Me, Myself and I

I've recently been pushed into the world of facebook. I resisted, but ultimately there was defeat. I spent too much time typing up 25 things about myself today and decided it felt like an entry to a blog. A "get to know me" blog entry I guess. So here are 25 random things you may or may not have known, and may or may not care about. Enjoy.

1. I save spiders and put them outside. The other day I had this spider that would not get on the paper. I told him it was his fault he was going to die. RIP little spidey.

2. When Jason and I get into a wrestling match, I always believe if I will myself to be stronger, I can beat him. I must make a funny face when I decide that I AM stronger than him b/c he always starts laughing at the expression on my face. Sometimes him being distracted helps me out a little, but not enough to win.

3. Please don't put your finger in my ear. You may get slapped. You've been warned.

4. I could eat chocolate cake for breakfast. With a big glass of milk. "Dad is great... gives us chocolate cake" - Bill Cosby (I don't by the way, I just could.)

5. I never would have thought I would be interesting in politics and government. My parents didn't really talk about politics, but at some point I started paying a lot more attention. It probably would have been better for my health if I had never started paying attention.

6. I will never understand how women walk in four inch heals on an uneven surface without breaking an ankle. Did I miss the seminar?

7. I still want to learn how to play guitar.

8. I love reading. Like my mom says, when you finish a good book it is like saying goodbye to a friend. May sound corny, but it's true.

9. I've been rewatching my old favorite show Felicity (thank you Elizabeth) and Keri Russell is a great actress. She really is. I pretty much believe that if we were to meet than we would be friends.

10. I don't think I have adequate blood flow to my hands and feet. In the winter they get so ridiculously cold even when I'm all bundled up.

11. I hope my dog knows that I love her. I tell her through belly rubs. She may have been acquired on an impulse, but it turned out to be a great decision. Our house feels very empty if she isn't here.

12. I don't intimidate the kids at work. I've tried to make that mom - I'm serious, you better listen to me! - face, but it doesn't seem to affect them most of the time. Another seminar I missed? I actually checked out that face in the mirror one day. Didn't scare me.

13. I have the greatest family. That goes for immediate and extended. Fact.

14. I also have the greatest parents.

15. My iPod and I have a special relationship. It's always there for me. Waiting rooms, scary plane rides, long road trips, sleepless nights. All my favorite songs and Scrubs episodes in one place, what could be better?

16. Yogurt tastes so good, I wish it didn't make me gag.

17. I am not part of the feminist movement. Open the door for me! I promise to say thank you and mean it.

18. I have an internal clutter meter. I can stand a little clutter for a little while, but at some point it can be no more. The clutter must go. When I do get to the boiling point I'm usually pretty irritable. I'm sure Jason is fully aware of this fact.

19. I completed a book that had 534 Sudoku puzzles in it. I did them all myself and I didn't cheat once. I carried that book around with me everywhere.

20. I love that Jason gives me a kiss before work and first thing when he gets home.

21. For as long as I can remember, I cannot sleep with my hair under my neck. It feels all prickly. My hair is always all pushed up above my head. I must look ridiculous when I sleep.

22. I have a pretty good ear when it comes to pitch, but I cannot sing worth anything. That doesn't stop me from singing in my car. Sometimes I will stop when I'm sitting at a red light, but other times I don't care if someone is laughing at me. Why not brighten someone's day by making myself look like an idiot?

23. My right ear is higher than the left.

24. I love doing puzzles. I get a little obsessed.

25. I will be a mother someday.
