Random
June 29th, 2008So I’ve been told by three different people in the last two weeks that I’m quirky and random. Not that those are bad things…but I’m not sure if they are exactly great things either. So lucky you–I’ve decided to share my randomness with you. And, considering I’m one of the only people I know who hasn’t posted a survey as a blog yet, I figured it was long overdue. Enjoy!
My dream job: to be a Professional Sports Writer. Not as in Wally Hall of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette…but as in Rick Reilly, formerly of Sports Illustrated. Honestly–who doesn’t love him?
My biggest irrational fear: I have several. Dirt, fake animals dressed in clothing (and yes–they do exist), splinters. Oh, and also, I have this strange fear that every time I pass someone on a bicycle they are going to fall off and I will accidentally hit them–therefore, causing their death. Okay, strange I know.
Biggest animal/insect phobia: Once again, several. Are you noticing a trend here? Moths, birds, flies, worms, slugs, spiders, snakes, fish, gnats, bats, anything that flies. Honestly, it’s a miracle I even leave my house sometimes.
Favorite color: pink–but only certain shades. I don’t like carnation pink, mauve, or rose. I like electric pink or pink sapphire.
Favorite flower: daisies–specifically, pink gerbera daisies
Least favorite flower: carnations
Character flaw: definitely more than one. I’m such a control freak that I physically cannot make myself use the cruise control on my SUV. True story. Also, I expect people to be as conscientious as I am. I’m typically very hard on others and tend to have a no-nonsense way of thinking.
One thing that attracts me the most: eyes.
One thing that I get complimented the most on: eye color. My eye doctor always refers to my eye color as ‘ice blue’
Something I wish I would have stuck with: nursing. Imagine the money I could be making by now…*sigh*
Place I want to visit the most: Italy–anywhere in Italy. Oh, and also Ireland.
Place I want to visit the least: China/Japan/anywhere in Asia
Something I say all of the time: “It is what it is.”
I go to bed watching: Sportscenter
Disney character I identify the most with: sadly…Merlin from the Sword in the Stone. Nothing EVER goes right for him–but it usually turns out funny for everyone who’s watching
Names of my fictitious children: first of all…they are fictitious because I don’t want children. Ever! Boy name-Asher Jacob. Girl name-Ava Jillian.
Celebrity I am compared to the most: the character Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Seriously–it’s an everyday occurrence.
Who would play me in a movie: Kate Hudson
Hair color: I have three. Alternating dark brown, platinum blonde, and Razorback red. Go hogs!
Person I would most like to meet: Manolo Blahnik or David Ortiz (Big Papi from the Red Sox)
Number one on my “wanna have sex with” list: Chipper Jones (3rd baseman for the Atlanta Braves)
Something I’m dying to get: Royal blue Manolo Blahnik heels or my pink gerbera daisy tattoo that I’m too scared to get
Favorite movie: You’ve Got Mail
Something I get teased about a lot: the fact that I’m clueless when it comes to daily news/headlines/current events–but I can quote stats from almost any sporting event in the last month. Many of my guy friends ask for my advice with their Fantasy Football teams.
Most embarrassing injury: too many to think of. Either the time when an econo-size bottle of dog shampoo fell from the top of my shower and broke my foot–or last year, when I tripped in a parking lot (over absolutely nothing) and did a pile drive on my elbow, thereby breaking it. But my PT was a total hottie so all was not lost
Ocean or lake: neither. I like to look at the ocean, but I don’t like the way the sand feels on my feet and I won’t swim in either because things have died in that water.
City or country: I’m a complete city-girl, even though I grew up in rural Arkansas. I never honestly fit in there though.
Number of shoes in my collection: 62 pairs…and growing
Item I can’t resist buying: strappy sandals with a heel
Favorite season: Fall–hello…football season!
Favorite holiday: Halloween
Something I’ve never done and won’t do: walked around with my bare feet
Something I’ve never done and want to do: sky dive
Time I laughed the hardest: When I came home last summer to discover that my obese chocolate lab named Molly was wedged in under the deck and couldn’t possibly get out. Even though it resulted in having to take my deck apart, board-by-board, it was still comical.
Things I collect: shoes (ha ha), Hallmark Christmas ornaments, holiday villages, Sports Illustrated magazines, office supplies. Okay, not really on that last one. But I have a very serious obsession with office supplies.
Things I like: shopping (especially for shoes), animals (mostly dogs), music, making Tiramisu (tastes so good it’ll make you wanna slap your momma), Chevy Trailblazers, the smell of a freshly cut lawn, spring, the sounds at a football game, the smell of grilling out, fried rice, the Razorbacks, the New Orleans Saints, dressing up, traveling, reading, sweet tea (God bless the south), the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox, fried green tomatoes, spinach, roller coasters, cleaning my house, being independent, Big Brother.
Things I dislike: Houston Nutt, LSU Tigers & their fans, Texas Longhorns & their fans, mini vans, golf, anything touching my feet other than shoes, socks, or bed sheets, the Dallas Cowboys, meat, the New York Yankees, the outdoors, being away from my family, drama, summer (especially in Arkansas), people who drive 50 mph on the interstate, American Idol, people who have a ga-zillion kids, getting my eyebrows plucked–but it has to be done.
That’s about all I can think of. If you need anymore randomness, just ask me.
