It's like taking a guess when the only answer is 'yes'. (20 Things #1)

I've been rather active on my blog lately. I've decided to write down 20 things about me. Some are well-known facts, some aren't. In a few weeks/months/years, we'll see what has changed. (And perhaps I'll do another one in the future just for the fun of it.)

1. I have a third name which I chose for my confirmation. In all honesty, I didn't have to choose one, but all of my friends chose one so I decided, 'why not?' The name is Anne. (So essentially my full name is Stephanie Michelle Anne de Souza.)
2. I have a stuffed dog named 'Baby'. My mum found her at a bus stop when I was 11 and she's been my favourite stuffed toy since.
3. Baby has been to many countries with me. These include, but are not limited to, China, Japan, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
4. I have six best friends. 5 of them girls. Most subscribe to the view that you can only have one best friend (hence the word 'best'). But you know what I say to those people? Fuck off.
5. I'm engaged to one of my best friends on Facebook. We made that agreement when we were 16 and sick of guys. We have plans to settle down together and get a civil partnership if we don't find love by 40.
6. I've never had a serious relationship that lasted for more than a month.
7. I had a crush on an older female schoolmate when I was 13. She was my mentor and very 'butch' and I was so confused as a result.
8. I'm swearing off Dominos pizza until the end of this year. This started at the start of the summer and I haven't broken my personal oath thus far.
9. I have plenty of good friends. Some are closer than others, but all are treasured dearly.
10. I still can't believe my oldest brother has a child. Only because he will always be my annoying, childish older brother who can't stop pissing me off.
11. I cannot stand cockroaches. I can face lizards, most other incests, zombies, and the imminence of World War 3. But if you put a (dead or live) cockroach in front of me, I will run away screaming bloody murder.
12. If you EVER attempt to try number 11, I will bitch slap you so hard, your descendants will all be born with a hand-shaped print on their faces.
13. Candy makes me happy. You could make me upset, and give me cotton candy or some sweets, and I'll be cheerful again. (Please do not abuse this power.)
14. I have a slight dent near my eye from when I picked at my chicken pox as a kid.
15. I was one of those boy-band crazy little girls. I used to love Westlife, the Backstreet Boys, and N*Sync. I suppose I can pass no judgement on the kids in love with Justin Bieber and One Direction.
16. My favourite drink right now is Southern Comfort mixed with Coke.
17. I recently splurged on Gucci perfume because I thought I deserved a little treat (although the reason why varies every five minutes.)
18. I can't seem to be attracted to anyone other than Caucasians. I don't know whether that's a good thing or not.
19. I'm stupidly proud of the fact that I got Facebook ahead of most of my peers. (In late 2007.) When I got it, I could only find about 40 (or less) friends because no one else really had it then.
20. I am still largely undecided on whether I'd want to stay in the UK after my law degree. Something tells me I'd be basing that decision slightly on whether I get into a serious relationship during my undergraduate studies.
