25 things most people don't know about me:
1) I didn't drink coffee until I was 27. I wouldn't have even drank it then but I decided to get a second job as a barista, which, as we all know, is the job of actually making coffee.
2) I hate the sound of a liquid being poured; its a pet peve of epic proportions that can reduce me to a quivering mass of rage.
3) I went on my first date at six. My mother had me go over to a widows house and eat lunch with her. She even dressed me up in a little red jacket and shorts.
4) Coincidentally (or not) I didn't actually kiss a girl until I was 17 because I was mad, mad, shy.
5) I was diagnosed with severe social anxiety about five years ago. My job at the time? Working at one of the biggest clubs in Tampa, working behind a bar.
6) I bartend annually at the Renaissance Festival. No, I do not talk in a queer British accent. Yes, I do make stupid money to do so.
7) I talk to my cat Bones on a regular basis. I don't expect a response from him, mind you, I simply think it's a way to talk out loud. Plus he likes it.
8) I'm a Taurus.
9) I don't give a flying fig about astrology.
10) I don't drink liquor. I prefer beer. Pretty much any decent beer, although I prefer heffeveizens. I think that means "cows are pale" in German.
11) I can't be in a social situation comfortably without a drink in my hand. This could be a beer, a soda, a non-alcoholic beer, whatever; I just need a beverage otherwise I get ridiculously antsy.
12) I've been diagnosed with skin cancer twice and have had surgery to remove it. That's why I have a wicked Frankenstein scar on my forehead. Feel free to look closer next time you see me. Brush your toof first.
13) I dislike my freckles.
14) My shyness is regularly taken as being aloof or stuck-up. Really? Me? Ridiculous. Bah, plebein scum, you're below my station -- away with you.
15) My ears are stupid small.
16) I have broken a thumb, broken a toe, had two concussions, was hit by a car twice and also knocked out twice all in the last year on my bike.
17) Oh, wait, I didn't break my thumb on the bike.
18) I have seven bikes.
19) My best friend is probably my brother.
20) I don't give a fig about astrology. Wait, you already know that. Well, the first time I ate figs was about six months ago and I love them. Indiana Jones pet monkey ate figs and he died because they were poisoned.
21) I wanted to be Han Solo as a child. I even wanted my Mom to buy me a vest like him. I was disappointed I couldn't have a wookie though.
22) I am a huge Star Wars and Star Trek fan. Yes, BOTH. I realize that stating that fact might indeed cause a worm hole of epic proportions to emerge and destroy the universe due to the illogical possibility of both, but I remain steadfast in this belief.
23) I ride my bike everywhere. I love it. I've ridden a bike for over twenty (ow!) years now. I want to get rid of my Jeep and motor through life on two wheels.
24) I am in love with New York City.
25) I want to have New York City's babies.
