List 20 Random Facts about Yourself.

1. Although your wingspan is supposed to be the same as your height, mine isn't. I'm 5'8" tall, but my wingspan is 6", a good four inches longer. This is probably because:
2. My hands look almost identical to my mother's save one thing: the length of our fingers. We have the same sized palms, the same fingernails, but my fingers are all a few centimeters longer. Our feet are also almost the exact same shape and size, and we're really close to the same height.
3. I started taking piano lessons when I was four. I even taught for two years as a teenager. This is possibly the reason for my elongated fingers.
4. I stopped playing piano when I didn't get into FSU's music school. I haven't really ever started again. As much as I loved piano, singing was my real passion.
5. I don't have the patience to watch movies anymore. They feel so long. I'd rather watch TV shows, because it's split into episodes.
6. I wish I read more, but I don't like serious or educational books. I have few genres I enjoy reading: period piece classic romance novels (Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre,) distopian society novels (1984, The Giver, Anthem) and children's books (Anne of Green Gables, The Chronicles of Narnia, Little House on the Prairie.)
7. I like my freckles. Once, in Sephora, a woman was showing us concealer or primer or something that was tinted so as to remove freckles. She said this while looking at me. I had no interest in that product and was slightly offended by her assumption.
8. I react violently to anesthesia. I'm sure there's a post about waking up from my tonsillectomy in my blog history. I woke up thrashing, yelling, and fighting. Another time, I woke up yelling for my mom and wanting to know the time.
9. I'm taller than my husband by 1/2 to 1 inch. I always thought, as a teenager, that this would bother me. It doesn't. I love him exactly how he is. Although I do realize that the first week we dated, I had eluded myself into believing that he was a few inches taller. New love does strange things to our minds.
10. I can't paint anything without getting it on my clothes. Walls, pictures, w/e. Even as a child. If there is a paintbrush in my hand, there will be paint on me.
11. I have two piercings in each ear and no tattoos.
12. Fleas like me more than normal people. Bug bites on my feet also take longer to heal than normal people. My feet still have spots that look like sores from months ago.
13. I have dysplastic nevus syndrome. I was born with it, apparently because I had moles on my skin as a tiny baby. I'm at higher risk of skin cancer. Other than that, it doesn't have a huge effect.
14. I have a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Mathematics Education from Florida State University. (My diploma is on the wall in this room and I'm running out of facts.)
15. When I married Mike, I inherited a cat named Max. He and I have a love/hate relationship. Maybe all cats are that way.
16. I have a younger brother and an older sister.
17. I saw the musical Wicked in New York on Broadway.
18. I've been to Canada and Mexico.
19. I am always behind the times on joining new sites. I still don't have Twitter, Pinterest, or Google Plus. I stayed on Myspace till 2008 or so, holding off on getting Facebook. I only have this blog because a class assigned in to me.
20. When I was little, I collected keychains. They all hung on a bulletin board in my room.

Tried to comment this morning using my phone but it freaked out and the battery died.

Anyway- meant to say, I'm pretty sure every cat= a love/hate relationship. Sometimes you just luck out and happen to get more love than hate. But even if you don't- you crave the love so much you don't care and you just take the abuse.
