Random Experiment

There’s this “random” meme going about Facebook, asking individual’s to list 25 “random” facts about themselves. But I don’t believe that the human brain is capable of true “randomness”–what passes as randomness is merely subconscious or uncommunicated connections.

So instead of giving the typical meme spiel in which I answer the questions and then tag others to answer them as well–I’m going to give you 25 non-random facts about myself that might seem random because I chose to skip a fact or two in the logical progression of my thoughts. Then, at the end, I want to invite you to join in by commenting–giving a fact about yourself that is related to the last fact (about someone else) but is a couple of generations removed.

So here goes…

1. I am a social drinker of coffee–I’d never make myself a cup, but will gladly take a cup when offered it.
2. I think my vanilla (homemade) is almost done–I let Grace use it the other night, at any rate.
3. Christian was a tired little boy at Life Group last night.
4. I’ve worn a baby.
5. I’m not sure I’m green enough–or bold enough–to give DivaCup a try.
6. I *heart* homemade crab-applesauce
7. I’ve never met my next door neighbor.
8. I’m not sure what species of drug “hash” belongs to
9. So there was this guy I had a crush on in Jr. High… It was bad.
10. Once upon a time, I stole a construction cone.
11. There are additives in laundry detergent that make your whites glow under a black light (but not mine–I make my own laundry soap.)
12. I’m allergic to cats.
13. I used to play in a drainage ditch.
14. To me: Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup = Comfort Food
15. Lots of people think me and Anna look like twins–or else they think we don’t look anything alike.
16. I’ve never done a claymation–but I’ve heard it’s fun.
17. I think the beast in Beauty and the Beast is totally hotter than the Prince
18. My first pet, a fish, was named “Apollo Erato”–after the muse of love songs or something like that.
19. I don’t possess a credit card.
20. I have a weakness for the $1 a yard table at Walmart–but they recently upped it to $1.50 a yard–and that doesn’t really appeal.
21. I have a sibling who is employed at McDonalds (once more.)
22. I cringe every time someone finds my website via a Google search for fun essay topics.
23. Clouds are pretty much amazing–they have so much personality.
24. I wouldn’t mind returning to Yellowstone.
25. Speaking of permafrost…The walk between my house and my parents’ has a permafrost-like character.

Now it’s your turn. Take that last comment about me and follow the trail a couple steps down and write your own (apparently) random comment (about yourself) below.
