I've finally gotten bored enough... 25 Randos

So, a while back there was a facebook note fad of writing 25 random things/facts about yourself and tagging your friends. I never did it until now, apparently I have time on my hands. A few of my friends who blog posted theirs on their blogs so here's my list...

1. My feet are always cold
2. "The Shack" is perhaps the only book to have an extreme impact on my life
3. I have an obsession with deodorant and have at least 4 sticks at any given time
4. I love all music and could never pick a favorite, except polka
5. It never ceases to surprise me when people will interrupt me mid-sentence to ask if they can see my tongue
6. I think sunsets are the greatest
7. When I get my own dog I want a big, fuzzy one and I've already planned to name him Berlioz and to do my best to keep him away from opium
8. One of my biggest fears is having my ribs touched
9. A way to irritate me really fast is to touch my ribs despite knowing number 8
10. I can't fall asleep until my toes are warm. Therefore, at night I can often be found standing in the bath running hot water over my toes.
11. I think there's nothing greater than uncontrollable laughter
12. Sometimes I get on kicks where I only want to listen to one song over and over. Songs I've done that with lately include Any Dream Will Do from Joseph, Oh My God by Jars of Clay, and Prokofiev's Classical Symphony
13. It doesn't hurt my feelings to be called weird or told I'm the thing that's not like the other ones. I embrace this.
14. I have a hard time understanding why people don't recycle more
15. I once had a wild, wild party, but then a woman turned to salt
16. Every once in a while I fear people will stop being my friend if they listen to my entire collection of music
17. I still sleep with a stuffed animal and baby blanket and nothing anybody says will ever make me feel ashamed of it
18. I love backpacks
19. In an interview in 2005 I named Sara Gerold as the one person I look up to most and that's still true
20. I think everyone's a little bit racist
21. My time in Spain/Europe has taught me to appreciate Capitalism
22. Despite number 1, I love being barefoot
23. If I want to, I can eat A LOT
24. There's nothing like a good book while being wrapped up in a blanket on the couch on a cold winter day with a mug of hot chocolate or a bowl of soup.

Quick note, I had a hard time thinking of 25 things about me so some are actually references to other things and I realize not all of you will get them. My apologies.
