25 things.

1. Filing is my secret shame. I believe everything in the world has a home, and it's my responsibility to put it there.

2. I don't wash my hair very often.

3. I used to pretend I was drowning whenever my grandma took me swimming. I wanted to see if she was telling the truth when she said she couldn't swim. I never found out because she never jumped in to save me. Touche, grandma. Touche.

4. I am good at impersonating people; however, I never impersonate them on purpose--only by accident when telling a story about them.

5. I like telling stories.

6. I used to take ballet.

7. I'm really picky about my jeans. I usually buy them, return them a couple of times and ask for several opinions before keeping them.

8. I wanted to be a grandpa when I was younger. I think it was because my grandpa sometimes drove a blue moped.

9. I would drink heavy whipping cream if it was socially acceptable.

10. I don't like awkward silence. I usually just start talking.

11. I don't care about math or driving. Consequentially, I'm terrible at both.

12. I will order anything on a menu with avacado in it.

13. I can watch a movie once and quote half of the lines.

14. My 85 year old neighbor used to drive me around the block on the back of his golf cart when I was 5. One day he stopped being home. My parents finally told me five years later that he died.

15. I think brown is the prettiest color. Ever.

16. I can't sweat and I have really slow circulation.

17. I like to paint with water colors.

18. I am not very good at sleeping on my back, and I've had years of practice.

19. I would rather eat ice cream than anything else. Except avacados.

20. My mom, my sister and I were all both on the 6th day of the month.

21. I played with Trolls until I was in 5th grade.

22. I've been to a lot of really great shows. Bob Dylan is the only person left I really want to see play live.

23. I quit the Gift and Talented program at school when I was 14 because I didn't want anyone to know that I was smart. I rejoined again when I was 17 again....because I didn't want to have to sit in the hallway during our lunch hour.

24. When I was in second grade I made a Steggasaurus out of paper plates, puff balls, toothpicks and glue. I won a blue ribbon from my teacher.

25. I have really low expectations for everything. That's why I'm always so excited.

  2. 22. I would trade my Bob Dylan for your Ray LaMontagne in a heartbeat. But would you give me Ray for Bob?
