25 Random Things about me

A friend of mine on FaceBook asked me to write 25 extremely random things about me and I thought I would also put it on my blog...

1. I love culture and the arts - but also love punk and some pop music and old music from the 1940s.

2. There are some songs I hear that really speak to my soul and move me to tears.

3. I love the rain more than the sunshine at times (unless it rains constantly for days and days and then I need the sun but still stay out of it).

4. Even though my mom drives me crazy, I miss her very much and hate that I live so far away from her although I NEVER want to move back to the midwest.

5. I have an addiction to cheese and almost all milk products.

6. I have a major thing for men with accents - Spanish, Scottish and British are my real downfalls

7. I really have a thing for big strong men although I like any man that can make me laugh. He has to have a great sense of humor.

8. Extremely religious people scare me and anger me.

9. I love British Comedy and can recite a lot of Monty Python movie lines and sketches by heart – Anything with John Cleese; Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, How to Irritate People

10. I would rather sing Opera or Jazz than listen to it

11. I am friggin happy that I am divorced and never want to get married again.

12. I would like more close friends instead of casual friends.

13. I love hanging out with gay men or anyone fun and flamboyant.

14. I remember my first slow dance when I was 14 at a cast party for Finian's Rainbow - It was to Blue Eyes by Elton John with Mark Howard - my major high school crush...

15. I want to go to Europe and experience everything (culture, food, music, pubs, sports, life, love).

16. I love soccer but can’t find many friends who want to go to matches with me.

17. I’m terrified of dying.

18. I love animals and give money to a lot of animal rescue organizations.

19. I can’t watch any movie where an animal dies – I was traumatized by Old Yeller and Bambi and could never watch Lassie because she would always get in trouble…

20. I love scary movies – since I’ve always been afraid of things this is almost like conquering that fear.

21. I love to see and try new things – new friends, new activities, new places, new and different foods.

22. I don’t care how corny I am when I say that I believe and live customer service in any job that I have. It ticks me off when I see rude or mean people in customer service positions.

23. I grew up in an extremely white trash neighborhood and went through a few sad and scary things

24. I love anything about the Paranormal (Although I don't really believe in it and am a skeptic with an open mind) and love going on ghost hunts although I never fit in with most of the people who also like it.

25. I want to be healthy and happy with more and more confidence and never want to care what people think of me or the things I like. So when I get to be a very old lady I don't want to regret ANYTHING that I didn't do.
