When I read people's comments, I began to realise that although we follow people and see their 365 journey through their lives... we don't actually know many basic/random things about them.
So basically, I figured I'm not the only one who'd be interested to know stuff like this about my followers, so post a picture of you (or you hiding if you hate selfies :p) and some random facts about yourself, I'd love to get to know you! :D
I'm 46 and live in Germany, I'm sharing my home with two cats, and I was an office worker until I retired from work due to major health problems. I'm vegetarian, an atheist, and I hate animal abuse - and I'm emetophobic! Yes, I guess that sums it up... :-)
I'm a 30 year old wife and a mother to a 10 year old. I have two dogs that I love very much, one which is my rescue.
My job is that I'm one of those gremlins that moves things in the grocery store when you aren't looking. You know "It was on the top shelf, right here, last time I was here!".
I hate eating fish and the smell of it cooking makes me sick...and yet I live in a coastal area.
I do not consider myself a photographer and won't until I master my camera more.
I am fiercely loyal to things that I love.
@joannebradbury@indiannie_jones Sorry, but I love cheese, all types from mild cheddar to stinky blue stuff. Even the kind with cranberries in. Couldn't stand by and see a food I love be so disparaged...
This is my most recent selfie, I tend not to take them as I prefer to be behind the lens.
I'm 27, I live near Coventry (UK), I've been married for nearly 3 years and have 2 children (3yrs and 4yrs) and we adopted a kitten in November who is becoming the subject of many of my photos.
I am a criminal justice drug worker and spend most of my time based in Probations offices. I got my first qualification in this area when I was 14 and have spent the last (almost) 14 years doing some form of drug work.
Since I was about 6-7 years old I wanted to study zoology or marine biology at Bangor, after my A levels I was accepted there and studied zoology and conservation but left half way through my second year.
I have now submitted an application to study photography at Coventry university and will hopefully hear back soon if I have an interview or if my application has been dismissed out of hand.
I have also worked for a national schools portrait company and before getting my current job.
I'm think I am still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up!
My home planet of Galifrey was time locked etc etc
But no, really; I'm in what I like to term my extended-mid-to-late-twenties (and/or twenty-ten) live in Brighton, construct astounding web-based business systems for a living, drive too fast, and am presently listening to this on one-track-repeat because it is The Sex.
This is my social tool. I once served Jonathan Ross in a cafe, he asked for "two tuna wolls and wegular coke", serious. I've ben skiing once. Live in berkshire, England...aged 28 2/5ths.
The last self-portrait I posted here was over a month ago...
Anyway, I'm twenty-one, I live in Norwich (UK), and I'm a professional musician. I play gigs with bands, orchestras and solo artists, I do recording sessions, and I teach music; the instruments I play are drums, orchestral percussion, piano and keyboards.
I do like cheese (honestly, shocked that some people don't!) but, like someone else said above me, I hate eating fish. In fact, I don't eat anything that comes from the sea.
Also, it looks like @joannebradbury forgot to close her bold tag. So, I've done it for you. ;)
Sweet, it did work! Oh, now I feel I should contribute to this thread.
I don't have a selfie (my profile pic is about 30 years old and not taken by me, so probably doesn't count, right?) - but I'm 32, from Cambridge, and I'm a former local reporter turned press officer, working for a medical research charity. I like tea, reading, knitting, my bicycle, live music (mainly of the indie rock variety) and shouting at politicians on TV as if they can hear me.
I'm 25 years old. I live in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm a mother to a 3 year old pain-in-the-butt... oops! I mean perfect little angel :D I work full time in Quality Assurance in Public Assistance (Food Stamps, Medicaid, etc.) and go to school full-time. I'm graduating this year so I'm pretty excited about that! AND... I'm a total nerd. I love video games and play them pretty much any chance I get.
So this is my selfie from today....
And some random stuff huh....My real name is Emma but I prefer to be know as Ems, I'm 27 but ask me on another day and I'll be 25. I work in an HR team who work with schools and I oversee the criminal records checking and medical referrals. I love cheese and green tea, though not together. I'm slightly OCD when it comes to things being in their right place. I hate the numbers 4 and 8 even though I'm not sure why. I have a huge fear of fish and a passion for music that can be played loud....anything from rock to drum and bass. Favourite colour is turquoise. Last random fact....I'm writing this from the bath!
So, I'm 17 years old. I live in Czech Republic and I'm still shocked when people living in Europe are asking me where it is. I'm studying in a French School since i was 3, so I'm biligue and I am very thankful to my parents for putting me in that school.
I'm doing my A-levels this year, and the problem is, you have to do them in every single subject you have at school, even gym classes :D which means around 12 subjects :D
Thats the second time im doing this project. And everyweek i feel like im gonna stop it.
And yes, I do like both, cheese and fish :D But i hate cooked pepper :D
Im 21 years old and Im a fifth year medical student in Christchurch, New Zealand but as it is summer holidays I am working on a genetics research project in Dunedin. I actually went to uni to do genetics but somehow ended up in medical school and only look back about once a week (usually when Im so exhausted I can't move after a day in outpatients).
When I don't have my nose in a textbook I love to read (anything, everything, as long as it has words), I love to play music (flute and penny whistle - I grew up in the folk music scene and have never left), I love to dance (ballet mostly, but any style will do), I love to ski and hike and travel and this year I am going to learn to mountain climb.
I love cheese. I also love fish. Especially when I catch it myself.
I once met Phil Oakey of the Human League in the shop where I worked in Sheffield. Despite on the whole despising the whole culture of celebrity, and believing that I don’t get star struck, I was unable to talk to him properly and basically gibbered at the man for a couple of minutes. He was very nice and signed my CD copy of Dare, before nervously muttering something about Spice Girls dolls and leaving
When I was young, I wanted to be The Fonz and Tucker Jenkins
I have tourettes. I suppose you would term it mild tourettes as I am not one of those poor unfortunates who has to shout rude words all the time, but I have built up quite a collection of tics over the years. It’s pretty horrible and makes me very self conscious, especially on buses.
Hi. I'm Elise. I'm 25 and live in the U.S. in Ohio. I'm a news producer, but I kind of hate it. lol. It's stressful and totally not worth what I get paid to do it. I've been with my fiance since I was 16 years old. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. My fiance and I live with my family and we aren't aloud to sleep in the same room. It sucks. lol. I use photography as a means of escape. I picked the picture above because it's very naturally just me. My favorite color is yellow. I have no fashion sense. And I'm very awkward. Oh, and I love a lot of nerdy things. Yeah, I think that's enough.
NO selfie Like to be behind the camera not infront of it .

I am an amateur photographer, and my album is filled with all types of subjects, no rhyme or reason. I'm into my second year, and I still love it. I have a deep affinity and love of trees, and you'll probably find quite a few in my Favs. Yea, I Fav a LOT! OK, off to catch up on posting now. And yes, that's a REAL frog!
Ok, here we go:
I am older than I look. My husband is 8 yrs. younger than me. We have no children. I've been married before. I have lived in other countries but the U.S. has been home for most of my adult life. I speak 4 languages. I love animals, especially dogs. I love clothes. I don't wear yellow gold. I love contemporary decor. I read blogs. I love London, Paris and New York. I love food and have a wicked, but selective, sweet tooth. I love art. I'm short and thin. I hate a lot of things but not cheese.
I am Colombia but I came to the USA for Grad school. I miss my family a lot, ALL of them are still back home so I get to go to Colombia (almost) every year. I am 33. I live with my boyfriend, who likes photography but doesnt really know how to take pictures. I love playing ultimate (and in fact I just came back from a tournament). I have been in 27 states of the united states :).
I am 40 and happily single. I live near Belfast, Northern Ireland where I work as a Civil Servant. I only started this project on New Years Day this year.
Im a teacher in Chicago. I love music and movies - well any type of entertainment! I adore my puppy Brady... I hate fruit punch.... um I love potatoes! hehe.
I'm a father and husband.
I have a 13-day-old son on my lap, and the keyboard is on his belly. The keyboard is small. The baby isn't.
I like coffee. A lot.
I love easily.
I hurt easily.
I sometimes forget how to feel anything.
I rode my bicycle over 500km last week, much of it in the rain.
I've seen (and photographed) more dead people than I can possibly count.
I have a Ducati superbike that hardly gets ridden.
I love spicy food. Really, really spicy food.
I lived in Moscow, Russia.
My wife - Koshi - was once my Tae kwon-do instructor.
I love to write, more than I love to photograph.
I wear black, almost always. I try to wear other colours, but usually feel uncomfortable doing so. My mother says it is a stage I'm going through (since I was 15).
I'm almost 37.
I studied Psychology, Computer Science, and English Lit/Journalism.
I feel more at home on horseback than I do anywhere else.
I have what my wife refers to as a "stupidly high pain tolerance."
I have an extremely low fear response - I don't react to danger or surprise in the usual ways.
I have black belts in two martial arts - one as a 1st dan instructor.
I'm not good in social situations. But I'm good at pretending I am.
Blood fascinates me. I read blood spatter texts, even when my current jobs don't require it.
I don't like guns, though I appreciate them.
I have survived several things that should have killed me.
I tend to get sick easily, so I spend a lot of time keeping fit.

- I was once at sea for 92 consecutive days. On a Navy ship, not adrift or anything incredible like that.
- In high school, I lost the wrestling state championship match by 2 frigging points but the other kid had to puke when it was over, so if it had been like Fear Factor, I think I would have been declared the winner.
- I finished a half Iron Man race a couple of years ago. I will never try to do an Iron Man.
- Some Marines once dared me to drink a beer poured through the severed head of a spit roasted pig. It wasn't as bad as drinking out of a rugby boot, but it was close. (On a related note... I love cheese.)
- If for the rest of my life I could only listen to the music of one band, it would be Thievery Corporation.
