112 Things

Inspired by a friend's blog post (which was, in turn, inspired by someone else's list), I thought I would give this a try. It is a list of 112 things that are on a need-to-know basis. You may know some of them, you may know most, but hopefully it will amuse you either way. :-)

The first installation:

1. I love the color purple.
2. Red is also a favorite color of mine.
3. I could eat dark chocolate almost any time of day.
4. Sour patch kids are a weakness. And a great cure for queasiness.
5. When I was little, I wanted to be an architect.
6. I still want to design my own house, but old houses are a big passion of mine.
7. I love my beauty marks/moles.
8. Maybe that’s why I think my boyfriend’s mole above his lip is so sexy.
9. I hate needles and blood, yet I do animal surgeries in my research.
10. I’m only claustrophobic in small, windowless elevators.
11. Heights always make my stomach churn and my hands get sweaty.
12. I participated in 4 children’s operas when I was in elementary school. I starred in the last one.
13. My favorite stroke is backstroke.
14. I could never get butterfly right. It always looked like I was drowning.
15. I blush really easily.
16. I was the first person in elementary school to get braces.
17. I speak German and French. I can sort of understand Spanish, and took almost 2 years’ worth of Biblical Hebrew. I want to learn Portugese and Tagalog.
18. I will readily admit that I am a snob in certain areas, especially food and wine.
19. I have a problem drinking wine from a plastic cup.
20. I owned 40+ colors of nail polish at one point.
21. Some of them were green, orange, and/or glittery.
22. I could read murder mysteries all day.
23. I write poetry (only under certain conditions).
24. I got my belly button pierced, but only for 3 days.
25. I never thought I would like running, but now I’m training for a half-marathon.
26. When I was young, someone told my parents I had great bone structure and I should be a model.
27. I could never be a model. I like to eat (and I’m only average height anyway).
28. Some days I see myself turning into my mother, and I’m okay with that. Other days I wish I weren’t.
29. I could see myself living in France again at some point.
