Just For Kicks and Giggles!

My cousin tagged me on Facebook and, in so doing, sentenced me 43 minutes of torment while I painstakingly thought of 25 random facts about myself. Thanks a lot Kristi! ; ) HAHA! Actually it wasn't that bad. I ended up copying and pasting 10 of them from a prior myspace blog! Since I was writing them out anyways, I though they would be fun to post here.

If you are reading this and would like to do this too, consider yourself tagged! It's fun to learn new things about friends! No pressure...

Here it goes!

(Please note that I tend to be quite enthusiastic, so...please excuse my excessive use of exclamation points! hehe)

1. Rather than buying my bedroom curtains at the store, I pick out an awesome fabric at the store and sew my own!

2. When I'm stressed I put on my headphones and listen to music or take a long drive.

3. I seriously love history and when I study American history, in particular, I actually get goose bumps...very weird, but I suppose that's true passion!

4. My dream is to go back to my roots and someday live in the South...hopefully Virginia!

5. On occasion, I get road rage and have been known to follow idiot drivers that cut me off while honking my horn. ; )

6. My senior year of high school, I painted my fingernails with a different color or style almost everyday!

7. I can play the recorder! I know that you're jealous, but I have to say that I can't really blame you!

8. I listen to Christmas music year-round!

9. I'm kind of a nerd and have actually implemented a little thing called "Science Time" when my nephews come to visit. We just do cool experiments...usually involving fire!

10. When I graduated from Chaffey College with my AA, I insisted that I HAD to have Dr. Seuss postage stamps to put on my graduation announcements and waited an hour-and-a-half in line at the Fontana Post Office, only to find that they didn't have them there. I ended up going to the Rancho Post Office, waiting less than 20 minutes, and walking out with my Dr. Seuss stamps! Then, I realized that I could have just ordered them online! lol

11. I set my alarm clock for 15 minutes before I'm supposed to get up so that I can allow myself to hit the snooze exactly three times...no more, no less!

12. I minored in anthropology and dream of actually going on an archaeological dig someday...just for kicks!

13. In my anthropology classes I learned how to tell if someone is a man or woman and about how old they were at their time of death, just by looking at their skull!

14. I teach 6th grade and love it!

15. I get lost almost everywhere I go. It used to bother me, but now I'm cool with it. In fact, in the midst of getting totally lost, I have actually found many great adventures. One time Laura and I were on our way to the LA Zoo and got super lost. We ended up having to call my friend Chris and have him use Google maps to help us find our way back to the freeway. Then some guy waving a dirty cloth tried to get us to pull over and talk to him! No thank you, scary murderer man! lol

16. My favorite color is orange.

17. November is my favorite month of the year because of all the pretty decorations in Fall colors!

18. I solemnly swear that Target is a magical wonderland! Really!

19. I have broken 5 bones: right wrist, left wrist, right hand, right ankle, and tailbone.

20. I think that I must have 10,000 pencil pouches, in a box in my closet, leftover from my million years as a college student.

21. I just finished my Master's Degree, but actually hate...no...loathe going to school, and have ever since the middle of kindergarten. Where there's a will, there's a way!

22. Hootie and the Blowfish is NOT my favorite band (Kristi!) ; )

23. I love watching scary movies and stuff about ghosts, even though it means that I probably won't be able to sleep that night! hehe

24. I cannot sleep without a blanket covering my feet, even when it's in the middle of a California summer. Also, I can't sleep when it's totally quiet; I have to have a fan on, even when it's cold!

25. I love Peter Pan, written by JM Barrie! The writing is SO good that you can practically feel the magic coming off the pages as you read! Go read it...immediately! : )
