{March 9, 2008}   50 Things

50 things you might not know about me….

1.My name is Michelle

2. I have also answered to the names of: Shell, Shelly, Mick, Mish, Mishey, Melissa (ppl accidentally call me that sometimes), Babe (from my hubby), lil bit (from my grandpa), Fitz , Fitzy or Fitzer or my personal favorite, Robin (don’t know where that comes from…).

3. My middle name is Lynn. When I was about 6 or so years old I went around asking people to call me Lynn because I didn’t like the name Michelle anymore.

4. My birthday is March 4th 1982 (which makes me a Pisces.)

5. I really think that because I’m a Pisces I love the water.

6. I am a middle child

7. Because I’m a middle child and a Pisces: I am ambivalent and can never make up my mind, I go both ways on thoughts/ideas, I’m both a leader and a follower, a nurturer and need to be nurtured, etc.

8. I love ice cream, but I’m partially lactose intolerant. Guess it keeps me from having too much of a good thing.

9. Strawberries are my favorite fruit

10. I hate artificial banana flavoring.

11. Breads/Pastas/etc is my favorite food group

12. I’m right handed

13. I majored in English and minored in Art. I wouldn’t say that I’m not using my schooling/knowledge because it makes me who I am and helps me when I need it, but I’m just not using my degree to my advantage and that kills me.

14. I’m definitely an animal lover. My husband portrays it as so much so that I would save an animal over a human, for example, from a burning building… I don’t think that is true… animals are helpless and may need to be carried out but a human can get out on their own… LOL jk… I mean it could be true but if the person’s legs were broken or something I would def. help! Honest.

15. I have two pet rabbits. I have previously had 2 birds, lots of fish, a dog and a cat (not all at the same time).

16. My favorite peaceful alone-time activity is scrapbooking.

17. I love taking pictures.

18. I was on the tennis team in HS. but I quit half way through my senior year because I didn’t feel like trying to be good anymore. I give up too easily when it doesn’t come naturally.

19. I once beat my husband at pool (billiards).

20. I love playing darts in a bar. I can only win if we play high score.

21. I can hit a straight shot golfing, but I just can’t hit it very far.

22. I basically only like comedy TV shows. I like: Friends, Seinfeld, The Office, My Boys, Everybody Loves Raymond. One exception: Prison Break.

23. I used to LOVE Real World and Road Rules on MTV, but now I think “what was I thinking?”

24. I don’t discriminate on Movie genre’s except I don’t like scary movies. Even if it doesn’t look that great or doesn’t get a great review I want to watch it and feel better for having seen it whether I liked it or not.

25. I really want to count the number of movies I own but I don’t feel like taking the time, I have too many.

26. I love taking daytime naps.

27. I’ve moved every year for the past 8 years in a row. I’m now sick of the process and hoping we will stay just one more year in this apartment even though everything is telling me to get out while I can…

28. I can’t wait to own my own home.

29. I can’t wait to have a baby. Sometime when you want something too much it seems you just can’t have it…

30. I got married on a beach in January, during “the rainy season,” and it was beautiful, 80’s and didn’t rain a drop.

31. I broke out in hives on my wedding day. I also felt like I had an out of body experience during the beginning of the ceremony. Nothing seemed to go as planned. But it was still the best day of my life.

32. I feel like I’ve lived in Florida all my life even though it’s been less than a year. I think I’m meant to be here.

33. I am easily annoyed sometimes, but usually a patient person.

34. Little things amuse me.

35. I love coffee. I hated it until everyone at work would always go to Starbucks all the time. I started with their hot apple cider, moved to frappuccino (because it’s almost like a mix between milkshake and slurpee), then the holiday flavors came out so I got a cappuccino or latte, then moved to flavored coffee made at home, now I drink anything as long as it has both cream and sugar.

36. Music dictates my moods.

37. I love writing but get nervous people won’t like my ideas but think they’re dumb, or I’m dumb for thinking that way.

38. I love being creative but sometimes don’t think I’m any good at it.

39. I don’t have many friends but sometimes think it’s better that way. I’d rather have a couple good friends then a lot of only half decent ones. But sometimes I miss not having a bunch of people to call on or reach out to and get lonely, even if I’m not alone.

40. I’m a pack rat. I hate throwing anything out because “one day I might need it.”

41. I don’t like shoes. I’d walk around barefoot all the time if I could. I Never wear shoes inside my house, they come off as soon as I enter. I’m not comfortable walking around in shoes in other people’s houses either even if they do.

42. I’m a germ-a-phobic

43. I hate all bugs and spiders, they freak me out. But I have to be the one to kill them because if they get away I can’t stand knowing they are around but not knowing where.

44. I love the smell of campfire (or burning wood I suppose)

45. I like eating breakfast for dinner.

46. I’m not scared of heights but I’m afraid of falling.

47. My motto is like the boy scouts motto: be prepared for everything. I’d rather be safe then sorry.

48. I don’t cave under peer pressure. I’m so stubborn I usually do the opposite of what someone tries to get me to do even if I don’t want to do that either. Sometimes I can be too stubborn.

49. My favorite color changes daily (ok not seriously that often but it goes in spurts). But I can always default to the color blue; it is always appealing to me.

50. It took me a really long time to come up with this list. Sometimes I try to over think or over analyze myself. :)
