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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So here goes…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I am a social drinker of coffee–I’d never make myself a cup, but will gladly take a cup when offered it.<\/li>\n
  2. I think my vanilla (homemade) is almost done–I let Grace use it the other night, at any rate.<\/li>\n
  3. Christian was a tired little boy at Life Group last night.<\/li>\n
  4. I’ve worn a baby.<\/li>\n
  5. I’m not sure I’m green enough–or bold enough–to give DivaCup<\/a> a try.<\/li>\n
  6. I *heart* homemade crab-applesauce<\/li>\n
  7. I’ve never met my next door neighbor.<\/li>\n
  8. I’m not sure what species of drug “hash” belongs to<\/li>\n
  9. So there was this guy I had a crush on in Jr. High… It was bad.<\/li>\n
  10. Once upon a time, I stole a construction cone.<\/li>\n
  11. There are additives in laundry detergent that make your whites glow under a black light (but not mine–I make my own laundry soap.)<\/li>\n
  12. I’m allergic to cats.<\/li>\n
  13. I used to play in a drainage ditch.<\/li>\n
  14. To me: Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup = Comfort Food<\/li>\n
  15. Lots of people think me and Anna look like twins–or else they think we don’t look anything alike.<\/li>\n
  16. I’ve never done a claymation–but I’ve heard it’s fun.<\/li>\n
  17. I think the beast in Beauty and the Beast<\/a> is totally hotter than the Prince<\/li>\n
  18. My first pet, a fish, was named “Apollo Erato”–after the muse of love songs or something like that.<\/li>\n
  19. I don’t possess a credit card.<\/li>\n
  20. 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.<\/li>\n
  21. I have a sibling who is employed at McDonalds (once more.)<\/li>\n
  22. I cringe every time someone finds my website via a Google search for fun essay topics<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  23. Clouds are pretty much amazing–they have so much personality.<\/li>\n
  24. I wouldn’t mind returning to Yellowstone.<\/li>\n
  25. Speaking of permafrost…The walk between my house and my parents’ has a permafrost-like character.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
