25 Things About Me That I'm Sure You Were Dying to Know

Facebook is a social networking site. There has been a posting going around requesting people to write 25 things about themselves. It's a fun little way to get to know your friends (or acquaintances) a little bit better. I figured you all would enjoy to get to know me a little bit better.

1. I'm an excellent swimmer and could swim all day if I were so inclined (although little things like eating and the need to pee get in the way of that)

2. I have been pierced a total of 10 times. I currently have 7. I hate needles. Go figure.

3. I really dislike math. I'm taking stats this semester. This is my new lover as I'm about to get screwed.

4. My favorite inanimate object is a bed. Take that as you wish.

5. On that note, I've had mono four times. The first when I was 9. Gives wild child a whole new meaning. (I actually got it from swimming)

6. I love to read. I will read over watching tv or movies any day of the week. Well, reading of my choice, not required reading.

7. I have this weird habit of buying workout tapes... and then not working out to them.

8. My favorite art piece of all time is a print of the American flag with the First Amendment written into it. I'm big on free speech. Clearly. If you hadn’t noticed. If you really hadn’t noticed, then you haven’t spoken to me for any length of time. You might want to get on top of that.

9. I try to be positive at most times, yet I am the most cynical person I know. Such contradictions in myself make life fun.

10. I hit a second puberty when I was around 22. My feet grew a half size, I grew two inches, and I got gray hair.

11. I do not know the meaning of tan. If I'm in the sun for longer than five minutes, I go a lovely shade of lobster red. Stop trying to convince me there are ways around this. There are not.

12. I'm training to be a personal trainer. Proof is in the pudding - I've already lost 20 pounds on my own.

13. My hair is curly. It's insanely curly. It takes me hours to do it on my own. Therefore, I get it done.

14. I own thousands of dollars worth of make-up and I do love to play with it.

15. Speaking of thousands of dollars… my shoes ain’t cheap. I do love them, treasure them, and thoroughly dislike those who steal them. Yes, two pairs were once upon a time stolen, she never apologized, therefore we don’t speak.

16. I love tulips – preferable over roses any day of the week. Not that I’d bitch if I got roses or anything.

17. I love my organized chaos. It works for me. I know exactly where everything is, even if it doesn’t have an official place.

18. My closet is anally organized – once I actually get my clothes hung up after doing 10 loads of laundry at one time. It’s organized by ROYGBIV – yes, the order of the rainbow. Black, white, gray, and brown go on one end, then the rainbow, then prints/patterns if there is no dominant color.

19. I’m a list-making machine. It’s a compulsive habit. I NEVER follow the list, but I must make them. I’ll make the same list, but different, many times over.

20. I have an addiction to iced tea. Two packets of Equal stirred in, no lemon. If there’s lemon in it, I’m not happy.

21. Slow drivers on open roads annoy me. Get out of my way. It’s not tough. If I want to drive fast, and potentially get a ticket, that’s my business. If I want to drive fast and you slow me down, I don’t promise to not flip you off.

22. I used to never take pictures. I always had a camera, but never used it. Now I use it for the most inane pictures that are goofy, dorky, and downright scary. Luckily, I have friends that are said adjectives when taking pictures.

23. I am dying to go to Greece. I can’t lay out on a boat all day long due to that lobster problem, but I’d still love to try. Oh, and doing the touristy thing sounds fun too.

24. I collect magnets. I haven’t received one in a while, so if you’re so inclined to get me an “I love you Morgan” present, feel free to give me a magnet. Dirty, nice, funny, whatever.

25. I love the fact that I went to Cal. I hated living in Berkeley. But… GO BEARS! One of the requirements of the men I date is that they didn’t go to the farm and that they can deal with watching football (preferably enjoy it) – that makes two requirements, doesn’t it? You get the gist. If you don’t, then... I can't really help you.
