25 Random Things About Me (2010 version)


1) Although I consider myself a casual sports fan, I tune in to ESPN/Sports Center about 90% of the time. During the NFL (National Football League) season, I like listening to analyst Trent Dilfer.

2) I don't have any sports team loyalties but enjoy watching an exciting, competitive game (e.g. 2009 NFL Wildcard Playoff between the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers, 51-45 final overtime score).

3) Whenever I see a sports injury, particularly a sudden sprained ankle on an athlete or participant, I cringe in pain. I try not to watch replays of how they happened.

4) I enjoy leisurely barefoot walks on the beach and the sound of the waves.

5) I savor drinking hot green tea with honey. A splash of lemon makes it more enjoyable.

6) I used to crack my knuckles when I was younger.

7) I watch the Discovery Channel TV show, "Dirty Jobs."

8) I like to snack on "Hot n' Flamin'" Cheetos, as does my 6-year old nephew when he gets the chance.

9) I enjoy a pedicure and foot massage from my local salon every now and then.

10) I find it very aggravating when I get a migraine headache, especially when it lasts for days. Thankfully, my last one was in September 2009 and hasn't really been a common occurence for me.

11) Seeing a jellyfish exhibit is mesmerizing. Moon jellyfish are especially hypnotic.

12) Tidepooling is cool, even though I've only done it in natural museums.

13) I watch "Ghost Hunters" on SyFy channel.

14) I got hooked on the Fox TV show, "24" (Season 7) after listening to the Kiefer Sutherland November 2009 interview on "Charlie Rose" and subsequently watching the season prequel. I look forward to the upcoming season.

15) I like the smell of honeysuckle.

16) I own the complete five-season series of the TV show, "Ally McBeal." The most easily remembered quip (and philosophy) by character Richard Fish is, "Bygones!"

17) I saw the blue moon (second full moon in a month) on December 31, 2009. It looked close enough in its bigness and brightness that it could almost be plucked out of the sky.

18) I saw a pink-toed tarantula in a glass cage exhibit. Now, that was a spider pedicure!

19) I like the cartoon, "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson and own a few of the book collection.

20) I look forward to going to Crushcakes Cupcakery in Santa Barbara, CA to try their different cupcake offerings.

21) I like the chewy Boba pearls when I get a beverage that includes them. They remind me of sago in my hot taho that I used to get in the Philippines.

22) It amazes me to know about peers who are raising teenagers or who already have adult children of their own (versus stepchildren).

23) I tend to remember my dreams even though they don't make sense.

24) I wonder how I would fair in a hot air balloon flight.

25) When I used to have longer hair (halfway down my back), I experimented with various styles, particularly the French and Dutch braids, by following instructions in a book.
