25 things about me
kelly | 23 June 2005 - 7:41am
- I was born on my great-grandmother's birthday.
- I am afraid of falling. Not heights, but the actual act of falling.
- I have never had a cavity, a broken bone, or stitches.
- I've always wanted to be a mermaid.
- This is my favorite number and ring size.
- I have only been in love once in my life.
- I do not believe there is only one "soul mate" for each of us.
- I have cows for neighbors. No, really.
- My family, my life, is in Redneck Valley. But if I were alone, without those connections, I would choose to live in New York City.
- My preschool teacher once told my mom I was "bossy." That hasn't changed.
- I cannot bend over and touch my toes.
- I don't like to hold babies.
- I have a visceral fear of snakes which I call my Adam and Eve Complex.
- I do not believe in Adam and Eve.
- I never wear shorts, unless I'm working out.
- I "collect" metro rides. I have ridden on subway trains in Paris, Madrid, Mexico City, Toronto, San Francisco, Atlanta, DC, New York, London, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and Montreal. (updated 9/05, 4/06, 6/06, 7/11)
- I hate card games.
- I hate kickball.
- I love steak.
- I have never been really drunk. Tipsy yes, but never silly-stupid, stumbling, don't remember anything in the morning drunk. Losing control, even for an hour, scares me.
- If there's a next life, I wouldn't mind coming back as a pampered housecat.
- I dread going to the eye doctor more than going to the gynecologist. Eye drops are evil.
- I am left handed but do almost everything, except writing, right handed.
- People say I have boyish handwriting.
- I have a special talent for guessing the contents of wrapped packages. I get this from my mom. (Bring on the presents, yo!)

Happy Birthday! =) I think it is cool that you always wanted to be a mermaid. I am glad to know that you believe there is more than one soulmate for each of us ( I lost my first one and look for another).
Currently, I would rather have cows for neighbors than the neighbors I have, although I must admit I have had worse neighbors before.
Did you accurately guess all the items inside your packages? Did you happen to get anything PINK?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU
Hope you have a most excellent birthday, Kelly. (I've no idea why I'm channeling Bill and Ted this morning.) You deserve it.
(And I, too, am curious if you guessed what was in those packages Rob spent over 45 minutes wrapping in the cool basement.)
Party on, Dude!
Um...concerning #25, can we say peppercorn does not = bath salts...
:D
You say it's your birthday!
(Duh nuh nuh nuh NUH nuh!)
Well, it's MY BIRTHDAY TOO!!
(Duh nuh nuh nuh NUH!)
You say it's your birthday!
(Duh nuh nuh nuh NUH nuh!)
Gonna have a GOOD time!
(Duh nuh nuh nuh NUH!)

Happy day, Kell, you... you... you Birthday Girl, you!
Oh, and we so totally concur on numbers 10, 18 (HATE!), and 20.
Carry on.
I am SO with you on #22. And that little air puff test they do? Holy cow, that thing makes me cry and wince and when I leave the room, I look like I have a bad case of pink eye in both eyes.
You didn't mention your ability to look adorable even when posing with a toliet. :D
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Kitten!
Happy Birthday to you!
Hope you have the best day ever and get really cool stuff that we get to read about later.

Happy Happy Birthday, Doll! (i posted about your b-day early this morning on the previous post...ooops!)
#26. You have been known to disrupt ghost tours with raucous laugher right at the "frightening" culmination of a story (i.e. a one armed ghost...digging...for it's missing limb). Ok, maybe somebody else was laughing with you. But I swear you started it. ;)
Happy Birthday, Fabulous!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Oh, and I would Sooooo be down with #9.
Your virtual birthday dinner: "Happy Happy Birthday, a very special day! Happy Happy Birthday, that's what we're here to say! Hey! Happy Happy Birthday, may all your dreams come true! Happy Happy Birthday, from Bennigan's to you! Hey!"
What? We wouldn't go there? Chevy's? They'd give you the fabulous hat there... but that would cover up the cute haircut with highlights. You don't wear hats, do you? That should probably replace #25, because I KNOW you didn't guess what I sent. Did you?? lol
Have a wonderful day opening up 45 minutes worth of wrapping!
Oooooh, I LOVE Chevy's for birthdays! Chevy's for birthdays! Chevy's for birthdays! Yay!
Wait. What were we talking about?
Happy Birthday, Chica!
I am with you on #6,7, and 9 (at least for a year or two, and replace CA/UT for Redneck Valley)
re #3...it's not the falling i'm askeered of, it's the landing. re #10...my second grade report card described me as 'managerial'
hippidy berfdey : )

Happy Happppppy birthday Mrs. Stamos!!
First, I just have to say that it is so nice to come home to so many birthday wishes from everyone! Thanks!!
Weetzie, I think there are multiple people out there you can share an amazing love with. It'll happen. :) Don't know whether I got anything pink or not - won't open presents until this evening. And I agree that cows don't make bad neighbors - as long as they stay on their side of the fence...
I know what one present is for sure, LadyBug, and I have a good guess on the other. The others I'm not sure about, but keep in mind I haven't had any of them in my hands yet...
Okay fine, that is true, Doreen. But in my defense, a small container of peppercorns sounds and feels EXACTLY like bath salts! And he had just asked me, "Honey, what do bath salts do?" the day before!! How was I to know he actually was intrigued by bath salts and not just feeling me out about them? Sheesh. ;)
Thank you for the lovely song, Cat, and for making me feel so much better about being bossy and a prude. You are cool enough to pull it off, which means there is still hope for me.
Sherri, my new eye doctor doesn't do the air puff test. No instead, they numb my eye with drops and then TOUCH A PROBE TO THE SURFACE OF MY EYE, over and over and over again. I can't feel it, but I can see my vision warp every time they probe. EEEEEWWWWWW. I've got the heebie-jeebies just typing about it.
Amanda, it must be that fabulous public restroom lighting.
Thanks for the song and the hug, greenie! I'll blog some of my favorite gifts tomorrow.
It's all good, Raz. Can't ever have too many birthday wishes! :)
Syd, well then #27 would be that I've also been known to nearly get myself (and my supervisor) arrested during ghost tours. God I wish you'd been along on that one! Didn't top the one armed ghost...digging...for it's missing limb, though. That was a fucking riot.
Torrie, I can't stay away from NYC for too long. Next time I visit, I want to meet you!
I could get into a very special birthday hat, mrtl. But um, what is Chevy's? ::whispering:: I've never heard of it.
Wait, CAT has heard of Chevy's and I haven't? Dammit, here I thought she missed out on the same things I did, but clearly that is not the case because she knows Chevy's. She LOVES Chevy's. Out of the loop, me.
Thank you, Ern! Come with me when I go visit Torrie!
Managerial?! Oh, that is too funny, meredith! I'm so going to use that. "I'm not being bossy, hon. I'm being managerial." NICE. :)
Kristine just broke out the Marilyn Monroe dress. My day is complete.
I thought you were a pampered housecat?
Happy Birthday!
I love Kelly.
That's all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
You are so hot with your head hanging over a toilet.
(Damn ... I haven't said that to a girl since my Prom night ...)
That shitter is so clean you could eat off of it. It being something in a wrapper, like a candy bar.
Have I told you lately, Happy Birthday?
LAST!
John Boy, are you calling me spoiled pussy? (God, I'm sorry - I couldn't resist.)
Doreen, what would I do without you? Thanks. Just thanks.
Thank you, Bente!
Nilbo, you sure do know how to talk sexy. Oooh lah lah.
It's Barnes & Noble, onzie, what do you expect? Saved the best for last, huh? :)
Happy Birthday to you!!!! You should treat yourself to dinner at Chevy's for your next birthday!!!! Hope you had a great day! Can't wait to hear about all your presents!!
Thank you snookie! I'm keeping my eye out for this place you people call Chevy's....I'm not yet convinced it actually exists. :)
