50 Things About Myself (continued)

Jump to Comments

Part II.

26. I would rather live in some shack of an apartment in a shady part of the city than where I live now, in the suburbs. I miss living in a real community.

27. I’ve never been to the zoo. And I have no plan on it, since that tiger in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago jumped over its fence and mauled three people. No thanks.

28. I could probably live off cereal if I had to.

29. I’m a member of Greenpeace.

30. I hate shopping. And yes, I’m female.

31. I’ve been face to face with a coyote while I was trying to take a shortcut through the forest. I don’t recommend doing that.

32. I love summer days when it’s hot and sticky outside.

33. I always think in the back of my head when I’m washing my face that just when the soap gets in my eyes, the killer is going to step out of the shower and get me.

34. I took French from junior kindergarten to grade 10, and I can barely hold a conversation. I think spending a week in small town Quebec would be more effective.

35. Working for Doctors without Borders has sort of been dream of mine. Only I suck at math, which rules out medicine permanently.

36. I wear socks to bed.

37. I draw Jehovah’s Witnesses like a magnet. I’m getting good at dodging them, too.

38. Apparently I also attract paper, because I seem to get a paper cut daily. Grrr.

39. There was a time I would listen to German metal exclusively. And always wear black. I’ve grown out of that, but I still wear a lot of black (although I’ve expanded my wardrobe to include shades of grey).

40. I want to take a year or two off and live in a flat in Damascus. Or Cairo.

41. I google myself sometimes. Not too long ago I found a poem I wrote back in elementary school, published. I have no idea who put that up.

42. I love anyone who makes me laugh.

43. Even though I’m not quite 5′6″, I usually feel like I’m towering over everyone.

44. For some reason, I only get teddy bears as birthday gifts from friends. I couldn’t tell you why. Do I give off a teddy bear vibe?

45. I can pick up and read other people’s emotions and pains as though they were mine. I suppose it’s a strength, but it can also be annoying.

46. I have an art piece of mine from the 7th grade framed in the TDSB headquarters. I’ve still never gone to see it, though I probably should, just to see if it’s still there.

47. I can play the saxophone. It’s been awhile though.

48. I saw the biggest roach I’ve ever seen in my life go into the Mr.Sub in Union Station. The best part was when I told the people behind the counter, the guy who was just about to order listened to everything I had to say carefully, AND STILL ORDERED!

49. I believe chocolate is the answer to everything. Including world peace.

50. I have skinny fingers. I’m told that I could play the hand that shoots out of a grave in horror movies. I would so do it.
