Five Random Facts About Yourself

Post a reply with five random facts about yourself. Nothing too personal, just the kind of thing that is too obscure to ever really come up in normal conversation. I'll start:
1. Every girl I've ever dated has had severe allergies to something so common it's unavoidable. I've become convinced that, due to this reason, if I ever do get married, it's going to be to a woman who has to live in a plastic bubble.
2. I like my shoe laces tied really really tight. Almost to the point of cutting off circulation but not quite.
3. When I was younger I had no tolerance whatsoever for spicy foods. Even a Slim Jim was a bit too much for me. But then sometime around 2005, practically overnight, I began developing a craving for spicy foods like buffalo chicken. I've been hooked ever since.
4. I never graduated high school, but in standardized tests I've taken, I score in the top 97 percentile.
5. My first car was a black 1986 Camaro Z28. I liked it so much that I ended up buying another one after that one was totalled when I let a friend take a spin in it once.

1) Never "officially" dated a girl. There were girls I talked to online that I really liked and they liked me but we never actually went out.
2) I am valedictorian of my class but I have absolutely no common sense, so in that respect I am pretty stupid lol.
3) When I was younger, I hated foods like sushi and strawberries but now I love them.
4) I was so scared of the dark when I was younger. Now I keep a light on just out of habit lol (I don't care if it is dark).
5) I grew up in a house full of women (my dad and uncle worked for most of the day so a lot of the time it was just me, my three girl cousins, my sister, and my grandma, and some days my mom and my aunt).0 -
1. I never graduated high school but somehow landed a job that pays pretty darn good.
2. When I was in high school one of the students had long bouncy hair and I wanted to beat her up and cut it off. (Sorry Nicole)
3. My children get on my nerve but I wouldn't change them for the world!
4. I hate listening to music when people are talking.
5. I am organized and efficient (obsessed) at work but home is a different story.0 -
1. I can't listen to two or more things... if I am playing music on my computer or watching a movie. I have to mute it if someone starts talking to me. When my dad or brother walk into the room, I just now mute my laptop.... drives my brother insane though...lol... oh and I hate yelling between rooms.
2. I had a low C average in high school. All the tests was A or B's, so I knew the material, but when it came to doing a report or homework on it... I just didn't care. Mostly because, I didn't care for it.... I didn't care about a lot of things back then. Also, getting ideas down on paper wasn't my strongest ability back then...still isn't. Now If I ace tomorrow's finals I will graduate with honors.
3. If it is someone else's, emotions, items, well being...... it will be placed on the mantle and treasured, mine... the floor to be stepped on. I take no pride in myself, or my things. I have certificates of perfect attendance, and where I made honors... the only reason I keep them... is because my mom always liked seeing them.
4. I hate tv.... and can't really get into playing video games. I prefer to play a board game, or cards or something that is more socal, than kill aliens who have invaded earth... or see the new season of shows. Sadly, I am the only one in my family that thinks that...
5. I tend to be the go to guy, everyone complains to about everyone else.... cause I don't normally show that I am bored out of my mind and don't really care. But I guess that is better than, the two butting heads... eh0 -
1. I have a phobia of touching raw wood. Things like coffee tables and such are alright, but any kind of skid at work, or just raw lumber gives me chills up my spine, and I can't touch it at all. Not only does this stop me from eating any kind of ice cream on a stick, but at my son's parents dinner at school last month, I had to get a napkin to stir my tea as the stir sticks were wooden.
2. I LOVE animals ALL ANIMALS, from lions to rats, and everything in between. And I have no fear at all losing my mind on someone I think is not being kind to an animal.
3. When I choose to watch a TV show, any TV show, I have to see every single episode. I will literally stop watching something if I miss an episode or will not watch something if I do not catch it right from the beginning, because I will always feel like I am missing something important. Same goes with movies, if I miss even the first two minutes, I won't watch it.
4. I am a bit of a hippy/naturalist. I do not cut my hair or shave anywhere on my body, I have no piercings, not even my ears, ever, and no tattoos or anything of the like, I do not wear make up, or dye my grays or anything like that at all.
5. I do not travel, I do not care to, and I hopefully never will HAVE to. I like to be at my own home by the end of each night, it is rare that I sleep out of my home more than once a year for a night or so. The furthest I went was about ten hour drive in 1996 to see my sister, and the whole time, all I could think was, this is nuts, why am I doing this, I am never doing this again, and I didn't. When I do have to spend a night away from home, I will make a list starting as soon as I know I am going, and add to it as I go along, I have a huge fear of being away from my home, and needing something that is here, and I do not have with me.0 -
1. Despite being a grammar and diction warrior, I fail to correct my own. I'm a bit hypocritical like that, but as I am aware of my need to correct others I am applying it to myself.

4. I'm following in the family "business" and becoming a teacher in 2014 after taking my PGCE.

3. When I walk up and down steps I count them in my head. I do this at home too (which actually has helped me in a power outage because then I know exactly how many steps it is to each landing). I've tried to NOT count steps but it's impossible.
4. I am fiercely loyal. I treasure the very few friends that I have and I'm always there for them. If any of them were to call me up any time day or night and need me I'd hop in my car and be there in a second. I'll defend them to the end. If you cross them you cross me.
5. I'm a grudge holder. Sad but true. I have a hard time letting go of some things in the past. I can but it will always be in the back of my mind.0 -
