I got one of those silly challenges on Facebook (thanks Sara) to list 25 Things about myself. Since I'm going to be a little busy this morning, I'll share it with y'all in lieu of an actual post. Study it, there will be a test later.
25 Things about me:
#1 I prefer barefoot to any type of shoe.
#2 Baking helps me keep from murdering people. Which is why I bake so much during the holidays.
#3 I'm absolutely positive I've seen a ghost.
#4 I have a mild form of OCD, I have rituals I have to do entering and leaving a room, before starting or turning off the momvan, and walking into a new building. It doesn't affect my life beyond making me a little more weird.
#5 My first dog's name was Tuffy, but I wanted to name him Taffy. I had a head cold.
#6 I almost flunked kindergarten because I wouldn't color inside the lines. I could read on a 6th grade level, but I couldn't conform.
#7 In 6th grade, we had to choose between band and choir. I chose band, my band director suggest I check out choir. I ended up being able to play 6 instruments.
#8 I'm terrified of moths. The Mothman Prophecy is one of my nightmare movies.
#9 I still skip when I walk sometimes.
#10 I really suck at face-to-face relationships because of social anxiety. Great online, but face-to-face, I clam up.
#11 I'm really not a cat person.
#12 I love gardening, canning and seeing shelves full of food that I produced.
#13 I didn't realize how boring I am until I tried to think of 25 things.
#14 I would love to be a runner, but I don't have the discipline or a good enough sports bra.
#15 I would love to sail, but I get seasick in the bathtub.
#16 I know for a fact that #22 on Sara Szabo's list is bullshit. (She said she types more than she talks).
#17 I am dibilitatingly claustrophobic and can't wear turtleneck sweaters because I panic when I try to put one on.
#18 I spontaneously dance anywhere, anytime, much to my family's chagrin.
#19 I have a weakness for soldiers/warriors.
#20 I'd rather watch Black Hawk Down or 300 than any chick flick.
#21 I've seen Rocky Horror Picture Show at least 60 times.
#22 I'll watch Disney movies even after the Cute Chicks get bored and wander off.
#23 Yes, I cry at Disney/Pixar movies. If you didn't cry during Up!, I don't want to know you.
#24 I have an oral fixation and go through Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops like Whitney Houston went through crack.
#25 I'm thinking about going back to college for something marketable.
So, there you have it. Hope you feel closer to me, I know I do. :-)
The only thing marketable about going back to college is teaching people who are going back to college.
ReplyDeleteYou can quote me.
RE #22 and 23, have you watched "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou" yet? I really do think you'd enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteJapanese with English subtitles only, unfortunately.(I was a bit upset with Sentai Filmworks when I found out they'd decided not to dub it.)
I tried to feel closer to you, but then you had to go and file that restraining order. :(
ReplyDelete#21
ReplyDeleteIn my early twenties, I would dress up like Riff Raff and get into Rocky Horror for free. Tux jacket, balding with blond hair on my shoulders. When Glee did RD I pissed off my "cool daughter" by knowing all the words and singing along. Not something a bald fat white guy should do.
Amen, re # 17
ReplyDeleteI suffer major gag reflex seeing others wear them.
I always dressed up as Magenta!
ReplyDeleteExcellant Nonconformity at an early age... That way you miss all the indoctrination...
ReplyDeleteYer Good!
ReplyDeleteMe, not so much.
My problem is that I'm too young to retire, yet I'm too physically FU'd to do the things I'm good at. Thanks to drunk drivers and my own stupidity.
Oh girl, marry me, I don't like normal, but I don't like ultra weird either, you are just right... but,if you truly were OCD, you would spell it CDO... And not being a cat person , hallelujah! What more does a man need?
ReplyDeleteYew better watch that Cedriq guy...oh yeah, you're just right. Seriously, how many times have you heard that before?
ReplyDeleteYer big Bro, Sarthurk
Do we get to see Sara's list?
ReplyDeleteI conformed most of the way through state-run school. While daydreaming about getting even. Unfortunately for those dreams, I am now a libertarian (no aggression allowed).
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how I could come up with 25 things about me without making stuff up.
Bah, why is there nae aboot yer favorite calibre(s), the preferred launch platforms for same*, yer preferred kilt plaid and sporran cover, etc. You know, the really important stuff one should know about a lassie.
ReplyDeleteOch, Angel lass, we hardly know ye ...
Och, Ian, those are things best discussed over a pint. Or two.
ReplyDelete#12 is basically is analogy for everything today.
ReplyDeleteSome dipshit who thinks they know better than ourselves.
-milo

ReplyDeleteCed... nope.
