    A *new* 27 random things about me thread

    I know for a while, there was a facebook trend that was carried over to PT where we listed a random number of facts about ourselves that are unusual or otherwise unknown. I can't remember the number, but let's just call it 27 and do it again since it was so fun the first time round.

    1. I love showtunes, especially sung by John Barrowman.
    2. I miss my old "boring" haircut.
    3. Today I hit my head on the ceiling.
    4. I like to cosplay, but my costumes are nowhere close to perfect. I follow the 10 foot rule.
    5. I am actually enjoying not having to clean any cages right now as all I have is a fish and a dog.
    6. I really, really want to watch M*A*S*H but it's on at weird times so I haven't seen it since I moved from the barn I was working at, they had a dvr.
    7. I watch most movies and shows online.
    8. When I was living with the woman who owned the barn I was working at, I had 24/7 access to a theatre room with a giant wall sized screen and a whooole bunch of channels.
    9. Even though I worked teaching people how to ride for the past 11 months, I have never actually owned my own horse.
    10. I am going to be studying for my BHS Stage 1 this coming spring.
    11. I am a terrible speller and sometimes even used to have to think of a synonym to avoid having to guess. I love that firefox has built in spell check!
    12. I am learning Welsh through a learn Welsh podcast and the BBC's Big Welsh Challenge. It's not going too well since I can only say a few basic greetings.
    13. I once watched a whole season of Angel in a day.
    14. I spent all my money that I had saved for the time between jobs already, mostly on costumes and fast food.
    15. I love listening to Billie Piper music.
    16. I love singing, but sometimes I'm not too good.
    17. I also love accents and sometimes go all day in a certain one, even though I'm convinced they're not too good.
    18. I'm so stupidly excited about going to Cardiff so I can see the Ianto memorial and the water tower where they filmed Torchwood, but I haven't told my future boss I'm such a big fan because I'm afraid she'll think that's the only reason I wanted to go to Wales.
    19. My interest in Wales started with Torchwood but once I started reading about it I just kind of fell in love. Weird place to fall in love with, I know.
    20. As much as I love traveling, I hate moving.
    21. My life can almost be measured in my phases and obsessions.
    22. I have been interested in cosplay for like 4 years but only just started anything this past fall.
    23. I met so many people this year. We always say we'll keep in touch, but we barely do.
    24. Before this summer I had no tattoos. Now I have three.
    25. They are an octopus, a thylacine, and the chapter stars from the top of every page of the American version of the Harry Potter books.
    26. I have quite a lot of music that is based off of or inspired by characters or events in Harry Potter and Doctor Who. (Over 250 songs, actually)
    27. Before this summer I had only done one horse show despite having ridden for 8 years. Now I have done a whole bunch.


    Now post yours!

    1. I can't wait for the day where I can live with my Jackie Loo
    2. I'm graduating from college in roughly 134 days.
    3. I'm scared of the future, but totally ready to jump into the real world.
    4. I'm envious of the people in my graduating class that are married/having babies/buying houses. Not necessarily the baby part, but I'd like a house! lol
    5. I'm going to witness my first pick up/embalming/cremation/visitation/funeral/etc in a few weeks. I'm totally excited.
    6. I just watched Julie and Julia, and fell in love with it. I'm not sure why, I normally don't like movies, but I loved it.
    7. I don't think I'll ever get a tattoo.
    8. I tend to go overboard for people's birthdays or gifts for Christmas. Sometimes I wish that somebody could do the same for me.
    9. I should be doing laundry right now, but it's quite possibly my least favorite thing to do ever.
    10. I wish I would have done as well in school for the first two years as I'm doing these last two years. The future could have been totally different.
    11. I don't get scared at "scary" movies, but I get all teared up watching shows where people are being cheered for or congratulated. It's weird. haha
    12. I'm spending my first Christmas without my family this year.
    13. I want to do something exciting. I'm bored of doing the same thing every day.
    14. I like to in one of the main buildings on campus in between classes when I don't have anything better to do to people watch.
    15. Sometimes I think I sleep too much.
    16. I'm getting a new phone next week. I'm excited to be joining the times of interent phones.
    17. I wish I could video tape every second of my life...but then I think about it, and that'd be a pretty boring tape. Wake up, class, study, work, sleep, repeat.
    18. I love cooking and making new things.
    19. I am constantly listening to music.
    20. I have no imagination and am too serious most of the time. Rich is the furthest thing from serious, so he helps me with this.
    21. I like to have plans and know exactly what's going to happen.
    22. I wish I could sing and or dance.
    23. I like to have things to do and stay busy. I'd go stir crazy if I didn't.
    24. I looove to travel
    25. I own one pair of shoes and no jewlery.
    26. I love the snow
    27. My parent's think I'm trying to sell my car, but secretly I took down the for sale sign. I just can't do it.
