1. My parents named me Vanessa after seeing Vanessa Redgrave in the movie Camelot. Almost everyone calls me Ness, except my parents and Mick who stuck with the Vanessa thing.
2. My hair used to be straight but now it's curly because I had chemo. Sigh.
3. My favourite drink is tea.
4. I can't wear perfume. It gives me headaches.
5. I didn't learn to drive until I was 36.
6. When adulting seems too hard I often fantasize about being a dog. I draw the line at becoming a Furry, though. It'd be too hot in summer.

13. To my right there is a tall bookcase and a smaller one. Both are filled with books. Well, I did say they were random facts.

15. I am terrible at multi-tasking. Except when I'm blogging, Facebooking, drinking wine and eating all the food simultaneously. I SMASH that.
16. My middle name is Faye. Which sounds like an old lady name in 2016. Totally goes with my nanna curls. Winning!
17. I don't think I'm interesting enough to make it to 21 facts. Thinking, thinking, thinking...

20. I'm super untidy but I can't stand having sticky or wet hands. Weird.

There you have it. 21 totally random facts about me. You're welcome!
