25 Things (From my Facebook)
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
Note: Kristen, you are the sole exception to #2. Never have I ever been inclined to think of you as fickle or undedicated.
1. When alone in my apartment I cannot wash my face or hair without locking the bathroom door because I have an irrational fear that someone is going to sneak up when my eyes are closed and stab me. Despite that, I can and do sleep soundly with the window to the fire escape open.
2. I don’t believe in supernatural things, yet I can’t help but suspect there’s something very wrong with Libras. (They’re all brilliant yet fickle and undedicated.)
3. I walk toe-to-heel.
4. I am naturally right-handed, but a learned ambidextric – I can even write well enough with my left to take notes in class. I prefer the left for most things including using a mouse, painting, and eating.
5. I sometimes raise my right arm into the air and do not realize it until I move or somebody else mentions it. I suspect that Ro sometimes ignores it just to see how long it’ll stay up there.
6. I never forget a birthday. I’ll forget your name but never your birthday.
7. I clean public restrooms.
8. My favorite books are all either 19th century fiction or written by foul-mouthed comedians.
9. I read War and Peace when I was 9. I didn’t understand a word of it; I wanted to be able to tell people that I read War and Peace when I was 9.
10. Sometimes I pick fights with people just to figure them out.
11. If I stand up too fast I lose vision in my right eye (and sometimes the left).
12. I always make excuses not to visit people when my weight is up even slightly. I find it mortifying.
13. Non-drowsy allergy meds make me sleepy.
14. I am afraid of Wii Fit asking me why I’ve gained weight (when applicable).
15. I find pumpkins adorable and feel bad when I cut into them.
16. I still color in coloring books.
17. John Madden’s voice enrages me for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on.
18. I used to have a crush on John Edwards (D-NC).
19. My favorite color is green and it bothers me that it is such an unpopular favorite color.
20. I have never in my entire life shoplifted or attempted to shoplift. I did steal $3 off my dad’s dresser once for lunch and paid it back with interest before he noticed it was gone.
21. Reality shows repulse me, and talk of them even more so.
22. My empathy is constantly on overdrive – I cry when other people cry or when I think others are or should be doing so. Just last week Ro told me someone at work lost a family member and I bawled my eyes out.
23. I once scared the guys at PC Club in Santa Rosa with my talk of how to kill Sim children using locked doors and ovens.
24. Because my mom refused to have me skip grade levels I found first grade excessively boring. I used to get in trouble on purpose so I’d be sent to the corner with the bookshelves. The teachers didn’t figure this out until I asked one of them for a different corner because I’d finished all the books in the usual one.
25. I sleep with a Cabbage Patch Doll by the name of Stanley whenever Roman isn’t home.
