25 random things

Sorry, I got tagged by my sister



1. I usually eat 5 times every day.

2. My favourite things to play with when I was a child was a collection of plastic animal figurines. I still have some of them.

3. I started drawing bees because I believed I could get past my apiphobia if I thought of them as friendly little things. It didn't work.

4. I like English so much that sometimes instead of reading a book and enjoy it, I analize the syntax.

5. Given "4", I have 6 links to online dictionaries in my bookmarks bar.

6. I remember all the bedtime stories my dad made up.

7. When I was 7 I lost my balance and fell down a slope covered in blackberry bushes, but that was nothing compared to the time I fell from a cherry tree when I was 8.

8. When I was little, we didn't have a bathtub at home (only a shower), so sometimes mum sent my sister and I to my grandparents' house to use theirs. My grandma was scared to leave us alone in the bathroom because she feared we would drown, so she wanted us to sing the entire time. That way she was sure our heads were still above the water.

9. I skinny-dipped in the sea.

10. I like all winter sports but skiing. I don't see the point in going up and down the side of a mountain again and again.

11. I am so accident prone that my dad once confessed me that he didn't think I would have made it past the age of 6.

12. I'm very protective of my little sister, so much so that I punched an older boy for making fun of her in elementary school.

13. I stole a road sign.

14. I used to whistle a lot when I was little, but then one day my great-aunt scolded me because "only foolish people do it" and she scared me so much that I've been unable to whistle ever since.

15. Being able to move from a place to another when the mood strikes is my greatest wish.

16. My cell phone is switched off more often than not. I constantly forget to charge it and sometimes I forget to bring it with me when I go out. I think part of the problem is that my visual arts professor in high school told me that a cell phone is like a GPS tuned on yourself, so the only way to make yourself untraceable is to not have one. I like the freedom of nobody knowing where I am.

17. I can quote Disney movies like a pro.

18. I took guitar lessons for a month before the teacher told me that my hands were way to small to fit around the fretboard. I've been wanting to start taking lessons again, tho.

19. My 4 pet turtles were named after the Mutant Ninja Turtles.

20. Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev is my favourite symphony ever.

21. I can remember things from when I was younger that 3 years old, like how was the daycare center and what we did there. In particular, I remember that one day the nun who took care of us made us go outside in the garden and that a kid broke the stem of an iris while running around and that I tried to make it stand straight again with no success.

22. I gave up fizzy drinks and alcohol for a year when I was 18.

23. I played soccer for 4 years and never got mocked by the boys I played it with.

24. The three movies that have always been included in my Top 5 are "Darby O'gill and the Little People", "The Fighting Prince of Donegal" and "Disney's Peter Pan". I lost the tape of the second one and am still looking around for a replacement.

25. My CDs are organized from the one I like the most to the one I like the least. The first is Bob Dylan's "Pat Garret & Billy the Kid".

I don't know... He never won! Anf he had to obey a brain without a body. I mean, even Wile E. Coyote managed to catch Road Runner once! Not that I wanted him to defeat the Turtles, I just felt sorry for him.
