tagged

okay, i'm still thinking about it, so i'll do the meme thing that lala tagged me for. but i'm not tagging anyone, because everyone i read has already been tagged. so there.

seven things you probably didn't know about me (probably less random than a regular conversation):

1. my feet look almost exactly the same as my dad's feet, only smaller

2. i have a mild obsession with hamsters. i don't want a hamster. i've never had one. but i think they're fascinatingly and almost intolerably adorable. i didn't really realize it WAS an obsession until i went to tokyo and came back with predominantly hamster-themed souvenirs.

3. i love raw carrots, but cooked carrots sort of make me want to die. they're disgusting.

4. i have never seen most of the 80s movies that everyone else remembers from childhood. i only finally watched the brat pack ones in high school because my friend insisted that i looked like molly ringwald and therefore must watch practically every movie she ever made. but the goonies and labyrinth and gremlins and heathers? like, totally not.

5. i'm pretty okay with rats, bats, snakes and bugs and all of the usual creepy crawly things that people have phobias about (although earwigs definitely freak me out a little, thanks to the opening scene of the second star trek movie). of all living things on earth, i'm most frightened of people.

6. reading my old diaries tends to depress me.

7. with the exception of family (and my dad's frat brothers' families, who are pretty much the same thing), i do not know a single person now that i knew seven years ago. everyone is new. kind of amazing to think about.
