twenty-five
I was tagged by JadedJanissary. By now, I am relatively sure that all of you have done this survey – I held out for so long! – but if you haven’t yet, I tag you, Pikachu.
25 Things about Yours Truly
1. Officially, I’ve never broken a bone . . . but my left-hand ring finger is pretty wonked up (read: bent) from an intense b-ball game with my dad.
2. I played the trumpet from sixth grade until my senior year of college. I am terrible at it. People always figure that after playing for so long, you’re only being modest by saying you aren’t good at the instrument. I am not being modest. I am a horrendous trumpet player.
3. I love flannel.
4. I type about 28349324 words a minute. I used to pwn my keyboarding exams. I should really email my teacher…
5. I am addicted to Special K cereal. The new blueberry kind is pretty fantastic.6. I started my first Xanga on August 1, 2003. It still exists. My current side blog, if you will, has been kickin’ since October of 2004, but I try to keep it pretty hush-hush.
7. My ringtone for most everyone is They Might Be Giants’ “Leave Me Alone” (1:18)
8. Justin and I are both big fans of Rio mp3 players, especially the really, really old PMP300 that holds eight songs. I currently rock the Rio Karma.
9. I am dying without the cheap Chinese place around the corner where I got lunch three times a week. I’m detoxing right now and it’s not pretty.
10. I haven’t been to Starbucks in about three weeks and have saved about $40. Yowza.11. My shoe size is 10. It makes it hard to find cute shoes.
12. I’m left handed but I absolutely can’t use a mouse as a lefty.
13. My go-to karaoke song is Meredith Brooks’ “Bitch”. Hilarity. Every time.
14. My favorite number is 31, guitar chord is A7, color is blue (followed closely by orange) and animal is the goat.
15. The top played track on my last.fm charts is Phil Collins’ Against All Odds. Yessssssssssssss.16. When I get home from work, the first site I get on is Xanga…srsly
17. I hate throwing away magazines – I have Disney Adventures back issues from 1991 in Ohio because they are too awesome to throw away.
18. I hate wearing socks.
19. I lurk on forums online but never post . . . my favorite ones to read back in the day were Television Without Pity and Survivor Sucks. I’m too scared to get flamed, tbh.
20. I am terrified of balloons. If there is one in a room and a remote possibility of its popping, I’ll either leave or just sit there twitching uncomfortably.21. I don’t like cheese.
22. My Confirmation name (go Team Lapsed Catholic) was Bernadette. That’s hot.
23. I own the entire Brady Bunch collection on DVD and watch episodes when I get depressed.
24. I scribble my last name when I sign my name – there’s a “vr” in the middle that’s too annoying to write out.
25. I edit a bunch of the fun stuff you see on the partner sites . . . and I should get back to that. soooo…bye

now that’s too cool….thanks for sharing.
(here’s some virtual balloons…so don’t twitch)
I may never forgive you for number 21.
Kidding.
Maybe.
My daughter sold all her back issues of Disney Adventures and Ranger Rick, along with her huge collection of Boxcar Children books. She made more money in that yard sale than I did.
You probably shouldn’t have publicly confessed to a balloon phobia.
You’re left-handed?! You sit next to me M-F and I didn’t even realize! Whoa…these surveys are so informative. =)
Interesting survey.
I love that you work for Xanga and actually use it.
I’m in recovery for saving magazines.
You know what they say about big feet……
Big shoes….
and you got some HOT ones that Im still jealous of!
Good to know about you. Ive done well holding out on this. Phew, I wasnt suckered into it like most of the other suckers. *oops* I mean, Youre not a sucker
Blue is the best color evar!
ha! you did it! :::victory dance:::
Ha. I thought I was the only one who was scared of balloons!
You don’t like cheese? That makes me sad inside. v_v
I sign my name in a completely different way every time I sign it. So far, there have been no problem, so I’m pretty sure signatures don’t really matter.
I like cheese coz I think it’s sexy when it’s all stringy. lol
But I loathe the Brady Bunch.
Hate me now?
DUDE!!!! I still have both my Rio’s from way back in the day! I’ve got the Cali that was 256MB (it’s a laughable amount of storage capacity now a days, isn’t it?) and I’ve got my Fuze. I don’t remeber how much it holds, but it was some where around 10 songs. Those were THE best mp3 players ever! If I didn’t have my G1, I’d be rockin’ a Rio right now.
I even remember posting about the Cali when I got it. Wow! You just took me down memory lane. I wonder what kind of music is on it, if any?
srsly?
Hehehe you don’t like cheese.
i hate wearing socks, too. i get made fun of all the time for it. =)
Twenty five? Oh! Happy birthday! Yay!
Your favorite animal is the goat? Are you secretly a double-agent for LiveJournal?
@chocolatescifi - nooooo, although frank is a pretty cool mascot
You don’t like cheese? I will try to ignore that horrible fact about you.
