Seeing as I have a touch of the old ADHD and it's taken me forever to get this far, you're stuck with only 40 things about yours truly, Pagalina. Tell me something embarrassing about yourself, please? Pretty please? With sugar on top? I crave your attention.

1. I am missing the tip of one finger.
2. I lisped as a child.
3. I can touch my nose with my tongue.
4. When preparing a frozen pizza I try to keep the box right side up as I extract the pizza. This is some form of superstition as I believe it will keep the toppings in place. I’m sure this is how the pizza has been handled from factory to freezer.
5. I can make an awesome margarita.
6. I made my own dresses for two different high school proms.
7. An unfortunate nickname of mine in 7th grade was Miss America. It was NOT a compliment
8. I sucked my thumb until 6th grade.
9. I’m a Graphic Designer.
10. I used to play snare drum in respectively: a fife and drum corp, marching band and two different bag pipe bands.
11. I was a girl scout for 7 years.
12. I was in church choir and worked at a church camp. The religion didn’t seem to stick but I enjoyed all the singing!
13. I really wish that everyone liked me, then it would make everything so much easier. I wouldn’t have to work so darn hard! But you know? The older I get, the less I care! Wheee!
14. Like everyone else, I dream of being independently wealthy
15. Sometimes I may be looking at the TV but this does NOT mean I’m paying any attention to it. Richard will comment on something that just happened on the tube and I’ll be totally clueless as my mind had wandered off on it’s own.
16. Seldom do a song’s lyrics penetrate my consciousness. Back when I used to buy CDs I’d read the lyrics as I listened for the first time, I’d really concentrate on them the first time through. Don’t know why I stopped that. I’ll blame the internet.
17. I can’t stand metal on metal sounds. Or people loudly biting on their forks. Or chewing aluminum foil.
18. I hate listening to someone peppering their speech with the laziest of words “like”. I have a coworker that sounds like a teenager. The most frustrating part is that it’s like a virulent virus and so very easy to pick up. I hate it even worse when I’m the one saying it.
19. I love singing although I’m not very good at it.
20. I hate squeaky tennis shoes on shiny mall floors.
21. I used to teach aerobics.
22. my standards have slipped.
23. I really like pink cake.
24. and pie. Fruit pie. Mmm pie!
25. I read a lot. Some literature but a whole lot of trash involving vampires, werewolves and witches.
26. I’m obsessed with conjoined twins and transgendered people
27. I prefer the word “underpants” it’s just funnier. “Panties” makes me think of panting. Seems inappropriate.
28. I’m kind of a geek. I love technology. Except for cell phones. I just don’t use mine much. Maybe it’s my total lack of friends. (I exaggerate, of course!)
29. My mom was born with an extra finger on each hand. I can’t tell you how disappointed that neither myself or my daughter were born that way. Seems like it would have made up for my missing one.
30. I love love love micro brew!
31. I like stacking or folding things. Maybe it’s a byproduct of my career in design, but a mess seems less messy if it’s divided into nice little stacks. And it is my personal challenge to fold a fitted bed sheet as tidily and squarely as possible, despite this being totally impossible to do.
32. I’m a huge music fan. I no longer go to live shows much. I was always a pansy about staying late any ways and now it’s just sort of impossible. Pre-child I could stay up late and then sleep really late. Sleeping late? Not gonna captain! But still I love searching out and sharing new music!
33. Other nicknames have included Pog, Pag, Pagalina.
34. My husband doesn’t think I have an inner monologue as most of my errant thoughts are spoken outloud.
35. Our two cats used to be my beloved pets, but now they’re just mooches who sleep on my couch and yell at me for food.
36. I have a collection of dash board hula girls.
37. I don’t wear high heels, I’d kill myself.
38. I love sugar cookies and other plain delights! Shortbread!
39. I’m an inveterate multi-tasker, making coffee, rinsing out a cup and emptying the dish-washer, simultaneously.
40. I wanted this list to go to 100, but you’re either really out of luck or really lucky. :)
