curse you amanda!

so when i saw the "five things few people know" appear on ryan's blog my heart fluttered. not with anticipation, but with the terror you get when you are playing tag and you get tagged. or maybe that's just my terror. so i knew amanda would tag me. damn it. the main problem is i talk too much so there is really not all that much hidden in the depths of my soul.

1. fears seems to be a category people tackle. mine? walking up/down stairs in the dark. hate it. am convinced i will plummet to my death.
2. my new year's resolution every year is to not regret things. this means taking advantage of opportunities so that i won't regret not doing something and accepting the calamities i bring upon myself. at the same time, 90% of what i do is so that i can tell people i did it. savoring the experience is often eclipsed with telling a story about it afterward.
3. i purchase many, many books i never really read. and i have a strange ownership issue with books. don't like to borrow them, don't like to lend them (cheesy girl fiction aside).
4. i like all my cold beverages served at room temperature with no ice. i don't like cold on my teeth unless it is ice cream. this includes biting into popsicles which is akin to death for me.
5. the only thing i ever stole was a small blue ceramic shoe with a yellow lace that really tied. i stole it from a family i babysat for only a couple times. i have no idea why i did it but i think the shoe is still in my bedroom in philly.

i also hate trying to come up with shit like this because i sound a)boring and b)like a giant tool. why are you people friends with me?
