82 Absolutely Fascinating Facts About Me You Probably Didn't Know...
Okay, it is list time again.
I had this list on my myspace page, so if it looks familiar to you--it is because it probably is. I love lists, it makes everything so neat and organized, and one day I want to bite the bullet and buy "The Listology Journal" just because I am incredibly awesome about making random lists.
Anyway, here are 82 (...and growing) random facts about me.
1. If given the choice, I would definately wear my pj's all day long-inside and outside.
2. I love to laugh. Despite what others sometimes thing. However, sometimes I try REALLY hard not laugh-because it is inappropriate.
3. I don't like crying. Yes, I can cry watching a sad movie, or reading a horrifically sad book-but yet, anything real-I just can't seem to get the tears out of my eyes. Trust me I tried.
4. I'm hopelessly optimistic-and a hopeless daydreamer too. I just never seem to pay attention because my head is in the clouds.
5. I love to help people. Sometimes I can be pesty, because I know I can help-people just don't want me to.
6. On that note, I bake. Cookies. Usually when I bake, I don't eat my creations, but I am not worried-they go so fast that everyone eats them. So they must be good.
7. I collect dolls. Not Barbie dolls. I'm selective. I prefer the 18" ridiculously expensive American Girl dolls. I accept donations of any kind!
8. Speaking of collections-I save everything. Every note, every letter that was ever sent me is in a box, I think I started that phenemonon when I was about 10. That is 16 years of summer letters, love letters, cheering up letters and good luck letters. Sometimes, I even photocopied the letter I sent to someone else.
9. I also collect children's books and socks.
10. We have four cats: Lucky (i.e. Demon Seed), Logan, Pumpkin and Gizmo. Lucky gets in enough trouble by himself. We call him the perpetual 3 year old.
11. I don't drive. Never have and most likely never will.
12. I love Peter Pan. I have all the different version on DVD/VHS somewhere around here including: (but not exclusively) Hook, Finding Neverland, Peter Pan, Disney's Peter Pan, the Musical Peter Pan and numerous copies of the book.
14. One of my favorite quotes is "All it takes is faith and trust. And a little bit of pixie dust."-Peter Pan.
15. I worry to much. I worry all the time. I wish that everyone was happy at the same time.

17. I love taking baths. I love reading in the bathtub, which is why so many of my books are waterlogged.
18. I scare really easily. Anything scares me.
19. My favorite "adult" author is Mary Higgins Clark.

83. I can never finish anything I drink. If I drink soda out of can, I leave the last three sips. I will never drink a whole cup of coffee. Or water from a water bottle. There is always something left, either my choice beverage got too warm, when it wasn't supposed to be. Or too cold when it wasn't suppose to be. I know I am wasting things, and it is probably exactly the same as the rest of the beverage, but it isn't.

New phone
So the other day I got a new cell phone and am still trying to learn all the features from it. Rich and I decided to go off my parents plans because his work gives steep verizon discounts. So we both got Blackberries. He got the Storm while I got the Curve. My mom was questioning why I didn't want the Storm like him...my typically "girly" answer was it wasn't black. I was insistant on a pink phone...and well I don't think Rich would have cared for a pink phone!

NYC
So for some reason, New York City makes me contemplative. No matter how often I go, I start thinking...
It is the strangest thing. It is like as soon as I set foot on the bus the ghosts of my memories. Maybe too many of my friends from childhood moved there...or...
I don't know...
I just don't know.
