25 random things

  1. I ran away the summer before grade 10 and spent a weekend on some beach near Comox burning logs, drinking Growers and watching people drive jeeps into the ocean until the police put me on a bus home.
  2. I saw a UFO in grade 12.
  3. I have had 9 cats (2 are still around).
  4. I left the best mix tape ever on the train to Stockholm … Morrisey, the Smiths and some Swedish pop.
  5. My favourite hair colour is blue-black like a comic book character. It was only this colour once and it was very hard to keep up.
  6. I’m in love with the ocean – the smell and sound and taste.
  7. My dream house is a boat.
  8. My favourite foods are mussels and salmon.
  9. I’m extremely shortsighted so even though I had LASIK and am over 40, I will never need readers.
  10. I have a extremely high tolerance for repetitive and boring tasks.
  11. I love live music and wish that I had practiced harder and not traded my violin for pot.
  12. I agreed to get married at the Radiohead concert in Vancouver in 1998, so even though we were only officially engaged for 5 months, we had know for a long time.
  13.  I like the feeling of sore muscles.
  14. I am a dancing fool.
  15. I hate washing dishes and matching socks.
  16. I like standing on mountain tops, but I hate going back down.
  17. Since becoming a mom, my taste in music has mellowed significantly. Learning to name my emotions helped me understand why I like such angry and aggressive music.
  18. I tried to be vegan and ended up with lactose intolerance.
  19. I find that riding my scooter and paddling in big waves are the perfect combination of “fun” and “scary”.
  20. I am wary of stuff and keep trying to get rid of it, except for unique pieces of clothing that go into the tickle trunk.
  21. My favourite colour is orange – like molten glass.
  22. My favourite movies all have puke scenes.
  23. There is land in Ontario that the Government of Canada carved off of Alderville First Nation and traded for my Great-Grandma’s native status when she married a Scottish colonist.
  24. I would rather just hang out and drink, but if Settler’s is what’s happening tonight, then I guess I’m in.
  25. I’m a sucker for a back/foot/head massage.
