ME!As this is my 50th Post (already??), I thought I would honour it by posting 50 random things about me. It’s an updated list that I posted on Facebook about a year and a half ago.
1. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
2. I wanted to be an Astronaut when I was younger. The idea of exploring space was beyond exciting for me.
3. People that bite their forks drive me absolutely crazy.
4. U2 is my favourite band. Ever.
5. I lived on a commune for the early part of my childhood. No electricity and no running water.
6. I thought I was Japanese during these early years, and was rather distraught when I found out I wasn’t.
7. Moving to Toronto was the second best thing I’ve ever done. I met many wonderful people there.
8. Moving home to Vancouver was the best thing I’ve ever done.
9. I have had my heart broken and I have broken hearts. Both are equally painful.
10. I have never known a love as strong as when I saw my twin nephews for the first time. I was heartbroken that I couldn’t hold them because they were in incubators.
11. My family is the most important thing to me. Even extended… all have a huge place in my heart. Blood truly is thicker than water.
12. I talk to myself all the time. Everyday.
13. I can’t listen to a Wham! song and not sing out loud.
14. I over-analyze Everything.
15. My first concert ever was Bryan Adams. September 3, 1985.
16. I am the worst speller ever, but am not too bad at grammar.
17. Photography is my new favourite hobby… I’m getting better at it everyday!
18. I didn’t eat my first hamburger until I was in my 20’s.
19. I could tweeze grey hairs all day long. I’ve had them since I was 12.
20. Cheese is the best food ever. Ever. Chocolate is a close second.
21. I am scared to death of moths and black holes. Oh, and public speaking and being on TV.
22. My favorite movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life” I can recite every line.
23. I work alone, so I get pretty lonely. I’m so happy on days when I have meetings and get to interact with other people.
24. I cry at the On-Star radio commercial where the lady that just had an accident is pregnant.
25. I’m a lurker... I love reading blogs and chat-walls, but I rarely ever comment on them.
26. The book “The Devil Wears Prada” was loosely based on my life in Toronto. Not really, but it could have been.
27. I love stories about time travel.
28. I’m a bit of a nerd.
29. My hair is ridiculously thick and has super-human powers. You can actually floss your teeth with it. Gross. I know.
30. My great-grandmother was the first school teacher in Kelowna. There’s a school named after her there.
31. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 27! I have only driven a handful of times since then.
32. I get crushes on gay guys. Figures.
33. I have won 2 trips from radio contests. Same station, different name. South Beach and New York.
34. I am always proud to say I was born in Vancouver.
35. Two of my best friends are both named Melissa. They are more like sisters though.
36. When I was a kid, I thought others judged me because I didn’t go to Church.
37. I broke my two front teeth on a curb when I was 14. There is nothing more traumatizing than having to go to high school for 2 weeks with no front teeth.
38. I can stare at a beautiful woman for hours examining her face. Angelina?
39. I’m not afraid of getting older, but I don’t want to look older.
40. I haven’t seen the kids I grew up with on the Commune for years, but no matter what, we’re always family.
41. I once saw Mary-Kate or Ashley naked. I’m not sure which one though.
42. When I was in Grade 6 I got to play Zeus in a play.
43. I can play dumb really well… I’m not though.
44. I still cry when I think about the day my dog, Max died… over 13 years ago.
45. I am so proud of my sister for carrying my nephews and being stuck in the hospital for 40 days.
46. I was a latch-key kid when I was 7. It wasn’t a big deal back then; I used to come home and watch Spiderman. I would never let a 7 year old do that now though.
47. Trevor Linden is my favorite Hockey player of all times. When I moved to Toronto, my work gave me a Linden jersey as a going-away gift. Best present ever.
48. Although I love my roommates past and present, (except 1), living alone was amazing, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I could afford to.
49. I am the worst singer, which really sucks because I love to sing.
50. When I was 17, Robson Street was my second home. 20 years later, I've come full circle.
1. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
