25 random things about me

  1. I don’t laugh at a lot of things people find funny. I don’t know why. I really do have a sense of humor.
  2. It has taken me way too long to fulfill my goal of getting completely out of debt.
  3. In my life, I have broken three bones.
  4. I am horrible at keeping in touch with people. Even people who live near me.
  5. I am an only child.
  6. I was born in Daytona Beach.
  7. On the day the shuttle Challenger exploded, I was on a field trip to the very hospital where I was born.
  8. My first car was 10 months older than me (1973 Volvo built in 11/72 according to the door plate)
  9. I have travelled outside the U.S. once.
  10. I have lived in 3 states. None below the Mason-Dixon line, and only one west of the Mississippi River.
  11. When I was young, I thought alligators and dolphins were the coolest living animals. I still do.
  12. I used to swim competitively. I have swam against 2 world record holders, 1 American record holder and a Spanish record holder. I mainly swam backstroke and breaststroke.
  13. I make a mean chicken quesadilla and an equally mean omelet.
  14. An ancestor of mine was on the Mayflower. I don’t know his name, but my mother has it somewhere.
  15. I am naturally lazy. I have always had a hard time motivating myself.
  16. Despite its grimy, run-down appearance. I love my car. It’s so fun to drive.
  17. I’m not a very emotional person. I don’t lack emotion, and I don’t hide emotion. I just don’t emote as much as some, or even most people.
  18. I don’t have a favorite color, food, book, actor/actress, movie or song.
  19. I have lost two dogs in my life. One to an alligator and one to age. I still miss them both.
  20. I don’t think I could love a job. Unless my job was sailing around the world.
  21. I remember the weirdest things for the longest time. For example, I remember a disagreement I had w/ someone over the Geico gecko. She held that it was an Australian accent. I still maintain that it’s a Cockney accent. This discussion took place many many years ago. Despite this, I am horrible at remembering names.
  22. Lots of times, I sound like I’m angry about something when I’m really just frustrated-with/laughing-at/complaining-about some perceived absurdity. Not Monty Python absurdity, more Jerry Seinfeld, “What’s the deal with…” absurdity.
  23. I am quite obscene when in traffic. But any vitriol is forgotten very quickly.
  24. I think I would have been a good actor or radio show host.
  25. I maintain a fairly constant inner monologue. Sometimes, it’s not exactly “inner”.
