If you're on Facebook, by now you've finally succumbed to filling out the ever-present list, "25 Random Things About Me." I resisted for a while, but finally gave in after being tagged by more than 3/4 of my friend list. Here is my list:
1. Growing up, I wanted to be an astronaut, a veterinarian or a jet pilot. Now I just want to be Anderson Cooper.
2. I have a bad habit of flushing the toilet while still peeing.
3. Madonna was the first album I've ever owned and Poison was my first concert.
4. I could listen to Pearl Jam's "Ten" and Counting Crow's "August and Everything After" everyday for the rest of my life.
5. I've been to random places such as Siberia and Mongolia, yet haven't been to Mexico, Canada or even Las Vegas.
6. In grade school, I was a state award-winning artist...now I can barely draw stick figures.
7. Whenever I pack a lunch for work, it's ALWAYS: ham and cheese sandwich on oatnut bread, cottage cheese, yogurt, all natural apple sauce and a banana.
8. Everyday, for the past two years, I've randomly looked at the clock when it is exactly 8:24. My birthday is also August 24th.
9. I rarely ever cry in real life, but I'm easily teared up by movies, music or other media (keep the Sally Struthers commercials AWAY from me).
10. I ditched my second day of kindergarten. My younger brother found me hiding under the stairs and told my mom. She brought me back to school and my teacher, Miss Messina, bent down holding a notecard with our word of the day on it: met.
11. I don't understand how people can be so ignorant or lazy to distinguish between your and you're.
12. I'm baffled that the word 'facebook' comes up as spelled wrong on facebook.
13. I almost fell to my death while horizontally scaling a wall in Siberia on a hike.
14. I have a hard time falling asleep without a fan running.
15. My favorite color is light blue and most of the time I'm wearing something with that color somewhere on it.
16. I think cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt are the perfect foods.
17. My first crush was Stevie Nicks. STAND BACK.
18. I'm sad that two of my closest friends moved to Texas last year.
19. The first girl I ever asked out (in 6th grade) told me no. She later went on to write in my yearbook, "P.S. I will never go out with you." She's now a friend of mine on facebook.
20. I won't answer my phone if a name does not come up.
21. My brothers convinced me I was adopted the first ten years of my life because I don't look like them.
22. I think about and miss my younger brother everyday.
23. I despise tomatoes, yet love all tomato products.
24. I have an borderline obsession with maps and feel disoriented if I don't know which way is north.
25. My next travel destination is Iceland.
