My Randomness

Let's see how far I get before I can't think of something:

1. I have an office supply fetish. I don't like to have sex with them or anything, I just really like them. Especially rollerball pens and notepads. I'm constantly coveting pens and notepads.

2. I will spend a multitude of hours online shopping for the best price, but I loathe regular shopping and avoid it at all costs.

3. I find I work better under pressure, I am also a procrastinator. So I'm usually super stressed out and barely meet deadlines.

4. I have two kids, two dogs, and one cat. I'm pretty sure the cat is related to Satan. His name is Percy Jackson.

5. My last cat was super sweet. Percy is more likely to bite you than let you pet him. He also likes to chase other people's dogs down the street and tries to ride on the top of the car when we're leaving. If he's actually being affectionate it means he's run out of food.

6. I can't stand having cold feet but equally can't stand wearing socks to bed.

7. I've been to Las Vegas four times, Disneyland four times, Hawaii twice, Mexico once, Costa Rica once. I'd really like to travel more but it's hard with kids so mostly we go camping.

8. My least favourite chore is picking up poo in the backyard, followed by mowing the lawn.

9. One of my pet peeves is when people leave their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle and wander off to look for something, you feel so awkward moving their cart out of the way, like you're breaking into their house or something.

10. I am neither a bad driver nor a good driver, although I did once back our pickup truck into a Purolator truck (it was a funny angle!!)

11. Movies where people pull out their teeth give me nightmare for weeks.

12. I used to work in Vancouver. One of the places I worked at owned a box at GM Place. Most of the time we'd get tickets to see the Grizzlies (basketball) because the Canuck's tickets were reserved for wooing clients - but I did get to go a few times. I didn't like it as much - people want to talk to you and all you want to do is watch the game and swear, but your boss is right there.

13. I once won an Xbox at a racetrack while heavily pregnant. Yup.

14. The week after my daughter was born we drove 8 hours from Vancouver to Trail to look at houses. Not a fun drive.

15. Cream of mushroom soup reminds me of vomit.

16. Last year I biked the KVR trail from Kelowna to Penticton. It was 80k and took just over four hours.

17. That last one sounded like bragging, sorry.

18. I hate it when people post motivational phrases/photos on Facebook, like they're saying "hey you, I know you're a lazy sack of crap, perhaps this will get you motivated!".

19. Spelling and grammatical errors drive me insane. More so when it's a company - it's like they don't even care that it makes them look stupid.

20. Example: Tim Horton's radio ad where the guy says "I carefully roast and grind those bean with care" - really? Carefully and with care? Arg.

21. However, sometimes they can be funny. Although not really a grammar error, Kraft was paying the commentators on Sportsnet (I think) to say "brought to you by Kraft Pourable Dressings." This funny thing was that no matter how hard they tried to pronounce the P in pourable, it sounded like horrible. But it did bother me - are dressings normally not pourable?

22. Alright, almost there.

23. Most people tell me years after first meeting me that they though initially I was a sarcastic bitch. But they grew to like me, I suppose.

24. I'm really not sure what to do with that information.

25. My dad taught me how to play Scrabble when I was pretty young. He didn't want to play anymore when I started to beat him regularly.

Yay!
