5 things


1 random quote: "differentiating characteristics between llamas and alpacas are that llamas are larger and have more elongated heads." (wikipedia.com)

2 random pictures:
a lobster trap at sunset. no lobsters in it... i checked

2006 CUAPC Champion. yes, i'm immensely proud.

3 cd's on my ipod/in my car:
  • Apathetic EP, Relient K
  • The Everglow, Mae
  • Gimme Fiction, Spoon
4 things i would pay a hundred dollars for:
  • plane ticket to australia
  • a motorcycle
  • my own bookstore
  • an alpaca
5 weird quirks/facts about me:
  1. mannikins really creep me out. whenever i'm in a department store, i always feel jumpy because i never know when i'm going to find one staring at me. the ones without heads aren't too bad, but those creepy mannikin faces... ugh. i did recently find out, though, that a mannaquin is a female model, and a manakin is a male one. intriguing. and there's probably five different spellings, all perfectly acceptable variations. those are today's random manikin facts
  2. i count things. like stairs, letters, syllables, car headlights, all sorts of stuff. windows, light fixtures and ceiling tiles are prime candidates too. for some reason i always look for factors of four. it's weird and obsessive-compulsive, i know.
  3. i used to be allergic to dish soap. really. nobody believed me for a while, but it'd make me break out and itch like crazy whenever i did the dishes. so, for a while, i was on medical leave from dishwashing duties at the house. i seem to have grown out of that particular malady in recent years though, which i guess is a good thing
  4. i've watched muppets from space close to 20 times. and yes, that is sad.
  5. my second toe is longer than my big toe. i don't know whether this is some weird genetic defect or if it's fairly common... but nevertheless it's true

the end.

the toe thing? not too uncommon. The dish soap thing. My brother is too he actually had to bring a doctors not to his place of employment to get out of doing the dishs. As if looking at his rash covered hands wasn't enough.
