72 Tings About Merdypops, Mahn

I'm completely ripping off Muireann's idea for her post a while back. I found her entry very entertaining, and thought it's a good way to have my fellow readers learn something interesting about me.

So Muireann (pronouced Mirren), thanks for the idea.

I have made a list of 72 items because that was the year that I was born. Don't tell anyone :)

1. My television is 14 yrs old and my stereo is 15 years old. I feel no need to replace them.
2. When I see someone litter, it’s a relationship/friendship deal breaker.
3. My sense of smell is magnified about 100 times that of a normal person.
4. I have a toilet phobia.
5. I can juggle and make my tongue look like a bum.
6. When I was in my twenties I thought I would make a good go-go dancer.
7. The first time I got drunk was when I was in university, at 19yrs old.
8. My favourite drinks are Diet Coke, beer, gin and 7-Up, Long Island iced tea and whisky sours
9. I want to settle in Vancouver one day.
10. I’ve never been in love, nor do I believe that it exists past 10 years (addition - I don't think I could be in love for more than 10 yrs, not that anyone else isn't currently in love after 10 years).
11. I’m not mentally equipped to have children of my own.
12. I find men sexy when they have freckles everywhere and dark hair (think Jason Bateman).
13. I think Babs has the most beautiful voice in the world, and I think Freddie Mercury and Nancy Wilson have the most unique voices in the history of music.

15. I need an immense amount of time alone.
16. I am an above average driver, although I don’t own a car anymore.
17. I love to go to the CNE each year at night, when you can hear the roar and lights of the midway
18. I think funnel cakes are the best food invention in the world (especially the ones from Wonderland where they add soft ice-cream).
19. I managed the Calgary Rowing Club for 2 years, but disliked rowing.
20. I have a pay-as-you-go cell phone because I resent technology/people calling me when I am not home.
21. I’ve never punched anyone, but have always wanted to.
22. I think nice teeth are so important, yet every guy I have dated has had crooked teeth.

33. I detest cooking, yet the group home kids thought I was one of the best cooks on staff.
34. I have bitten my nails since I was a kid but you will rarely witness me biting them. Furthermore, I judge those that bite their nails as I find it to be a disgusting habit.
35. Same goes for being fat. Although I am fat, I judge people when they are as fat or fatter than me, but don’t carry themselves well.

47. I think the best decade so far has been the 80s.
48. I tend to be the person that people tell their innermost secrets to.
49. Hair that is not attached to a human body makes me gag. Hair in drains, hair balls on rugs, you name it. My hair is not exempt from this rule. All gross.
