silly facebook thing
Rules:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. And I know some of you have probably been tagged already, send me your note anyway.
(To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your home page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I can't stand it when the toilet paper roll is facing so the paper comes from underneath. It goes over the top.
2. I get freaked out when streetlights go out when I drive or walk past them. Clearly this is some supernatural goings on thats obviously trying to signal me for some message. Inevitably coupled with the sharp pang of fear through my chest.
3. I don't read as much as I used to. Not because I enjoy reading any less, but when I read I HAVE to do it all in one sitting, and I adopt the idiosyncrasies and the language of the author. Describing things with overly elaborate words and phrases that no one really uses in everyday life. It makes me feel foggy and oddly detached from life. I also have an extremely severe problem separating fiction from reality in relation to books.
4. On the same note, I adopt the weird quirks of my friends depending on who I'm hanging out with. Mirroring their motions subconsciously and picking up on their phrases. I tend to shift towards the way they form thoughts and their line of thinking. (Which is probably why I absolutely love hanging out with Anthony. If I could be stuck in anyone's head for a day....)
5. I have a weird relationship with food with odd textures. I can't stand tapioca pudding or cottage cheese. Though I enjoy the taste of both, the texture makes me gag. The chunky parts make me think of spoiled milk. The opposite is true of peanut butter. Creamy peanut butter makes me choke, but I adore the chunky kind. But only JIF. If it's not JIF, I won't touch it. Also, knife for peanut butter, spoon for jelly. No exceptions.
6. I am completely terrified of thunderstorms and other severe weather. I panic and can't breathe. I had a dream once when I was really little, couldn't have been more than 7-8. I couldn't describe it to you to save my life but it had to do with a storm killing people and I can STILL see it in my head clear as day. Every time I have a nightmare or other bad dream, the terrifying part of it always has to do with a storm. For this reason I am completely convinced that I will die in a storm. I just don't know when.
7. I cannot STAND walking in front of a group of people or whoever I'm with. If the path is such that it becomes necessary to walk single file, i HAVE to be behind at least one person. If not, I constantly turn around to check that they're still there. I believe this stems from being 7 years old and in New York City with my mom and my grandmother. Walking in front of the two of them, they stopped to look at something in Central Park and I kept walking. Only to turn around a minute later and no one was there.
8. I always prefer walking in step with people. The closer I am to them personally, the more I feel compelled to be in step.
9. I sort any food or small object by color and then by size. If it's candy, I then eat them in reverse order and in even numbers, one on each side of my mouth. Usually skipping over the blue ones (especially M&Ms). I don't like blue candies.
10. I can't eat non-broken chips or crackers.
11. When crossing my room in the dark, I turn off the light and bolt across the room and leap into my bed like there's something that will get me. I don't mind the dark, I just don't like to be STANDING in the dark.
12. Any dial has to be on a "perfect" number. (5,10,15,20...etc).
13. I think everyone who is afraid of clowns is faking it.
14. If I find a spider in my house or my room, if I have not successfully removed it from my house (or life), I get paranoid about where it could be.
15. When I feel like I don't have control over a whole lot in my life, I take it out on my hair. Drastic cut or dye, something that exhibits a real change. The latest evidence of this is currently residing on my scalp as we speak. In a matter of 3 days I managed to go from a dark chestnut brown, to a light golden blonde.
16. The first thing I will notice about someone is their shoulders. And yes, I will judge you on them. Don't try to ask me what qualifies as "good" shoulders or "bad" shoulders because unless you're Anthony (or probably Justin for that matter...) you would never understand.
17. I like buying shoes but when I buy a pair that I wear more often that the previous shoes I used to wear a lot, I feel bad for the old shoes and I imagine them to be depressed that they're no longer good enough for my feet.
18. Even as a kid, port-a-potties completely disgust me. I will not use them. Ever. Under any circumstances.
19. When I talk to people online or text them, if I send the first message, I am absolutely terrified that they're in the middle of some big thing and I just bothered them or ruined a moment with a phone buzzing or an IM window popping up. Phone calls oddly enough don't bother me.
20. I eat sandwiches in layers... sort of. I'll eat half the sandwich like normal, then I'll divide it into it's original components. Eating the top layer of bread, each layer separately, and ending with the bottom layer of bread. Inevitably every time I go out to eat with friends, someone comments on it and I start stressing about the possible reasons for it.
21. I get nervous before getting on an escalator.
22. When I drive in nice weather with the windows down I always imagine what it would be like to pull up next to someone and they're listening to the same song I am.
23. I can't handle different thicknesses in the ink trails of pens. If you write half a page in one pen, and finish the page in another (even if it's the same ink color), I'd sooner rewrite the whole page.
24. Pellow, Melk, Layg, Eygg vs. Pillow, Milk, Leg, Egg.
25. If I have something to say to someone, even if it's unimportant, before I actually talk to them I will plan out every little detail of what I want to say. Down to what their responses might be and my responses to their different possible responses. Then I get there and start the conversation I meant to have, and somehow the right time for the specific things I wanted to say never comes up.
