Don’t blame me if you start yawning around #5 and drifting off to sleep by #12.
1. I’ve always wanted to be in a band despite the fact that I’m tone deaf.
2. I wanted to learn to play the drums in said band.
3. At the young age of 10, I wanted to join the school band and play the flute. My parents couldn’t afford the cost and I had no way of getting home from after school band practice which led to …
4. Piano lessons. Yep. I took them. I can pound out a mean Silent Night as long as the sheet music is in front of me.
5. I’ve always wanted to be able to draw. I suck at it.
6. I watched cartoons until well into my late 20s. I’d probably still watch them if I ever found the right TV station.
7. I was a Sailor Moon addict. Yes, I watched all the episodes. English subtitles. I used to stay up at night to watch the episodes.
8. I loved the Ronin Warriors cartoon. I had a huge crush on Rowen (my lovely blue beta fish is named after him.)
9. I’ve had a bunch of beta fish. The first four were Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewy. I swear Han ate Luke and Chewy. Next came Lina (red beta), Gourry (yellow beta), and Zelgadis (light blue beta). Anyone watching The Slayers anime will know how they got those names. Finally there was Rowen (dark blue beta) and Ryo (red beta). So yes, my betas were named after Star Wars, The Slayers, and the Ronin Warriors.
10. My favorite food is a rutabaga. A rutabaga is a vegetable that is a cross between a cabbage and a turnip.
11. My second favorite food is green bean casserole. I will fight you for it.
12. Neither of my favorite foods are in my favorite meal. My favorite meal is: barbecued chicken (on the grill!), mac & cheese, and green peas.
13. I’m superstitious. Think that goes fitting with #13, eh?
14. I’m scared to death of spiders.
15. I was born a blonde. My mother loves to remind me of that fact when I have my ‘blonde moments’, which lately are quite frequently.
16. I love fruitcake. And by fruitcake I mean the Icebox Fruitcake my mother makes that’s probably a family recipe that’s older than dirt.
17. I’ve had my own ‘fantasy world’ that I’ve created and lived in since I was 16. Usually the only way for me to sleep at night is to start drifting into that world. There are no fairies, werewolves, vampires, etc involved. But there are super heroes! 
18. I have 3 books going on inside my head. But when I go to write them down, my brain freezes up on me.
19. My favorite color is green, then orange, then purple, then blue.
20. I’ve always wanted to go visit Mardi Gras, Chicago, Illinois on St. Patrick’s Day, the Sydney Opera House, the sphinx of Egypt, Stonehenge, and anything in Ireland.
21. I want to travel to all 50 states at least once. Preferred method of travel is a motorhome, so I can have my dogs with me.
22. I want to see how the Amish live for at least a week.
23. I want to learn to ski. (Yes, that’s an accident waiting to happen.)
24. I know how to crochet using a loom. It’s actually very easy.
25. I want to visit The Louvre and The Van Gogh Museum.
26. I love tomatoes, but don’t ketchup.
27. I don’t like eggs, but love deviled eggs and egg salad.
28. I like watching NCIS, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and Good Eats.
29. My first dog was a cocker spaniel named Corky and my first cat was named Morris.
30. Most girls dream of marrying Prince Charming when they get older. I dreamed of marrying a rancher so I could spend my day around animals. (I was so random, even as a child. -.-)
31. The first few years of my life were actually spent on a farm. My grandfather had horses, pigs, chickens, goats, and fields full of corn, peas, etc.. Later on, I stayed with my grandmother who lived beside of my uncle. My uncle had horses and goats.
32. I like to try and grow different fruits and vegetables. A mid-summer hurricane flattened everything I tried this year.
33. I had 2 pet chickens as a teenager. They um… flew the coop and became chicken stew for my neighbor.
34. Now that I’m typing all this out, that whole thing about marrying a rancher and living on a farm sounds interesting again. (Yes, I know. Hard work, not fun, blah blah blah. Read #31 again… and 32… and 33.)
35. I can’t sew. I can’t even be let near a sewing machine. I can break the needle just by looking at it. (They banned me from the sewing class in high school.)
36. I don’t like asking for help because I don’t want to sound stupid or needy.
37. I have a horrible habit of listening to people long enough to get the gist of what they’re saying then completely tuning them out. It’s caused the end of one relationship, and I’m working on fixing it, but right now I’m blaming the whole customer service thing. Usually after the first couple of sentences, you can solve the problem, but people still continue to drone on… much like what I’m doing now.
38. Most days I feel like a robot. Same thing, over and over again. I tried to add a little variety by going against the norm. Unfortunately, going against the norm gets old and starts becoming the norm. I need to find new things to shock with.
39. I hate these type of lists because they make me feel like it’s constantly “I want, I want, I want, I want..”
40. I’ve finally reached the age (and thanks to the accident I had) that the word marriage and kids don’t sent me high-tailing it off fifty miles away. That doesn’t mean I’m going to marry the first guy I meet, but the thought no longer scares me.
