Facebook Meme: 25 Random Things

This is a crazy sort of meme that has been going around Facebook for the past week or so. I posted this list on Facebook...I am cross-posting it here for those readers who are not members or friends:

My 25 Random Things:

1. Never seen the ocean (any of them).
2. Don't like riding in elevators...generally use the stairs if at all possible. Something about them that is too much like a roller coaster.
3. Have always hated OSU football, even before starting at U of M. I guess it was always about being the contrarian to all the people in Dayton who slurp up everything OSU.
4. Almost always leave a single bite of whatever sandwich or burger I am eating. Its weird but remarkably reliable.
5. Never really had pets aside from fish and even that was a longtime ago, but really love cats. I want one.
6. I like to get up at 6 am on school days, consistently get to school between 7:30 and 8 (sometimes earlier).
7. Vowed hater of naps.
8. Notoriously leave cups everywhere all over the house/apartment seemingly never refill the same cup. Its really kinda silly.
9. Something about the grocery store creeps me out. Always antsy to leave whenever I am in on. Doesn't help keeping a well stocked fridge.
10. Have been known to watch a soap opera or two in my life.
11. I like the cold and especially snow. It makes you feel alive.
12. Cherish all the people I interact with even on a wildly inconsistent basis and those I have lost touch with. Perhaps that is why I have my 6th grade, 8th grade, and 12th grade class photos hung on my wall.
13. Don't really drink alcohol because I don't care for the taste and have no desire to get drunk.
14. Perhaps enjoy gummy bears a little too much.
15. I miss not teaching this semester...though its the biggest of biggest timesinks...its just so rewarding.
16. Not a fan of making phone calls or talking on the phone in general. Face to face communication is the best.
17. WSU Raiders basketball, U of Michigan football, Dallas Cowboys football, and Texas Rangers baseball are the best!!
18. Slowest ice cream eater in the world.
19. Biology puts me to sleep...almost instantly.
20. I keep all books and potential useful papers from all my classes dating back to high school. Have a whole bookcase full of books and binders.
21. Have seen the episodes of ALIAS so many times...I see a little of it almost every TV show.
22. I strongly dislike Daniel Craig as Bond...I personally like Roger Moore's Bond.
23. I think the eyes and hair are the most important to the overall attractiveness of a girl (please no more straight bangs)
24. Am a sucker for community activities (like this list idea) as well as department picnics, reunions, etc.
25. My family is the most important thing in my life. They are the greatest!!
