Randomly random

There is a meme going around Facebook where in you write down 25 random things about you and then tag 25 of your friends with the idea that they will then do the same. Except if you are tagging someone as being part of a note, shouldn’t they be mentioned in the note? That’s what I think.

So as I wrote down 25 things about me, I tried to think of how different friends of mine would tie in with each of them and then tag them. Some of them are very obvious, some of them not so much. Some people probably could fall under more than one, but there was definitely one I had in mind when I wrote them down. A few have figured out which one was them.

I’m putting the list of things here for your random enjoyment. Heidi Aphrodite and Book Guardian are doing their lists on their blogs. Mr. Me did a list too, but his doesn’t count.

1. Some people think my brother and I are identical twins. (just think about that one for a minute)
2. I have a mustache in my linen closet.
3. I wrote about meeting the KSL weather man as my big news in my Christmas letter one year.
4. I still have no idea how slime ended up in my bed once in college.
5. I have taken belly dancing classes and absolutely love it.
6. I have a thing for socks.
7. I went on a road trip all the way from Orem to Salt Lake, stayed in a hotel and everything, to see Rascal Flatts with my friends.
8. In my closet I have outfits that I can use to dress up for a party with just about any theme.
9. You can type my name in at the BYU library and something I wrote comes up.
10. I didn’t take any statistics classes till I started my doctorate. I think I like qualitative better than quantitative research.
11. I served a mission for the LDS church in Curitiba, Brazil.
12. I’ve played a man on stage (and it has nothing to do with the mustache).
13. I’m collecting Harry Potter books in the original British.
14. Even though I’m single and over 30, I haven’t yet figured out how to be old, cynical, desperate, and ugly.
15. I ran the Deseret News Marathon in 2008 to celebrate my 30th birthday.
16. The first time I went to the temple was at the Colonia Juaréz temple.
17. I have the world’s smartest, cutest nephew ever.
18. I had 23 boxes of books when I moved last year, more books than clothes.
19. I loved teaching elementary computers and still miss it some days.
20. I think being a geek is one of the highest compliments I can get.
21. Deserts and cactus are beautiful!
22. I want to learn Latin.
23. I talk about my “drunk slutty nun” days.
24. I’ve been the Oscar Myer Weiner.
25. I converse in hex and binary on occasion.
