25 things you didn't know...

Nancy over at f8hasit tagged me in a 25 things you really never wanted to know about me-MeMe. I really admire Nancy, she is very smart and writes like I only aspire to on my best days. So I'd decided to give this me-me a shot.

I think you already know about my only having one pair of underwear and of the agony I go through when I have to put the SpongeBob SquarePants underwear (briefs) in the washer, so digging up 25 other things really made me have to think...

1. If you lined up all the men I admire alphabetically, Rodney Dangerfield would be right front of John Denver.
2. I once memorized the words to "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" at a recital just so I could blog about it.
3. I think spitting is grosser than discrete nose picking.
4. I learned the hard way why you don't wear size 32 man's underwear briefs when you have a size 36 waist.
5. Some days, I just want to look at a sexy woman for hours and hours and hours on end.
6. I think Oak trees over the age of 120 years old should be given the right to vote.
7. I used to dream of taking the perfect photograph of a wild squirrel. Thanks to modern medicine, I've been (mostly) cured of this.
8. I wished I had or knew an Aunt Rhody. And for more than ten minutes, even.
9. If I could teach the world to sing, it wouldn't be about Coca-cola.
10. I used to like Orange and Vanilla Creamsicles, but now I just see them as frozen Orange Coneheads.
11. I enjoy flying in little airplanes, and flying really low so I can see "what's down there", and really enjoy seaplane rides most of all.
12. I've visited over 3 dozen different denominations of Churches, to find the right one, and ended up just enjoying the stained glass windows.
13. I greatly covet a SLR digital camera with a real zoom lens, but don't think my photography hobby justifies the expense.
14. I think dogs are way cooler than cats, but I know some nifty cats too.
15. Every time I put fuel in my car I can hear my college roommate bemoaning that the two biggest wastes of time are pumping gas and going to the bathroom.
16. I will read virtually anything and read virtually anywhere.
17. I never own more than two pairs of shoes at any given time, but have worn out ten pairs in the past two years walking. I'm on a first-name basis with the cute shoe sales lady.
18. My dental hygienist is cute too. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon's appointments. I blame being overweight on her cuteness.
19. I've actually been thinking about getting a computer with Linux instead of Microsoft Windows on it for the first time in my life.
20. I continue to "train" for getting married. I find sleeping on the sofa is more restful than sleeping on a bed.
21. I will eat almost anything once. Dried octopus chips/crisps (they looked like potato chips) to mountain oysters, but I can't get past "eating bugs" like they did on Fear Factor. And oh yes indeedy, I still dislike Brussel Sprouts.
22. I like how young kids look after they have had a nice tall glass of any flavor of Kool Aid.


23. I secretly wish I was the M & M Yellow guy but I'm probably more like the red one.
24. My favorite soup is New England-style Clam Chowder.
25. Given the choice between riding a Camel and an Elephant, I go with Elephant everytime.

Now I must tag 10 people to beg, plead, and nag to do this!

These lucky people are:

1. My cute dental hygienist.
2. My cute shoe sales lady.
3. The cheery lady at the cash register at the 7-11 across the street.
4. ToriZ of Tori's World in hopes of finding out how she determines horse's sex.
5. Rita of SoulComfort but if Karma wants to stand in for her, that's okay!
6. JennyMac at Let's have a cocktail. I don't usually get intimidated but this woman is so well put together she leaves me tongue-tied and stammering.
7. Yankee Girl over at Adventures of a Yankee Girl because she's so cool I'm sure I'll learn something surprising.
8. You!
9. And You!
10. And You Too!
