20 Things About Me Meme...
This was taken from chaos_pockets.
1. I can think about things and come up with long paragraphs for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ship_manifesto essays--while sound asleep.
2. Related to point one: I can remember these long paragraphs, and just write them down once I wake up the next morning.
3. I'm deathly allergic to mango, pineapple and passion fruit.
4. My first word was "mailman". Apparently, I would sit and watch for the mail to come when I was little.
5. My first memory concerns my sister having a temper tantrum, while Dad was showing us around an airport. Not so strange until you consider my age: 6 months old.
6. I love to write essays--if you've read theship_manifesto essays, you shouldn't be surprised.
7. I have an Associate's Degree in Applied Science, with a Major in Office Systems. Barely survived my final semester. See point 9 for the reason for that.
8. I love only one brand of bread: Bunny Bread. (If you haven't heard of it, I think it's because it's only available in certain states.) I have been informed that I used to hop like a bunny when I was 2, to imitate the commercials. Vaguely remember this. *facepalm.*
9. If you've been on my Friends List a long time, you know this: During my final semester of college, I got weaker and weaker the further I walked, severe chest pain, unable to breath, severe pain, coughing, and a few other problems I probably forgot. A few months after graduating, I finally went to the doctor, and was immediately hospitalized. I had severe anemia and double pnemonia. (This is also when I discovered item #3. Not fun.) Two weeks after it should have killed me, my diploma finally arrived in the mail. (Graduate in winter, you get it mailed to you.) I started laughing at the irony.
10. Dogs love me. Cats love me. Stray animals love me. When my neighbor's dog runs away from home, he stays on my front porch all night. (right next door.) I like animals, and they keep showing up. (No, I refuse to let another cat live here--one is enough. My cat chases the other animals away.)
11. Someday, I want to go back to college, to get a degree in Library Science. Currently, that might not happen due to how expensive it is.
12. I watch Passions. I'm not ashamed to say, that I'm addicted to the show. Why do I watch? Probably for the bizarre plots, and to see how far they will go.
13. I went 11 years without going to the theatre. Batman Begins broke the record, I'm happy to say.
14. I rarely ping people on AIM when I'm online, just in case they're busy. Also, out of politeness, I will not jump on them the second they come back from being away or sign on.
15. When I eat spaghetti, I use a separate bowl for the tomato sauce. I only eat the noodles, and pour a drop at a time on. I won't eat the meat, since I don't like it--but I will reheat it and eat it combined the next day. I'm strange, and know it, at least. :D
16. I love to eat raw potatoes, thinly sliced. (Don't worry, they've been properly washed and everything.)
17. On occasion, one of my ankles will suddenly go out. It doesn't hurt, and is fine within a few seconds. The reason? All through middle school, the gym teacher forced everyone to run over a mile, without stopping to walk or jog. That, and run as fast as possible, jump over a bar that would be raised, and land on a mat. If you're ankle twisted as you landed, tough. (Then, in 10th grade, the teacher made everyone run around the gym at least 1 or 2 miles. Hated it, but apparently I was good at it. At least, according to the teacher.)
18. I don't like to drink Sprite when it's cold. I prefer to drink it at room temperature.
19. I never wear socks at night, because I am extremely warm natured.
20. When I was 5, Dad was trying to teach me how to throw people over my shoulder. (Self defense, I think.) He tried to go limp so I could--and I did. He landed on the bed, and the bed broke. He hurried out, and found a wooden board to stick under it, so that it would make the bed level. We swore each other to secrecy--and it lasted 10 years. When the bed suddenly broke, Dad and I pretended not to know why. I eventually admitted it to Mom years later.

4. My first word was "mailman". Apparently, I would sit and watch for the mail to come when I was little.
Who can inspire first words?
Will all those fine letters
Who can make Ray wait for hours on end for more exciting news pieces?
The mail-man can!

Your memory still scares me ;)

*cracks up* :D
*wonders if Ray's folks have a video camera :lol:*
I'm strange, and know it, at least. :D
But it's a fun kind of strange. :D
16. I love to eat raw potatoes, thinly sliced. (Don't worry, they've been properly washed and everything.)
Wow, someone's really impatient for her chips :lol:
gym teacher
You already know what I think of this piece of... work.
18. I don't like to drink Sprite when it's cold. I prefer to drink it at room temperature.
You must save a fortune at corner-store type places where they charge different prices for warm and cold drinks...
I am extremely warm natured.
Any rumours arising from people never having seen you and Rachel Summers/Grey in the same room are entirely coincidental :lol:
20. When I was 5, Dad was trying to teach me how to throw people over my shoulder.
This reminds me of a time in high school, where we were doing this exercise where we were meant to pull eachother upright from sitting at the same time. It didn't exactly work that way for me :lol:
"Dude, where'd you go?"
"I'm over here!" from behind me suddenly...

*wonders if Ray's folks have a video camera :lol:*
Thankfully, they never have owned one. *laughs*
"I'm over here!" from behind me suddenly...
I'm grateful we never had to do that one. :lol:

Definitely. And at the theatre it's more expensive than $2.50 for a cup of Sprite. I think they even charge for water. Better to smuggle your own water in. (Which I have done.)
