25 Random Things About Me

Well, I got tagged for this on FB, so I thought I would post it here.

1. I have always wanted naturally red hair. This is not a secret.

2. This Thanksgiving I made the third and final turkey of my life. I have peaked at 28 years, there is no more need to get up at 5am to deal with cold bird flesh. I will never be able to top it. 

3. I like being married to a smart dork. Our conversations are weird, and I am never bored or unsurprised by that man.

4. I hate Trivial Pursuit and will not play even if I think it is rude. There are few things that drive me to be what I determine rude. 

5. My comfort foods are all orange.

6. My living room colors match my cat. 

7. I bought a house because of three things: a banana tree, a porch ceiling fan, and it could fit my dining room table.

8. I like to read almost exclusively, first person - present tense - female authored books.

9. I am notorious for my unconscious, nocturnal escapades.

10. I once had a goldfish who died while I was sleeping over at a friend's house. My mother froze it thinking I wanted to bury it, and I found it while getting a popsicle the next day.

11. I use to be scared of change, but now worry what if I stop changing and become stagnant again.

12. I do not want to change my life and have children. I like sleeping in and having naps. But I want every child I see.

13. I wish I could commit to going green. But my level of commitment begins and ends at my big blue trash can they brought to my door voluntarily.

14. I like old friends. I like that they knew my most embarrassing stages of life, and accepted me then. It makes me feel free when I am around them because even my worst now is still an improvement.

15. My favorite teacher once told me he never had children of his own because he could not think of an unselfish reason to have one of his own. It is the only thing someone has ever said to me that I have pondered for a decade.

16. I cannot stand to see other people mess with their feet. Gross.

17. I wish I could travel like Anthony Bourdain. On the DL, one pair of undies, no budget, a translator, and get to see places how they really are. 

18. I want a tatoo.

19. I fold towels in threes. So should you; it looks nicer. Martha does it this way too.

20. I am seriously considering painting my great front room some shade of orange. I think I was too timid in my other paint choices,and orange would make me happy.

21. If they wanted me to go to space, I would jump on it.

22. I would like to be  a Ph.D. I would make you call me Dr. :-)

23. I really like naming things. My name theory for children centers around whether it is a good presidential name.

24. I like collecting things. It is all about the hunt.

25. Lamar is my favorite street. You will find me there on my days off.
