Oh, seems like ev-ry-one is doing the 25 things, so what the hell.
I’ll try to come up with new things. No promises.
1. I was mentally unable to wear sandals until my 20’s. Now I can’t keep shoes/socks on.
2. I have a soft spot for music from the 40’s.
3. While drunk in North Carolina, I sang “Ring of Fire” at karaoke while Steve was in the bathroom.
4. I have a fear of drowning, burning to death and suffocation. I guess most people do.
5. I have faked my way through more things then I care to admit.
6. While claiming to be the Grammar Gestapo towards others, I often find my own grammar lacking.
7. In elementary school (before being moved to The Smart Kids School), I wasn’t being challenged so whenever we had to do a project, I’d always take the topic that was proclaimed to be the hardest. Subsequently, I know too much about the moon, Kenya and igloos. (remember, this was back in the day when we had to go the library and use encyclopedias). I still enjoy making dioramas.
8. Sometimes when Steve does things that annoy me (like correcting the flame for boiling water), I find it arousing.
9. I am excited and freaked-the-hell-out by the prospect of motherhood.
10. I had “Jersey Hair” from age 9 to 14-1/2.
11. When there is something I want, I put my mind to it and usually achieve it.
12. If a topic interests me, I will often research it to a point of nausea. This includes regurgitating said information to other people, to a point of nausea. Ask me about Hedgehogs or Alpacas.
13. When we first got Bailey, I didn’t like her. Now I can’t imagine my life without her. (Bailey is our dog, BTW).
14. I am afraid to talk to or see my Grandpa because I don’t want my last memory of him to be like he is… I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to remember him as he was.
15. I am a believer in the deeper meaning of dreams.
16. I used to practice Wicca but for some reason I’m not comfortable doing it in our house.
17. The one time I got my cards read, it was so accurate that I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
18. The only way for me to have a true sense of satisfaction about accomplishing something is to have it on a list, of which it can be crossed off of when complete and the list can be thrown away when totally complete.
19. I got my tattoo the day after my friend Steve died.
20. I worked in a record store for over a year, being paid in CDs and take-out.
21. Bananas make me vomit. Not just the fruit, but the smell.
22. Blond is my natural color, though back in the day, I used to dye it orange, yellow, purple, dark red, red and with henna. My hair would grow out with light roots.
23. I miss my long hair.
24. I am a bit afraid to stand up to my M-I-L when it comes to the time that we have kids and she does something I don’t approve of. But that’s a ways away, so I guess it’s not really worth worrying over.
25. Tomatoes are gross. Unless they’re in sauce, ketchup, salsa, hot sauce or sundried in bread.
And for those of you in any place but America:
Okay, who pissed off Mother Nature?
Al Gore, I’m looking at you.
Peeps is sayin'
