Actually, quirkyknitgirl tagged me on this over a month ago. I usually don’t do memes but my blog’s been lean on content lately. So here are the requisite random and/or weird facts about myself:
1. I do not own any of the following:
Sneakers
Shorts
Sweatpants
Regular t-shirts
Baseball caps
Pajamas
2. In the past month I have spent more nights in a hotel room than I have in my own home, and I have spent more workdays on a ship than in an office.
3. I prefer riding in the backseat to riding shotgun.
4. When I lived alone, I didn’t have a TV or a microwave. The girl I was dating became frustrated that she couldn’t do “normal” things in my apartment, so she gave me a TV for my birthday and a microwave for Christmas. Both appliances sit in the basement unused today.
5. Given the choice between ice cream and tofu, I will invariably choose the tofu.
6. I hate when people ask me questions like, “What’s your favorite TV show/movie/music/food/etc?” I don’t watch enough TV to have a favorite show, I haven’t seen enough movies to have a favorite film, my music tastes are obscure and hard to place into a defined genre, and I like so many different foods that being asked to choose just one fills me with intense anxiety. One of these days I should develop a list of stock answers to these things so people don’t think I’m strange.
7. I won’t ask people what they do for a living. Since many people are unemployed, working illegally, or working at a job they don’t enjoy or are not particularly proud of, I think it’s impolite to inquire. Besides, there’s more to a person than their job, and those are the things I would usually rather hear about! I realize this makes me an anomaly in DC.
