So as I was catching up on the world news on CNN.com, I noticed their 'quick vote' survey on the side bar. It asked if you had written your 25 random things on facebook yet? It's getting out of control but I actually did it. I only got like 6 tags to do it, so I gave in. I figured I'd post them on my blog too, for your entertainment (or if you are really bored and have nothing better to read). Here's my facebook post...
I've been tagged a bunch for this so I'm giving in. I'm not really that interesting so this could take some time. Hmmm...
1. I lived in the Philippines for almost 5 years. We moved back to the States when I was almost 6.
2. I make my bed at night...right before I get into it. I think it's an OCD thing and Mark teases me mercilessly about it. But I can't get into it unless it's made. The blankets have to be even on both sides with the sheet and other blankets pulled all the way up without any bunching. OK, so I really do have OCD.
3. My dream car is a really big truck. If I had my choice (seeing as how this is my dream car) I'd probably just take my dad's truck. Chevy Silverado 3500HD, crew cab with an Allison transmission, Duramax turbo-diesel engine. Ahhh...
4. I want a big boat to tow behind this dream car of mine.
5. I blow my nose at least 5 times every day. Doesn't matter if I'm sick or not. I think I have an overactive something-or-other in my nose.
6. I love driving a manual car. I guess it goes back to learning how to drive my first car...a Chevy S10. That could explain my truck obsession.
7. I love to organize.
8. My house doesn't actually look like I love to organize.
9. I have lots and LOTS of gray hair. It's just that no one can see it. I will fight it until the very end! I might have to get a job just so I can afford to keep coloring it.
10. I hated being tall in High School. I love being tall now.
11. I still love to play soccer and there is nothing better than taking your aggression out on someone from the other team (especially when they are 19 and think they can beat me. Ha!). I can't wait until soccer season starts in 3 months.
12. My favorite pair of shoes...any kind of flip flop. Preferably Reef flip flops because of the whole bunion surgery issue. So comfy.
13. I have a jacket fetish. My rule of thumb...you can't have too many.
14. I hate nylons. Whoever invented them and said women look great in them should be shot. OK, so they are probably already dead but still.
15. Same thing should be said about the genius who said women's eyebrows should be plucked.
16. I am a Great Aunt. Yes I am a great Aunt, but I mean that I have a niece and a nephew with kids. That really makes me feel old.
17. The worst job I ever had was working for a company called Western Watts where I had to do surveys over the phone. For some reason I was one of the better employees and could get lots of surveys done, so for over a month I was put on Viagra surveys. Yup. I had to talk to women between the ages of 50-65 about their husbands and Viagra. It pretty much SUCKED. (my long-time friend Josh Brent worked there as well and would sit next to me and laugh through the entire survey. You can only say ED so many times and not laugh.)
18. The best job I ever had would be the summers when I was 17 and 18 years old. I worked in a Danish tourist town called Solvang and worked in a souvenir, joke t-shirt shop called "California Tease". After I was good enough to work on my own my boss would go surfing all day while I made him money. The greatest part was that his brother owned an ice cream store in the same courtyard and would give me free shakes.
19. I have a 4 year degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Marketing.
20. I'm horrible at making new friends.
21. I saw Bo Derek in a Mexican restaurant and she mistook my brother for a waiter. We were in Sunday dress.
22. When I was little I wanted to be a marine biologist.
23. My High School counselor called me "Marsha" almost the entire four years of High School. I finally had the heart to correct him a few weeks before I graduated so he wouldn't say "Marsha" when I crossed the stage on graduation day. In my defense I did correct him our first meeting as a freshman but apparently he never remembered. I will admit that I was kind of afraid of the man so that's why it took me almost 4 years to correct him.
24. My dad drives my High School graduation present. A 1975 Triumph Spitfire, convertible that we restored together. Someday I'll get it back. But probably not until he loses his license from old age.
25. This stinkin' thing took me an hour and a half to come up with. I tried to make it interesting so I hope you enjoyed it.

I had the worst job at Western Watts too! The only thing that made it bearable were great friends that I worked with!
Who needs new friends when you have great old ones, eh? As for then nose blowing...pretty sure it is more than five times a day. Liars go to Hell, Marsha.
It's pretty hard to keep a straight face when Josh is around, especially while talking about ED I can only imagine. LOL
I never knew you were such a truck gal, and as for making your bed before you get in it....weird, but apparently not that weird, I know someone else who does that too.
I was wondering what happened to the Spitfire! Now I'll have to start giving your dad crap about hogging your car.
