here is a fun, never before seen list of things that i'm sure VERY few people have ever known about me... well, until now!
1.) in high school track i trained for pole vaulting.
2.) i can make bubbles with my saliva and then blow them off my tongue and watch them float to the floor. i remember at one point having eight unpopped 'salvubbles' at once.
3.) joshua harris was once my lead pastor.
4.) i had the wrong two teeth pulled.
5.) i cut over ten tons of fresh fudge in two summers. (ate a lot of it, too!)
6.) i discovered some basic mathematical theories prior to learning them in grade school.
7.) during sunday school i discovered and perfected the art of pealing off the shiny inner layer of a werthers original wrapper to rub it onto the metal part of a folding table to create a backup mirror.
8.) i'm convinced that one of my eyes looks bigger than the other.
9.) i would like to see our written language officially changed to shorthand and all of our numerical systems changed to base eight.
10.) what do mints, chocolates, coffee, the sun, and dust all have in common? they each make me sneeze when i first encounter them (among a few other things that do the same!)
11.) once, to deter my friends from kicking my hacky sack into a nearby boardwalk garbage can filled with pizza sauce stained paper plates and unfinished dripping ice cream cones, i established the penalty that the guilty party must retrieve it with just their teeth and no hands, no matter how far it sunk down. Guess who was the next and only person to kick it in there... yup, yours truly.
12.) for my first job after college i commuted 90 miles each way, filling the gas tank every morning at 5:30am.
13.) i like to see how far i can run with my eyes closed. wildwood beach is an excellent place to do this.
14.) i really want to know what our current cultural etiquette is domestically for escalator use. is it considered rude to stand on the left so that others can't pass? is it considered rude to verbally express your desire to pass someone who is standing on the left?
15.) i draped a garden hose over the roof of our house to communicate with my sister in another room.
16.) i did a years worth of high school algebra homework on one piece of paper, written really really really small.
17.) in general, i prefer watching chick-flicks over action movies.
18.) i plan to celebrate my one-billionth second since birth, which will occur in about two years from now.
19.) Yjod od .u drvtry vpfr ;smhishr
Place your fingers one key to the left and type what's above as though your fingers were in the correct keyboard position... and then forget it forever!
20.) i learned only recently that most zippers are designed with a locking mechanism. oohhhhh!
