25 to Life
So, yeah...
The Halls here at Rennratt went dark for longer than I anticipated. I meant to take a day or three off, and BOOM! Something like six weeks passed. No worries, though. We're all fine. Pretty much, anyway.
I have been wracking my brain for ideas to jump-start creativity, and nothing has really inspired me. Until now, anyway. Thanks to Tiff, my dear gal pal over at NAY, you will now learn an additional twenty five things about yours truly. So buckle up, people. It's sure to be...something.
1. I like peppered mayonnaise on my french fries...and jelly on my eggs.
2. Facebook thinks I'm a lesbian, and that I want to date 20 year old girls. [ What's the lesbian equivalent to a cougar?]
3. I call pretty much everyone "Dude" instead of their name. And, yes. This includes my husband, my boss and my gynecologist. [It's not meant as disrespect; I have a terrible memory.]
4. I am stunned, on a daily basis, that I managed to get married.
5. Until about 4 years ago, my male friends outnumbered my female friends.
6. I lived in a men's dormitory for a while in college. [Until my psycho roommate dropped out.] I was given my own room by the RD, and the boys on the hall blocked off time for me to shower. They even stood a guard at the door "just in case".
7. Eating steak makes me drunk. I don't know why.
8. My purse was custom made by The Swedish Stitcher. I am not usually Purse People, but I carry this EVERYWHERE. It is covered in what I call "A Vortex of Skulls", and the inside is covered in blue flames. I seriously LOVE this purse.
9. I love men with meaty heads. Alec Baldwin and Bruce Campbell top the list.
10. Blair Underwood was my first interracial crush. That crush is still going strong, some twenty odd years later.
11. I own no dresses or skirts, and have less than 7 pair of pants. This includes work clothes, jeans and sweats. I hate shopping, and wear clothes until they are worn out or fall apart. This horrified pretty much every one of my friends/family members.
12. I have always been more of a "boxer shorts and beer" kind of girl. These days, however, 'beer' has been replaced with 'coffee'.
13. Most days, I would rather read than talk.
14. I wear almost no jewelry, thanks to a combination of allergies and arthritis.
15. My favorite color is green.
16. I refuse to own/wear any clothing that requires me to iron. I don't even think I OWN an iron.
17. My sister is one of the funniest people I know, and is second only to my husband.
18. Nothing quite matches the horrified realization that the shorts grabbed in the dark are, in fact Booty Shorts...until you run into your pastor at the gym. At 5 am. Seriously. I thought I would die.
19. I am tentatively planning on doing a triathlon next summer. It is going to be my birthday present to myself. Training has started at a very basic level.
20. If I ever join the Roller Derby, I want my name to be General Contempt. If not, I want it to at least be my next Halloween costume.
21. I could watch a handful of movies over and over again. The list includes "The Addams Family", "The Expendables", "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle", "Dude, Where's my Car?", "Rocky Balboa", "The Nightmare Before Christmas"...and all of the "Transporter" movies. This list expands and contracts from time to time, but these remain my base group.
22. I don't like lobster, but LOVE scallops.
23. I don't feel that I need to agree with your choices to love you. I may tell you how I feel, but I won't sit in judgment over you. I expect the same courtesy in return.
24. Most news show "talking heads" make me want to throw things. I am likely one of the few people left that prefers to read the news over hearing it on the radio or television.
25. ...
I think that's enough for now. I'm in the middle of an NCIS marathon, and Gibbs just smiled. Consider my previous train of thought derailed.

Green is my favorite too. But peppered mayo on fries? That's sick; sick I tell you!
I agree about Blair. He's gorgeous.
I've never even tasted lobster. Too "buggy" looking, IMO.
I love these kinds of posts for all the things you learn about a person. I knew about your appreciation for men with meaty heads, but I learned way more about you.
I won't judge you about the pants. I have about the same number of pairs, abhor shopping and wear clothes until they fall apart, too.
It's not easy being green...
Sorry it took me awhile to recover from the term "Booty Shorts" and the need to research pictures on the internet......
welcome back. I couldn't get past the peppered mayo...eeewwww...but seriously, welcome back....
If you are referring to cracked black pepper in the mayo I''m totally with you.
Poor memory is no excuse for calling your husband "dude". You've known him how long?
Booty shorts - must research. But pastor + workout clothes + 5am is bad enough.
I am not even going to touch that line about meaty heads.
I'm with you on #3 and #11. Sweety doesn't like that I call him "dude" and likes it even less that they boys have started doing it. And I wear clothes until they literally fall apart at the seams.
Me and shopping are like you and shopping. I will ear pants with holes in them to WORK. Shameful...
Great list!
(my skull purse says hi to your skull purse)
Wow. Based on about half of these, you and my gf could have been separated at birth. And I dig these things about her, so by the transitive property of digg-ality, I must dig them about you too. (Read: I am not horrified by your aversion to shopping or your skimpy wardrobe. I find it endearing, rather.)
As for the "Dude" things, I thought The Big Lebowski was the funniest damn thing I'd seen in ages. Not as funny as Bad Santa, but pretty FN hysterical. So I'm totally down with "Dude".
I am you!
...no wait, um, I am Christine O'Donnell!
I mean, You are... or maybe Christine is...
I'M SO CONFUSED!
