My friend, Jenny, posted 25 Random Things about herself on her blog. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I already knew most of them.
So here is my list. You can see how many of them you did/didn't know about me:
1. I love sauted spinach. I have been known to eat an entire bag of spinach (sauted in butter with onions) all by myself.
2. I initially intended to study Chinese History in college (with an emphasis in chinese medicine). But when I transfered to UW, they didn't have a good selection of chinese history courses, so I switched to US History, with an emphasis in constitutional history.
3. I hated history in high school. I only studied it in college because I wanted to learn more about China. But now I like it.
4. I can't live happily without a cat in my home. (A dog, however, is totally expendable. Anyone out there want a great chocolate lab?)
5. I love to drive. I am happiest when I'm behind the wheel of a car, preferably going really fast.
6. I can't sew, play the piano, or the drums - even though I've had lessons in each.
7. I have a very hard time thinking of things to say (or write) about myself. I'm a much better listener.
8. I can't stand smelly wash rags. They make me gag. And if I accidentally touch a smelly rag, my hands stink for the rest of the day and I can't get rid of the smell.
9. I love sunny days, but I don't like heat. If forced to make a choice, I'd pick being cold over being hot.
10. I shower at night by candlelight. It relaxes me.
11. Taco Time is my favorite fast food. Too bad it's so expensive.
12. I have major noise issues. I can't stand background noise (TV, radio, lots of people talking at once).
13. I don't like to make phone calls.
14. I love grammar. I could spend hours reading grammar books. Grammar jokes make me laugh out loud.
15. Someday, I want to travel around the world by myself.
16. I despise having hair near my face. That gives me 2 choices - super short, or long enough for a ponytail.
17. I've ridden in a hot air balloon and the Goodyear blimp.
18. I believe in guardian angels.
19. I hate (Is there a stronger word than that? Despise? Abhor? Loathe?) being a house guest.
20. My dream car is a Jeep. Olive green.
21. I prefer to be barefoot, especially when I'm outside.
22. I'm terrified of drowning, but I love to swim.
23. I have worn a toe ring on my right middle toe since high school (20+ years).
24. I have 2 tattoos. (I think most everyone knows that, but I'm running out of things to write.)
25. I have sat naked with total strangers, and I've jumped into a hole cut into a frozen lake. Gotta love Finland!
Phew! That was hard! I'd love to read 25 Random Things about you. Are you up to the challenge?

Well, I learned a few things about you. I thought it was Micah that had to have a cat, didn't know that you enjoyed them as well...that may make me think a bit more about our friendship :)
I didn't know you had 2 tatoos! Same with the grammar. You must hate to read my blog. I'm terrible with grammar!
I want to do this but I think it might take me a few days to think of 25 things!
Well, now I know you even better!
I might have had a good 25 secrets before last November, when I started my blog. Now I'm down to maybe 3. Anyone who knows me will tell you 1) I write exactly the way I speak, and sadly, 2) everything I put in my blog is true.
So much for the mystery!
You had a China bug too, hu? I went through a big China phase that satarted when I read the Good Earth long ago. Then I read anything of Pearl Buck's that I could find and lived vicariously through her. . . I still like China. In fact, I would love to go visit China since we're so darn close. It was fun to learn more about Brooke!
Nice to see that Nathan didn't make it into your top 25. I was feeling badly since Jen only mentioned me as an illegal alien
I learned a ton about you! I guess #7 is pretty true. We're going to have to do something about that, because you're a very interesting person! Some I knew part way, like #2, I didn't know you started in Chinese History, but I know you ended up in US History. Others like #10, I didn't know at all, but then again, how would I? and I did know #7, #9, #11, #13, #24. Thanks for sharing!
I wrote a 25 things list, but you're STILL not on Facebook, so I guess you can't read it....
Fun to read. I too, hate smelly wash rags, hair in my face and being barefoot. I wonder if it's herreditary. I'll have to ask my dad if gramma was like that.
All my facebook and blogger friends are wanting me to do this. I tease them saying what possibly don't you know about me! I tell everyone everything!! LOL!
Good to find out more about you!
I posted my list on Facebook, I -- whoops, sorry. :-)
[Maybe I can email it to you, how's that?]
