25 Things About Me

So I've been facebooked and blogged and I've decided I should do this because it's fun and interesting... if you don't blog, facebook, or myspace email me your 25 list as I'm very interested to learn new things about my friends. I hope you learn something new about me.

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

1. My confirmation name is Mary after my grandmother on my dads side
2. I have a huge facination with maps
3. I own my dream car
4. Cycling is my favorite sport to participate in
5. I think food is a waste of time
6. My biggest pet peeve or as they say in Australia Pet Hate is people who smack, ie chew with their mouth open and make unneccessary eating noises. It's SO GROSS!!!
7. I have NEVER spent any amount of money on a dress in my life and I have been to 5 Hish School dances that required on as well as MANY weddings! I hate dresses... and yes I wore one to those dances. Blah!
8. I can't stand long fingernails so I'm constantly cutting mine... it feels very unhygenic to have long nails.
9.I've never had a manicure or pedicure but am seriously considering it when I return from this adventure. My word farm life is hard on the digets!
10. Among the many dreams I have for my life my #1 is to climb Machu Picchu
11. My #2 secret dream (although now it won't be a secret anymore) is to one day purchase an old stone church and convert it into a house with lots of secret passage ways and many rooms and then evenutally raise a family there. I think the kids would love it.
12. I still miss Joan of Arcadia being on TV. I'm really sad they cancelled it. :(
13. A cow has peed on my head
14. I was the mascot in High School my senior year with 3 other seniors.
15. I am cup hands... this requires an entierly differnt entery to explain
16. I've taken 7 years of spanish and still can't speak the language. I'm such a bad Mexican!!!
17. It utterly freaks me out to have my achilles tendon touched... SO DON'T!!!
18. I kick violently when I'm tickled and hurt people but I can't control my body under such attack so it's not my fault.
19. I am the master at the scissor lock (also known as something else but a bit insensitive to put on a public forum)
20. I don't tell people what I want to name my children because I'm scared they will take the name but that's not the total reason I'm just supersticious that way I guess.
21. Terry Goodkind is my favorite author
22. I am horrible at talking on the phone. I need face to face convo so I can read facial expressions and body language
23. I doodle a lot
24. I have an obsession with hats, backpacks, luggage bags, books and once upon a time pens... I have to use some serious self control to not buy every cool hat, bag, or interesting book I come across. In High School I used to have to go into a store and find a pen to purchase so I'd stop obsessing about them. I guess to feel "normal" I don't know... you can say it... I'm weird. As you can imagine my pen drawer masive!
25. I believe the chicken came before the egg
