2. My mom, her sister, my sister, and I have all had serious near death experiences when we were kids.
3. My right ear is higher than my left ear. For a long time I just thought that every pair of sunglasses I ever tried on were crooked.
4. When I was little I was scared of the eye doctor because I thought she could see my thoughts when she looked in my eyes.
5. I'm a mild germaphobe. (mild compared to Howie Mandell)
6. My career choices change every few weeks but there are five main ones in steady rotation.
7. I like animals more than people.. I know there are lots of folks who say that but I think I'm one of the few who mean it.
8. I struggle with anxiety and depression.
9. The positive thing that comes from number 8 is how introspective I became as a result. I question myself and my beliefs constantly to the point that I am very confident in my final conclusion.
10. I hate trends with the fiery burn of a thousand suns. Not the trends themselves, but in the sense that people's taste and opinions change with what's "in for fall."
11. I have to listen to classical music when I'm driving in rush hour because it prevents me from getting road rage.
12. I didn't like school from my first day of preschool to present, and yet I'm still in university.
13. I can't keep in my laughter when I hear or read a funny word, no matter what the circumstance.
14. When I saw other kids littering at my public school I would yell at them until they picked it up, plus two other pieces of garbage.
15. I get really neurotic when my house is slightly messy and clean everything up.. that being said, my bedroom is constantly a disaster and I don't mind.
16. It seems that the older I get, the harder time I have sticking up for myself.
17. (in regards to number 16) My mom loves to tell the story of how I beat up a boy in grade 3 when I was in grade 1 because he took my swing.
18. I am very shy and awkward when I meet new people, and it usually takes me a really long time to be myself around someone I just met recently.
19. I worry about things beyond my control, a lot.
20. When I was six I went through a phase where I would jump off the highest point of the playground at school with my umbrella so i can fly like Mary Poppins. This happened every day for a good 3 months... thank goodness for sand playgrounds (why are those rare now?)
21. I visit my grandparents often, and every time I have to spend at least an hour looking at old pictures.. I know every album by heart.
22. I can never laugh at the "evil monkey" joke on Family Guy because this was a genuine fear of mine when I was a tater. NIGHTMARES CONSTANTLY!
23. The only kids I like are my cousins. I find all others annoying and sticky.
24. I can't take pictures of myself. I look at people with albums of just themselves in a variety of (mildly) different poses and can't fathom it. I'm too awkward to pose for myself.
25. I have episodic insomnia, which is why I'm writing this so late.
im glad you included the story when you punched that kid in my class. if you didnt i was going to.
