25 random things

Since I’ve been tagged to do the 25 random things meme a couple times, figured I’d procrastinate from my taxes to do it. And figured that I’d make use of this blog instead of just putting it up on Facebook. In regards of tagging people to do it…if you are reading this, consider yourself tagged.

1. I try to consume the following every day: dark leafy greens, walnuts, green tea, blueberries and dates.

2. I have a huge fascination with and love of sea creatures (both known and those of the imagination) however I have huge fear of oceans or any form of dark, deep water.

3. I’ve never broken any bones. However when I was 3 I was thrown from a horse and it stepped on my back narrowly missing my spine.

4. I can say the alphabet backwards quicker than I can say it forward.

5. Today I talked to a good friend on the phone about a work (freelance) issue. We have been friends for years and it was the first time we’ve ever talked on the phone. I rarely talk on it…just to my parents. MSN has killed my ability and desire to communicate that way.

6. I don’t own a cellphone.

7. I’ve been vegan for 6 years (vegetarian a few years prior to that). I don’t miss meat or cheese or eggs. Though in my perfect fantasy world Dairy Queen serves vegan peanut buster parfaits.

8. I love all vegetables but I’m pretty picky when it comes to fruit.

9. One of my fave words is ‘whilst’. It makes my knees weak.

10. I would love to hang out at a pub with Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, and Elijah Wood as I think I’d spend the night peeing my pants laughing. Viggo could join us as well so I can stare at his pretty grin. And Dominic could bring Evangeline so I could follow her to the girl’s washroom and make out with her. And Evangeline could bring Matthew Fox so he would see that clearly him and I should be married. (Are Dominic and Evangeline even still together…I don’t stay on top of celeb gossip.)

11. I never take baths. I don’t enjoy them and find them incredibly boring.

12. People confide in me a lot. Even people I don’t know very well. I guess something about me makes them feel comfortable. I take this as a huge compliment. I also love it because it helps to feed my raging curiousity about others’ inner workings.

13. My fave forms of ‘junk food’ are plain, rippled chips, Green & Black’s dark chocolate bar with ginger, chocolate cake and of course, cupcakes.

14. I am currently planning Sick On Sin’s first ever official photo shoot done with a real photographer and super cute models. Crazy I’ve been doing the store over 3 years and never done one.

15. As much as I love doing SOS, not a day goes by that I don’t think about going back and getting my masters or phd and becoming a therapist.

16. I love giving advice and helping people with problems. However I suck at following my own advice.

17. I have enough pairs of underwear that I could go 2 months without having to do laundry.

18. I really wish I could draw.

19. Traits that make me adore a person include wit, humour, silliness, and compassion. Extra points if they are also super smart.

20. I often surf the mls site for our dream house in the country.

21. I would love sleeve tattoos but I can’t decide on what I want.

22. I find humour in poo and talk about it more than most people care to hear.

23. One of my bad habits is to leave dirty clothes in a pile beside the bed instead of putting them in the hamper. Michael refers to it as ‘clothes mountain’.

24. I don’t have cable and watch very little TV. The only shows I watch are Dexter, Battlestar Galactica, Gossip Girl, Californication and Lost.

25. I feel most at peace when surrounded by trees.
