A lot of my friends are sending out a message with 25 random things about themselves. I have been compiling my list all week. Here's what I came up with:
1.) Due to watching so many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tv shows, I always wanted to explore the sewers. This desire actually didn't go away until college when I finally realized how gross that would be.
2.) I typically shave at night.
3.) I hate cucumbers more than any other food.
4.) My dream car is a 1952(or 1956) Ford Pickup(the only difference is the grill and the gas tank)
5.) The first mountain I climbed was Mt. Juneau and the whole way up I swore I'd never climb another mountain again. (I changed my mind once we reached the top).
6.) I have shared living quarters/sleeping quarters with 94 different people since I left my parents home for college. (Minimum 28 days each)....(aka I've had 94 roommates that I remember....it could be more)
7.) Growing up I never wanted to leave Puyallup. I turned down a number of opportunities to go on trips to cool places. I don't know why.
8.) I hate wearing dirty socks. Hate it.
9.) If I could live somewhere for a year it would most likely be New Zealand.
10.) I love climbing, but I'm afraid of heights.
11.) I can wiggle one ear at a time.
12.) The thing that makes me feel the most lonely is cooking a whole meal for one.
13.) I have been in an 8.0 earthquake
14.) I have driven I-5 from Skagway, AK to Tijuana, Mexico(2 separate round trips from Bellingham, WA).
15.) I've never seen the movie 'Titanic'.
16.) I think it's funny when people try to figure out my middle name.
17.) I misspell the words congratulations and guarantee almost every time. I tend not to use them in writing for this reason.
18.) I raised ostriches growing up. (Among other animals)
19.) I have an unusual fondness towards benches. I don't know why. I just like benches.
20.) I don't balance my checkbook. (I'm really good at keeping tabs in my head though).
21.) I really like it when people wave.
22.) I feel closest to God when I'm walking down the beach at night.
23.) Gelato Sorbet is my favorite desert.
24.) Every time there's an awkward silence I think about Abraham Lincoln. (Thanks Adam).
25.) I was on the chess team in Jr. High and our team won state.
So how well do you know me? Did anyone know more than 20/25?

I found #7 to be very funny, considering of all my friends you are probably the most adventurous.
I think I know the answer to #16, and isn't it pretty common? (I won't post it here in case you're trying to keep it secret...)
I didn't know 4 of them...
6. I knew it was a lot, but didn't know the exact #
16. I know your middle name, but didn't know you thought it was funny when people try to figure it out.
19. Never knew. Do you like sitting on them or looking at them?
21. Again, never knew you liked people waving. Any wave in particular? One handed? Two handed? Spazzy flapping or one swipe? So many unanswered questions.
#14 is not true...at least to skagway. I feel as the resident canadian to this blog, to inform you there are no "interSTATE" highways in canada...
i think i knew about 8 of those!
