25 Interesting Things About Me

(copied from my facebook--the tagging is unnecessary here)

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.


1. I avoid physical activity like the plague, but passionately love practical styles of martial arts

2. I won't ever admit it out loud, but I love being tickled

3. I am scared of strangers. The younger they are, the more intense this feeling becomes. (Middle-aged people, I have almost no problem with, but 10-year-olds absolutely terrify me)

4. I find people of different ethnicities to be more attractive than whites

5. I am almost guaranteed to get lost when going somewhere by myself for the first time

6. My favorite genre is that of fairy tales and such that end in a happy ending

7. With very very few exceptions, I am always cold because my body produces heat without retaining it

8. My heart simply melts when I am around a guy who is nice and displays good manners constantly

9. I squeal very rarely. Maybe two or even three times it was because someone tickled me and took me completely by surprise. The other time was when I found a giant beetle and the person supposed to kill it wasn't very effective & it started flying around the room

10. I love summertime. I am one of the rare people who can stand the heat and loves humidity

11. I was the biggest crybaby anyone has ever encountered up until I went to public school in 4th grade. Until I was able to grow a spine of my own, my best friend, Solonda Wesley, protected me

12. Yelling terrifies me, whether or not I am involved in the situation

13. My last year at home, I truly wondered about my sanity

14. I was in Marching Band from 8th grade all the way to my senior year. It was my therapy

15. I constantly felt inadequate while growing up and that no matter what I was good at, someone was always better and more noticeable than I was

16. I am not a romantic. None of that "destined to be together" stuff here.

17. I am hugely easy to distract. Only reading has been known to be important enough to me to block everything else out. Doing anything else, however...

18. I am very comfortable with myself and what I look like, but I am always very surprised when I get a compliment

19. I love water very much. Waterfalls of any size are my favorite

20. I read any child communication book that I can get my hands on

21. One of my favorite hobbies is working on jigsaw puzzles. Especially ones with different shades of the same color &/or different textures to look at

22. I have always wanted a punching bag.

23. I constantly have an internal commentary going on about what and who is around me

24. I read a book that mentioned people hiding parts of their souls from themselves and while reading it, I decided that that was the easiest way to hide my feelings from others. Ever since, it was really difficult for me to know how I really felt about something besides my public face

25. I hate breakfast food, except for pancakes and sausage

I feel like I know you better. Thanks for the honesty. A lot of that I already knew, but some I didn't. I'm not sure I could come up with 25. I did my 10. That's good enough for me I think.

Is there a punching bag at your dojo?

yeah. i like to have stuff written down. comes from a phenomenally bad memory

no, i actually realized that i can't afford to do Tai Chi. Also, there is no punching bag in the dojo, either
