Ditto on #13. There’s nothing more satisfying than clearing off your desk, but I can never make it last more than a day or two. :)
I am left handed and I have never had a bleeding nose.
I used to think that I should be a hand model :) Then I cut my hands a few times and now I figure they are still nice, but would probably need to be a little too heavily air brushed…
I also used to not make my bed, but something happened in the last year and now it always needs to be made!

I love my feet too! And I really love random trivia/facts so this one was right up my alley.
I am the opposite in terms of bed making and desk cleaning. I make my bed (i.e. fluff up the down comforter over the messy sheets) every morning. It gives me peace of mind. So does the clean desk thing; clutter aggravates me! How about I come clean your desk and you can repay me in Green Monsters and Glo Bars!?? :)
Angela, so funny about the foot model thing. All of my friends still to this day make fun of me because I always used to say I wanted to be a foot model. Also, I’m technically 5’3 1/2 and always say I’m 5’4…It’s much better to round up.
I’ve always envied those who can go without the snooze. That is one of my necessities I am afraid!
I’m a Taurus too! May 12!
Birds creep me out…I’m always scared they are going to “go” on me, and I think they are sneaky b/c they fly away so fast.
I collect rubber duckies and teapots.
2 things about me, I could go on for awhile, but Glee is on!
Shut up!! My birthday is on May 16 too! 1991 to be exact.
WOW! We are birthdaymates! Woohoo!
Thanks for being an inspiration ang
love lots, cynth
6. astrology is so intriguing!
12. hahah, me too!
23. im a chapstick fiend, myself.
NEVER HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON?!?!?! Angela let me in your tips. My posts the last two days have been all about how I’m a SNOOZE MONSTER.
I love this list! What a great way to get to know you! Mallard won’t kiss me when I wear lipstick either! Guys!
Hi Angela!
Came across your blog & I love it! Wow, you never hit the snooze button?!?! HOW do you do that? That’s a superwoman trait I wish I had! I set 3 alarms and snooze my way through them all. I need to set my first alarm about 2 hours before I absolutely HAVE to get up…that’s so bad!
It’s hard to believe that you’re shy, since you’re so open about yourself on the blog. I’m shy too… there are certain situations that just make me freeze up. I wish I could get over it but sometimes it feels more like a physiological response than a psychological one. Also hard to believe you were a troublemaker in high school!
At several points in my life, my dream was to become a veterinarian. More than halfway through university I decided my passion for languages was greater than my passion for science, and now I work as a translator. Another thing about me—I am extremely jealous of people who seem to pick up new languages very easily.
Since feet have been a recurring topic—I’m 5’3” and wear a 9 or 9.5. But I’m kind of proud of my big feet :-).
Ba Ha Ha, i’m 5’4″ AND A HALF tooooo!!
I love these, we have a lot in common! I’m also a Taurus (May 6), 5’4.75″ (so I claim 5’5″ haha), and I was definitely a rebellious teen. I only wear lip gloss too and I also did the choir thing ;-)
Oh! And I won a lot of spelling bees. I came in 2nd in our state one time too. Haha, too funny.
