1. i scored 1250 on my SATs. yeah, that’s true. and to those of you who said i probably scored higher, thanks for kissing up with such rigor.
2. i prefer Swingline staplers to all other staplers. 100% true. there is simply no comparison. if i pick up a Swingline, i know for a fact that stapler is going to perform its function without any wonky staple problems, no half-stapled papers. and if something goes wrong, it is definitely my fault, because Swinglines can do no wrong. and that’s the way i feel about that. oh, and don’t get me started on Bostitch. wretched staplers they are.
3. I own the Barbershop DVD. that’s true. that movie is funny, and i have a secret crush on Ice Cube. and i don’t have to worry that Frank will see that statement, because he just scans anyway. :-D
4. I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue. this statement is absolutely false. and i think that people who claim they actually can perform this impossible trick are lying through their cherry-stem-tying teeth! except maybe IowaSoccerMom, because she’s my blogdaughter and we ate at Chipotle together. oh how i miss Chipotle.
5. i once had a dog named Poo-Poo. this is true. it was a little black dog, and all i remember is that his name was Poo-Poo, that we went to Fort Worth one weekend (this was when i lived in Coahoma), and when we came back Poo-Poo was dead from ticks or something. Bikermommy says that the dog’s name was Clarence and that my Uncle Kyle named him Poo-Poo. sounds like Uncle Kyle.
6. I sometimes drink a glass of pickle juice. true. now, when i was growing up, i used to just drink pickle juice out of the jar, because it’s gooooood. but now i know that acid reflux has something to do with your tum-tum not having enough acid, and you’re supposed to take a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar or something to help with that. and that really works. but see, i don’t have that at Frank’s house, it’s in storage. besides, pickle juice tastes better anyway. so i take that as an excuse to have myself a nice green glass of pickle juice, which has vinegar in it. not only does it work, it tastes gooooood to boot! yay Vlasic!
7. I stress-fractured my shinbone by running too much. yes, that happened March of 2003, when Sa and i were taking a running class thingy on Saturday mornings to learn how to run 10Ks and stuff. i’ve never been a regular runner since. i miss it.
8. The antenna ball on my car is a black cat from Halloween. oh yeah. when i lived in Amarillo, Bikermommy would come over to my house and put decorations on my door or in my yard or on my car, and then she’d get mad at me in December when my scarecrow was still in the yard. “fall is over, Sarah! you can’t have a scarecrow in your yard at Christmastime!” so she put this black cat antenna ball on my car, and it’s still there.
9. I peed my pants at a Dave Matthews Band concert. it wasn’t my fault! they’d already played “Crush” and “Don’t Burn the Pig” and then they threw “Ants Marching” at me! before i could stop myself, i was jumping up and down and screaming and oops! peed a little! thankfully i realized what i was doing and stopped. i didn’t tell Amelia until after the train ride back to the car, and she laughed her butt off with me.
10. I prefer my pizza without cheese. true. i’ll eat it with cheese, but i sure prefer it without those grease pits that come from melting fat all over the pizza. i also don’t like meat on my pizza, especially pepperoni. the thought of a pepperoni and cheese pizza makes me want to barf right now. my favorite pizza, for the record, is the thin artipeggio pizza from Uno’s, with no cheese, and dipped lovingly in their red wine vinaigrette dressing. salivating just thinking about it.
and that’s that.
