Random-ness

I'm going to take a cue from my friend Susie and do a post of 25 random things about me just for your enjoyment:



1) I like the smell of skunks. No, I don't want to be doused in skunk-juice, but the smell makes me think of being far away from everyone in the country and somewhat relaxes me.

2) I hate bell peppers but love jalapenos. They taste damn-near the same but I can't stand bell peppers, regardless of the color.

3) I LOVE being an only-child. Most people who are only children hated it but I loved it. Guess you know who loves attention now.

4) I daydream a lot. Sometimes when I am driving to work, I'll get lost in a daydream and not even remember getting to work.

5) I don't like people. That's not to say I don't like my friends and enjoy their company, but in general, I really don't like people.

6) I don't always answer the phone when it rings. Goes back to #5, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to deal with people. I think it stems from being forced to be nice to people all day long so when I'm not in the mood to be nice, I avoid phone calls.

7) I love walking around the house naked.

8) I don't like kids that much. Good thing I'm preggo, huh? A lot of people have told me the same thing and they love their kids, so I don't really even feel bad writing that.

9) I don't cry & if I do, it pisses me off. My SIL will cry at anything (and fully admits it) but I can't stand crying.

10) I abhor chicken with skin on the bone. Fried or not, it's just nasty.

11) I broke a board with my hand at a work conference just like you see people do on TV.

12) I once asked Husband if New Jersey was a state.

13) I like my parents. I know this seems like a no-brainer but I actually like them & think they're funny. I like my in-laws too.

14) If I knew I wasn't going to live long, I would want a swimming pool filled with various kinds of donuts and would try to eat my way out.

15) I like to just hang out with Husband on the weekends. Sometimes I get stir-crazy and want to go somewhere but most of the time, I'm good with just hanging out with him.

16) If I could, I would have a LOT of animals. They're great companions and don't talk back.

17) My favorite vacation was when we went to Germany for Oktoberfest but I have no desire to go back.

18) I love Harry Potter. If someone could come to life and take me with him into a book, I would choose Harry.

19) Kind of piggy-backing on 18, I wish I had magical powers. I think I would choose to stop time (kind of like that show back in the 90's where all the girl had to do was put her hands together and time stopped). The only problem is that I probably wouldn't use my power to good use.

20) I have no patience for stupid people. Life is too short to be slowed down by asinine questions.

21) Showers are boring, even if they are for you.

22) I don't like to watch "normal" TV shows. I only like to watch one-off shows like on History or Discovery.

23) I don't mind giving myself Insulin shots. It hurts a little but I can think of worse things.

24) I love blood and gore. Looking back, I think I would have made an excellent doctor b/c the human body fascinates me.

25) Although I can be cynical at times, I pray.
