Last week I was tagged by Celine to write 5 little known facts about myself and this week I was tagged by Heather to list 20 random things, so here it is combined. In no particulatr order:
1. I make lists literally every single day. You might say I'm ruled by lists.
2. I am afraid of the dark. I'm not kidding. At night I turn the lights off starting with the furthest from my bedroom and sort of run to the next light. By the time I've hit the bedroom light I'm mid-air hoping to land on my bed (stemming from the childhood belief that an aligator would get me if I hit the ground).
3. I've suffered from migraines since I was 8 years old. I didn't even realize that this wasn't normal and that some people go without so much as a headache until Alex told me a few years ago that he never got a headache until he was an adult.
4. I am ruled by cravings. You'd think I was pregnant 100% of my life, the way I follow up ice cream with green olives and vice versa.
5. Judging by what I'm drawn to most, my favorite color is aqua- but I've been saying it's purple for all of my life.
6. I've visited 5 countries and 17 states (that I recall).
7. When I was little (5 or 6) I wanted to be a ballerina, children's book author, and flight attendant [when I grew up]. All at the same time.
8. I've met most of my closest friends ever, on the internet. Including my husband. :)
9. I sometimes feel so small and claustrophobic in a room full of people (like IKEA on the weekend) that I start to panic and sometimes cry. (This has only actually happened once at IKEA.)
10. I speak really well in public but the entire time I feel sick, am red in the face, and near tears.
11. I've suffered from depression on and off for approximately 4 years but have yet to see a doctor about it.
12. I *love* to people watch. My sister and I used to do this for hours on end when visiting Disneyland.
13. I listen to talk radio.
14. My six saved FM stations play: Country, Pop, Christian, R&B + Hip Hop + Rap, Classical, and Rock. Talk about ecclectic.
15. I *love* winged things.
16. I've traded almost 500 ATC's and hope to trade at least that much more.
17. I sometimes get so overwhelmed by my overly commited self that I just pretend my projects aren't even there. It's gotten me in trouble a time or two.
18. I watch at least one episode of Law & Order everyday. I like SVU the best.
19. Alex wants me to put that I'm a Tetris Master. And, I am. ;)
20. OMG, It took me over an hour to think of these. Ha!

Dear Joleen, I had the same troubles with migraines ! Since I met my ostheopathician (I don't know the word in english !) My life has changed !!! Cheers !
wow...i know what you saying about
being claustrophobic and ikea.
i love ikea, and not to mention
to whole movement of the store
floor. have you ever felt that
while shopping?
Very interesting! It is peculiar to see how characteristics you thought could be only yours are shared by others.
We have a lot in common... The whole purple thing, Depression, I love SVU, Crowds sometimes I've hidden in the bathroom to escape. I like your list. Olives and icecream? I don't know about that one :)
Wow, great list of confessions and interesting facts - and beautiful pic! I think my list took at least one hour too, and I've written it twice!
i just happily stumbled upon your blog. i love your collages.... and tetris is the best! so is talk radio!
We have a lot in common! My husband would love it if I could miss an episode of Law & Order ... and SVU is my favorite. I've never done an ATC, but I'd be willing to try a trade with you just to see one of those beautiful cards up close!
