disclose 43 random THINGS about myself

I always read the fortune cookie fortune and don’t eat the cookie. Well, almost always. 90% of always.

I learned to clean my car windshields by watching the attendants clean my parent’s car windshields as a kid. My Dad used to always use full-service and I remember sitting in the passenger seat studying them as they cleaned the windshield in front of me. I figured they they did it the best way, since they did it over and over every day, and I remember studying their technique and being mesmerized by the quickness, efficiency, and instant satisfaction in the clean window. And now, I clean my window exactly how I watched those guys do it.

I can’t brush my teeth without walking around and doing something else at the same time, because I get bored just standing there. Like typing this.

I moved to Alabama and went to school there for my sixth grade school year.

I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 21. I had a phobia of driving… and imagined having a driver to drive me around everywhere. Once I made myself do it, the fear is completely gone and I don’t know how I ever lived without it.

It drives me nuts when people ball up straw wrappers after they have taken the straw out. Or twist them in their fingers. I find it disgusting and it reminds me of spit balls. This is not a good pet peeve to have, seeing as I work in a restaurant.

My hair is curly half the time, and straight half the time. It’s naturally in the middle and takes either mousse or blow drying to make it look decent either way.

My favorite authors are Anne Lamott and Bill Bryson.

My first job was making pizzas at a pizzeria. I can toss pizza dough. :)

I love tattoos. I have three of them. One is an arbitrary celtic symbol with simple black lines that criss cross up my spine from my very lower back three quarters of the way up. I had an ex that used to call it a double helix.
