25 Random Facts
1. Fact: I can burp louder than my husband Paul. This has been a sore point in our relationship.
2. I order black coffee or no-room americanos when Paul orders soy lattes. Life is a competition. Not sure what I'm competing for.
3. I have to poo with the bathroom door open, this is also to Paul's chagrin. I can't poo when I'm feeling claustrophobic and our bathroom is so small that I could clean the bathtub, wash my hands in the sink and sort the laundry while I'm going #2. I've actually tried.
4. I despise jean shopping. If I'm ever feeling too good about myself and then have to shop for a pair of jeans I become sorely humiliated, depressed and angry (its basically a grieving process. every time.) And I then force myself to remember that A: jeans were made to be worn only by women in magazines and B: i am NOT the shortest girl in the world with the tushie the size of texas...i am NOT the shortest girl in the world with a tushie the size of texas...i am NOT the shortest....girl...in...th...world...tushie...texas.... well. you get the point. basically it becomes my mantra. (or my last words prior to bursting into tears and running out of the store)
5. I broke my neck on my day off from my job as a camp counselor and after the ER visit and my complimentary neck brace I returned to camp to finish out the term, without any meds since some turd-licker took them right off the counter in my ER room and I didn't realize it till I stepped outside and the ER peeps said I'd have to check in all over again to get any pain meds. So I went without. Clearly I'm no longer bitter.
6. Some of my favorite words are: peeps, tryst, solidarity, knickers and monster. I don't care what they mean I just like the way they sound.
7. I drank my first beer in Germany.
8. Some of my least favorite words are: moist, mildew, jagular (its a word, even if its made up) and any and all naughty/mean words for girls and their parts.
9. I cycled across the states with a team of guys, the youngest, 12, had serious mommy issues and attempted to strangle me with a clothesline and the oldest, 62 was a self-obsessed, coca-cola drinking, preacher who wanted to be in every newspaper/tv interview along the state highways and benched me one day because I challenged his authority. I feel the need to mention that there were 3 other guys on the trip who were actually pretty cool and rode with me in the support van the day I was benched.
10. I'm not sure why but when I'm telling a story and I need a large random number I always pick "65".
11. 79 is my most favorite number.
12. One day after looking over Paul's shoulder while he was reading "Crime and Punishment" I wanted vodka and cherry pie for dinner.
13. I used to say that good looking guys were all kept in some warehouse and they only let them out a little at a time. I met Paul while on a blind date with his cousin during the tour his cousin was giving me of his warehouse.
14. I'm hopelessly addicted to "The Office".
15. I was addicted to CSI, the original -Las Vegas, but since they killed off Warrick, sent Sarah on a trip to Costa Rica and Grissom following after her I just can't watch it anymore. CBS, if you reading this, and I know you are...what the heck were you thinking??
16. If something in my clothes itches me it drives me crazy. I will even strip down in a public restroom stall to get to the bottom of it and if I can't fix it I will never wear it again no matter how cute or trendy it is.
17. The extent of my teenage rebellion was getting a belly ring that got infected and when forced to show my parents my dad replied, "Well, that was pretty stupid, don't you think?"
18. I have one tattoo. It doesn't count as teenage rebellion since I got it 3 years ago.
19. I once peed my pants when I was jumping on my 1st Grade crush's bean bag in his bedroom. When my mom picked me up from our play-date I was wearing his clothes. I was both embarrassed and elated.
20. I was kicked out of H.S. Geometry and English class multiple times for uncontrollable laughter.
21. I never went through the "boy's are icky phase" I did however go through a phase in 3rd grade where I thought I could be one, I stopped when my siblings asked me to stop peeing in the shower, since that was the only place I could do it standing up, because for some reason I thought that was all it took.
22. I also had 2 identity complexes. When I was four I thought I was Orphan Annie and insisted on calling my mom Ms. Hannigan. When I was 10 I thought I was Laura from Little House on the Pairie. I wore dresses over dresses to get the layered pinafore effect and had my mom pack my lunch in a tin pail for school. I was such a weird child.
23. By my freshman year in college I was well over my #21 phase and quite content in my own skin. I was given Landscaping for my summer job on campus. For the first two weeks the Landscaping boss sent me out to mow with the boys. The beginning of the 3rd week he sheepishly called me into his office to explain that I was to go on the rose-trimming/garden crew with the girls. He finally admitted that for the past two weeks he had thought I was a guy until some of the girls started complaining that they all wanted to mow. In all fairness, I didn't get boobs until my sophomore year. For the rest of the summer though, everyone called me J.T.T. (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) or Zack from the 'Mmmm Bop' Band.
24. When I was twelve I climbed a banana tree in Canada just to say I did. I discovered banana trees are not very climbable.
25. I have a strong desire to be an FBI agent, a Hollywood actress and a National Geographic photographer. I currently have a job that combines all of that. I am a pre-school teacher.
