Kinda-not-really tagged by loose_pages_sd. Here's how you play. Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged, list their names and why you tagged them.
1. I've always got a song running through my head in the background. I thought everybody always had some random beat going on in the back of their brain until I mentioned it and was told otherwise. It's not always a good song, right now it's Britney Spears' Gimme More, but it's always something. This is why my toes are usually tapping.
2. I'm pretty high strung. Which is code for, "I have social anxiety disorder with panic and agoraphobia, blah, blah, blah." Despite this, I work in a job where I'm face to face with lots of people for 8 hours a day, and I like it. Therapy works, yo.
3. I make lists obsessively not because I'm OCD (which I am a little bit, but I struggle not to be) but because I'm very forgetful. I can probably give you plot details of every Facts of Life ever from memory, but if I have to pick you up at the airport in a day, make sure I write it down.
4. I love to sing karaoke. My favorite songs right now are These Boots are Made for Walking and 99 Luftballons. Other songs I recommend: I Want you to Want Me, Down Under, Come on Eileen, Lola by the Kinks, and if you're a guy who knows all the words (that's important), you'll kill with My Humps. I don't recommend anything by Journey or Steve Perry unless you've got a serious fucking voice. If you do have an amazing voice, rock it out to Don't Stop Believing or Oh, Sherrie and you'll bring the house down. No Beyonce. No Mariah Carey. No I Will Survive unless you're a total diva or a guy. Trust me.
5. I have a girumbous lesbian crush on Anderson Cooper. When he's in a war zone, looking completely unruffled, in Prada, while insurgents are shooting at him, I'm giddy as a schoolgirl. I want to have sleepovers with him and eat cookie dough and talk about boys and world politics.
6. In an 8.5 hour shift, I sit down (or just stop moving, even if I'm still standing) for maybe 45 minutes total. That's why my shoes cost more than the rest of my clothing combined.
7. I love BPAL and keep track of scents using a color-coded spreadsheet.
8. When I was little, I thought the MASH character of Hawkeye was based on my dad. Because my dad was a doctor, and a Hawkeye (University of Iowa alum), and really funny, and he kind of looked like Alan Alda. My dad's cooler than Hawkeye, though.
9. My hair's about 10% gray, which only my hairstylist really gets to see. And despite the fact that I'm the oldest of my friends, I have the least amount of gray hair. We all have the same job, so it may be the stress.
10. I was diagnosed with dyscalculia when I was senior in college and had already finished my statistics minor. I'd obviously found a way around it, but it is nice to know there's a reason I can't read analog clocks. My mom and my sister have both since been diagnosed with it, too, which explains why it's hilarious watching us try to read off phone numbers to each other.
I tag anyone who can't finish this lyric: We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind...
ETA:If you were a character of the week on Supernatural, what would your character be? And we're talking you you, not some fictionalized, cooler you.
I would make Sam's froofy latte and pathetically flirt with him at the handoff plane. And I'd very likely decaf Dean, depending on his attitude and my mood. And then some Supernatural creature would burst into the cafe, and I would scream and hide in the stockroom, and then probably die.
