1. When I was in grade school, I told my mom I didn't like having my fingernails painted because it interfered with my ability to write. How brilliant I was as a child. I still like my nails sans color.

2. I'd rather read a book than watch TV, a movie or listen to music. What can I say? My imagination is much better than anyone else's. That's not to say I wouldn't sell my body on the street for good music. Because I totally would. But I wouldn't be a $20 music hooker... I'd be more like Heidi Fleiss. So. Let's just say, I could buy a lot more than good music! :o)

3. I really am easily amused. Anyone who has ever seen me get the giggles knows this. There is something to be said for finding the humor and silliness in life. If I totally fart while my chiropractor is adjusting me... How is THAT not funny?? A bit awkward for the doctor, but totally funny for me. (True story by the way)

4. I like to think I'm smooth. I like to think nothing gets me frazzled or embarrassed. But really. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. And I'm as awkward as they come. When hit on by people, my IQ drops 50 points and I say things like "What's your sign?", "Please don't follow me out to my car." or "*giggle* you have an accent." It really is amazing I'm not single.

5. I can become hyper-focused on things. Currently, I am obsessed with tortilla soup. If it is on the menu, I order it. In fact, I had it 3 times, from 3 different restaurants in the past 3 days. Now, you might be wondering a few things. Freaking Eh!? How many times did I go out to eat? Was it good all 3 times? Why fixate on tortilla soup? Answers: 3, no, and because I can.

6.I totally have A.D.D. Sometimes having conversations with me is like talking to a 3 year old. I am easily distracted by shiny objects and click through the channels on the TV like I'm flipping through a magazine. This contributes to my complete randomness when initiating new topics of conversation. I forget a lot of birthdays and can't remember what I wore yesterday, not to mention what the name of the person I met five minutes ago was.

7. Getting things in the mail is like Christmas to me. Think about it. The package/envelope has my name on it. I have no idea what is in it. For a brief moment before ripping it open, I am convinced it contains the one thing I really want. Now that "one thing" varies from moment to moment. Could be a new bike, a Mac Book Pro, a batch of Manda's grandmother's peanut brittle... OR it could be the cream that will finally get rid of that pesky rash.

8. I constantly joke about a non-existent rash. This never stops being funny. Sometimes I pretend other people have this rash. I do this by randomly asking them in front of other people "hey, i see you're itching your arm... rash still bothering you?" or "hey, thanks for letting me borrow your rash ointment. It's really helped with the burning and itching." Yes, I'm aware this is odd. But seriously, the look on people's faces is always funny.

9. I had 3 cavities the last time I went to the dentist. Amazing since it had been over 4 years since my last visit. What can I say? Dentists remind me of used car salesmen. Really. They tell you that you have 3 cavities and how do you know they're telling you the truth? Can you read x-rays? I can't. This last time I only knew they were being honest because the teeth they pointed out corresponded with the intense shooting pain I was experiencing. Funny how that works out.

10. I currently want to buy a Cadillac CTS. Not because they're nice cars. Not because I need one. Not even because my dad owns one and I love driving it. I only want one because that is what Kate Walsh was driving in the Cadillac commercial where she asked me if my car turned me on. No. My car does not turn me on. Wouldn't it be strange if it did? Long commutes would certainly be more interesting. And I'm pretty sure the accident rates would rise as well. "I'm sorry officer, I drive a stick shift and I was just trying grind it till if found the right gear..."

As I think of more things you wouldn't want to know about me, I'll pass them a long. (Lucky You!)

Peace out.
