My 25 Random Things

Taken from facebook (I've already done enough contemplative writing for one day!)

1. I am a serious procrastinator.

2. I read about a book a week, but can't spell to save my life.

3. I have a short attention span and don't even know if I can make it through writing one of these (I have trouble taking the time to READ one of these!)

4. Chipotle and W.G. Grinders is food from heaven.

5. I don't usually cook with meat and chicken absolutely disgusts me.

6. I am a freak of nature medically (it's OK to say this, I have made peace with it!) my latest adventure in the grand scheme of my freaky-ness? having my gallbladder removed and stents placed in my pancreatic and common blie ducts (yes, the same surgery your grandparents have had)

7. My dad is (partially) first generation American (born in Kentucky, lived in Taiwan till a teen and moved to US) and sometimes calls things funny words like "kerchief" for scarf. One time he asked, "What are those little birds called with the red breasts?" That would be a robin, dad:)

8. I love to design things on the computer, as I say, I'm spatial.

9. I have a giant fear of balloons and want to escape ASAP whenever I am near one (or start to cry, whichever comes first)

10. Sometimes I have to check behind the shower curtain to make sure no one is hiding in there.

11. I have TMJ and have to push my left jaw to open my mouth sometimes (see #6)

12. I've been a sweet adeline for 10 years (think women, barbershop singing, false eyelashes and sequins and you've got the picture)

13. I believe that I am qualified as a nurse, a detective, and a psychologist.

14. I am super-allergic to many things including trees, nuts, metal, cats, the list goes on and on (again, refer to #6)

15. I have two brothers and we all share the same humor and musical tastes (for the most part)

16. I like to sing (and actually teach singing) but only took one semester of vocal training in college. I am really an instrumentalist and can (only very basically) play every instrument (you should see my violin playing picture, I am tres professional)

17. I hate checking my mail.

18. I have a cat that can hum.

19. (Are we almost done here?) I am super competitive.

20. I played field hockey in high school (or more accurately, I was on the field hockey team!)

21. I actually filter what I say. I know this is hard to believe, but what I say on the outside is actually only half of what I am thinking on the inside.

22. I don't have a tv in my bedroom.

23. I pick at the skin by my thumbs when I am nervous. If you want to know the state of my well being, look at my thumbs!

24. I was a girl scout for 12 years and earned my Gold Award (Eagle Scout equivalent)

25. (Yea, we're finally at the end!!!) LOVE What Not To Wear but don't practice it's values in real life (who has $200 to spend on a skirt, not a music teacher that's for sure)
