11×11 | I’ve been tagged

My Girl Brooke recently tagged me in a post, so I have been thinking for days to oblige :)

The rules:

1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
3. Answer the questions set for you in their post.
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them you’ve tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about you are tagged if you are reading this. You legitimately have to tag 11 people.

11 RANDOM THINGS:
1. I had eye surgery before I was a year old
2. My ears were pierced when I was 4, with a needle and a potato. I kept the earrings in for 8 years.
3. My first concert I ever went to was John Denver. I was 11.
4. From the time I was 10, I had planned on living in Paris. Yes, Paris. I even studied French.
5. I used to play the violin and still pick it up from time to time.
6. I didn’t move to Paris. I moved to the Netherlands. My french is out the window, but I speak Dutch.
7. I used to meet bands all the time. Even in the Netherlands I meet bands. It’s like a sort of magnet, although I don’t go to gigs very much anymore.
8. I’m a direct descendant of Friedrich Wilhelm II. Really.
9. I can’t stand brussel sprouts and will identify them by my gag reflex if you try to hide them in my food or sneak them in a bite of something out in a restaurant.
10. I started collecting Hello Kitty things before it was cool to collect Hello Kitty things. I even brought with me to the Netherlands the first HK item I ever bought.
11. My hair colour is really almost black (or at least it was before I got old) even though most people in my family are light brown, blonde or redheads.
