25 Random Things
(I was peer-pressured into this)
1. I was shocked to find out that the food industry uses real strawberry seeds in strawberry jam and yoghurt to make you think there's real fruit in there when there isn't. They had me fooled all these years.
2. I slept under the stars many times -- it's unbeatable.
3. The age difference between my husband and I seems to be shrinking year by year.
4. I am in love head over heels.
5. I have never had a steak or a hamburger in my whole life.
6. I'd rather be misquoted than have a bad photo run. Just kidding. But still.
7. I have never played a video game.
8. I have never had a gym membership.
9. I have the cutest cat in the world.
10. I love adventure. I love traveling. I love people.
11. I prefer less developed countries over affluent ones. Not sure why. I find life in a western country much less challenging and thus less stimulating and definitely less adventurous.
12. I always say I do not like big corporate shopping establishments, like malls and Macy's and Publix, yet that's pretty much where I shop all the time. I would much rather shop in small privately owned pastry shops and bakeries and tailors.
13. I always say I'd much rather walk than drive yet I drive everywhere.
14. I fall asleep in about a minute and sleep through the night.
15. Medicine and drugs freak me out, especially synthetic ones. I will take antibiotics when needed but I would never take an aspirin for a headache.
16. I could never follow anyone on Twitter.
17. Sometimes I feel beautiful and other times I feel ugly.
18. I love toe rings.
19. I only like to watch TV once in a while.
20. I wanna go camping.
21. I drive an SUV.
22. I like riddles and always solve them.
23. I can solve the Rubic's cube in a few minutes.
24. I was once mistaken for Britney Spears.
25. I like intelligent, stimulating conversations that go way into the night. Small talk makes me feel tired.
26. I love tropical weather and tropical plants and heat in general.
27. I love verandas.
27B. I love shadows.
28. I don't have a tattoo.
29. I have never called anyone 'dude" "honey" or "da'hling".
30. I am fundamentally against the death penalty, even in the case of murderers. Killing people to show people that killing is wrong does not add up.
31. I like my eggs sunny side up.
32. Oops, this is more than 25 things already.
This must have been a pretty boring read, so thanks everyone for enduring and have a wonderful weekend.
Bye for now.
Agnes
33. Life is fun

Agnes this is quite a list. I can attest the list is true and more. One of your most endearing qualities is the contrast between the different qualities. And it is true about Rubic's Cube. I've witnessed it many times. You only left out the fact that you are simply you and most of us who are busy being who we think we should be can't say that.
Love

I must agree, your complexity is fascinating! And I am not much for small talk either haha! Stay real.

Sometimes you feel ugly?! Are you kidding? Yeah...I know you aren't fishing for esteem builders...but you should see what I have to look at every day! (You are cool, Dah'ling...)
I love this kind of stuff. Too bad I can't find you on Twitter ;)
Posted by: Andy | July 06, 2009 at 04:15 PM
Agnes,
I enjoyed reading your list. Some of the stuff I knew but I did not know you find small talk boring. I thought that is what you and I sometimes do! I LOVE our small talk!
Love,
Robyn

We have quite a lot in common!
You are right, age differences shrink with time. And the strawberries thing? I was fooled too!
I think the last time I played video games was in the 90, probably my old Gameboy. I don't understand these state of the art games today...

@ Robyn: I love our small talk too. You're never boring.
Posted by: Agnes | July 06, 2009 at 11:36 PM
@ Zhu: I know, bummer on the strawberries.
