This whole 25 Random Thing About Me quiz is sweeping through Facebook like a virus. After getting 15 tags I folded and came up with 25 random things … But after reading a few and writing my own I wonder how honest we are all being when writing this silly little thing?
I for one wasn’t totally balls-to-the-walls with mine. I mean my Facebook account has friends from high school that I haven’t seen in almost 20 years and coworker’s current and past who know a little about me, but not a lot of private stuff. I’m particularly honest with most people. I subscribe to the notion of “say what you mean and mean what you say,” but I have learned through the years that sometimes what you mean to say isn’t what you should say… Oh how I have learned that lesson the hard way – MANY, MANY TIMES.
What are some truths? What are some things, random as they are that I didn’t want Facebook people to know? Well if I didn’t want Facebook people to know I’m sure the hell not going to post them on my blog, now am I? So here’s the 25 Random Things for those of you who are not my FB friends… Can you pick out the “real” Christy in them? Only time and getting me drunk can tell.
1. I don’t like ice cream
2. I know that in a zombie apocalypse I’m the first one to go
3. I hate the word cripple to me it’s up there with the N-word on the list of words that people shouldn’t utter
4. My brother is the raddest person I know
5. I went to college to be a child psychologist and ended up with two writing degrees instead
6. I’m addicted to anything vampire – books, movies, swag… I blame the movie Lost Boys
7. Until I was 19 I honestly thought I’d marry Corey Haim when I grew up
8. I have terrible taste in men
9. I don’t regret not learning how to scuba dive in Cuba, although my mom seems to think I do
10. My favorite memory is crabbing with my grandpa under the Deception Pass Bridge

14. For 6 years I’ve had my tattoo picked out but I’m too much of a puss to get branded
15. In college I was in love with my married Irish poetry teacher. I think he’s the reason I became obsessed with everything Ireland. I also would have slept with him in a minute (married or not) so stupid in college.
16. I once broke up with a guy because he arranged his schedule around the TV show Barney.
17. I used to go clubbing on the Navy base in Whidbey Island, were my friends and I would underage drink and think we were cool. We were not.

19. I grew up overseas so a lot of 80’s pop culture references are lost on me
20. I still watch the Real World
21. I can still recite Puck’s last monologue from A Midnight Summers Dream that I learned in college
22. I have over a dozen published poetry pieces and I haven’t made a dime off of any of them
23. I have a low tolerance for stupid people
24. My emotions are always reflected on my face
25. I’m still pissed that my ex-boyfriend kept my cats, even six years later
