Usually when I get those forwarded emails from people I do a deep groan, a, “They got you, huh?”, and quickly delete them. But the other day I must have been having an off moment (the baby STILL isn’t sleeping, so, yeah, I have a lot of those) and actually clicked one open. It was ten random facts about your friends. I’m ashamed to admit it, but it was actually really entertaining. Not only were the random facts displayed about the person who’d forwarded the email to me, but also the person who sent it to her, and the one who sent it to him, and so on. I read the entire thing, and let me just say –people are really weird. So, I’m forwarding it (so to speak). Here are ten random facts about me:
1. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was twelve.
2. I have a black belt in tae kwon do.
3. I’m double jointed.
4. I hate artichokes.
5. I own at least ten black t-shirts.
6. I’ve never traveled outside the US… or even owned a passport.
7. I can’t type without looking at the keyboard. (I know, terrible for a writer, but I just do really, really fast hunt-and-peck.)
8. I must wear toenail polish on all ten toes at all times.
9. I think Hoops and Yoyo are the cutest things on the planet.
10. I would rather squint at my laptop screen and bump the fonts up to 200% than wear my computer glasses.
Okay, your turn. What are some random facts about you?
