This Is Your Brain...

1. I like to sleep with the TV on. Otherwise I begin thinking about things and my mind is wide awake. Plus, it casts light in the room so the Neanderthal in my closet can't get me.
   
2. The Neanderthal from that episode of X-Files has been living in my closet for the last 12 years. She even followed me to Alaska and lived in my attic.
   
3. I hold the firm belief that two negatives do NOT make a positive.
   
4. I sing along with the radio in my car when no one's looking.
   
5. I'm a Pepper.
   
6. It makes me feel special that my favorite pop has it’s very own tab on fast food cup lids.
   
7. I own more knives than bras.
   
8. I detest most grape flavored things. They remind me of grape Children’s Tylenol. I wouldn’t swallow pills for the longest time. Until I was 13, I think. So I’d have to eat 4-6 chewable grape Tylenol.
   
9. I hate techno music and I find anyone who likes it suspect.
   
10. With very little effort, I could sleep until 2 in the afternoon if I wanted.
    
11. I love lists.
    
12. I'm a Trekkie.
    
13. I hate it when people say they’re spiritual, but not religious. WTF?
    
14. I took a world religion class in junior college and it pisses me off ‘cause it was so boring and then my university wouldn’t even take the transfer credit.
    
15. I have a sticker on my truck of a female version of Calvin peeing on men (sorry).
    
16. I’m not a lesbian. Even though some people who don’t know me may think that. If I were still younger than 14 they’d just think I was a tomboy.
    
17. Sometimes my hands smell like magnets.
    
18. I used to smell things all the time, so I know what magnets smell like.
    
19. I took about six months worth of drum lessons when I was 12. One day soon I want to own a set of electric drums so I can practice again without bothering my roommate.
    
20. I've never watched Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane or any part of The Godfather. But I have seen the Spice Girls movie at least a dozen times.
    
21. I hate poetry that doesn't rhyme. It's really just a pretentious short story with poor grammar.
    
22. I get most of my vitamins through my shampoo and all my antibiotics through Burger King meat.
    
23. I can distinctly remember the last two times I ate string cheese. When I was 12 on a hike up Dead Man's Hill with my aunt and uncle. And when I was 4 after I swam at Lake Louise with my cousins. Both times were very traumatic.
    
24. I hate it when people say swum. Or fungi with a J sound.
    
25. I own over 200 CDs and have 5,700 hundred songs and counting on my hard drive.
    
26. I wrote out my entire AP English test with the pen on my Swiss Army knife.
    
27. I want Alan Keyes to be president.
    
28. I took 2 semesters of French in high school, but I can only remember the common phrases that I already knew before I took the classes.
    
29. My sister is 10 years older than me and my brother is 8 years older. Sometimes they used to make me kiss the floor, but my sister was usually protecting me.
    
30. I'm so glad I was born the baby of the family. It's the best thing ever.
    
31. My mom had to convince my dad for 6 years to have another kid.
    
32. I have two tattoos, one on each arm. My next tattoo is going to be a 'W' on each butt cheek so when I bend over it says WOW.
    
33. I hate it when people say PIN number. It's like saying Personal Identification Number number.
    
34. When I see pedestrians on the side of the road I always say, "Thump, thump. Two points." Like I'm running them over.
    
35. I've owned 6 cars in the last 7 years (is it really that many?).
    
36. I would secretly like to buy a car with 197,000 miles just so I can drive it past 200k and say I've owned a car with over 200k miles.
    
37. I can’t stand it when the seam in my sock is crooked. My grandma said as a child I used to fuss and cry until she fixed it.
    
38. I usually pour half and half on my cereal. And I drink the little cups of creamer at restaurants like a shot.
    
39. I scored in the top 4% of the nation in reading comprehension on my ACTs, but I don’t like to read books that much. I prefer magazines.
    
40. One time I accidentally watched nearly half of Lost in Translation.
    
41. The fastest I've ever driven was 119 MPH in my '89 Beretta. I wanted to see if it could go 120 like the speedo said, but I saw another car on the road so I had to slow down.
    
42. I’m deathly allergic to cats, but I still like them. The meat is leaner than beef (just kidding).
    
43. When I was 15 I shot my first deer, an 8 pointer. I took it to the buck pole and won a Savage .270 rifle.
    
44. My mom named me after her sister, Theresa (or Terri for short), who died in 1972 and her grandma Anna.
    
45. My dad got to pick my middle name and he picked Fae because it was short and he figured I had a long enough name already.
    
46. My only real nickname has been Teriyaki.
    
47. I once hit my brother's car when backing out of the driveway. Thankfully, there was no damage at all to either vehicle or I might have had to tell him about it.
    
48. At a towering 5'6", I'm the tallest female in my extended family (out of about 20 others).
    
49. My favorite Disney movie is Bambi, even with all the anti-hunter sentiments Walt added to the original story.
    
50. I had the same Play School alarm clock well into college, even though the snooze button didn’t work right and the alarm sometimes wouldn’t go off altogether.
    
51. My favorite ice cream is Haagen-Dazs coffee flavor.
    
52. I'm hungry.
    
53. I like the smell of gasoline.
    
54. I never thought Seinfeld was all that great. A show about nothing? Try a show about a bunch of whiners. In my mind, the greatest sitcom that ever was and ever will be is Married With Children.
    
55. My favorite food is Cadbury Cream Eggs.
    
56. I can’t stretch and touch my toes. I’ve never been able to do it. My legs are too long.
    
57. Daisies are my favorite flower.
    
58. I used to think the Credence Clearwater Revival lyrics went, “There’s a bathroom on the right.”
    
59. I pour ketchup on my ketchup.
    
60. I can tell the difference between male and female stink bugs. I happened upon their mating season one summer and discovered the females have longer legs that they use to dig a hole in the dirt just before mating.
    
61. I wish I could lift up one eyebrow at a time. Like I’m being mischievous. But I can’t. The best I can do is to wrinkle my forehead and slightly close one eye so it looks like possibly one eyebrow is higher than the other.
    
62. I can curl my tongue, though.
    
63. I’ve never broken any bones in my body, but when I was 12 I did bruise my tailbone. If I sit just right, I can still feel a twinge of pain there.
    
64. I hate it when I microwave a hotdog for too long and it splits.
    
65. Tornadoes are one of my biggest fears, even though I haven’t actually seen or experienced one in real life.
    
66. I once had a dream that my friend and I built a tornado out of beef jerky.
    
67. My ultimate challenge in life is to be the first person to comment on one of Lisa’s posts. The best I’ve done so far is 5th place.
    
68. My most favoritest coffee mug is my Pig Cup I got in the third grade for winning the Pig Out On Books contest. I read so many books in the tiny school library that I even started reading little kiddie books. You know the ones with big, thick cardboard pages.
    
69. I love gum, but I don’t buy it too often. If I buy a 17-stick pack of Big Red gum it will be gone within a few hours and my jaw will be sore.
    
70. I’m right handed, but I air guitar left handed.
    
71. I don’t like pickles or bologna, but I like pickled bologna.
    
72. I pronounce the word Ramen, like in Ramen noodles, with a long A sound. This is how it’s spelled and I’ve looked it up online and found this is how it’s supposed to be pronounced even though others tell me they’ve looked it up and it’s supposed to have an ‘ah’ sound.
    
73. I cannot for the life of me properly pronounce the word asked. I say assed.
    
74. I went through 8 years of grade school, 4 years of high school and 3 years of college thinking the Klu Klux Klan was a white supremacy group. It wasn’t until an episode of Reno: 911 when they made fun of them by calling them the Ku Sux Klan that I realized there’s no L in the first word.
    
75. I have a collection of miniatures.
    
76. I love Wal-Mart, no matter what anybody says about it. They give me good deals and let me sleep in their parking lots when travelling.
    
77. MS Word just corrected me above when I wrote travelling with two L’s. I changed it back and added it to the dictionary. It should have two consonants in the middle to make a short vowel sound.
    
78. I was the copy editor for my high school yearbook.
    
79. I think Microsoft is pure evil. So much so that when I signed up with Messenger to instant message for charity, I found all the charity options they gave me suspect since anything Microsoft endorses could be evil too.
    
80. I can’t stand people who say they don’t vote and brag about it. I never say anything, though, since it’s probably better that those idiots don’t vote.
    
81. In 8th grade I was 10 pounds heavier than now. I quit drinking as much pop and had to run every day for PE so I lost weight and was never able to gain it back for good.
    
82. Yes, I say pop and not soda. Even when I lived in Alaska and everyone was saying soda, I refused. I figure if you’re gonna call soda pop by a nickname, go with something short.
    
83. I lived in Juneau, AK for a year.
    
84. I grew up on a potato farm in Northern Lower Michigan. If you hold up your right hand, it’s between your middle and ring finger right where the first wrinkle on your middle finger is.
    
85. I don’t like rings. I play with them on my finger too much and they hold moisture after I wash my hands.
    
86. I’m a direct descendant of Sacagawea.
    
87. I’ve never borrowed money for a car. I’ve always paid cash.
    
88. I’m a lifetime member of the NRA.
    
89. When I was young I’d get scared in the bathtub when I couldn’t see the bottom. Like a shark was going to come out of nowhere and attack me. I felt the same way swimming at the lake when I couldn’t see bottom, but that’s not as weird.
    
90. My favorite restaurant is Applebee’s. It used to be Palmer’s Place until the health department closed it down.
    
91. I wear 2,000 gram Thinsulate insulated boots when I go hunting.
    
92. I like to buy generic cola and put generic lemon juice in it.
    
93. I once killed a spider by whipping off my belt and hitting it like Indiana Jones.
    
94. One of my favorite snacks is a green apple cut in half with peanut butter and raisins on it. We learned to make it in kindergarten.
    
95. My favorite show is Judge Judy. It used to be MAD TV, but that hasn’t been funny in a while.
    
96. I should be studying for my geography exam right now instead of writing this list.
    
97. For several years I’ve had shoulder pain in my left shoulder. Always my left. And I’ve never figured out why.
    
98. I once sliced half my pinky nail off using a carrot peeler on a potato.
    
99. I’ve had 4 dogs all named Max.
    
100. I want on my epitaph the chorus from the Randy Travis song “I Did My Part”.
