1. I keep the inside of my car clean. Like clean, clean. People get in and the first thing they say is, "Your car is so clean!" However, it always smells like sweat and chlorine. Ew.
2. I may or may not have a binder with 190 pages of vocabulary words. Okay, I do. Brotha P and I e-mail each other new found or esoteric words that we come across then challenge each other to use them in a sentence...while in a meeting at work. It's a game that only he and I find amusing. I'm not just a run nerd.
3. I love to make training plans. Love. Mine are always pink and green with an incredibly cool font.
4. I have a thing for fonts. A good typeface is art.
5. Breathy whistling makes me stabby. Actually, regular whistling can send me over the edge too. Yet, sometimes I find myself whistling. But never breathily.
6. Broccoli in any form is no bueno. People think that because I'm a vegetarian I should like broccoli. I've tried; it just ain't happening. However I adore roasted Brussels sprouts.
7. I do not care for sauce on pizza. Actually, I do not care for red sauce at all. I'm a pesto girl.
8. Olives are perfection on a pizza. Black and green. Also, green chiles. And artichoke hearts. Just, light sauce please.
9. I prefer to write in pencil. Specifically, mechanical pencil, .7mm. Note, my name is not Vanessa. I put a different name on my To Do list each week. Keeps things interesting.
10. When I try, I have very nice handwriting. My printing however, is always atrocious.
11. I've always wanted to dye my hair light pink ala Gwen Stefani in the late 90's. Our conservative dress code specifically prohibits hair color of an "unnatural hue." Major sads.
12. I want a compost bin with worms. I feel guilty for throwing out things that could compost. Plus, it would be fun to add "Worm Farmer" to my list of hobbies, right? When it cools down I'm going to order some. I think I can make the bins myself.
13. I rarely remember to wear earrings and regret getting my ears pierced. The rule was that I had to wait until I was 13. I waited til 14 so that I could get them pierced with my best friend. (she had to wait too)
14. All of my cars have been stick shift. Guys are always surprised and impressed by this. Girls never notice. They just see the clean and smell the chlorine.
15. I still really want a rescue dog. When I get one, its name will be Andrew, girl or boy. Or maybe Paul. I'm expanding my search from just Greyhound to include Fila, a Brazilian Mastif. Clearly, it is essential that my dog outweigh me by 50 pounds.
16. The song Rag Doll by Aerosmith makes me think of kissing a boy I liked at the top of the Oil Derrick at Six Flags the summer I was 15.
17. It makes me a touch melancholy to think that how long I'll have to wait to be kissed again. Really kissed. One thing is for sure, my next first kiss (if I ever get one) I will be kissed, not the kisser. I initiated my last first kiss and always wished I hadn't. You gotta work for my kisses!
18. I love my vacuum more than any one person should adore a household appliance. It's a Dyson, it's pink and I absolutely love to clean. I get an absurd sense of satisfaction dumping the filth out of the container.
19. I've never had a professional pedicure. Yet I take great pride in keeping my feet well groomed. Janky runner feet is one badge of honor I do not desire.
20. Sometimes I get really wrapped up reading your old posts, then I freak out when I think of you checking analytics wondering why I spent an entire day on your blog.
So, whattabout you? What's your random fact for Friday?
roast brussels sprouts are my all time fav beggie!
ReplyDeleterandom fact: all the art on my walls was done by me. But I rarely tell anyone ;)
I can attest that you do have really nice handwriting! :) What is breathy whistling? My random Friday fact would be that I can curl my toes under my feet and walk on them. This fact used to entertain my sister for hours.
ReplyDeleteI completely disagree with you about broccoli, but I completely agree with you about olives on pizza!
ReplyDeleteI like it when people read my old posts, so I would be flattered if someone spent a day on my blog.
#9 - It amuses me that you find the pencil thing more interesting than the "Vanessa" thing. If I ever make a to-do list, I'm stealing that idea.
ReplyDelete#20 - I think it's a geek thing. Or maybe a storytelling thing. I like a well-told story. So, yes, if I run across your blog and really like it, I'll go back to the beginning at some point and read it from the beginning like it's a book. But in piecemeal fashion when I'm board at work.
Love this post! Such random but amusing things :)
ReplyDeleteRandom things about me: I have never had a bloody nose or broken a bone. I secretly want to be a 1950's housewife (well with a few changes) and I think sometimes I have a little OCD.
I am totally with you on broccoli...I have tried to like it and I just don't. You and I could totally share a pizza...delish.
ReplyDeleteMy random fact..I am prom queen in my high school...very hard to believe now...
I spend WAY too long reading people's old posts, too! Glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteI have a rescue dog. She's absolutely wonderful. But does not outweigh me by 50lbs.
ReplyDeleteSome great randomness there. You and I have a few of these things in common - the font thing, olives, the pink hair! Oh and I do tend to read old posts, too.
ReplyDeleteI am the same on fonts and pesto. People look at me funny when I ask if the font can be changed to something curly or bubbly.
ReplyDeleteAs for red sauce, its just too much for me. I like extremely light or an olive oil based sauce.
oh my gosh your training plan is so cute! How did you make that! I want one :) And you have never had a pedicure?! wow!
ReplyDeleteI triple heart my dyson, although it is not pink. and i love pesto!!!
ReplyDeleteI spend lots of time reading old blog posts too and worry about the same thing! Also, pedicures aren't all they're cracked up to be. I prefer to do my own, save the money and avoid awkward conversations with strangers.
ReplyDeleteMy random fact: If I could choose to do anything as a profession, I would play the guitar and be a folk singer.
oh how I love BIG dogs! I want one someday!!! Of course, that being said...I have a BAD habit of letting my dogs sleep in bed with me. Pretty sure there wouldn't be room for me if I had a Mastif in my bed! haha!
ReplyDeleteI have the most awful handwriting - print...cursive...it's all the same. Pretty sure this means I was supposed to be a doctor and missed my calling!
4 words- YOU ARE SO CUTE!!! love this list!
ReplyDeleteI love learning more about you! =) By the way, the fact that you put a different name on your to do list cracks me up! I love it! That way if it ever gets lost, no one will suspect you! =)
ReplyDelete#3: where's the "rest" ?!
