25 things

everyone on facebook is posting those slightly annoying, slightly interesting '25 random things about yourself' notes.

here's mine.

1. I have baby fever, yet I still question whether or not I want to raise children.
2. I become really, really uncomfortable if I accidentally hear people I know having sex.
3. I only get a really good night's sleep in complete silence and complete darkness.
4. I wish I had been more disciplined when trying to learn guitar years ago.
5. The smell of chilies roasting over fire is my favorite smell. Ever.
6. I wish I believed in God. It seems to comfort a lot of people.
7. I have a scar above one of my eyes that only my parents can see -- and it's usually when I'm coming down with an illness that they notice it. I got this scar when I fell down cement stairs at my Aunt's wedding when I was four.
8. My earliest memories include my great Aunt's funeral, my mother's cat being hit by a car, and my neighbor paddling me for throwing sand at her daughter. Oddly enough, I was a very happy child!
9. I become jealous of really weird things -- like couples that seem really happy and functional.
10. I really enjoy reading, but I'm more inclined to watch movies because I find it easier to insert my own life into the plot.
11. I love dancing. It always makes me happy. Someday I'd like to learn actual dance steps.
12. I secretly judge people who use poor grammar when they speak.
13. I am really really bad at math.
14. I regret not trying harder in college the first time around.
15. I am addicted to coffee, and will warm up the same cup full up to seven times.
16. I am horribly afraid of vomit, yet have no issues cleaning up urine, feces, or blood -- with gloves, of course.
17. I have difficulties focusing on the problem at hand if the person explaining it is long-winded.
18. I like my hands and feet for some reason.
19. I wrecked my friend's motorcycle once, and have no desire to ever ride one again.
20. I have spent time in jail.
21. An exboyfriend once threatened to tell my father that my mother was having an affair so that I wouldn't break up with him. (My mom wasn't really unfaithful, FYI.)
22. I am not the world's best gift-giver. I think it's the pressure, really.
23. I often think if I buy a specific item (electronic, accessory, cd) that my life will make more sense. I often wish someone would talk me out of this trait.
24. I hate corndogs, but I like corn bread, and I like hot dogs.
25. I do not like not wearing underwear. (except for showering, a good romp, etc.)


And that's that.

the blogger refuses to recognize my LJ screen name today.

6. I know what you mean. But I take comfort in knowing no omniscient being judges my private behavior. Which as you can imagine, is just, oh, loathsome.

14. At least you tried a million times harder than I did.

17. This reminds me of the time that I took my car to the shop in Leland one day a few blocks from the library and it was sunny out so I walked, but by the time I got off work that night it was freezing so I had Kat drop me off. Now, I'm a pretty cold natured guy, always wearing at least a couple of layers when I'm at work. And the people are always giving me shit about it but fuck them. Working with the public is fine but I don't have to put up with their random judgment calls, you know? Anyway, where was I? Oh right, I get to the mechanic, and he forgot to put my spare key above the mirror. At this point I'm fucking stranded in Leland, right? My girlfriend at the time has the other key. We were having problems at the time I got the car and my stepdad was all "Don't give her the other key!" but I'm a hell of a sap, as you know, so I gave it to her, and what thanks did I get? Another year of weirdness and discomfort on the few occasions she came home. She saved my ass that night, though. Anyway, uh... what was my point again?

20. I bet I know why.

24. I completely and 100% agree with every part of this crucial statement. You like the Trolley Stop?

fun! ok now I'm tempted to do one of these but I talk so damn much I think everyone already knows everything about me.
