Randomness

Inspired by my pal over at The Cuteness of Curiosity...

Here are 13 interesting and not so interesting random things about me.

1. I can enjoy a good horror movie but only at home and watched in the daylight. 30 Days of Night is one of my faves. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389722/

2. If I were stranded on a desert island and could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be Nutty Bars… you know the peanut butter-chocolaty wafer things made by Little Debbie… I think they should be their own food group!

3. I had little to no interest in video games as a kid but in adulthood bought myself an original Nintendo … mostly so I can occasionally play Tetris, Donkey Kong Jr, and Super Mario Bros.

4. When I was 18 I worked briefly at one of those pyramid scheme places selling AT&T long distance. One day they had a “poetry contest” as a teambuilding thing. I insisted on going first reading a gut-wrenching poem I wrote at age 15 about struggling with my sexuality. After some awkward applause everyone else went and read their cheesy “I love my job” type poems. I guess I missed the point of the exercise. LOL. It was so embarrassing.

5. I have social anxiety disorder. Going to the mall by myself send me into a major panic attack.

6. I smoked heavily from age 17 – 25. I was up to a pack and a half / day when I quit. Now, at 32, I still occasionally crave a cigarette.

7. I am very allergic to bees, but have never had an epi-pen.

8. During the warm months, we go to the drive-in movies almost every week. We’ll see movies there that we normally wouldn’t be that into just because it’s at the drive-in. Check out www.delseadrive-in.com

9. I am a sucker for a liverwurst and ketchup sandwich. Yum!

10. My very first job was as a busboy at Richman’s Icecream Restaurant that used to be on Kings Highway in Cherry Hill. It was a crappy, gross job.

11. I love thrift shops. I’ve found all kinds of treasures there.

12. I am terrified of heights. Subsequently I do not fly and hate rollercoasters.

13. I won’t go on the beach during the day but I love it at night… especially on a starry night.
