I've gone and done it...
I was tagged by my evil weeble (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iamentheos), and I'm waiting for my sister so we can start watching American Idol
To play, start by listing 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. When this is done, choose 10 people to be tagged and write their names at the bottom of your list. No tag backs! Those who get tagged then write their own 10-item list in their own journals. Be sure to include this set of rules.
1. I love comedians and comedy. Some of my favorites are Kathleen Madigan, Gary Gulman (he's got a McGinley joke that will knock us on our asses), Christopher Titus, George Carlin...and many more. I love someone who can make me laugh.
2. I hate exercise. I absolutely hate every single second of it, but I think of it like one of those things like work. It's something I just have to do. But I am suspicious of people who *love* it.
3. The boy is included in this "is suspicious of" grouping because while he doesn't love regular exercise per se, he is uber active in snowboarding, sailing, etc...He really is lucky that I already loved him when I found these things out.
4. I will never forgive President Bush and VP Cheney for using the events on 9/11 - a time when I lost someone very close to me - in order to do whatever the fuck they want.
5. I hate even more that whenever I walk by Ground Zero there is always some asshole tourists who take pictures OF THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF IT like it's a tourist attraction and not a place where people gave their lives.
6. I'm mostly whatever, but as you can see there are certain things that turn me into an angerball. Usually, these things involve stupid, ignorant people.
7. I still listen to New Edition and I'm not ashamed. Well, not ashamed a lot.
8. I have a niece who is 26 who I refuse to let call me "Aunt M..." because it's weird. This annoys my brother, but he doesn't know the pain of having a neice that's only like four years younger than you (or having a brother old enough to be mistaken for your father more than once).
9. I believe in God. I was born/raised Catholic, went to Catholic school, and became sufficiently warped by these things. I wanted to be a priest and no one could make me understand why I couldn't be one...so over the years I've developed my own anti-religion spirituality. I believe in God, just not the dogmatic practics of religion.
10. I spent the entire summer before my senior year of high school living with a family in Salamanca, Spain. It was the best experience of my life.
Further adventures in getting to know me:
volume 1
volume 2
volume 3
I'm not tagging anyone. But if you want to do it, I'll read. I'm a curious girl.

1. I get a lot of joy out balancing my checkbook. No one gets this about me except my mom, who is the same way, but really - the clean orderliness of a balanced checkbook is unparalleled.
2. I have a totally inappropriate crush on Brian Williams. Read his blog, if you don't already - he is so funny: http://dailynightly.msnbc.com/
3. I just recently noticed this about myself - I have to step on and off of trains, escalators, and stair cases with my right foot first or I feel off kilter and unbalanced.
4. I feel sick when I don't eat some kind of meat at lunch.
5. My hair falls out if I don't wash it every day.
6. Peanut M&Ms taste a million times better frozen.
7. I want to get a mini-lemon tree for my house.
8. One of my favorite things about the east coast is that you can get ginger ale anywhere.
9. I started drinking my coffee black to save time and confusion when ordering, and now I don't like it any other way.
10. I am inexplicably attracted to boys who fold up the collars of their wool sport coats against the wind. Think Alec in St. Elmo's Fire. (Naturally I LOATHE boys who pop the collars of their polos. Not cool, Hoya.)

And you can't get Ginger Ale everywhere? That's like WRONG.
