Facebook notes have lately been dominated by these “25 Random Things About Me” tags. I feel like i say random things about myself on a regular basis so it makes sense to turn it into a list. I would have eventually done it even if i wasn’t tagged.
1. Irish Spring is my favorite soap.
2. I am always in the middle of many books at once. anywhere between 5-7 of ‘em.
3. It took me moving to Calgary to really become a Canucks fan.
4. I love maps and atlases. i’ll go into a bookstore and spend an hour looking through one atlas. i’ll spend 20 minutes staring at the world map up on my wall and trace my finger along different places in the world. i’ll Google Map different cities and places for fun. stuff like that.
5. I don’t exactly know what a food processor is.. i have a vague idea but have never used one. “it’s so white.” haa.
6. I am very amazed when i see stars in the sky.
7. I had always wished i took an astronomy course when i was at UBC. not for “easy credits” but because i actually find it interesting.
8. I love city lights and like to compare the night skylines of different metropolitan cities.
9. I own over 20 MLB jerseys. (i love baseball!)
10. I think it’s interesting when people have favorite biblical characters. i find it partly strange but i understand why cos i have my favorites too. Joseph and Peter.
11. I change my desktop picture often and it’s usually from National Geographic’s website.
12. The #1 place i’d like to go for travel’s sake is Greece.
13. My 2nd Grade teacher made me cry a lot cos she always criticized my handwriting.
14. I often come across lyrics which i wish i had written.
15. I secretly want to buy an engineering Iron Ring off of eBay.. maybe not so secret cos i’ve told people that before.
16. I put milk in the bowl first, then the cereal. people find that strange but it makes sense to me cos then your cereal won’t get soggy.
17. I smile every time “Womanizer” comes on the radio cos i like it!
18. “The Family Man” is my favorite Christmas movie.
19. I love Mexican candy!
20. I like knowing that i started using a metal water bottle before it became popular.. before Nalgene got recalls and before Sigg capitalized on it!
21. Andy Stanley is my favorite-ist preacher.
22. I’m not a fan of shortening “because” to “cuz.” i always write it out as “cos.”
23. I like watching American Idol and Season 6 was my favorite. Sometimes i fear thinking someone sings well but it’d turn out that they weren’t very good at all. that’s never happened but it’s a weird, little fear.
24. Conan O’ Brien is so so funny.
25. One of the first cassettes i ever bought was the single, “Another Night” by Real McCoy. Good times!

20 MLB jerseys?? do you wear them or keep them in mint condition? also, what’s mexican candy like?
this is a great list. my favourite is 15, because I secretly want the same thing.
Did you know, apparently you can use Irish Springs soap to ward off mice. The cashier at Zellers once told me that because I was buying mouse traps to catch this mouse in our house.
Jill- i don’t wear them often. definitely when i go to games tho!
and mexican candy is SO good. they use a lot of tamarind (which tastes gross on it’s own) but added with sugar and chili, YUM. =D
Beth – i’m glad this isn’t as bizarre to you!
Mindy- i hope i won’t need to test that out! but thanks for the info
hiya! i like reading these lists. i’ve started reading them bottom to top. anyway, being that i’m white, own a food processor, and actually use it i thought it my duty to enlighten you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_processor basically it chops stuff up from coarse to smooth, depending on your need.
you may find this interesting: #54 on the list of stuff white people like. http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/
i pretty much fit all of them.
#80 makes me laugh because of my… situation. thanks for finding my blog!
thanks for enlightening me on the Food Processor! though, i find that kitchen contraptions take up so much space! e.g. my rice cooker.. naturally. haha
and yes, i’ve def chuckled my way through stuffwhitepeoplelike ‘a many times =p..i only wish they posted more frequently.
another hilarious site is http://www.1000awesomethings.com.. and they post 2-3 times a week =D
#9 – HOPEFULLY THE PANAMANIAN BASEBALL SEASON IS STILL GOING WHEN YOU GET HERE AND WE’LL GO TO A GAME!!
