  this has been spreading through facebook for the past couple of weeks. i (kind of) refuse to do it under my real name, but i thought i would enlighten the rest of you here.

  Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

  (i’m not going to tag anyone, but if you would like to do it, please link back so i can read too).

  25. i hate shopping but i have just discovered that i love dresses. maybe it’s just the way they look because i never really liked wearing them. but everytime i get the urge to shop, i go to dresses.
  24. i can sense what drivers do; it’s more than just the fact that i’m a driver myself. in most situations, i know what a driver will decide to do and i compensate. i haven’t been wrong yet.
  23. i wish as the oldest child of my father that i was taken a little bit more seriously; it’s only because i’m a girl. i can make big boy decisions too.
  22. i have been vegetarian for 13 years and vegan for 3; i think i get more rude remarks as a vegan than a vegetarian. and no, i don’t miss the meat.
  21. i love twizzlers.
  20. i still love SAABS
  19. for every book i’ve read, i probably own 6 books that i haven’t read yet. i don’t think i’ll ever stop buying enough books so i can read all the ones i’ve got. resistance is futile.
  18. i used to love star trek like nobody’s business; i have collector’s items and lots of star trek novels. then voyager and enterprise hit the airwaves and i let it go. still love deep space nine though; that was my show!
  17. i LOVE music. i don’t think you understand: i LOVE music. i need it every day, all the time, even if i’m singing it. i would rather be blind then deaf, i love music so much. i love the lyrics, the beats, the melodies and the mix! i could go on…
  16. it’s a common misconception when people meet me, they think i’m arrogant and rude when in reality, i’m shy and quiet. i’m like that dangerous animal; i’m more scared of you!
  15. i think i’ve grown up more in the past 4 years than i have for the last 25. things and people behaviors make so much more sense to me now. suddenly i get how to function in this crazy world.
  14. i cannot spell; i need spell check for everything. and i can’t do math in my head; i can do multiplication (memorization), add/subtract small numbers, but don’t ask me what 15% of 72 is because i need a calculator for that.
  13. i’m not computer savvy at all, but i do know more than the average person. i give all the credit to my brother al, who is the real computer wizard.
  12. i’m rather intuitive with technical things, but with emotions, not so much.
  11. i keep on having the dream where i talk about my new novel on the to.day show with m. lauer. i guess i should start on that book then.
  10. i like giving off the perception that i know what i’m doing/talking about when i really don’t know what i’m doing/talking about.
  09. i’m gonna be a PhD. period. nothing will stop me; people think i’m crazy but i don’t care. the crazies are the ones that turn dreams into reality.
  08. i have never been kissed. yes. never. yet.
  07. seven is my favorite number; my favorite color: sky blue (not quite sky, like costa rican blue…)
  06. i still kind of want maxwell to be my husband… but so do a whole lot of other women.
  05. i always wanted to do gymnastics when i was younger, but my disability prevented that.
  04. i like to run. people avoid the treadmill at the gym, but i look for the best one.
  03. i have lost 135 lbs to date and i did it all on my own (and mr. f; he’s awesome). i would have never ever thought i could be here; the things i can do and wear, i never thought i would ever be able to.
  02. i do my best thinking when i talk to myself outloud in the car. let people think i’m crazy
  01. to clear my mind, sometimes i just sit in absolute quiet.

  peace.

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
