From something going around on facebook, here's 25 less known and trivial facts about me…
25. When I was about 10, I got a shoelace caught in an escalator at Macy's. As it started cinching up my shoe, I was convinced that it would drag me down and turn me into hamburger. Finally, the shoelace broke. I avoid escalators to this day, and will always take the stairs if that's an option.
24. When I was 12 I got stuck alone in the dark on in elevator for about an hour when the power went out. When the power finally came back on, the elevator kinda shifted, and I was convinced it was about to go crashing to the ground. Again, if there's an option, I'll take the stairs.
23. Which leads to: I have an absolutely crippling fear of heights. Even some stair cases can give me vertigo. Roller coasters are not an option. Ever.
22. There's not a single vegetable that I won't eat. Fruits on the other hand, not so much.
21. I have no sense of smell, but a pretty darned sensitive sense of taste.
20. I've never broken a bone.
19. I've never had a cavity.
18. I've never chewed gum, and won't eat candy. (peanut butter cups and flipz are exceptions)
17. I've had Bell's Palsy before, possibly as a result from a flying Three Musketeers mini.
16. I've had sideburns ever since 8th grade. The last time I accidentally shaved them I had a panic attack. They're like a security blanket, just made out of hair and attached to my face.
15. I detest romantic comedies—not for the romance, but for the poor attempt at comedy, and that they're so goddamned predictable. I'm not opposed to romantic dramas.
14. I'm a crier when it comes to movies. Last of the Mohicans? Like a freakin' faucet.
13. I cannot stay awake in musicals, no matter what.
12. I tend to laugh at the wrong times in movies.
11. I loathe talking on the telephone. I'm usually brief and rushing to get off. I assume this is a result of being a teenager that would spend hours and hours on the phone.
10. All things being available, I'd prefer champagne.
09. I do not have a passport, and have never left the country.
08. I've traveled all over the states though.
07. I'm a dismal speller, and live and die by the red squiggly line.
06. I'm a terrible flyer. Although I understand the physics principals behind jet engines, it still freaks my shit out that something so big, made out of metal, is that high off the ground.
05. I typically won't wait more than 10 minutes for a table. Most restaurant's food just isn't worth it.
04. I appear to have negative buoyancy, and can not swim. At camp as a kid, the swim instructors would just give up and tell me to stay out of the pool.
03. I was a boy scout, but I cannot tie knots to save my life.
02. I'm a complete geek about my music collection. 78GB or so of MP3s, all immaculately labeled, and tagged—complete with cover artwork.
01. Carpel Tunnel is the boogie man that keeps me awake at night. Nothing scares me more.
