25 things you didn't know about me
So everyone is doing this on Facebook, and I thought why not bring it over to LJ.
1. I never forget a name or a face or the circumstances of how I met someone, and this is especially true for the people in my life closest to me.
2. I rarely forgive or forget. In time things tend to lost their importance so I either move on or I end contact with that person.
3. However, I usually waive the no-forgive-no-forget policy with most of my friends. I will put up with almost anything a friend does because I'm one of those friends-for-life type people.
4. I have never actually broken a bone. I've chipped and bruised a bone, and I guess bones were broken when I had braces and teeth pulled, but up to now, I've been lucky enough to never have anything break by accident.
5. I really hate my nails. They're fan-shaped and ungraceful and not strong enough and always dirty.
6. I am afraid of insects to an almost comical degree. I prefer not to be in a room is a housefly is in it. I consider the room property of the housefly in that case. Obviously I have great trouble killing insects as well, but I'm trying to overcome the fear because I can't keep letting the bugs win.
7. My first concert ever was O-Town when I was almost 13. Vlada and I had a frank discussion over which one of us Ashley Parker Angel looked at (A: neither, of course).
8. I have this creepy obsession with finding out what my elementary school classmates are up to these days. So far two people have had a baby.
9. I am actually a really good driver, but that's just the problem: I'm too good. I follow all the rules to the letter which means everyone else on the road is going faster than me and flipping me off when they pass me. I haven't driven in over a year, but this summer I promise to get my damn G2 so I can enjoy the thrill of going somewhere not on a bus line.
10. I love salad and vegetables in general.
11. I wear out my shoes pretty quickly because of a combination of a weird walk and a penchant for low-quality footwear.
12. I get annoyed when people give me uninformed medical suggestions, especially in relation to my skin. To my knowledge no one who's suggested a "cure" or "treatment" for the acne that I've had for years was a dermatologist.
13. I consider myself a sort of culinary inventor. It's a trait I inherited from my dad. The best thing I ever came up with was mint tea with Ovaltine and milk. Don't hate.
14. I'm bad at all sports, including chess, card games, video games and pool.
15. I love geography.
16. If I could do anything for a living I'd do something with gems or precious stones. Not necessarily for the monetary value but because I like cool rocks.
17. Despite #14 I really enjoyed SimTower as a kid and am sad they never released a version for modern computers.
18. My life would have a gaping hole in it if cheese ceased to exist.
19. I regret not sending in my writing portfolio to journalism schools. If I had to choose my biggest regret ever, it would probably be that.
20. I've always wanted to get a tattoo but could never decide on a design for an extended period of time.
21. For the first time in my life I'm taking school seriously.
22. I never forget to floss.
23. I enjoy living in the city and I don't think a big city could ever bore me.
24. If I had a superpower, it would be fluency in all languages.
25. whores. Too easy.
