25 Random Things

C tagged me on this note on Facebook so of course I must respond. I can't resist anything that includes making lists of things. I'm OCD like that.

Here are 25 random things about me:

  1. When I was in elementary school I wanted to change my name to Robin.
  2. In High School I dyed my hair green. Stupidest. Idea. Ever.
  3. My High School boyfriend was Mormon. He is the only Mormon I've dated even though I lived in Utah for 5 years.
  4. I have a semi-photographic memory. This helped a lot during my non-studying college years. I can close my eyes and remember how the textbook page looked and the info will come to me. It's weird, but awesome.
  5. I have a secret for PostSecret. But, I'm trying to change so it becomes irrelevant and I can throw it away and never send it.
  6. I'm an ESTJ.
  7. I don't understand the need of people my age to have really nice cars. In fact, I judge your fancy car and prefer my dependable one.
  8. I could possibly be the only person in the world that hates the way it smells after a rain shower.
  9. My favorite type of pop is Diet Dr. Pepper. But, I don't really drink it anymore. And yes, I say "pop."
  10. I hate inspirational quotes and sappiness in general.
  11. At one time I had a total of 7 piercings.
  12. I can't whistle, tread water or do a cartwheel.
  13. I wanted to join the Peace Corps but an overzealous recruiter freaked me out so I didn't. I still regret that decision.
  14. I think that the most attractive man in the world is Clive Owen.
  15. My sleep is of a much higher quality if done with something covering my head. Usually a pillow, but I've used random items of clothing in a pinch.
  16. I would rather have a new book than a new outfit.
  17. I can spend hours reading blogs written by strangers.
  18. I'm overly competitive. If you write a better "25 random things" list I just might rewrite mine to beat you out.
  19. I once had surgery on my knee cartilage. One week after getting off crutches I re-tore it.
  20. I am only in contact with one person that I went to High School with.
  21. I have never believed in God.
  22. My mom is the best cook that I know. I hope to become the best baker that you know.
  23. Multiple people have thought that I was a lesbian. I never really understood where this came from. In case you did: I'm not.
  24. I can't stop biting my fingernails. I'm 27.
  25. Once I got lost in the mountains overnight. I was completely terrified but pretended to laugh it off.

PS. I'd love to know 25 random things about you. Or just one or two.

    25 Random Things… just for you Jackie and because this is much better than working.

    1. When I was young I wanted to change my name to Donna – after DJ on Full House
    2. I only had two non-mormon friends in high school, but fit in because I was so conservative anyway and didn’t really mind most of the time
    3. I can snowblow my driveway and only eat shit once and learn my lesson
    4. I have a photographic memory
    5. When I can’t go to sleep at night instead of singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall, I sing 99 horses in the barn – it’s my own version
    6. I haven’t drank soda for a year now and don’t plan on drinking it again
    7. My grandpa is my hero and the funniest person I know
    8. I used to stay as far away from religion because of the LDS culture and the hypocritical people I had been surrounded by
    9. There is only one person I truly hate
    10. I had a wake up call last year only two people know about and changed my life drastically after it
    11. I am competitive. End of story. Jackie and I should always be on the same team to save our friendship.
    12. I will get a boob job after I have children
    13. I have a rare medical condition that only 3 doctors in the country are experts on and one of them is actually here in Utah
    14. I DESPISE hypocrites
    15. I love ultimate cage fighting and Rock of Love on cable and bless DVR
    16. I paint my toenails once a week and my fingernails every 2 days.
    17. I have OCD and those of you who messed up my closet and bed in college know all about it. It has gotten worse over the years.
    18. I don’t believe the marriage of people from two different religions or ethnic backgrounds can survive
    19. I love cupcakes. Who doesn’t?
    20. Graduate school is not all it’s cracked up to be, especially at a R1 institution
    21. Even if I had all the money in the world I would start an equestrian rehabilitation facility for people who have been paralyzed later in life
    22. I pick my hair. Thank goodness it’s thick because if it wasn’t I’d be bald by now.
    23. I will not watch horror movies. The last one I saw was in college and I still hate Jackie for making me see it.
    24. I used to cut my own hair when I was little then hide it in the top of my closet. I forgot about it until my mom found piles of it when they cleaned out my room after I got a house.
    25. You can make my laugh so hard I cry if you tell me a joke about farting. I’m not joking.
