Posted this on Facebook a couple of months ago back when all the cool kids were doing it. I liked it so much I thought I would copy it here!
1. Few things keep my attention for more than 15 minutes, but I will not claim to have ADD because too many people use that as a crutch
2. I can calmly play a trumpet solo in front of 70,000+ people with mics and cameras in my face, but talking in front of 10 people makes me insanely nervous
3. I have two kittens who are brother and sister named Calvin and Clementine.
4. I was born in Germany but left when I was 2 years old so I don't remember anything about it. I'd like to visit someday.
5. I had Lasik about 2 weeks ago and I still keep pushing my non-existant glasses up on my nose
6. The whole reason why I went to Shippensburg U is because it was one of two schools within driving distance of my parents' house, and the only one with a marching band
7. I never played any kind of organized sports until I was 25, but I turned out to be pretty good at football. My two long TD catches are up there in my life's proudest moments
8. Dr. Pepper cured a nasty 3-day bout of layrngitis that I had while in Dallas last month
9. I've had a lot of luck with Craigslist. I found my apartment, most of my living room and dining room furniture, my football team and bookclub there
10. I'm still using the country line dancing skills I learned in high school gym class
11. I was afraid of dogs for many years after a neighbor's dog scratched my face when I was a kid, necessitating 10 stitches, but now I love most dogs I meet
12. I have 2 half brothers that I've never met (will never meet one, as he died about 15 years ago)
13. There's no such thing as too many black sweaters, as long as they're all a little bit different. Same goes for black shoes
14. Given my family's history with grey hair, I'm really surprised to still have my natural color intact
15. My parents splitting up in 2006 was more difficult for me than any of my own breakups
16. I read a lot of really good books in 2008 and I hope to get through more on my to-read list this year
17. I wanted to quit the trumpet almost every day until I was 15. I'm glad I forced myself to stick with it
18. I ran two 5k races last year. I still don't think running is fun, and my times weren't very good, but I'm still proud of myself for doing it
19. My biggest pet peeve is lazy people
20. My second biggest pet peeve is people who air play instruments they don't actually know how to play...in my book, you are free to air accordion ONLY if you can play an accordion for real
21. I once gave a deaf guy at the bar a fake phone number. I felt guilty for like 2.5 seconds but got over it once I realized that a deaf person can't call me anyway
22. My long term financial plan is to win the lottery
23. I didn't realize how scared of heights I was until riding the roller coasters at Cedar Point
24. I still think IUP sucks
25. Every time I go into the family bathroom at work I have to check behind the shower curtain to make sure no one's hiding in there
