Tag! 30 Random Facts About Me

I was tagged by the kind and lovely Stephanie of Beauty is Not Caused.  Please check out her blog--there are make-up reviews (that don't help me--nothing can help me) and also interesting food/personal posts. 

Since I've over-shared once or twice here, you may know most of this stuff already, but here goes:

1. When you're stuffy, sniffling and sneezing, don't bother telling me you're not contagious.  I won't believe you. 
2. But I will be happy to go to the drugstore for you.
3. And even happier to hand you a tissue so you can blow instead sniff-sniff-sniffling non-stop.  That is so annoying!  
4. I try to focus on tasks and not notice other people's clutter.  But once I notice, it starts to bother me. 
5. I usually fail at not noticing other people's clutter (shiver).
6. When I read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in junior high I skipped past ALL of the songs. 
7. I skipped them again when I re-read the books as an adult.
8. When I was born, my dad thought I might become a priest.
9. I was raised Catholic, but am not currently a member of a church. 
10. Despite having strayed, I don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent. 
11. I had a great idea to start my own church.
12. My wife squashed my church idea--now I'll never be a priest.
13. When I was little, I wanted to be the governor of my state. 
14. Later the dream was for my best friend and me to become veterinarians. 
15. The job I am most qualified for is lotto winner.
16. During my very first week of school (ever), a female classmate kissed me.
17. I had to wait over eight years (8 years!!!) for that to happen again.
18. Even though that second kiss made me horribly sick, I decided to be pro-active in trying it again.  (#8 was never going to happen, despite what I wrote in #12)
19. In my youth, I didn't want to get married, have kids or have any commitments, obligations or responsibilities (other than work-related) when I grew up.
20. I got married at 21. 
21. And became a dad at 24. 
22. I'm very lucky that I didn't get what I thought I wanted.
23. Unfortunately I was completely right about taking on work responsibilities.  I do that too quickly.
24. My hair is straight and brown.
25. Back when I had time to spend in the sun and in pools, my hair went blond in the summer.
26. As much as I like Speculoos Cookie Butter (Christmas on a spoon), it gives me indigestion.
27. I wish Nutella did too.  I'm afraid to try the new Hershey brand chocolate spreads.
28. I'm focusing on eating healthy.
29. I try to avoid eating things I wouldn't want to eat the day before a blood test.  That said, Stephanie's favorite pizza topping is pineapple with bacon and I agree, it is the best.
30. Her favorite super hero is Thor--he is one of my favorites too.  Batman is #1 for me, but I'm considering switching to Captain America.  People at work have started calling me that--because I'm kind of an old-fashioned square.  Very un-hipster. 

Hmmm, I had a whole list of ways in which I can be a jerk, but I forgot to include them.  Maybe next time.  :)   Have a great weekend folks!
