When writing is hard and my thoughts are scattered, it always seems like a good idea to churn out a list. So, on that note:
I hate 3D movies. I don’t particularly like IMAX movies. 3D IMAX is an unnecessary nightmare of magnificent proportions.
I don’t particularly like Facebook, ESPECIALLY during election “season.” I’ve not signed on since July, and I’ve not really missed it, most of the time.
I love to cook, like, I really love it. I love trying out new recipes and I love making them up as I go.
I don’t like competition, it doesn’t drive or motivate me, I don’t care if I come in 1st, or 2nd, or 17th. Don’t care. Am just here for the experience.
I consider “family” as anyone/everyone who has your back, and those who don’t…honestly, I’m kind of okay writing them off as acquaintances, not family.
I cry. A lot. And I am not embarrassed about that (most of the time). I cry when I’m happy, or sad, or scared, or otherwise emotional, or for no reason whatsoever that is immediately discernible.
I’m not afraid of many things. I have anxiety like nobody’s business, but phobias? Not so much. I really don’t like the idea of sharks, I’ve never met a shark, so I can’t really state definitively “I hate sharks” but…I probably hate sharks. I am super skeezed out by praying mantises. Praying mantii? Whatever. Their tilty heads and creepy claws…nope. Nope, nope, nope. I am freaked out by zombies and aliens and unnecessarily loud noises, but, everyone is jumpy about that stuff, right?
I will almost always send or prefer to receive a text over a phone call. Or an email. Except, well, unless it’s a big deal, or you need emotional support, or it’s a birthday.
I have zero games on my phone…I have never had a game on my phone, actually, not since the days of Nokia and that awesome snake game. I realize you can probably download that same game to a fancy smart phone…but I don’t have any inclination to do so. Shrug.
I usually consider the glass half empty. Or maybe 60% empty. I’m a realist with a side of pessimism and, occasionally, a sunny disposition.
I don’t particularly love math, but I also took home a silver medal during a state math competition…so…there’s that.
I used to be known for my shoes, a different pair of heels every day, they were darling. I had a SHOE BLOG at one point for heaven’s sake. I still wear heels to work, cute heels, even, but after a ton of creepy fetishisty emails about my feet, uh, no more shoe blog.
I swear. A lot. I didn’t utter a single swear word until I was in my early 20’s, and until I was 30 I could count the number of F-bombs I’d dropped on one hand. It used to be a point of pride, how little I cursed…I don’t really care anymore. Sometimes you just need a good swear word. Or twelve.
What about you? Any list of random facts you’d care to unload?
I miss your shoe blog! But creepy foot fetish people – eww.
Oh man, it got BAAAAD. SO many creepy emails of people making super gross comments, asking for additional pictures of my feet, asking me to wear a certain type of shoe and THEN take a send a picture of my feet….it was just too much. Blergh.

I love the math one. And I hate 3D movies because I’m super jumpy and also, 3D glasses over regular glasses are a pain.
Two things about me that usually gets people going, “huh,”: I’ve never been drunk, never plan to, and I may be Dutch but the only place I’ve ever smoked weed was in Utah. (This might not work for a Mormon audience, though.)
Haaa! Your two things! I’m dying of the giggles!

I have yet to see a 3D movie! I don’t get to movies very often and just don’t see the point.
I am super competitive, but it has toned down a bit in the last couple of years. Once I raced my law school friend in who could fill up their blood donation bag faster (I won). 🙂
Re: 3D movies. NOT WORTH IT!
Re: filling a blood bag….yeeeah, they were worried that my blood bag would be at room temp too long and be unusable…me and my veins are NOT on good terms. Ha!
