1. I got this idea from a trash magazine- celebrities make these lists and I love gossip magazines!
2. I wish I were taller, darker and had curly hair.
3. I have major OCD and I need all the labels facing out in the fridge, books in size order, clothing hanging the same way in the closet etc. Apparently my children inherited this uninteresting trait.
4. I drive like I am 14 or 84 years old (ie like crap). I may be too dumb to master it- have been trying for decades.
5. I am a vegetarian but I am an animal hater (unpopular I know, but sincere).
6. I adore dark dark chocolate (with sea salt!) but strongly dislike milk chocolate crap imitations.
7. I have known F since we were 14. We have been married almost 9 years and together almost 15!
8. I am obsessed with coupons, deals, and saving money.
9. There is nothing I like more than smooshing in bed with F and midgets (will need a bigger bed soon).
10. I have a high threshold for pain and do not mind labor.
11. I have a bright green birthmark on my butt- in case you ever need to id my body.
12. I love cop/mafia/crime tv shows.
13. I do not have cable but I see over 200 movies a year.
14. I seem like a bossy bitch to some but I am quite nice (just very opinionated).
15. I like rap and hip hop and wish I went out dancing more often (ie more than once a decade).
16. I have had a crush on Sting for over twenty years.
17. I like children way more than adults (I think most adults are one or all of the following: incompetent, dumb, selfish, mean).
18.**Bonus one** I have six younger siblings but no nephews/nieces yet :(
19. I love recycling items, I am the queen of hand me downs.
20. My torso is too long for my legs and my feet are too big for my body.
21. I've run three marathons and I am still trying to figure out if it is criminal/psychotic to run a fourth.
22. If I were born again I would be a big black man and intimidate people who litter and yell at their children and hit them on the train.
23. I am Jew-ish, agnostic, married to an ex-Catholic atheist and work at a religious school (Episcopalian) (yes, my children will be confused and sans religion).
24. I could live on bread, butter, and cheese.
25. Exercise makes me happy. Indolence makes me violent.
if this were a test I would have approved.
ReplyDeleteI knew 3,4,5,7,10,12,13,14,16,17,19,23,24,and 25 which already gives me 130 points
I suspected 2 and 22.
I could have guessed 8 and 9
I'm surprised at 11 and I wonder if instead of a birthmark is self inflicted paint, also happily surprised at 15.
Glad to know we share 6 and find 21 totally irrelevant.
But the best of all, that somehow sets doubts about 3, is 18 !!!
Last but not least:
ReplyDeleteI'll be visiting Nov 5 for m's bd.
exercise a lot around that date.
Do not cheat and edit 18 !!!
ha ha you caught a missing 18.
ReplyDeletethanks!
i am confused
ReplyDeletewhat 18?
i think i knew everything on this list
I had forgotten to put an 18 which made dad doubt my 3 (ocd) so i added one.(it is 18)
ReplyDeleteof course you knew all of this, we are practically twins:)
ReplyDeletei was going to say that too :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to comment on a few of these - will use reference numbers for clarity...
ReplyDelete5) I love the irony here - I think you would be an interesting interviewee for the next big food documentary that will surely be made.
10) This blows my mind - if I end up having kids, I would like a pre-planned, heavily -drugged, pain-free C-section during which I will be able to engage in breezy conversation and leisurely flip through magazines.
12) I forget - were you obsessed with The Wire? I am just about to finish Season 5 on DVD, and I think about the characters equally as much, if not more often than I think about my own family and friends.
14) To me, you are lovely - a truly amazing & very dear friend:)
yes! i lived and breathed the wire. watched all 5 seasons in a flash- like i was on crack. gaspar and i were talking about re-watching the entire show this spring. i love omar. thank for the compliments. you too are a lovely and amazing friend. come visit! ps j and m still sleep with the little bear you gave one of them (cannot remember who). m says it's her oso's son.xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou don't mind labor? I have a high threshold for pain, you are just plain nutty ;) Although I've heard people say the third time is much easier! Your feet are totally normal for your body. I've grown to like my hair so I don't want to trade anymore. Don't you eat fish now too? Feel pretty good, knew 95% and don't agree with the feet and torso stuff.
