mistymassey25 Things About Me
Rules:
Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
Okay, I'm not going to tag anyone - if you want to play, I'd love to read your answers. I'm a little late to this game, and I think most of my friends have already done it, but if you haven't, you're tagged! How about that?
1. I love milk. I would choose milk over soda any day of the week. Whole, skim, somewhere in the middle...doesn't matter.
2. I'm fascinated with the number 9.
3. I have a dream of emptying my attic before the summer is over. I want to reach the point where there is nothing up there except Christmas decorations. In fact, I hope to one day get rid of so much extraneous stuff that I know where everything is in my house. *wistful sigh*
4. I still play D&D on a regular basis, despite my advancing age.
5. I do not garden or do yardwork. Not even if you threaten me. I've only mowed a lawn one time in my life. When my daddy made me do it, I did such a poor job, he never asked me again. Heh.
6. Peppermint is my favorite flavor - ice cream, tea, chocolate, all of them are better with peppermint.
7. I love makeup.
8. I appeared as an extra in The Great Santini. I'm in the crowd at the basketball game.
9. I usually don't get the naughty jokes until later.
10. I've been a fan of Lost from the first episode.
11. One day at faire, Erzulie paid me a lot of attention. It was highly profitable, but a bit scary.
12. I keep my Tim Powers' books on the small bookshelf next to my bed, so that I can throw them out the window if the house catches fire in the night. No, really.
13. I adore my husband. No one compares. With that said, I often declare movie and TV actors to be my boyfriends. Luckily my husband does not mind. My friends sometimes do. *grins atbeatrizwench*
14. I've always wanted to bleach a streak down one side of my hair. Maybe someday when I don't work in a school.
15. I love to sing, and I have a decent voice, but I will never sing alone in front of anyone.
16. I like movie popcorn.
17. I hate malls.
18. I was gang-saved by the Nazarenes when I was eleven.
19. When my best friend and I went to Wales, we got stuck behind a work crew in a little village. If we'd turned around and taken another road, it would have put us nearly an hour late. She insisted I get out and ask the guys to let us by, because I "did not have zits". I gave them my sweetest smile, and the guys moved for us.
20. I'm afraid of heights.
21. I'm also irrationally afraid of the toys coming to life. Ask me about the Buzz Lightyear incident some day.
22. I can't drink tequila, because it makes me want to hit people.
23. I prefer African coffees.
24. I like to choreograph belly dance routines to non-belly dance music.
25. If I could live anywhere I chose, it would be at the beach.

Date: 2009-01-31 05:19 pm (UTC)I'm happy to find someone else who's aware of their coffee preferences to this extent :) I'm surrounded by people who are like, "oh, Folgers is fine, Starbucks is fine, 100% Colombian is fine, isn't it all the same??" I'm a diehard Indonesian coffee snob - Sumatra all the way :)

Date: 2009-01-31 05:53 pm (UTC)We have such similiar taste in boyfriends, is all. But today I stake my claim to Jamie from Mythbusters. He's MINE!
BTW, I really need to hear the stories about 18 & 21.

Date: 2009-02-01 12:50 am (UTC)....2. I'm fascinated with the number 9. With me it is 147. I don't know why. Seriously. 147.
....5. I do not garden or do yard work. Not even if you threaten me. I don't either but it has more to do with being allergic to the sun and going form zero to extra crispy in a few minutes. Going to outdoor music festivals with some friends who vend is fun trying to stay in the shade. This summer I started collecting parasols.
6. Peppermint is my favorite flavor - ice cream, tea, chocolate, all of them are better with peppermint. I totally agree but my sister hates p-mint and thinks it is disgusting in ice cream.
7. I love makeup. As I get older, I am getting more girly.
8. I appeared as an extra in The Great Santini. I'm in the crowd at the basketball game. My feet were in a Paul McCartney's video in the 1980's.
....20. I'm afraid of heights. So is my sister. Ask me sometime about her getting "stuck" in a tower in England.

Date: 2009-02-01 01:23 am (UTC)Hee! And I'll share the story of the day my sister, then three years old, decided she'd had enough of an Imax movie we were watching, even if it meant she had to plow through a wall to get out.
