Facebook

Facebook has this thing going around where people are asking other people to write 25 Random Things about themselves. I was at a coffee meeting this morning where two people I'd like to believe I have nothing in common with said they'd NEVER do something like that so naturally I had to do it.

Here goes. (And you can send yours to me if ya wanna.)

1. I’m the one who likes “French Burnt Peanuts”.
2. While my dog is clearly extremely well taken care of, I have a hard time successfully refrigerating celery even WITH the appropriate Tupperware celery holder.
3. I buy scented candles because I like the smell but I rarely burn them.
4. I have not yet died from refilling water bottles.
5. I meditate at the Laundromat watching my clothes go around.
6. I have a preferred type of dental floss. The fluffy kind.
7. I still can’t wear black socks ever since I was required to wear them as part of a former career.
8. I was never able to nap until I started teaching and then I had to and now I’m a junky although I can’t sleep in a chair.
9. I buy those really good stuffed animals at the thrift store because I feel sorry for them. It’s more like adoption. And they’re not for my dog.
10. I’m no good at slot machines because it makes me think of laundry quarters. (See #5)
11. I never know what to say when people compliment my all natural fingernails.
12. I have been a professional proofreader but if I over think it? I regularly screw up my own quotation marks.
13. I want a tattoo but the real problem is I think I’ll probably want 100 tattoos so I’m not getting one.
14. I had my nose pierced until one day I didn’t and that seemed as cool as having had it pierced.
15. My favorite color is red but I can’t live in it, I need blue.
16. My dog is trained to jump up and kiss me when I get home.
17. I make everyone at the post office wait in line behind me while I pick out the best stamps.
18. I wish there were sprinkles for broccoli.
19. While I appreciate oatmeal from a distance, I can’t swallow it.
20. The section of the library where I have read all the books on the shelf is called ‘beauty-personal’ but I hate putting makeup on a clean face.
21. I make sure to thank the person that bags my groceries and it’s weird how they don’t expect it.
22. I hate mums because they are the killers of summer.
23. I tried to take a photo of a naked lady drawing that had been done with someone’s finger in the salt on a minivans back window while I was driving on the expressway. Twice.
24. In the summer, if I want to feel rich, I drive around with the AC on and the windows open which is of course environmentally schtoopid so I try not to want to feel rich very often.
25. I appreciate the powers of bleach.
