badseed1980 | Ten Interesting Facts

greendalek is doing it, so I will too. At least it's more fun than jumping off a bridge.

The crux of this meme is to essentially list 10 weird, random, facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, list their names, and why you tagged them. (But he didn't tag and neither will I.)

1. I almost never cried growing up (except when I was a really fussy little baby), but I do it more now. Not always for bad reasons, either: sometimes it's because of a really soppy movie moment that just gets me, and sometimes it's an endorphin-and-adrenaline release thing (usually for a very good reason).

2. Most of my nightmares involve either spiders or people/beings who are trying to kill me, who are never affected by my defenses, even when I do things like slit their throat or stab them in the heart.

3. I actually love heights, but only when I'm securely on a stable surface. I get very nervous at the idea of rock climbing, but I love standing at the edges of cliffs and buildings and looking down.

4. As much as I may have bitched and moaned about other parts of my body over the course of my life, if I could change one thing about my body, it would be to have flawless skin forever. Good thing I'm good with makeup.

5. My first crush was on a kid named Randy McFarland in first grade. We were friends. I moved away from that town and then moved back, and started going to school with him again in junior high. He'd turned into an asshole, and wasn't all that good looking either. Oh well, I found my first love not long thereafter.

6. That first love was from Transylvania. I met him in karate class. We very nearly got engaged when I was 19.

7. I choreograph and plan dance pieces in my head SO much better than I can actually dance. Too bad.

8. All the cities where I've lived have been on a decent-sized river (the Blackstone, the Potomac, the Corrib, and the Charles) except one. That one was right on Narragansett Bay.

9. I like to separate my coloured candies (M&Ms, Skittles, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, etc.) by colour. Then, I eat them like this: whichever colour is most numerous, I eat as many of them as I need to first, to make the amount the same as the next most numerous colour. Then, I alternate eating those two colours until there's as much as the third most numerous, and on and on. Eventually, when there's the same number in each colour, I eat them in order from least favourite to most favourite, taking one of each in turn until they're all gone.

10. I prefer diet soda to regular soda.
