I broke down...

· 🌡️ 20°F

Ok, this thing has been going around facebook, and I finally broke down and did it. Figured I might as well put it here too. It's one of those chain-letterish things where you're supposed to reply with 25 things about yourself.

1: I am painfully shy, but you might not guess it by how much I talk/write.

2: Buffalo is the 8th city I've lived in, even though my parents have lived in the same house since '74.

3: I have crushes on several people, and doubt they will ever know it, and miss a few others more than they will ever know.

4: I seriously overuse ;) and :)

5: I am a HUGE sap, and cry ridiculously easily.

6: I will tell just about anyone just about anything they want to know about me- but at the same time tend to keep my real thoughts/feelings to myself.

7: I voted for Nader.

8: I laugh when I'm nervous. I was once called Dr. Hibbert, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

9: I once told someone that I'm not sure I can be friends with anyone who doesn't like the Simpsons. I think I sort of meant it.

10: I judge men by their shoes. Big time.

11: I am scared to death that I'll never get married.

12: I can speak Italian.

13: I just learned that both my paternal great-grandmothers were named Daisy.

14: My middle name is my grandmother's maiden name, and my dead older brother's first name.

15: Music is huge to me, and I think musical compatibility is important.

16: I pretty much hate rollercoasters, but I will still go on them if you want me to.

17: I idolize my father.

18: I have put "missed connections" on craigslist twice, and BOTH times the person answered!

19: I skipped first grade.

20: I am going gray, and do not like it.

21: I am not good at letting people know how much they mean to me.

22: I have always wanted a tattoo, but still have not come up with something important enough.

23: I would rather be hurt, than hurt someone else. This can be a problem.

24: I was recruited for hockey.

25: I am genuinely surprised that I could think of 25 things to say about myself.

    i know...i've been getting these things left and right. but i don't know if i can come up with 25 things about myself that most people don't already know..seeing that i blab everything about myself before i even know the person's name.

    Don't know if there are 25 things about me that are broadcasting, but I do know a few things. Having been married and lost, I can tell you there is one thing scarier than not getting married. Going grey as I am, I made the decision to embrace it. That might not stop me from shaving to ditch the Santa like facade to my chin, but done right, grey can be hot.

    My 25 things are on facebook, but I can copy them to here.

    I have decided not to fight the things that come with age (I've got some grey, but baldness is a bigger problem).

    I am sure you can and will marry if you want to. If I had to do it all over again, I might look for a surgeon sugar-mama :)

    Based on my shoes, we should not be friends (I take lousy care of mine). Based on my love of the Simpsons, there is some hope.

    hmm... interesting how many of your tidbits are ones i would put (if i were on facebook, which i am not, since i figure my ignored myspace is more than enough).

    totally for sure about numbers 1, 2 (weird that my parents moved into the house they are in the same year, and i have lived in a total of 8 cities, too), 4, 5, 6, 10 (some of my crushes have been based on shoes!), 15, 19 (mine was grade 3, tho), 20, 21, 23.

    Very interesting. I kinda feel the same way about a Tattoo. I do have a couple Ideas for you but you would have to find a good and big spot for one of them. Get a city Tattoo with your favorite building or place from each city you have lived in. Leave space so that if you live someplace else you can get other places added on later. The more practical idea is to get some Jackdaw symbol both the upside down crown and that double headed bird thing they have on there my space page might look pretty good. In terms of the shoes do you judge by the kind of shoes or by the size, HA? Do you do the same thing with sneakers. It is tough to believe you are shy you seem pretty out going from everything I read. So you can speak Italian if you can also cook that type of food that could lead to a marriage. I can't believe you where recruited for Hockey that is pretty awesome.
