7 Random Facts About Me:
* I have a frivolous finger that won’t bend backwards. Sigh.
* I get so excited after reading a good book that I feel the compulsion to write the author and gush about their gift of language, only to realize later that I’ve made at least ten typos in my excitement, and have forgotten all about the existence of paragraphs. Double sigh.
* I lose stuff. No, really. I lose my keys at least five times a day. If you give me something to keep for you, don’t bother. It will be gone the next day. I forget a lot too. So I have to mentally check a list of things I need before I get out of the house, and when I still forget something, I have to go back and get it.
* I am actually a member of the Universal Lottery Losers Anonymous, or else called ULLA, pronounced Ul-LHAAA! Obviously, when we do it, we tone down the enthusiasm.
* I cry when watching movies. A lot. The ones which ALWAYS start the waterworks are: Forrest Gump, Finding Nemo, The Notebook, The Lion King, & Million Dollar Baby. Of course, I know what will happen if I played them, but I do it anyway.
* I rate every movie I watch and store it into folders, a well-oiled system. It’s basically a folder-into-folder-into-folder kind of thing. And that’s the ONLY anal-retentive thing on my laptop, everything else is a complete mess, lol.
* I like self-irony. Doh.
