Okay, okay… I’ve resisted as long as I can. Everyone and their dog has been tagged in facebook to list 25 weird/random things about themselves. So, without further adieu, I’ll succumb.
(but I refuse to insist that anyone has to tag someone else. 
)
25. I have a gazillion memberships to a gazillion online sites/services. From vox to flickr, to digg to stumbleupon, to twitter to plurk… I’ve probably signed up, if it exists.
24. I love really bad scifi… like planet of the apes, total recall, and bladerunner.
23. I love really good scifi too, like battlestar galactica, firefly, and star wars.
22. I grind my teeth so hard at night, that sometimes I wake up my hubby.
21. I still have my character shoes in the closet, because I can’t bring myself to toss them.
20. Speaking of shoes, there was a time in 9th grade that I was convinced I had a size 9 foot. I’m a 7.5 to 8… weird.
19. I love salty tangy foods, but do not like pickles.
18. I HATE having wet hair… like I REALLY hate it.
17. When I’m running, sometimes, I want to sort of… dance… while I’m, umm… running… I usually resist.
16. I live for the applause after a round of karaoke.
15. I have 2 specific phrases that I say in very specific voices to each of my cats. They love it.
14. I prefer young adult lit to grown up lit 9 out of 10 times.
13. I am a teacher, but can’t imagine how scary it would be to have a class of 20-30… let alone multiple classes adding up to over 100 kids! I like having smaller numbers of kids that really need me.
12. I’ve got a soft spot for Dark Side of the Moon.
11. I love office supplies, and would spend exorbitant amounts of money on pens if left to my own devices.
10. I absolutely always, ALWAYS wear my seat belt.
9. I was eliminated from the elementary spelling bee for misspelling CALENDAR… I used an E-R… I almost always got it wrong until about a year ago, that my husband reminded me of my love of pirates, and asked how a pirate would say it… CALENDAAARRRRRRRR. I’ve not messed it up since.
8. (oh yea, and I love pirates)
7. The idea of my teeth touching wood, like a Popsicle stick, is enough to send me into convulsions.
6. I strongly prefer email and texting to talking on the phone.
5. I have a very good, natural French accent, but can barely remember any French. Sometimes, I’ll read the back of the shampoo bottles (the French section) out loud, just to remember how it sounds.
4. I do NOT like my food to touch and eat out of separate dishes when possible. I do own divided plates that are made for kids.
3. I had a number 1 single in Guam… lol….
2. I own over a dozen pairs of chuck taylors.
1. I hate looking at, touching, smelling, or even thinking about left over food that is either in tupperware for more than 3 days, or is in the sink to be disposed of. It is my job to do the dishes, but if we’re cleaning out old food, I swear I’ll gag… my darling dumps them for me.

I often dance while running, too.
And, I love that applause after karaoke

wow. That’s all I can say. It is so relieving to see that someone else shares my weird phobia of wood touching my teeth. In elementary school, I used to gag as I watched people eat their blue bell ice cream with those little wooden paddles. I seriously just got a chill thinking about it. And the thing about food touching… Omg! Our first Christmas together, chris bought me some divider plates that are actually really nice ceramic. I knew he was the one right then and there!! And isn’t it every hubby’s job to clean out the old gross leftovers??
. Great list!
