25 Random Things About Me:
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note containing 25 random facts about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
1. Until I left for grad school and with the exception of two work injuries at the deli I always went to the same clinic/hospital that I was born in.
2. Doc has spoiled me by being competent and putting up with my silliness so I'll probably die if I go back. Seriously they are messing up my middle sister, her doc never heard of fricking MS (she may or may not have MS, we don't know because he is too stupid to test her).
3. I love my plants. They have their own room in my apartment, they share it with my computer/home office.
4. When I was an infant I shared my nursery with Daddy's computer until we moved into our house not long before middle sis was born.
5. The number 5 is my favorite number, I am all into multiples of 5, LiteralDan shares this obsession.
6. I collect GIANTmicrobes, I'm such a nerd!
7. If they made my research organism I would be so happy!
8. I am seriously considering using GIANTmicrobes to decorate any future offspring's nursery, if I have girls then syphilis and kissing disease, a boy perhaps cold and the clap...
9. I would rather have girls than boys if I procreate, which means I will definitely end up with boys with only the weird family thing to protect me from that fate. My Dad has three girls and has a granddaughter, his sister (who really wanted a girl) has three boys and a grandson.
10. I have a friend who only wants boys, I told her we should plan ahead so we can trade!
11. While Richard was top speller in the 3rd grade I peaked in 2nd by winning my class's bee, I blew the first word in the big bee (thru not through, lol).
12. I wanted to write a microbiology version of the 12 days of Christmas but got too busy and sick to actually do it, maybe I'll get it written for this Christmas!
13. Researching the Dreidel Song for my newest song made me fall in love with it and I think given how Christmas seems to be trying to kill me I might want to consider celebrating Hanuka instead, of course that holiday would have 8 days instead of just 2 to get the job done should it decide to kill me too...
14. I hope Ian records my new song soon...
15. Like Richard I can't dance, we are just too pigmentally challenged my dearest adopted uncle! It was hilarious when Niecey was learning to dance, you could tell who she was copying in the beginning, the slightest bob thing was my signature dance, with my bad knee and her poor coordination at the time it was the best move for both of us. Her style has evolved a lot since then but I think you can see some of her early influences, you be the judge (the tongue out arms outstretched is a new move she invented, the zombie!):
16. When I had my appendix out I "raced" the other appendectomy kid and totally smoked him, of course I was a few years older and had the laproscopic and I think his burst and they had to cut him all the way open. Either way I gave him a head start and I dragged my own IV and held my own guts in, he had two nurses!
17. I rode a mechanical bull when I was 16 (give or take), it messed up my wrist and I suspect is part of why I messed it up so bad here. The only good part I can think of is that I was in a volunteering group and we went to the mayor of my hometown's wake and I made his widow laugh when I answered her question as to what I did to my wrist (it was splinted) with my standard, "I got into a fight with a mechanical bull, it won." It is one of the prouder moments of my life, it felt good to be able to give that poor woman something to laugh about in such a horrible time.
18. I wish I knew where my appendectomy video went, I'm afraid my mother recorded over it, it was pretty cool and I brought it to school to show my biology class.
19. I am going to ask for a vid of my stomach scope, if I think it is cool enough you will all get to see it too.
20. This is my least favorite kind of meme, I suck at thinking of stuff off the top of my head, I need inspiration to work my quirky magic!
21. I am giddy over the impeachment/impeachment trial of my former governor, my office mate told me I was enjoying reading the paper too much the other day since I kept cracking up while reading about it. Seriously how can you not when you read about how he is trying to cast himself as the victim and boycotting his own trial. He is a lovely dramatized version of Chicago politics, never trust a Chicago politician, the corruption jokes aren't actually jokes, the politicians are!
22. The thought of Blago making Oprah the replacement senator amused me greatly, I think I would have considered watching whatever channel broadcasts the senate stuff just to see if she treated it like her show, hehehe. Hell I'd consider voting for her just to see that, especially if the republican candidate sucked (probably would, it is IL and they all do in both parties)!
23. Adam Sandler has a special place in my heart, my mother really needs to start paying attention to if he is in movies she takes us to see. My prude and somewhat religious mother. Did any of you see Little Nicky? She made me see it because she somehow got free tickets and didn't want to waste them by not going even though I had a paper due the next day... Only reason she didn't walk out is because of the huge fit she threw to make us go, she was extremely offended by that movie and I enjoyed it greatly knowing that! His Zohan movie offended her too just not as much, hehehe.
24. I think I harass my doctor too much but probably don't see him as much as I should. I have trouble figuring out if whatever is bad enough to warrant a visit and since I am sickest at night and usually feel a lot better in the morning I usually put off calling for weeks. If he talked to me at 2am many nights in the past he'd have been able to convince me to have just about any test/referral he wanted. Figuring out this stuff was always Mom's job, I am so not into this grown up crap!
25. I always procrastinate going to bed, even when I am exhausted and it doesn't make much sense because I love being in bed!

This seems way to hard!
It is, especially when one's brain is shutting down for the evening!
My dear niece,
I will say nothing about your brain shutting down. After all, you mentioned me 3 times.
But too hard? Sorry, but watching Adam Sandler would be tougher:).
Love & blessings
Richard
Oh no, watching the devil shove a pineapple into a french maid costumed Hitler sitting next to my mother and knowing she is horrified by the whole thing brought me great joy. If she had not been such a psychopath about taking me I probably wouldn't have liked the movie that much but the whole experience has it one of my favorites and I adore Adam Sandler for that. Her commentary about how they are getting it all wrong and such as if it was a documentary on Christianity/religion also amused me greatly.
LOVE the nursery decor concepts. Brilliant.
You should add #26: Has never seen The Money Pit with Tom Hanks. (Definitely worth renting.)
Deb: You have my permission to use it for LG's nursery or the Ambassador's bedroom! I think my kids will know all about STI's (Sexually Transmitted Infections, it is more PC than STD's and VD's apparently), before they know what sex is, hehehe. I suppose I will have to add that movie to the incredibly long list of movies I have to see someday, lol.
That's the best #5 in any list I've ever seen.
Dan: Haha, figured you'd like that!
How long did it take you to do this? It took me like three hours. It was tough.
Jason, oh thank goodness I am not the only one! I can't remember but it definitely took awhile, I am so much better if there are questions and I don't have to make it all up.
