There’s this “random” meme going about Facebook, asking individual’s to list 25 “random” facts about themselves. But I don’t believe that the human brain is capable of true “randomness”–what passes as randomness is merely subconscious or uncommunicated connections.
So instead of giving the typical meme spiel in which I answer the questions and then tag others to answer them as well–I’m going to give you 25 non-random facts about myself that might seem random because I chose to skip a fact or two in the logical progression of my thoughts. Then, at the end, I want to invite you to join in by commenting–giving a fact about yourself that is related to the last fact (about someone else) but is a couple of generations removed.
So here goes…
- I am a social drinker of coffee–I’d never make myself a cup, but will gladly take a cup when offered it.
- I think my vanilla (homemade) is almost done–I let Grace use it the other night, at any rate.
- Christian was a tired little boy at Life Group last night.
- I’ve worn a baby.
- I’m not sure I’m green enough–or bold enough–to give DivaCup a try.
- I *heart* homemade crab-applesauce
- I’ve never met my next door neighbor.
- I’m not sure what species of drug “hash” belongs to
- So there was this guy I had a crush on in Jr. High… It was bad.
- Once upon a time, I stole a construction cone.
- There are additives in laundry detergent that make your whites glow under a black light (but not mine–I make my own laundry soap.)
- I’m allergic to cats.
- I used to play in a drainage ditch.
- To me: Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup = Comfort Food
- Lots of people think me and Anna look like twins–or else they think we don’t look anything alike.
- I’ve never done a claymation–but I’ve heard it’s fun.
- I think the beast in Beauty and the Beast is totally hotter than the Prince
- My first pet, a fish, was named “Apollo Erato”–after the muse of love songs or something like that.
- I don’t possess a credit card.
- I have a weakness for the $1 a yard table at Walmart–but they recently upped it to $1.50 a yard–and that doesn’t really appeal.
- I have a sibling who is employed at McDonalds (once more.)
- I cringe every time someone finds my website via a Google search for fun essay topics.
- Clouds are pretty much amazing–they have so much personality.
- I wouldn’t mind returning to Yellowstone.
- Speaking of permafrost…The walk between my house and my parents’ has a permafrost-like character.
Now it’s your turn. Take that last comment about me and follow the trail a couple steps down and write your own (apparently) random comment (about yourself) below.

Your on FB??? Find me via my gmail account! :-) I was actually thinking just the other day that I wanted to find out if you were on there. :-)
#4 – I’ve done that, too, but oddly enough didn’t like it. I never got the hang of it with any of my boys.
#5 – It’s not that bad… once you get past the learning curve.
#10 – ME TOO! :-)
#14 – yummmmm….. we should do lunch sometime. :-)
#19 – That’s awesome! We have no CC debt, but we do use them.
#24 – never been there… maybe I should go since it’s worth a return trip to you.
As for a few “random” bits about me…
I haven’t used a sewing machine since 7th grade in sewing class.
I still want to make homemade vanilla.
I don’t like the taste of wheat germ.
I can’t sing on key.
I hate HATE matching socks together.
I just picked boogers out of my kid’s nose… how’s that for random? :-)

#22 – then maybe you should remove your “essay topics” from your silliness link? You know.. the ones on bowel movements? Just a thought…
I don’t have anything random about me that you don’t already know. :-)
