This is for JLITH, who isn't on facebook ... yet. You are now expected to make your own list of of surprising things, and share it with me.
1. I love watching movies that make me weep.
2. My favorite piece of music ever composed is the orchestral theme song from “Love Story.”
3. I have a convenient way of forgetting embarrassing moments. I prefer not to be helped in this matter.
4. After working nights for seven years, I sometimes get the urge to stay up all night … and I do.
5. I don’t read or send texts, and I borderline hate talking on the phone for any length of time … unless I haven’t talked to you in three months; you live far, far, away; or you’re exceptionally entertaining. I also don't use apps ... so don't get offended if I don't join in the vampire games or send you a sparkly fairy. My one excuse is that my workplace has banned facebook from our computers.
6. I contribute to an LDS feminist blog with a host of other amazing women.
7. I adore dressing up in costume.
8. I like wearing flowers in my hair.
9. I despise mean, stingy and/or selfish people. Come to think of it, that's a lot of people. Hmmm ...
10. I travel out of the country at least once a year. When I get to Antarctica and Australia, that will make all seven continents.
11. I fight against my inherent laziness and surprising ability to be cruel.
12. Partner dancing fulfills so many of my needs … touch, connection, creativity, activity. Sending out love to Mark, Vince, Victor, Ned, Patrick, John, Lance, Ian, Lincoln, and that fabulous guy from NYC.
13. When I do charge at work, I’m obsessed with making the perfect assignment list for the next shift. I have this insane idea that if I make the assignments just so, I can stave off disaster.
14. I love the texture of really good milk chocolate as it melts in my mouth.
15. I harbor a soft spot for geeks.
16. I converse best when I’m seated … more comfortable, less distracted, more focused.
17. I’m enchanted by obscure, precise words.
18. I sing alto. Not well. But I always sounds better when I’m sitting next to Patti or Kathryn.
19. I played clarinet for one year in elementary school. Then I discovered lip gloss, and it was all over for the reed instruments.
20. I remember better when I’ve written something down, even if I lose the note.
21. I’m saving up to buy a camera like Annelise’s
22. I like feeling fabrics in cloth stores.
23. I’m an amateur polygot … or rather, a jill of several languages.
24. I overuse ellipses … because I love them.
25. Despite my outer cynicism, I really do believe that love conquers all.
