20 Random Things You Didn't (or Maybe Did) Know About Me

I'm really bored lately. Can't keep on task and don't really care. I think I need a little mental break to chill out, then get back to it.

Awhile ago on Pinterest (I LOVE Pinterest!!), I saw a post that was something about good questions to ask your husband. In typical pinterest fashion, when I went to the website behind the pin, it was a blog (http://cherishinghopesanddreams.blogspot.ca/2012/01/30-things.html). She had a really killer list of blog topics, which as we know, can be a problem for me. First things first, 20 random things you didn't (or maybe did) know about me.

1) My favourite colour is purple... okay, yes, you probably knew that about me.

2) As a child, I was quite certain that I would live in Toronto when I grew up.

3) My guilty pleasure is pop music.

4) When I'm listening to music in my car, I am having "concerts". I make up the scenario of where I am, who's there, and I'm singing at the top of my lungs as if I was the actual artist on the radio.

5) I skipped kindergarten. Up, I went straight from JK to grade 1. I am awesome.

6) I've played the piano since I was 3, but never took any of the official tests.

7) My favourite movie as a kid was Annie. This inspired me to tap dance. I started taking lessons when I was in grade 5 or 6.

8) I've never caught a fly ball in baseball/softball, even though I played for many years as a kid and have played in a co-ed league ever summer for the past 5 years or so. It's a goal. Every year.

9) I generally find myself quite witty and funny.

10) I met my husband when I was approx. 14 years and 52 days old. That means when I'm 28 years and 104 days old, I will have officially known him for half my life. This happens on November 13, 2012..... or in 26 days.

11) I bought my very first car, a Ford Focus, in September 2007. Her name is Frenchie, and I still drive her.

12) I have three songs permanently stuck in my head. I may start singing them at any time. They are:
  • Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time
  • Hanson - MmmBop
  • The Tokens - In The Jungle (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)
13) I hate Hanson.

14) I have celiac disease. It's an auto immune disorder. You will have it forever and ever and ever and there is no cure. The only way to keep the symptoms of it at bay is to live on a gluten free diet. I haven't (intentionally) eaten anything with gluten in it for over 10 years.

15) I think my cats are cuter than your cats. Your cat might be cute, but no one is cuter than Chloe and Ralph. And yes, Ralph is cuter than Chloe.

16) I wrote my LSATs and considered going to law school. I scored a 158 and was in the 75th percentile rank. I suck at reading comprehension and it killed me on the exam. I then decided I didn't want to go to law school and never even applied.

17) I still don't know what I want to do with my life.

18) I've been going to London Knights hockey games since I was 9 years old. They sucked really bad when I started going and I was contently made fun of for going to the games. I still find it embarrassing to admit that I have season tickets. Even thought they are awesome now and everyone loves them.

19) I've started to realize that next year, I will for sure know more than I know right now. But I'll still be shocked about how I viewed life and the things I assumed right now when I look back in a year.

20) I despise talking on the phone. I get all nervous and awkward and can't stand it!
