Post a random fact about yourself...

^ Nor have I. I just don't understand those types of shows or why they even exist.

At the moment I am procrastinating.
I can't procrastinate for long though. I have a quiz online to take by 4pm today.

^ Thanks! Sounds like you're doing pretty well so far. I took my quiz and didn't do so well. I'm trying not to kick myself for it though. It's one of my first upper-level courses, it's a new teacher so I have no idea what her teaching and quizzing styles are like yet (and it's even harder to tell since it's all online), and it was my first quiz. I have all semester to make up for it though, plus I got myself a tutor for this course the other day because I know I'm going to need it.

I like to wear tennis shoes or sneakers most often because I have this paranoid thought in my head that, if I go somewhere and something bad happens, I can't run very well in flip flops or fancy shoes.

Yet another obvious fact that I hadn't realised or unearthed yet, been struggling with, for more than a decade.

I'm attractive to everyone. I make people laugh and smile.

I'm bound to a world which restricts my talent & ability, with no chance to meet an employer who pays minions to find 'me' for them, having to decide if I'm worthy. The only method is to pick up the telly fone and poke me with it, reading out some spiel from someone who wrote it for them, asking me meandering questions with no meaning...

Hiding behind a magical disguise of a piece of plastic held against the ear. Even if both people are completely blind and deaf, a real handshake is proper communication, and a way to make an impression.

Even the next step of interview with the real employer, on a conference call with others, including the agency, it's a joke. A way to 'filter out' any of millions of applicants who sound imperfect.

I want to be right in front of people. Agencies don't allow it. It's always 99.9999999% sorry you have unfortunately been unsuccessful. We found someone better.

A real interview at the top of a Canary Wharf tower feels so special. Even if my tailored suit, bought in Patong Beach STARtailors in Thailand, cufflinks, shirt 'n' ties, glam shoes, realistic, bold manner is not enough for someone, at least I get to have a final handshake, at a dismal point of rejection, which I'm used to, careful not to exhibit the deep rage & fury, such as a chair going through a window, I keep it bottled up until I'm ushered out, but I can crush & crack the bones in their hand, with a pleasing grimace and squeal.

If you like Michael Vick, I will judge you. I have a cousin who is a huge eagles fan and pro vick, I don't even like being around her. I really hope the Eagles have a terrible season.

also, I am a sapiosexual.

When I was younger, I sliced half of my pinky toe off doing a high kick, it got caught coming back down. I can't let the nail grow, because it puts me in sever pain. I guess that's a disturbing fact.

in my hometown i will be remembered as the "boy with the ball". they called me like this, even the old. i took my football to the supermarket, to the hairdresser, everywhere. that was enough for me, that feeling to touch the ball softly and running thru the streets.

Hehe,I do that except its just mainly around the house. Anywhere I go in the house im dribbling a football,I even juggle it when im going up and down the stairs::

I giggle insanely (To the point of making myself feel sick) when I pull my husband's ear lobe twice and say "Ding ding" in time with it... No I don't know why I find it so funny... I was just in a weird, hyper, 'everything is funny' mood when it began and it stuck... I only have to think about doing it and I start to laugh...

... *Pulls husband's ear lobe* "Ding, ding!" Bwahhahahahahahahahaaaaa *Falls over laughing hysterically*

Whatever floats your boat. ::

I am a rebel. I put Q-tips in my ears. I've actually become a little addicted to it. I don't like the feeling of... I don't even know how to describe it. I just clean my ear canals out a lot.

I cannot resist talking to my pets and other animals in some sort of baby voice. I just turn into a completely different person around animals and I'm not even self-conscious about it. ::

I totally do the same thing! And all of my dogs have like two or three different silly nicknames as well. It's a wonder that they still respond to their real names - lol! ::

Me too! only with animals though.
I don't talk to my nephew (3 yr old) or niece (newborn) that way...I use my "grown up voice" with them haha!

I hate (getting) greasy hair. IT SUCKS.

^ Haha I knew I couldn't be the only one. :: I actually have a different baby voice for each of my pets. I don't know why, but I do. I still talk to them regularly too though, without the added ridiculousness.

I say good morning to my pets if they wake me up or when I get up and see them. When I come home I will sometimes ask, "How are you?" or "How was your day?" Sometimes if I'm walking by them in the house I'll say, "Hey, what's up?" I talk to them as I would any other member of my family or my friends. It's a bit odd, but I don't care. They love it.

I would probably be the same way if I had a young niece or nephew! ::

My dogs are my roommates so they're who I talk to! My neighbors probably wonder about me though...::

^ They probably wonder how awesome you are to communicate with your pets like that.

Haha - I hope that's true but somehow I don't think so! I'm the oddball in a neighborhood of "normal" people. ::

I find the prime minister of Australia attractive....

for some reason.
