25 Random Things About Me
I have now been tagged thrice (Jennifer, Jeramie, Kelly) for this little exercise, so I suppose it's time to do it. I'm struggling to think of things that I haven't already written about, especially since I did something similar to this a while back, but here goes.
- I usually care more for people than they do for me. This is hard to swallow. I would probably be a lot more devastated if you died then you would be if the tables were turned. So you can rest assured that when you think no one cares, that I love you to pieces. Part of it has to do with...
- ...the fact that I have an incredible memory. I remember a lot more than most people do about each relationship, no matter how insignificant it was. Ask me what I remember about you. You'll be surprised. Sometimes I can even remember conversations verbatim.
- I am very candid and forthright. I do have some things that are secrets from most people, but I have told all of my secrets to at least one person. Just not the same person. This is probably not a good idea? I have no idea.
- I eat when I am bored and stressed. I am always bored or stressed. I am stressed when the kids are up and I am bored when they're in bed. I think I am finally finding better things to do so that I don't blow up like a balloon.
- I love performing. Public speaking doesn't frighten me.
- I think songs that talk about girls being really mean to boys are funny, even if they are supposed to be sad.
- I am a perfectionist, but my house looks like a tornado hit it?
- I have a mean streak that I have to keep an eye on all the time.
- Please don't touch my collar bone, armpit or Achilles tendon because it grosses me out.
- I can sing, play the guitar, and sort of play the piano. I played the violin briefly in elementary school and hated it.
- I am Mormon and have never made the trek to Mecca (Utah). In fact the only middle states I've really been to are Ohio and Indiana. Those don't count though, I think.
- I have no attention span whatsoever. I hate the dentist because I have to sit still for so long. It is SO boring.
- I am currently confused about what my long term goals are.
- I think boys typically make better friends than girls. However, it gets complicated after one or both of you gets married. This makes me sad.
- I was placed in a "juvenile facility" for 21 days when I was 17.
- I am a good cook, and I love food. I taught myself.
- Aside from spending my first year in California and another brief stint there senior year, I have lived in Northern Virginia my entire life.
- I PROCRASTINATE EVERYTHING. Except for confrontation.
- Today is my friend Jon's birthday. I haven't talked to him in years. We used to be inseparable, but I don't even know how to get a hold of him now. It doesn't really matter though, because he could easily find me if he wanted, but he doesn't (see #1). I hear he is going to Iraq soon, and I fear I won't ever see him again.
- Aside from the U.S. I've been to Germany, France, Iceland, and Mexico. The first 3 were on the same trip.
- I would like a slower pace of life, but I don't know how to do that.
- My wedding cake was blue. Weird, huh?
- I have been in 4 plays in the last 7 years. All musicals. It's a lot considering the thousand children I have.
- Worst years of my life: 9, 19, 29. I should've seen it coming.
- I throw things away and my family digs them out of the trash.
Oh, and I am supposed to tag 25 people to do this on their blog or myspace or facebook or whatev so...
- Jamie, because it would be a good exercise for him, but he will probably never know because he doesn't read what I write anyway.
- David, because I miss him.
- Thomas, ditto
- Keith, because I'd like to hear about his quirkiness of late.
- Sean, ditto.
- Rob, because I find him interesting.
- Liz, because she understands me.
- Kristina, because I think she may know all things.
- Vin, ditto
- Shawn, because it will be funny.
- Ben, ditto
- Dad, because it might be hard for him.
- Ali, because I wonder about that girl.
- Alison, because we live parallel lives.
- Robin, because I love her.
- Nikki, because I think she might love this crap.
- Hillary, because I want to know the real Hills.
- Raphaele, because I wonder how she's doing.
- Danielle, because I worry and wonder what she is up to.
- Dan, because he's got some interesting random things.
- Jonathan, because he is so private.
- Susan, because I miss her phone calls.
- Megan, because I wonder what she's been up to.
- Rodrigo, because he is mysterious.
