25 Facts About Me

1.  In a musical there is almost always one song I don’t like (and my sister finds much amusement in this).
2.  The shirts in my closet are organized by color.
3.  One day I would like to find something I can be so passionate about that I will become an expert.
4.  As a child I wanted to be an archeologist with a focus in paleontology so I could dig up the dinosaurs I loved reading about.  If I couldn’t be that I wanted to be a secretary because going to the moon in one of those little capsules was not an option.
5.  In fifth grade I killed a fly in mid air with a ruler.
6.  I cannot stand repetition but I can reread a book a hundred times.
7.  I spell ‘theatre’ the British way … much to the confusion of my friends.
8.  I cannot spell ‘similar’.  I ALWAYS spell it ‘simular’ … which evidently means ‘one who simulates’.
9.  I like eating my round candies (MnMs, Junior Mints, Skittles) in twos ...
10.  … and I like it even better to eat my candies in color order … but not the whole bag usually, just by the handful.
11.  I am not a morning person and loathe speaking in the morning.  I will do whatever I can and use all of my ninja skills to avoid talking to people.
12.  Guilty pleasure movie: The Scarlet Pimpernel starring Jane Seymour, Anthony Andrews and Ian McKellen.  It is hilarious with moments of serious men in manly ponytails.  ^_^  Also, I like yelling at the screen, “You’ve been told by Magneto!”
13.  The only thing that I like now, that I did not as a child, is guacamole.
14.  I still use Neopets Standard Time to set my clocks.
15.  When I get tired I use bigger words than usual.
16.  When I am uncomfortable in a situation I often start speaking in German, despite it not being my first language and despite my lack of fluency.
17.  I’ve never been stung by a bee/wasp/etc.
18.  I’ve never broken a bone.
19.   I have no freckles on the bottom of my feet, though I do have a matched set on the top.  (Cousin Denise)
20.  My favorite food is very hard to pinpoint but I love strawberries, I love lamb and venison, I love food that has flavor.  (Julie O)
21.  For a while I convinced my sister that split pea soup is nasty.  I still think so but she has changed her mind.
22.  I will not pull out in front of a car with it’s turn signal on, no matter how slow it is going.  That is how I almost got hit in Canada.
23.  Avengers fanfiction is best with a medieval soundtrack.
24.  I have never read an Alex Rider book … but I have listened to all except the newest and I’ve seen the movie.
25.  I cannot buy tights at a department store or drugstore because their lightest shade looks like a really bad fake tan on my pale German-Irish-Oregonian legs.
