Things about me

(in no particular order)

1. My favorite color is turquoise.

3. I am bipolar.
4. I am grossly underpaid.
5. I graduated college with highest honors.
6. I drink lots of water.
7. I recently got addicted to Sudoku.
8. My little sister is getting married.
9. It takes me 10 minutes to choose an ice cream flavor.
10. I hate shopping. Mostly because I can't afford anything.
11. I miss sex.
12. I have lots of photos that are not yet in albums.
13. I will never ever use anything but Tide and Skippy (for detergent & PB, that is!)
14. I wonder if I've already met my soulmate (besheret).
15. I am a good shmoozer, but it's not my favorite activity.

18. I have furniture that came off the street.
19. I might start playing tennis again.
20. I give dirty looks to rude people in subway stations.

23. I need a vacation. Like I *really* need a vacation.
24. I'm not so great at holding down jobs.
25. I want to grow up. Or revert back to age 8.
26. I am genuine and generous and ingenious. Okay, maybe not ingenious.
27. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. This sometimes gets me in trouble.
28. I write to journalists and Congressman regarding Israel mostly.
29. I hide my medications and am paranoid that people will find out my condition. It's such a stigma.
30. I enjoy going to events alone. It allows me more freedom. I met an ex this way.
31. I can't stand pretension.
32. I went to 2 movies alone last week. It was very liberating.
33. I haven't been on a date in 4 months.
34. I haven't had sex in 11 months.
35. I have 5 dates this coming week. When it rains, it pours.
36. I have 2 best friends and I love them. I wonder if they know.
37. I love playing in the rain. I usually leave my umbrella at home.
38. I collect cool magnets. And shot glasses.
39. I've been to Disney World 3 times.
40. I've been to Israel 7 times.
41. I've been in love once. In Israel.
42. I have a pretty mean conscience. I guess this is a good thing.
43. I can be very flirty. I can also be very misleading. Unintentionally.
44. I am always late. Always.
45. My last date told me I was gorgeous and sweet and special. Wow, ego boost.
46. I save my spare change for tzedakah. Except quarters go to the laundry fund :)
47. I feel like I lose friends when they get married.
48. I'm my grandma's favorite (of 9) and she has told me so. She rocks. I love her so much.
49. It is very hard for me to stay on task.
50. I learned to ride my bike at the beach.
51. My dad taught me how to parallel park. I've gotten into NYC spaces with one inch on each side. I exaggerate not.
52. My mom is my pillar of strength. But she's also a pain in my ass.
53. I am trying to figure out where I am Jewishly.
54. I am not a fan of the "real world." And I don't mean the show.

54 is good. It's triple chai. Enough for today. Maybe another day, I'll have some more interesting & random facts about me.
