25 Things You Might Not Know About Me

So yeah. I know I’ve done something similar to this before. But I’m doing it again, and in a more abbreviated yet lengthier manner. (translation: I’ll only put blurbs, but there will be 25 now instead of 10. Suckit)

1. I was a bone marrow donor.

2. I can solve most medium sudoku puzzles in about three minutes, and many hard sudoku puzzles in  five to seven minutes. (if it’s classed as “easy”, I can git ‘er dun in slightly over a minute)

3. I must sniff things. It’s not just a habit. It’s a requirement.

4. I’m both acrophobic and claustrophobic, which means you’ll want to avoid having to travel on a plane with me at all costs.

5. I can recite the entire periodic table of elements in order, and if I’m feeling particularly lovely, I’ll throw in the atomic weights for free. No, I’m not nor have I ever been a chem major. I did this for fun. (I can also recite pi to the 50th decimal place. Learned that for extra credit in Trig in high school)

6. I take my coffee black if I can help it.

7. I am hetero but I will kiss women if the moment is right (in a Jill Sobule way, not in a slutty Katy Perry way).

8. I consider geology and seismology to be hobbies of mine. Really geeky hobbies. Nothing sexier than a good solid earthquake.

9. My mother and I make our own wine. No, srsly. We do. Hat’s Rest Cellars…syrah, sangiovese, and viognier. And no. We’re not a legal winery.

10. I’ve had a crush on the same man for over 20 years. He doesn’t know this. I’m hoping to keep it that way.

11. My father looks entirely too much like Clint Eastwood. Try growing up with Dirty Harry glowering at you after you’ve broken curfew for the fifth time.

12. I’ve played Mama Rose, Willy Wonka, Rizzo, Miss Mona, Lady MacBeth, Alison “The Basket Case”, and Linda Loman, among other characters.

13. I think Uma Thurman is simply one of the most beautiful creatures ever put on this planet.

14. I am a 74 Night Elf Hunter and a 63 Draenei Shaman.

15. I was once a freelance journalist. I’ve had work published in magazines and newspapers. I wouldn’t go back to journalism for all the tea in China.

16. My current weight is 233lbs. Before I got Fat, I was 135lbs. This is the year I’m finally beginning the arduous trek back to my old self. I’m not, however, ashamed or afraid of who I am currently. Trust me…guys will still bang a chick with extra baggage. Guys will pretty much bang anything dark, moist, and dick-sized.

17. I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m splay-footed. So…slightly-fallen arches, bunions, unevenly-worn shoes, bad hips, knees that bend funny. I’m a one-woman party trick.

18. I once spent three years completely vegan before I decided that meat was too tasty to give up.

19. My rack is 42ii. They’ve been this large since before I got Fat. I plan on having them reduced once I’m done losing weight. End of discussion.

20. Banana walnut ice cream is where it’s at. I’m just sayin’.

21. Whatever you do, please don’t let me hear you chewing. It makes me violent. Seriously.

22. This will be my sixth year as one of the organizers of the annual Twin Peaks Festival. Yes, it’s tiring.

23. I’ve worked for the same company for 15 years. I’m very proud of this fact.

24. My parents are two of the coolest people I’ve ever known.

25. I would gladly give up sex if it meant that Depeche Mode would continue to make albums for the next fifty years.
