25 Random Things About Me
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I am 15 minutes late for everything. No, really, if you're smart, you tell me to be somewhere 1/2 hour before you really want me there.
2. I exclusively use Crayola crayons ... I know the names of all the colors and will refer to things in real life as "tickle-me-pink", "robin's egg blue", or "seafoam green". I'm also very protective of them, and have to buy a fresh box after they get worn down too much--I hate the sharpener.
3. Most of my best friends are guys. I tend to not get along with girls too well--I just don't have the tolerance for their back-stabbing, catty ways ... because I hate drama and confrontation and will do anything to avoid it.
4. When I was little, I thought that llamas came in two sub-species: one-headed or two-headed ... because of the movie Doctor Dolittle. I didn't understand that the two-headed llama was a fictional creature until I was about 8 or 9.
5. I have many OCD tendencies. To the point that if I'm leisurely eating Fruit Loops, I'll try to eat them by color. I save the purple for last. This is also true of M&M's.
6. I love beer. And by that, I mean I honestly just love the taste of beer. I can drink just one, just to enjoy it, with no intentions of getting drunk. Trying new kinds of beer is one of my favorite things!
7. My first word was "yellow". I don't know why. And yes, I'm aware that it's weird.
8. Last name is spelled H-A-Y-S. Don't put an "e" in it, it seriously drives me crazy.
9. My favorite thing in the entire world, by far, is meeting new people and making random friends. I've met some of my best friends in the most random ways: carolling in hotels, through the internet on a band's street team, standing in line, through MySpace ... and it's worked out pretty awesomely every time. Fate is good to me.
10. I had black hair when I was born. And I mean, black black hair. It then turned red for a while when I was around 2, and finally faded to the blonde it is now. My mother claims that if it had stayed red she would have given me up for adoption.
11. Ironically, I've always really really wanted to be a strawberry blonde. I think it stems from my childhood obsession with Nancy Drew.
12. I prefer to be cold over hot, any day. My theory: you can always put more clothes ON, but there comes a point where no more clothing can be removed. And I mean, I'm from the North ... Nashville cold is nothing to me. Plus I love to snuggle, so being cold is a good excuse. I love to sleep with my room freezing cold, curled up in a tiny ball under a huge bundle of nargers.
13. I call blankets nargers. Thanks to some of those random friends I was talking about.
14. Diet Coke is my favorite. And I actually really love diet soda ... I don't drink it because it has less calories, I just think it tastes better. Regular soda is way too sweet for me.
15. My semi-senile great-uncle referred to me as "Ashby" during an entire Thanksgiving dinner when I was 10 ... my whole family thought this was hilarious, and humored him all day by also calling me Ashby. The nickname has stuck, and I am known by nothing else at family gatherings to this day. And now you know where many of my screennames and email addresses come from.
16. When I get a new album, I listen to it in the proper track order 4 or 5 times. After I'm familiarized with it, I rarely ever listen without shuffle again. I'm not saying never, I'm just saying I really like shuffle.
17. I absolutely canNOT sleep if it is silent. I always have to have a fan running, or music playing softly, or some sort of movie/tv show as background noise, or it's a lost cause.
18. I find true joy in watching tacky, terrible horror movies. The cheesier the slasher flick, the more ridiculous the special effects, the happier I am, the more I laugh hysterically. Also, I can usually pick out the killer within five minutes, so it's really not fun to watch these movies with me. Sorry.
19. I honestly just can't understand people who say they don't like The Beatles. It's as if they're speaking a made-up language, or telling me they've never breathed and don't know how. It literally doesn't make any sense to me.
20. I've always been obsessed with Beverly Hills 90210. I understand that it is not good television, but I seriously love every second of both the original and the new incarnation. It is my biggest guilty pleasue.
21. My biggest fear is dying naked. I just think that finding someone's body is traumatizing enough, I don't want to add to it. Plus I want to go with a little bit of dignity.
22. I've been to Maine. And it was awesome. (directed at Sam and Roger) No, but, seriously, I've been to 37 states. I think I could finish by the time I'm 35. New goal set.
23. I really seriously dislike Nickelback.
24. My weaknesses in the opposite sex are curly hair, a good sense of humor, fashion sense, and musical talent. Not in that order.
25. I'm obsessed with and collect turtles. There is no rhyme or reason for this.
