50 Random Things About Me

I've seen this on a couple of blogs and thought it might be fun.

1. I love violin music.
2. John and I have several books that we read aloud to each other.
3. I love dragons to an obnoxious level.
4. I have a substantial collection of Japanese music. And if I don't know the words, I sing anyway. (Like John's grandpa with the ukulele.)
5. I am addicted to finding cool wallpapers online.
6. I usually have to read myself to sleep to get my brain to turn off.
7. I love mysteries! I'm a little picky, though cause they can be done very badly. My favorite authors in the genre are Agatha Christie (she can fool me most of the time) and Rita Mae Brown (I usually guess correct, but I don't know after the first two chapters).
8. When I was 3 years old I could recite the entire script of Disney's Robin Hood along with the movie. ("Put that peashooter da-own.") And I tried to whistle along with the song even though I can't whistle.
9. As a child I kind of wanted Sylvester to get to catch Tweety.
10. When I'm falling asleep I'll lie about it.
11. I have a stack of Berenstain Bear books. And I still feel cozy when I read through one.
12. I love the smell of curry.
13. I have a little book that I write down quotes in from books, movies, or things people say to me so I don't forget.
14. If it involves volcanoes, I'm listening.
15. I dip my french fries in my frosty.
16. I love dill pickles.
17. I feel completely insecure about my abilities to do well in geology. I always feel like the stupidest person in the room and I must have made a mistake. But I love geology.
18. As a child, I had a crush on Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty.
19. I like it when people call me before they drop by. (I am always in my pajamas and my house is a mess if someone knocks on the door unexpectedly. And I always want to hide behind the couch.)
20. The aromas of coffee and cigarettes together makes me happy. (My grandma is a Folger's fan. Also, the coffee place at the college I used to go to smelled like the two together and I walked past it every day and reveled in it.)
21. I love music boxes. The sound of one changes the feeling in the room.
22. The first present Johnny ever gave me was a vanilla-scented candle wrapped in snowman paper in the middle of summer. I still have it.
23. John does a British accent like Pierce Brosnan that makes me giggly and bashful.
24. I almost always have fruit snacks in the house.
25. Taco Bell is one of my best friends. I've loved their food my whole life.
26. I am fascinated about ghosts.
27. When I am working on something (homework, scrapbook, etc.) I put everything in little piles in a big circle around me and if I leave to get something, you can see exactly where my butt should go. (I'm messy-organized.)
28. Nat King Cole casts a spell on me.
29. My favorite Christmas movie is Mickey's Christmas Carol. (And I watch it all year.) The Grinch is a close second. (That one, too.)
30. When the right pianist is playing, I stop what I'm doing and close my eyes.
31. I feel that everyone needs to see Spartacus at least once.
32. I feel that everyone needs to see The Scarlet Pimpernel on at least an annual basis.
33. I like shopping for light fixtures and kitchen faucets and new house stuff like that. (Though I've never bought any and my parents took few of my suggestions as a child.)
34. Though I like fanciness, I feel enormously uncomfortable in fancy places. Like I'll be asked to leave soon.
35. When I was little I pretended to like grapefruit so my dad and I could share one together. I wanted to be just like him.
36. I've always had a bond with cats. They just come to me. And sometimes follow me home and someone else has to take them back to their home.
37. I relate to boys easier than I relate to girls.
38. I played with GI Joes, Hot Wheels, plastic horses, and Barbies as a child. (Well, and rocks. How embarrassing.)
39. I tried so hard to like Star Trek.
40. When someone breaks my stuff it hurts my feelings. (I didn't say these were fifty rational things about me.)
41. I loved the book fairs at school when I was little.
42. I picked up worms and chased little girls around with them as a child. (Oh, the surge of power.)

44. I MISS JOHN!
45. Certain video games have a nostalgic effect on me (Zelda: A Link To The Past, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, Excitebike, Rad Racer,Duck Hunt, and so on). And when I'm alone I try to play as if it were real (checking pulses on Ridley's prior victims, walking slowly through the creepy parts, a moment of silence for the metroid that died protecting me, stopping in to take a nap at my little house before Link goes to get the next crystal -- it's a little sad).
46. I am an Elvis fan.
47. My favorite cereals include frosted mini wheats, cinnamon toast crunch, and froot loops.
48. John and I talk baby-talk to each other sometimes. Okay, a lot of times.
49. I aspire to be a neat freak.
50. Cloudy and rainy days make John and me happy. Those are the days we want to go places.

Okay, if anyone read all the way to this point, I thank you. I hope I didn't shatter anyone's idea of me. I'm a weird girl. I am prepared if anyone needs to have "a little talk" with me after reading this. (And, again, thank you lolcats.com for the pics.) And you all guessed it: I am putting off my homework.
