100 Facts in 100 Days: Facts 35-45, Unrelated List Edition
35. I love cheese. Cheddar, swiss, asiago, fontina, feta, parmesan, colby, goat, all of them - I love cheese.
36. I'm a bit of a neat freak - Pre-Kid I had a spotless house and car. Post-Kid it is a bit more difficult and I've adjusted (otherwise I'd be completely insane by now) but still I clean all the time.
37. I always sleep with covers. We don't have a/c upstairs and it was something like 155 degrees and 600% humidity last week but still I slept with a sheet.
38. I was the Campbell-soup-label-girl in elementary school. Remember you used to bring in soup labels and all the classes competed for who brought in the most? Or was it just us? Anyway, I cut away all the unnecessary parts of the label, put them in groups of 10(20? don't remember) and stapled each group. Fascinating, I know.
39. I have crazy hair. It is very thick and has tons of texture and body. This means my hair is always in some stage of curl. When I was younger I added product so it looked like I had a perm (I can still do it now but I hate that look) I've straightened my hair before - $75 and an hour or so later and you couldn't tell at all. The good thing is that I can get a $13 hair cut at Super Cuts (nothing super about it, I'd just like to point out) and it doesn't matter if the cut is lopsided or uneven because there is so much texture that no one could ever tell.
40. My absolute biggest pet peeve is when people eat loudly. My officemate is THE WORST. I often leave the room because he eats so unbearably loud. As The Husband once put it, "its as if he wants to hear the peach scream in terror"
41. Fall is my favorite season. I'd like to live where it is always fall. Cool mornings. Cool nights. The sound of crunching leaves under my feet. I love it. I never want to live where there is no fall. Of course, academia does not care about my weather demands and in a year from now I might have to do just that (boo hoo hoo).
42. I tend to exaggerate (oh, you already knew that - #37 gave it away)
43. I am short (5' 2") and The Kid is short (10% percentile)
44. I love coffee. I don't need it to wake up or get energized or anything. I just love the taste of it, especially really good coffee. I've turned into a bit of a coffee snob in the past few years - I'll still drink bad coffee if necessary (i.e., BestBreakfastPlace has the worst coffee. EVER. So I just add lots of cream and sugar.)
45. I hate watching movies more than once, maybe twice if there is a substantial lag between viewings but really that is enough. I already know what happens, what is the point of watching again? (Ditto for reading books.) The Husband is exactly the opposite. He'd watch the same exact movie every night for weeks at a time if I didn't freak out. I've probably seen What About Bob and City Slickers 2 25 times each thanks to The Husband.
Turns out 100 Facts is hard. Doesn't seem like much, right? But for some reason, I find it quite a struggle. My apologies if you think for example that #43 is not a worthy fact. I agree, luckily it is not called "100 Interesting Facts in 100 Days." The Husband says #19-20 is not a fact but a story. Well, the fact is that the story happened to me.
