25 Things You May Not Know About Me (Taken from my Facebook Profile)

1. I've been meaning to do this for about a week now, but I'm not sure if I can think of 25 things.

2. People that drive below the speed limit when conditions are good are a major pet pet peeve of mine.

3. The mayo in my fridge is only good until Feb 7/09. I noticed that last night when I was making lunches.

4. When I was 4 years old, my house was destroyed in Black Friday (A tornado in Edmonton, AB). I guess it was actually my parents house, haha. My sister was a week old and we hid in the basement under the stairs until it was over. After that we had to go down the street to a neighbour who was taking all the people in that had lost their homes.

5. While our house was being rebuilt we moved to townhouses and I would always visit this lady who had beaded curtains in her hallway and would give me cookies.

6. I am the oldest sibling. I have one full sister and two half sisters.

7. The first letter of our names are one of L,M,N, or O and since all of our last names are Parker, we each represent L,M,N,O,P.

8. I killed the grass in my back yard last summer from hoola hooping too much.

9. I'm like a tree, I die a bit in winter but in spring and summer I blossom and am full of life.

10. I leave the house each morning for work by 7:10 am.

11. The grossest feeling would be to touch a newspaper with prune fingers after swimming or having a long shower. Ewwwww!

12. I like indoor soccer better than outdoor. I play defense.

13. I love to dance.

14. I'm really organized and I hate when my cupboards and closets get messed up.

15. Scott (my fiancee) does most of the cooking, not me.

16. I can't watch commercials without analyzing them most of the time. I think it's my marketing background.

17. I thought that we were human beans up until grade three when my teacher was reading the BFG and giant also thought that we were beans until someone laughed at him for thinking that. I wonder how long it would have taken me to figure it out if I didn't read that book!

18. When I was a teenager I wanted to marry Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins. Before that it was Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day.

19. My existence is at peace when I'm laying in my hammock or floating on a river/lake.

20. If I didn't have to worry about money I'd like to be a yoga teacher. I know you can make a decent living from doing that, but I think it would be less comfortable than where I am right now.

21. People at work seem to like to give me fish, alive or stuffed. That's how we got Thriller, and the Perch that I keep in my office.

22. I love going for walks in the city to places where you feel like you're not in the city.

23. I love going out to eat. I think Ernest's at NAIT is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at.

24. Halloween is my favourite holiday. I think it should be a holiday anyways! I love dressing up.

25. I miss having a shower with a window in it. It was awesome in the winter to open up the window and have the cold air hit my face.
