Diez Cosas

So, lately I've been seeing the resurgence of the 25-things-about-yourself lists on Facebook. So, I'm going to do one too - with a twist. Here, for your reading pleasure, are 10 things about me that you could probably judge if you so chose. Why? Because I realized that one of the things I really liked about my "old" self - the person I was in high school - was that I often was the person other people were judging. I did what I did because it made me happy. Yeah, I may have been at Wal-Mart in my pajamas, and it might have made people feel better to make fun of me for it, but I'll let you in on a little secret - I usually didn't even notice it was happening. It ceased to be a blip on my radar screen. So, without further ado...

1) When I had them, I loved my camo pants. They ripped and I haven't been able to buy new ones yet, and it makes me sad.

2) I love the St. Louis Cardinals. And not in the oh-yay-go-team sort of way in which everyone loves the Cardinals. I mean, I can throw down player names and stats and standings. My grandpa and I used to watch the games together when I was in junior high and high school. It was part of how we bonded.

3) I play World of Warcraft, as well as Dungeons & Dragons. It's crazy fun.

4) I watch the Disney Channel shows. Some of them. I hate Phineas and Ferb. But Wizards of Waverly Place is cool, and the Zack and Cody shows, and the occasional Hannah Montana.

5) I can't seem to cry at appropriate times, but I'll bawl when it's not.

6) Addendum to that: I am incapable of crying at movies, but I'll bawl at a song if it applies to my situation. Lone Star's I'm Already There, Rascal Flatts' My Wish, and Drake's Find Your Love have all done it.

7) I always prefer to walk at the back of a group of people. Some would probably say that's a psychological wish to not be seen. Really, it's just because I'm always paranoid that someone's going to sneak up and yell, "Boo!"

8) I have kind of a Rain-Man thing with numbers. It's not a big secret, but I see numbers almost to the exclusion of objects(i.e. if I'm looking for your car, I won't remember that it's the one with the spoiler or the tinted windows or the smiley face on the antenna, but I will remember your license plate).

9) I can only eat one food at a time. I have to finish the corn before I start the mashed potatoes. Otherwise, the tastes will mix.

10) I wasn't romantically interested in anyone - ever - until about the age of sixteen. What that says about my emotional development, I don't know.

So...yeah. That's that. Love to you all.
