A Random Selection of Facts

Things you probably never knew about me:

-I like airplane food. I like the little compartments. I like the bland frozenesque flavour.
-I also like tv dinners. I am secretly excited when people Im house sitting or babysitting for have them, and tell me to help myself to whatever.
-An honest smile from a stranger(any stranger) is one of the things I love most in the world
-One of the most memorable compliments I have ever recieved was a few years ago from two homeless men who thought I couldnt hear them. ("gorgeous girl")
-Ive never felt prettier than that moment
-I love cheesy christmas/halloween/thanksgiving made for tv movies. I seek them out.
-corky romano is one of my all time favorite movies.
-I hate sexy halloween outfits... mostly because they are so unoriginal, but a little because I cant pull them off.
-Im horribly stubborn!
-I refused to take the bus to school as a kid/teenager (except perhaps once.) I was too scared, and felt like it was just one more place I was unpopular/ignored. I told my parents it was because it added a hour on either side of my school day...which was true... and I hated it for the aformentioned reason.
-In contrast, I love taking the city bus. Nobody knows me and I can daydream immpossible interactions with them.
-Ive kissed 4 people in my life one at age 20, one at age 21, one at age 23 and one at age 25
(yes, so those first two werent solitary makeouts sessions...but the last two were)
-If I were to add up the amount of my life Ive been in a relationship, it would be less than 6 months
-If I were to count up the time it took me to get over adam ... it would be 3 years.
-I could probabaly make a list as long as im tall of all the things Im afraid of...most are things im afraid of doing
- The thing I hate most about myself is my lack of courage.
-I love liver and onions, especially if smoothered in bacon.
-As a child I once ordered liver and onions at a restaurant, and no one would believe thats what I actually wanted.
-I was born pidgeon toed and had to wear feet braces as a child.
-I also had braces on my teeth (not worth it!)
-when Im talking politics on the phone I almost always think of the possibility of my conversation being recorded..even though I have very little of interest to say
-As a child I hated french fries. It wasnt until I was about 15 that I started liking them.
- A couple summers ago I faced a period of anxiety/depression. Now that Ive past through that depression, most of my time/energy is spent avoiding falling back into it.
-I will never underestimate the power of depression...it is despair
-I admire most the people who are fearless of making themselves vulnerable.
-I see this as a complete embrace of life in all its strange contradictions.
-Even though I long for that abandon...I am too scared!
-Im secretly excited on days so rainy I get to wear my raincoat.
-Im jealous of every person I see walking a dog.
-I once owned a turtle and two salamanders... the slamanders climbed out of their cage and got stuck under the piano where we found them months later completly dried out.
