Still pissed off about this rent business. here's 40 random facts and quirks about myself to take my mind off of it (inspired by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pill)
1. I'm left handed but I always have to hold an ice cream cone in my right hand or I feel like I might drop it. No clue why this is.
2. Hot Fuzz is one of my favorite movies because I love both British comedies and murder mysteries.
3. I used to work in a convenience store and I once let a farmer pay me for his gas in goat's milk because he needed gas and didn't have enough $$ on him.
4. I usually suck at math but I did figure out how to do a 15% tip in my head. Just figure out 10% and add half.
5. I got my first kiss on stage. I was 13 and in New York at a time when a lot of plays had audience participation. The guy who kissed me was an actor named Bobby Lee.
6. I could read when I was 2.
7. I have a giant uncanny valley reaction to big eye little mouth anime characters. I do like ATLA but they tone that stuff way down to a point where it doesn't bother me.
8. I hate clowns.
9. My two favorite cereals aren't made anymore. They're Almond Delight and Team flakes. Nobody but me even seems to remember them.
10. I want nothing to do with having kids.
11. I really dislike the word "eccentric" because it's used to excuse fucked up crazy behavior in rich people.
12. I like weed and I drink but I'm too nervous to try anything stronger, particularly since I had a cousin who killed himself on a bad acid trip.
13. Also, I don't like tweakers. I had a mean crazy abusive ex who was a tweaker.
14. I love most animals.
15. But not mice. I hate them.
16. I hate roaches too but I find most other bugs interesting. I will scoop bees out of any pool I'm in.
17. If I'm watching a movie from United Artists I will trace the old logo with the right angled lines in the air with my fingers. I liked that old logo and think the newer ones look stupid and boring.
18. I made up a parody of one of my favorite movies, Pulp Fiction, by recasting cartoon characters.
19. For about the past 16-18 years I have been intensely sexually attracted to Hugh Laurie. There isn't currently any other celebrity I've been attracted to on that level.
20. I love reading, music and a lot of movies and TV shows, and the first time I go to anybody's home I always look to see what books, music and videos they have.
21. I'm straight but the majority of my friends are GLBT.
22. I think the Simpsons and SNL stopped being good ages ago and should just go away. I used to love those shows.
23. There is an instrumental guitar piece that I love but don't know the title of or what band recorded it. I've nicknamed it "the Beatles in the Twilight Zone".
24. I can do a good Beavis voice.
25. I have no piercings.
26. I don't own a cell phone.
27. I never found Seinfeld funny.
28. I love tea.
29. My taste in music goes all over the map.
30. I love chocolate.
31. I read the New Yorker and I like it but they use some verbal anachronisms that drive me nuts, especially their tendency to put hyphens where they don't belong, like in "ice cream" and "teenager" and "fish and chips".
32. I occasionally draw cartoons.
33. I love to sing karaoke.
34. I think Trailer Park Boys is hilarious.
35. I have met three of the Monty Python guys.
36. I'm an atheist.
37. I love spicy food.
38. I watch cooking competition shows the way a lot of people watch sports.
39. I was bullied horrifically in school.
40. I don't believe in astrology.
