So. Dan has done two things on his blog that are copy-worthy. For boys, it's the contests. Compete with others to name the songs that we give you lyrics to. For girls, it's the "Talk about yourself" lists. Dan's friend Jess, now me.
1) I am reluctant to use antibacterial soap. It's really a matter of people needing to wash their hands better.
2) I get irritated by improper use of between. Something happens between two people. Something occurs among three or more.
3) Sometimes when I get really really excited, I get an odd feeling in my stomach and may often squeal/make an odd yelping noise. I can't help it.
4) I've never watched Dirty Dancing all the way through. I don't intend to, either. Go ahead, take away my rights as a girl, or something.
5) As far back as I can remember, I have wanted to be a scientist of some sort.
6) Medieval art gives me chills. Literally.
7) My cousins, my brother and myself are all spaced evenly in age. Heather=30, David= 25, Me= 20, Neil= 15.
8) I have 5 blood related uncles but only one blood related aunt.
9) I've grown 3/4" since coming to college. That puts me at 5'8 and 3/4".
10) Being in areas without mountains too long makes me crazy. I would do terribly on the Great Plains.
11) When I am bored in class, I tug on my eyebrows.
12) Mushrooms initiate my gag reflex. Literally.
13) I've never been further west than North Dakota in the contiguous US.
14) I'm 99.9% sure I'm legally blind without my glasses.
15) I can't walk in high heels. Besides, when you're my height, what's the point?
16) Frozen spit on sidewalks is a giant pet peeve of mine.
17) I've attempted physical activities (also known as "sports") but never follow through. Things I have quit: basketball, ballet, track & field. I am now a sedentary mofo.
18) I have often been asked, "Did you play basketball in high school? Volleyball, then?"
19) I've been told that I look older than I really am. But I have just as often been told the opposite.
20) I hate Jack Hanna and Steve Irwin. They give biology a bad name.
21) I was born on my dad's birthday.
22) Even though I was raised in the 80s, I don't remember anything about the Thundercats, He-man or Transformers.
23) Speaking of bad memory, I pretty much don't remember anything in my life before the age of 5.
24) I taught myself how to knit. And I didn't throw the needles across the room any more than 5 times.
25) While mix CDs are a good sentiment, I still prefer mix tapes. They seem much more like a labor of love.
26) I can't sleep with socks on.
27) My favorite book to read again and again, my comfort book, is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
28) The oldest article of clothing that I own (purchased new) is a purple tank top that I got in 6th grade. I can still wear it, and refuse to get rid of it.
29) I have a shitload of Star Wars action figures. Like, approaching 100. Probably more.
30) I have to cut up all the meat on my plate before I can start eating any meal.
31) I have the infuriating habit of blinking in every flash photo taken of me. Dozens can attest.
32) I own a cell phone, but I detest using it. Scratch that. I hate inappropriate use of cell phones. Specifically, "Where you at?"
33) When I get bored and I have a pen in my hand, I always draw the same pattern on each finger. A line right at the bottom of my nail, with 3 dots above the line.
34) My mom says that so many of my mannerisms remind her of my dad that it sorta freaks her out.
35) I used to be incredibly addicted to IM, but my usage of the medium has drastically dropped this year. This makes me happy, as I'm no longer a slave to my computer. This makes me sad because I don't talk to friends from home as much.
36) The only sports that seem to keep my attention are hockey, and I swear to God, I'm not kidding, curling. It's oddly captivating. Maybe ice is the crucial factor.
37) 37!!!!!!!!
38) I have periods of time where I take way too many online quizzes.
39) In situations where I am listening to someone talk/vent, I always say "right" as a response. Perhaps too much.
40) When I lay down to sleep, I have to lay on my left side.
41) Every wedding I've been to I've participated in.
42) Whenever I thought of something interesting to have put on this list, I more often than not was without something to write the idea down on.
43) Lima beans are my favorite vegetable.
44) One day in high school I decided I didn't like how my d's looked, so I changed it so I write them without the tail. This impresses me because I usually can never make that sort of habit stick.
45) I've been mistaken for a boy at least 5 times. To my knowledge.
46) When I eat bite-size things, I have to alternate sides I chew on. I have to start with the left side of my mouth, and preferably end on the right.
47) I'm beginning to think I might be slightly obsessive-compulsive.
48) As I often count stairs when I descend/ascend.
49) I do the Utt hand motion. Observable in my now deceased great grandmother, my grandfather, my mother, and now myself. It is the simple act of pawing the air when explaining something, or saying "Oh, pshaw, forget that."
50) I almost went to school in Canada.
51) I've been to Austria, England, France, Germany, Italy, Jamaica, and Lichtenstein.
52) I am a compulsive buyer of plants and books.
53) Independence Day is my favorite holiday.
54) According to AJ, I think I'm a much worse driver than I actually am.
55) I hate it when people eat while they're talking on the phone.
56) I love colors arranged in rainbow patterns. This doesn't make me gay.
57) I use "like" too much in conversation. Much more now than when I was a teenager.
58) My left hand has gone through a glass window. It was three days before Christmas, and my brother was trying to shut me out of the house. I went to stop the door with my hand, meaning to hit the wood, but instead it went through. I had to run to the neighbor's for help. When mom came home, she knew where we were by following the blood trail in the snow.
59) I am a klutz. I constantly run into doorframes, bump my knees on coffee tables, and stub toes.
60) My limbs/fingers are freakishly long. In some cases, they are longer than people who are taller than me.
61) I don't wear makeup.
62) There are only 6 shows I can watch without getting bored. Powerpuff Girls, Gilmore Girls, Simpsons, Friends, Daily Show, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
63) I am totally in love.
64) I am a cat person.
65) I heart evolution. Don't slam it in my presence.
66) I think I love Tina Fey.
67) I'm going to freeze brand frogs this summer.
68) I'm grasping at straws.
69) I finally made it to my goal!
Things are probably spelled wrong or don't make sense... |
