I forgot a subject! How interesting....
So... queer_theory challenged me to 19 facts about myself. In an effort to prove just how uninteresting I am, here goes nothin'... (detail is dependent on the fact). I can not promise that some of these might not be new information. You have been warned.
01 I have lived in NINE (9) places in my life = the city I was born in; the city I grew up in; the city I went to high school in; the first city I went to college in; the second city I went to college in; the placed I lived on my College Program (quite literally Walt Disney World); and four cities since I moved to Florida. Random fact: The city I currently live in is the same as the first city I lived in, when I moved to Florida. I even live in the same apartment complex. I can see the door to my old apartment from the bottom of the stairs of my current building.
EDIT: 01-A I lived in SIX (6) different places in the town I grew up in; I have lived in NINE (9) different places in Florida, two of them twice (technically, the friends' apartment I crashed in for about a month, prior to moving to into the first place, was place #1, but details). So, for those playing the home game. Places #1 and #3 were the same complex; Places #2 and #9 were/are the same. /over-answering
02 I really miss Hot Dog on a Stick and Taco Time. Stupid western-only franchises.
03 When I go to the mall/window shopping, I shop first second and third for the various fictional characters that live in my head. Seriously, I have a collection of stuffed Tiggers now, for no reason other than Charlie likes Tigger.
04 The most of Gone with the Wind I have ever seen is the end-ride video at The Great Movie Ride; the drapery scene of The Carol Burnett Show; and the entirety of Scarlett. And that's probably more than I ever care to.
05 There's some semi-interesting fact I thought of, the other day, and now can't remember it for the life of me. I guess that's interesting? Maybe?
06 I have played ping-pong with Naseem Hamed. Perk of working for the Mouse, yo.
07 I feel quite guilty and ashamed that I didn't make myself try harder with any instrument I've ever started to learn. I can't even make myself take lessons how how to string a guitar, and the thing just hides under the bed, collecting dust. With a broken string.
08 I have shaken Jim Lovell's hand. At Kennedy Space Center. An hour after watching Apollo 13. At Kennedy Space Center. With Jim Lovell.
09 For the longest time, I just wanted to be voiceover talent. But, at present, if I could be one thing I am not... I would want to be a ballerina. Or Hayley Atwell's personal assistant. Probably just Hayley's PA.
10 My brother and I can quote both Transformers: The Movie and GI Joe: The Movie by heart. I can also quote both A Goofy Movie and The Happiest Millionaire. I have a sneaking suspicion, however, that inabsentialuci can out-quote me on White Christmas
11 I have two roommates = my brother (aka The Lifeguard) who is no longer a lifeguard - he got promoted, full-time, to the position he's been working for the last two+ years; and bizarra, whom I have known for 18 years and two days. Yes, I know the exact date we first "met" :)
12 The only two Coke products I will drink are Sprite and Orange Fanta.
13 I once stood fact-to-face with John deLancie and completely flubbed it up. It's been nearly 10 years and I'm still mortified.
14 I collect abandoned LJs. And constantly think of new ones to make. And then I promptly ignore them, for lack of anyone else to play with. Seriously, between RP journals, comms, and the list of ones that are 'to be made' (Team Emu needs a safe haven, yo)... I wish there was a way to merge LJs, so that all the 100000 Tin Man comms were in one place. But, there's no one left in them, so why bother?
15 I am allergic to both the milk-half of chocolate and the chocolate-half. Spent a week in Hershey, PA, one summer, and it was one of the worst weeks of my life. And that wasn't even because of the allergies. o.O
16 I would love to be able to up and move to Ireland, where I would open up a little pub in a little village and just be. ♥
17 I have a bad habit of dwelling on things, as well as spending too much time trying to fix broken relationships that aren't worth the effort.
18 My brother went to college with Vincent Jackson, currently of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and formerly of the San Diego Chargers.
19 I would love to have a week or two off - as well as the disposable income - to go back out to LA and see everything I want to see, on my schedule. Last time I was there (which is the only time), I was on someone else's family vacation as a tagalong. It was fun - I was on Ellen - but I'd rather do a trip like that my way.
