So I got tagged on Facebook and for posterity's sake, I thought I'd put my tags here for my friend (*cough*Amanda*cough*) who reads my blog and is not on Facebook. If anybody reads this and wants to be tagged, it's kind of amusing.

25 Random Things

1. I've been on Facebook for over a year and blogging for nearly a year and this is the first time I've been tagged and got tagged twice!


2. I love to sing, but only in the car by myself and yes, I do get weird looks.


3. I've been radioactive before, but I didn't glow. Sorry folks.


4. When logistic regression is mentioned, I know what people are talking about.


5. I kick butt at Dr. Mario.


6. Strawberry crepes make me happy.


7. My usual "random fact" is that I was born on my parents first anniversary. Yup. I'm pretty much the best present they ever came up with.


8. Going to Hawaii was my first time ever off the continental US.


9. I cannot stand seafood except clam chowder that my mom and grandma make and the occasional tuna fish sandwich/salad.


10. I can type obscenely fast. I mean obscene.


11. I like using big words. My latest favorite is "constitutional." I needed a break at work and told everybody I was taking a constitutional.


12. I still have the words to La Marseillaise (the French national anthem) memorized from 8th grade French.


13. At one point in life, I was a budding artist. A picture I drew in first grade went to state competition.

15. I have a stitch in my palm from carpal tunnel surgery that never came out.


16. I always have my toenails painted.


17. I'm not an animal person. At all.


18. I'm terrified of snakes.


19. My two favorite TV shows are Lost and 24. I can only watch 24 on DVD, though. I keep up with Lost on a weekly basis.


20. Tommy Boy is my feel-good movie. It always makes me laugh. Fat man in a little coat. Enough said.


21. When it was chocolate milk day in elementary school, I lied and told the cooks I was allergic to chocolate because I didn't like it. I like it now, though.


22. My car's name is Diva.


23. I accused my grandpa of being sexist when I was 8 years old because my boy cousins got pocket knives when starting Cub Scouts. He humored me and bought me one too, my own dainty little pocket knife.


24. I only had two wisdom teeth instead of all four.


25. I am a grammar/spelling snob.
