relationship, I want to have a relationship but  I don't want to be with anyone I'm not certain with, and I haven't been certain of anyone yet.

10. I *hate* all alchol, so I don't drink. Period. It's nothing to do with religon or morals, I just hate the taste *shrugs* I'm a fussy eater generally

11. Due to my dyspraxia there are certain foods/clothes that I can't stand the taste/texture of. I am not trying to be deliberately awkward!

12. I have no memories of my dad who died when I was seven. He wasn't around me and my sister much before he died, so there isn't much to remember

13.  Until I was 7 I wanted to be a witch. Then until I was 15 I wanted to be a history and drama teacher. Now I have no idea what I want to be, but I know I want to help people. My current idea and the one the appeals to be most is becoming a dramatherapist, but this takes about five years of training and doing an MA which is expensive...

14. I'd love to be able to write, be a published author (like most of the world) and I'm planning on doing a creative writting MA, but I tend to have too many ideas and not enough staying power right now. Hopefully that will change....

15. My school days were the worst of my life. I spent them in a bubble of almost perpetual fear over forgotting homework, being disorganized, dracoian unforgiving teachers and not having any friends. Things got better when I finally went to university. Despite my hatred of school, I still have a passion for learning that I'm glad I've still got

16.  Most of my closest friends/social network revolves round friends I've met via the internet. I hate that these friendships are seen as less...valid somehow. I consider my 'internet' friends my best friends, and they have helped me through some really difficult times, as I have with them. I resent that we are portrayed as sad, disturbed loners. For people who are sick, like I was when I first got ME, the internet is often the best communication tool you have and it has saved my sanity on occasion.

17. I live my life by music. My iPod is one of my most valued and used tools. I always use it when walking anywhere, in the car, exercising. Songs are the quickest way to cheer me up - apart from chocolate (which doesn't last that long) I love all kinds of music: pop, rock, clasical, country, classic rock, blues, jazz  - I love it all.

18. I'm not sure I want children. A part of me does, but another part of me thinks I'm too selfish and disorganised. I also worry that I - or the world would mess up my children, there's so many terrible things in the world, not just wars etc, but just day to day stuff like bullying and peer pressure that really weigh children down. That scares me.

19. I hate travelling, I'm very much a home bird and I get homesick if I'm away too long (read: over a week) I love learning new things and cultures, but at the same time I love and crave the familar and safe

20. I believe in God, but not in the church. I don't go to church, but I still pray. I despise how people warp it and take the Bible/Qu'Ran/Torrah out of context to fuel their own hatred and bigotry. Christians that go on about Wars on Terror, or saving America  from homosexuals etc, should re-read the New Testiment. Jesus did not descriminate - in fact he went out of his way to befriend tax collectors, prosistutes - not the good and virtuous. He told people to love and forgive and most importantly not judge. Those that can't aren't real Christians in my books.

bonus: 21: My lucky number is 8. Dunno why!
