2wenty 5ive

1. I love cats.
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.
