I won't subject you to my 25 things on facebook...

...but if you are interested, here are 25 random things you probably never knew about me.

1. I brush my teeth with my eyes closed
2. I am obsessive about washing my sheets every Sunday
3. Was thrilled when someone told me my name sounded like it came out of a Jane Austen novel
4. Have problems with self control, which is why I have never allowed myself to do certain things
5. Only wore makeup to school one day in my entire life (elementary school - concealer - because I cut my face up in a rollerskating accident and it was picture day)
6. I hate it when people spit on the sidewalk
7. Have probably paid well over a thousand dollars in library fines in my life
8. Paid for my own school supplies and field trips during elementary school (we was po)
9. Operated on worms as a little kid (not in a sick, sadistic way, but in an I'm going to heal you kind of way)
10. I am still angry that I was put in the next-to-best reading group in first grade. Meghan Knight was the only person in the Whales reading group, and to this day I believe I deserved to be in the same group. Oh, and I also hold grudges.
11. Read and love 19th century British literature and trashy romance novels
12. My dog sleeps in my bed every night
13. My grandmom told me that she thinks my future husband will have a problem with #12. She also told some family members that I don't need a man because the dog is keeping my bed warm for me. She has also told me that she is worried about my future because I am so opinionated, and that my future husband probably won't like the way I make my bed. She grates on my nerves sometimes.
14. I think I'm the only one in my immediate family who manages money well
15. Have never been in love
16. I park near a pond and sit in the car and read a book when I really need to get away from people
17. Was almost named Ruth
18. Adore my morning bus driver
19. Have never kissed anyone
20. Have an amazing sense of smell, but bad eyes and ears
21. Am not very approachable if I don't know you
22. Don't own any white underwear.(Is this too much information?)
23. Love magic tricks
24. Feel awkward in most social situations
25. Don't drink coffee
