20 Random Things About Myself:
1. I hate when my brothers squeeze the toothpaste tube right in the middle, and then NOT replace the cap.
2. We laugh at Kevin Bacon, his "Now what?" films and silly heartthrob roles, but I very secretly think he's HOT.
3. You know those ridiculous romantic scenes where lovers play around, usually with a hose, spraying water at each other or running along the beach in SLOW MOTION, with some old school funk / R&B or soul track playing in the background? I've always wished it would happen to me. ESPECIALLY the slow motion part.
4. Sometimes when my nails are long, the nail on my right index finger [which I use to write with] digs into my middle finger, so I wrap a tissue around my middle finger while I write to cushion it.
5. My favorite pair of shoes hurt like hell, but they look so fabulous that I wear them nonetheless.
6. I've memorized ALL the words to Air Supply's greatest hates BECAUSE I hate them.
7. I can't close my eyes when I'm singing a song because I always have to look at my fingers while I strum the guitar.
8. I list the books I've read, including the date I finished reading them, to get an average of how many books I read in a month. My average for the last three months is 3.
9. I buy cassette tapes [in Jeddah] at record stores because my CD player is not working [hasn't been for years now] and I've never gotten around to having it fixed. Tapes cost less, anyway, so it works for me.
10. I make most of my critical decisions in the shower.
11. I sneak out office supplies from my workplace: bond paper, board markers, glue sticks, paper clips, etc. The key word here is: UNCONSCIOUSLY. [sure]
12. I arrange the books on my bookshelves according to their publishing house[s], from Bantam to Random House.
13. My greatest fear in a Karaoke bar is that someone picks and sings the song that I've practiced singing for the longest time.
14. I am alternately embarrassed and insulted by bad films and bad actors. My favorite bad film is: Solaris, which starred George Clooney.
15. I have dreams of my best guy friend [nothing sexual, you pervert]. Sometimes I dream of him getting married [where I'm his best "man"], sometimes of him becoming a millionaire, sometimes of him getting shot.
16. I'm still very unsure of when and when not to use the word "whom".
17. My best guy friends think that my ultimate flirtation pick-up line is LAME. But it's worked for me EVERY SINGLE TIME.
"My one greatest dream is (to) ___________ [insert activity that guy-being-picked-up does best].
Worked once with a DJ at a club when I came up to him and said: "My one greates dream is to get inside a DJ's booth and get a panoramic view of the party below." That DJ has been a great family friend to this date, and we have been on guest lists at parties and getting free drinks ever since.
18. At "hard-core" Maranao parties, I can't think of anything to say beyond "How are you?" since everything you say to a Maranao can and will be used against you. Most of the time I just smile and pretend I don't speak Maranao.
19. I love MINT. Mint chocolates, mint on my tea, peppermint, mint lotion, mint shampoo, and mint green.
20. Sometimes I grin at myself in the bathroom mirror for about 5 minutes, then abruptly turn off the lights to freak myself out. I always expect someone standing behind me when I turn the lights back on.
Do you know a random thing about me that I don't? [Not you, Druggie, I know what you're going to say. Hahaha.]
