15 Random Facts

Because it beats an empty page when I am determined to post something. Petra suggested it.

1. Because this has come up several times in the past month, I hate chocolate and mint together. No, it is not any better in coffee either.

2. I can eat Miracle Whip straight out of the jar. I’m not saying that I ever have, I’m just saying I like it that much.

3. I don’t like black pepper.

4. I would rather listen to hip hop than Dixieland jazz, and I’m not really a big fan of hip hop.

5. I cannot creep Facebook wall conversations without giving it away that I am creeping. Haha

6. Almost turned this into a confessional post. LOL

7. I have no tattoos. I do, however, have a scarred up left hand because I am clumsy with knives. I actually have a kind of funny story about the last time I had to get stitches, but for the most part, you had to be there.

8. I weighed 131 pounds when I left for basic training. I’m 5’10”. I was a stick.

9. Had some serious puppet skills as a teen.

10. Hallucinated twice during dental visits as a kid. Ah, fun times.

11. Has neither read the books nor watched the movies of the Twilight series nor do I have any desire to.

12. Has a weakness for Shakespeare’s sonnets. Hmm, ok, that’s kind of confessional.

13. Could only watch Blackhawk Down once.

14. Sometimes mixes writing styles in the middle of a post and refuses to adjust for consistency.

15. Can’t listen to The Nutcracker Suite without the urge to imitate the orchestra’s conductor…particularly around my children.

And I am every bit as boring as I thought when I am not being confessional. LOL

And I haven’t spell/grammar or otherwise proofed this.

Just before bed update: 16. I HATE talking on the telephone.

Yes I know now the title doesn’t match, but I meant to include that one about the phone and got distracted and forgot until I was driving home. haha

    I had a drug dream/hallucination at the dentist as a kid as well! Astronauts and a merry go round is all I remember but it was totally awesome. 🙂

      I can remember opening my eyes, and Dr Bryan was Darth Vader. I looked over at his tech (whose name I can never remember), and she was a white duck with a squared off wooden beak. I thought it was cool. Then another time I had more of an out-of-body experience. I was on the ceiling watching them work on me. I was like 17 or 18 the last time he gave me laughing gas, and I had a “bad trip” that time.

      6. Maybe I should put up the big one that came up out of Chapter 8? hahaha
