20 things you may not know
Well, this meme is really just an excuse to talk about ones self, but I'm also bored and should probably take a break from reading Naruto fic (six hours straight is not healthy).
1. My favourite animal is the alligator.
2. All the rest of my favourite animals are turtles and snakes. Fuzzy things are fun, but give me a snake or a frog any day. Yes, this includes badgers.
3. For some reason, even though I tried teaching myself Greek on a whim in middle school, I can still remember and read the Greek alphabet quite easily, yet remember none of the grammar.
4. One of my early memories of kindergarden is sitting at a table reading a book while everyone else around me learnt to read.
5. Another memory is complaining to my parents that we never learnt anything interesting, and really, what did making a toilet paper roll model of a ship have to do with Columbus?
6. I was actually kept back in kindergarden. I attended all my classes in the first grade room, but they kept me back with the kindergardeners due to a "lack of emotional maturity". In reality, I was just small for my age, looked even younger, and the faculty were idiots.
7. Starting near the end of middle school, I made it my goal to read a book a day, and kept track of it on a giant chart. Only made it past 365 twice, but was always over 330 by the end of the year. Had to stop when I went to uni.
8. Artichokes - boiled, with the leaves and heart dipped in butter and lemon juice - are my favourite vegetables in the world.
9. I will go out of my way to eat a home grown tomato sliced with a bit of salt on it.
10. If I'm on my own, and even with others, I will most likely buy the cheapest and easiest food available due to a hard-grained rule of my mother's of not wasting money on food.
11. I've only trained in about ten different weapons in my life, but since I've been trained in a school where everything can be considered a weapon, that really doesn't make a difference.
12. I am never more stubborn than when being accused of something I didn't do, and I am never more hurt then when I'm being accused of lying for selfish reasons.
13. When I was three, I always told people I wanted to be a paleontologist, and could explain what the word meant, even if I couldn't pronounce it.
14. By the time I'd graduated high school, I'd lived in seven different houses with all the packing and moving that goes with that.
15. One of my favourite things in the world is to be outside and truly alone.
16. Contrary to rumours of an armoury, I only own four swords and about ten knives (can't remember the actual number).
17. Pets I've had in my life include 2 cats, 2 dogs, 4 turtles, 2 snakes, countless tadpoles, and 1 newt.
18. I rue the day when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
havenward introduced me to Chex Mix: Bold Party Mix because I'm addicted to the damn stuff now.
19. Nothing impresses me more than to be able to read a book/watch a movie/show and not guess the ending. This explains why I'm rarely impressed.
20. I was trying to figure out why I don't like the Discworld Witch novels that much the other day, when I realized that it was because Granny Weatherwax and I would try to kill each other if we ever met...
