bekindtostrangersI've been meaning to this again for a long time. Hope you like it --
1. I was born 10 days early. My grandmother always called me her birthday present, since my birthday is 7 days (not really - LONG story) before hers.
2. My grandmother and I barely speak anymore.
3. I am very punctual. To a fault.
4. I get secretly angry at people who are blatantly non-punctual. This is my only passive-aggressive tendency.
5. I was supposed to be named Kelly Joanne.
6. When I popped out, my mom decided on Sarah.
7. I am a mutt.
8. My largest percentages of ethnicity are Polish, German, Belgian, Spanish, Japanese and Hawaiian. (Told you I'm a mutt.)
9. My last name means "Welsh" or "of Wales."
10. I am not Welsh.
11. I am an only child.
12. I am not spoiled rotten.
13. I tend to like only children the best, as I find they are the most well-adjusted.
14. That said, only one of my best friends is an only child.
15. One of the others is the oldest, the other is the youngest.
16. If I ever have children of my own, I hope they're all boys.
17. I couldn't handle raising a little girl. I know what I was like.
18. I'm a lot more athletic in my head than I actually am.
19. In fact, I'm a horrible klutz, although, I've gotten much better in recent years.
20. It's true, I really do judge you by your grammar. It amuses me.
21. I can read three paperbacks in a day, if I am so inclined.
22. I have a horrible memory, but only when I need to remember something.
23. I see life in screenplay format.
24. Writing is my first true love.
25. Someday I'll be paid to do it.
26. I think my name (all of it) is incredibly, stupifyingly boring.
27. I tend to be very pessimistic, but only when it comes to myself.
28. I figure, then, when I don't get fired, I can be pleasantly surprised.
29. So far, I've been pleasantly surprised everyday for nearly two years straight.
30. Again, on names. I used to hate my first name. Middle name, too. I am okay with them now.
31. I am slightly depressed that they're both religious/Christian names.
32. I'm apatheist.
33. This is even worse (more heathen-ish?) than atheism because it means I just don't give a shit.
34. I swear more than I should.
35. I'm trying to change this.
36. Sometimes when I talk, especially in a formal setting, I feel like I sound too pretentious.
37. I use big words without realizing it.
38. I say "acquiesce" and "ubiquitous" a lot.
39. I talk to my cats (and most animals) like they are people and can respond.
40. When they sneeze, I say "bless you." When they're in my way, I say "excuse me."
41. I'd call myself "quirky."
42. What you'd call me is probably far different.
43. I obsess over things (and boys!) very easily.
44. I've never had a relationship shorter than a year.
45. I miss my ex (not the one you're thinking of) very much.
46. I think the Doctor from Doctor Who exists.
47. Maybe he's made it to Earth, maybe not, but he's out there somewhere.
48. I wish I was Rose Tyler.
49. I wouldn't mind being trapped in another universe.
50. It'd be the best adventure of my life.
51. The music that's played when the bus is moved on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition makes me want to cry.
52. I think it's a cheesy show and doesn't promote a good message. But I still watch it.
53. I never used to watch TV, but now I'm obsessed.
54. I love my Tivo more than my best friend.
55. Don't tell my best friend.
56. I say the "L" in calm. Also in 'talk.' I'm told that's weird.
57. My accent doesn't fit in with where I live. This is curious, as I've lived in this area most of my life.
58. I tend to pick up accents rather quickly, so I try not to talk to heavily-accented people on the phone.
59. I have been to Vancouver, Canada.
60. They didn't seem very Canadian.
61. My friend I was with at the time called them "America Lite."
62. I didn't say anything because that's probably insulting toVancouverians. Vancouverites. Vancouvans. People from Vancouver.
63. I do think Canadians are like America's kind, intensely nice cousins.
64. I believe most Americans feel this way about Canadians.
65. I'm probably wrong.
66. Documentaries tickle me pink.
67. Yes, I actually say "tickle me pink."
68. I love tea and British tea culture.
69. I consider myself an aficionado.
70. I'm also the sort of person who says "aficionado."
71. I am severely lactose intolerant. Like, I could die.
72. This is a problem, as my favorite food is cheese.
73. I have prescribed medicine for it.
74. I usually forget to take it.
75. The pain is worth the cheese.
76. I want to be a better person.
77. I don't know how to start.
78. I'm agood excellent baker.
79. I call myself a bakestress.
80. If I could afford it, I would go to culinary school and become a pastry chef.
81. I like buying purses too much. Although, I've gotten better.
82. I used to be the same way with shoes, but I realized it was dumb because I generally wear the same two pairs of shoes year-round - and one of the pairs never leaves work. Or I wear flip flops.
83. I could probably drink a case of caffeine-free Diet Coke in a day if I let myself.
84. Come to think of it, that's probably why I load myself up on water.
85. I am ridiculously hydrated.
86. I would give up sleep to drink Starbucks soy, no whip, Peppermint Mocha lattes.
87. Sometimes I dream of moving to Hawaii.
88. If I won the lotto, I'd be in Hawaii before I called anyone to share the good news.
89. I despise winter with every fiber of my being.
90. I wish I could sleep more than I do.
91. I can't. I get it from my dad.
92. I wish I could study better.
93. I can't afford to fail again.
94. I'm finally taking steps to become more responsible with my spending habits.
95. For some reason, this makes me very giddy.
96. I failed my drivers' test twice before I finally passed. My first two instructors were heinous, snobby older women. My third was a man who'd graduated from my high school not long before me. I don't wonder why I passed (with only 3 docked points. EXPLAIN THAT.)
97. Every time I have to drive during a snowstorm, I swear (the entire way home) that I'm going to move to Hawaii.
98. I never do.
99. Someday, I might.
100. I'll probably do this meme again.

Date: 2009-01-20 02:02 am (UTC)I have never heard another person say "ubiquitous". Ever. Seriously.
54. I love my Tivo more than my best friend.
Maybe your best friend should keep your birthday gifts. I think she'd like them.
And of COURSE the Doctor exists. I fully believe this too, to the point where I walk around corners sometimes and fully expect the TARDIS to be parked there.
Hey, you never know.
