getting to know you...

well, getting to know me actually. i'm about to turn 30, (i don't feel 30. usually i feel more like a 20 year old, but then i hang out with 20 year olds and i'm like "no, i'm definitely 30.") so i put together a list of 30 things you may or may not know about me:

1. i think cats are super creepy and i want absolutely nothing to do with them. i am quite convinced that if they ever developed opposable thumbs they could eliminate the human opposition and take over the world. cats are basically serial killers as it is.
2. napoleon dynamite pictionary is pretty much my favorite game to play at work.
3. oh yeah, i totally get payed to play games and stuff. be jealous.
4. my favorite snow cone flavor is tiger's blood.
5. i think superman is the best looking superhero. scratch that. i think clark kent is the best looking superhero alter ego. superman wears entirely too much spandex and his hair is basically glued in place. gross.
6. i don't like skittles. i'm told that's strange. whatever.
7. i also don't like cake, in any incarnation. for some reason people find this upsetting, but i'm like "what's the big deal? if i don't eat any that leaves more for you." duh.
8. there is a card game in existence called "lindsay's awesome." it's named after me. i have no idea how to play, but that doesn't even bother me because, c'mon, it's named after me.
9. i regularly appear in public sans makeup. i'd so much rather sleep for 5 extra minutes.
10. i kind of hate driving. partly because i drive this thing, and partly because i'd just prefer to sit in the passenger seat.
11. i am the world's worst decision maker. actually, that honor might belong to my father, but i'm close. i hate making decisions. i waffle for hours, days, weeks even. it's a genuine handicap.
12. i'm a jelly bean racist. i only like the white ones.
13. when i was a kid, my favorite movie was newsies. my siblings and i watched it often enough to ruin the tape (yeah, this was in the days when we watched movies on vhs. i'm old, whatever.). my sister and i actually learned the choreography to most of the dance numbers. you might think this is sad and pathetic, but i disagree. it. was. awesome.
14. i love, love, love the smell of campfires.
15. i just learned to drive stick this spring. i'm still pretty terrible at it. i'm also not sure i care.
16. my feet are perpetually cold.
17. i think snow is magical.
18. i don't like cinnamon flavored (or scented) anything. it doesn't actually taste (or smell) like cinnamon. that box of hot tamales is just a box of lies.
19. i am an art lover in general, but i really don't care for the impressionists. i loved van gogh least of all until i saw this episode of doctor who. 
20. i am a whovian. don't judge.
21. i wish i had a fireplace so i could cozy up in front of it and drink apple cider (or hot chocolate) and read a book on a crisp fall day or in the dead of winter.
22. i also wish i had someone to cozy up with. that would be ideal. i'm cool on my own too though.
23. i love avocados. they are delicious and i relish any opportunity to eat them. unless you mess them up by making guacamole with bits of other stuff mixed in.
24. i am a terrible procrastinator. and by that, of course, i mean that i am extremely good at it.
25. i really enjoy naps. i would take one every day if i could.
26. i kind of looked like yoda as a baby. my ears were a little pointy and i was bald until i was about 3.
27. my hair still grows really slowly.
28. i love brushing my teeth. well, that's not strictly true. it's not so much that i love brushing my teeth as it is that i love when my teeth are clean, which means i also enjoy a visit to the dentist.
29. i have a tiny disco ball hanging in my kitchen. i don't know why i decided it should live there. i don't even know where it came from in the first place. i honestly don't even care. i like it, so it's there.
30. my birthday is in 5 days!!!!!
