25 Things About Me:
Because Everyone else seems to be doing it...
1. I grew up in a family of happy fat people; thus, I have no problem being naked and have no qualms about my beefy body.
2. I played football in high school on a dare, even though my mother offered me $500 to go out for girl's volleyball (we didn't have a boys team).
3. Losing my dad 2 weeks before September 11th, 2001 completely changed my outlook on the rest of my life. I am a better person and far more relaxed because of it.
4. Since I moved to Chicago in December of 2005, I have lost close to 50lbs.
5. I was born 5 weeks early and came out just under 5lbs. They had to put me in doll clothes because preemie sizes didn't exist.
6. I am the fifth generation on my dad's side of the family with my middle name (Bennett).
7. I hated writing my full name when I was a kid, it's too long (25 letters).
8. Rugby is a sport I picked up 2 years ago, and something I plan on playing a long time.
9. I am the middle child, but as my ex Bill put it, "you're more like an only child." (Not sure how to take that...)
10. Flickr is a new phenomenon for me, and am greatly enjoying exploring my artistic side again.
11. I'm curious by nature, and thus, science/R&D is the perfect field for me.
12. I overcompensated in my youth and was a player/womanizer.
13. I started balding at 16; my mother thinks of it as karma because I teased my dad so much about his balding.
14. I talk to my mom almost everyday.
15. I have 3 tattoos and have the rest of a sleeve planned for after Memorial Day.
16. My favorite place to relax is Hawaii.
17. I love sleeping in a cold room, prefer it actually.
18. I gave up beef, sweets and alcohol for lent this year.
19. I am an acquaintance to many, but have very few close friends.
20. I didn't find the conversation out of the ordinary when my mom, lil sister and me talked about masturbation and whether or not I was a top or bottom.
21. I miss living near mountains because I cannot hike or snowboard regularly.
22. I check weather.com at least 3 times a day.
23. I love walking around late at night after a heavy snowfall. The deafening of sounds and the beauty of it is breathtaking.
24. I am freckled over a very large portion of my body, but have little pigmentation in fingers.
25. I read cnn, drudgereport, huffingtonpost, politico, msnbc, NYT, andrew sullivan, pageoneq and bilerico more often than I should, while at work.
