25 things

1. I hate being barefoot. I wear shoes or slippers all the time, except in my bed, but I won't step out of bed unless there's something to wear right there.

2. FreeCell frustrates the hell out of me but for some reason I can't stop playing it. I play it over and over again until I'm so mad I can't stand it and then I take a break for about 5 minutes and start all over again.

3. I am absolutely terrified of cops, and I'm not sure why. Actually it's pretty ridiculous since I've never done anything bad in my life.

4. One time Bill (Kelly's boyfriend) saw me naked. I didn't realize he was here and I came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and there he was in the hallway. For some reason, neither of us moved, and then instead of backing up into the bathroom I ran down the stairs so he saw my ass. It makes me laugh every time I think about it.

5. I think Julie Andrews is magical.

6. Sometimes I play out scenarios in my head and they make me laugh. One time at work I was sitting in my cube doing just that, and my cube neighbor poked her head over the wall and saw me, and she was like "What are you so happy about?" and I had to pretend I was reading an email so she didn't think I was insane.

7. I've always wanted to punch someone in the face like they do in the movies so that they fall back like a tree. Not any one particular person, it's just something I hope to be able to do one day.

8. When Mary and Diana and I went to Disney World senior year of high school, I ran out of money the last day and couldn't buy food in the airport and I was really embarrassed about it. For years I've tried to make up for it by buying stuff for other people. I still think about it, especially when Louie pays for stuff, even though I know rationally that he's not paying because I can't, he's paying because he wants to.

9. For years I made fun of the one fat cheerleader on every squad. Now I look back at pictures and think, oh my god, I was the fat one on our squad.

10. I look for patterns in numbers and it frustrates me when I can't find one. Sometimes at work people's account numbers are really easy or interesting, like 15253545 or 15000015, and I have a really strong urge to blurt out "That's an easy one to remember!" but have to force myself not to say it because that would probably not be considered an appropriate thing to say to a customer.

11. I really love design inspired by nature, but I hate being outside.

12. I tend to hate people at first sight for no apparent reason and then learn to like them later. I live with a "guilty until proven innocent" philosophy.

13. I really, really love Animal Cops on Animal Planet, but I can't eat while I watch it because it makes me nauseous.

14. I feel like I am a member of the Gosselin family (from Jon & Kate Plus 8).

15. I am glad that I am not a member of the Duggar family, because then I would have to wear weird home school skirts. Someone should let Jim Bob and Michelle know that you're not actually supposed to USE all 400 of the eggs women are born with.

16. I have to check out a mall everywhere I go. My favorite is Stamford Mall because it's tall and skinny and there's cool catwalk-type things on the very top floor.

17. Some colors are so beautiful to me that I want to eat them.

18. I like to eat raspberries by flattening them out, then separating all the little balls and eating them one by one.

19. One time I kicked a goose. It wasn't animal cruelty, it was self defense. It was attacking me, and that was the only way I could get away.

20. I have always wanted to go to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. I'd like to bring matches and see what happens! Just kidding.

21. I sometimes think that it would be a lot easier to pretend I'm pregnant than to have people think I'm fat.

22. I have played over 1000 games of Canasta on Yahoo.

23. I have at least one shoe in every color.

24. Apparently I have really good customer service skills, which is funny because usually in my head I'm thinking about how stupid/annoying/ugly the customer is.

25. I think that making fun of people is one of the funnest things in the world to do. And everyone thinks so, people just don't like to admit it.
