50 Odd/Random Things

Tip of the New Year Dunce Cap (don't those party hats make us all look like we should be sitting in the corner saying "But I don't know how to sing the songs..."?) to Val Hoback, who inspired this with a Facebook post.

50 ODD Things about you (more random than odd)

1. Favorite object in your room? Which room? Seriously, my Apple G4 ranks pretty high in one room... though my nearly complete Heroscape collection (where are you, Agent Skahen?!) is high up the list in another room.
2. Have you ever smoked heroin? Nope.
3. Do you own a gun? Nada.
4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? Coconut... maybe cherry.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? It depends... am I going to be lectured about my cholesterol?

7. What song are you listening to? Shari's listening to something on her iPod, but can't actually here what it is... earlier, I listened to Hokus Pick's "I'm So Happy" while I worked out.
8. Drink in the morning? Coke Zero, thanks.
9. Any plans tonight? Finish watching "Kit Kitteridge: An American Girl" with Shari & Braeden.

14. What color is your couch? Light tan with slashes of other earthy colors.
15. What's one thing that you hate about yourself? My tendency to procrastinate about important things... maybe I'm afraid of screwing up & so don't do anything. Whatever - it's stupid & not helpful.
16. Middle name? Allen.
17. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment? 1. My shoulder hurts. 2. I have to take down the Christmas decorations, but I think there's some football on in a little bit, which should mitigate the pain. 3. I love my beautiful wife.
