Plus 9 makes 25 random things
Ok so the previous entry of 16 random things has quickly been superseded by 25 random things. Even if you come up with 45 more I'm stopping here. This exercise has been an interesting one. I was surprised at how much information people were willing to share. In that spirit, here are 9 more things you can add to my post.
1) One of the best things I ever did was take off the time to go learn Chinese in Taiwan, but I'm finding it hard to get a job now that I'm back. I hadn't realized how much of my sense of self is tied up in working. Maybe next adventure just a leave of absence!
2) I love my friends and family but seldom let those important people know it. I believe in created family and maintaining connections with people.
3) My Plan is to retire to Vancouver/Hong Kong/San Francisco depending on what my finances are like by then.
4) I love singing, but I wrestle with remembering lyrics and can only sing one or two words per line. I find karaoke tremendously fun even tho you'd prolly pay me to stop.
5) I hate that I'm extremely competitive and argumentative. It comes from having a brain that collects useless bits of trivia and a willingness to bet tacos against your factoids. I struggle with not having to be right, but am slowly learning that it's all relative anyway. Plus no one likes a "know-it -all" and I'd rather you were my friend.
6) I search for things to challenge myself and try not to let my fear hold me back from living life. What's wrong with me right now?
7) I have 11 categories for sorting laundry. When I go to laundromats the attendants always feel compelled to praise my technique. Apparently I'm one of the few who knows how to do laundry the "right way".
8) My twin sister is my best friend. But I consider other friends "best" as well. Is there a limit on how many best friends you can have? I don't think so.
9) I'm a dog person and I'm contemplating another dog. It has to be a rescued dog, 10-20 lbs, all black, no beard/shedding and very friendly. Maybe a Portuguese water dog or poodle/spaniel mix of some kind. I figure the more specific I am, the less likely I am to actually get the dog.
