25 Things

1. I am extremely OCD...about how I eat my candy. To the degree that each candy has it’s own “eating pattern”, Skittles one way, M&M’s another. I also don’t like that many different kinds of candy.

2. I think flannel is better than a boyfriend 98% of the time.

3. I will be deaf when I’m 50 because I don’t wear ear protection when I go to shows or band practice. When that day comes though, I’ll proudly sport some hearing aids.

4. I am not a fan of whip cream but will eat frozen Cool Whip right out of the container by the spoonful.

5. When I am sitting in a restaurant and I see people shove giant grilled cheese sandwiches or bread in their mouth, my resentment level rises a little bit. If you don’t have severe food allergies you wouldn’t understand.

6. Along with the previous note, I am supposed to carry an Epi-Pen with me at all times but it hasn’t left my kitchen cabinet since I got it.

7. I have REALLY weird nicknames for some of my friends. Hungry Hippo? Bananas? These are product of many an insomnia-filled night/coffee-overdose day.

8. If I don’t write at least once a day, even just a couple sentences, I feel like my whole chi gets thrown off.

9. When Keith Urban pops up on my I-pod I usually skip the song. I have a tattoo in his dedication and he is my number one musical influence and still, skip. I only like to listen to him on long road trips because I think his albums are like a story. Plus, his CD’s do him no justice. He is 40 bajillion times better live.

10. I can quote Gilmore Girls, all 7 seasons, word for word. No shame.

11. I am the perfect picture of a Gemini. I live by myself and love my quiet time but I am also extremely outgoing when I am around people. There has to be a balance between the 2 or I get burnt out, and fast.

12. My 2 favorite movies of all time are “Footloose” and “Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory”. I’ve always wanted an 80’s prom with Oompa Loompas. Next 2? “A River Runs Through It” and “Legends of The Fall”.

13. My grandmother wanted me to be a debutante. Me, Mary McCashin, a deb. Hah!

14. Sometimes I seriously wonder how I existed before some people came into my life.

15. I eat a super healthy diet but consume MASSIVE amounts of unsweet tea and coffee. I don’t think the surgeon general would approve.

16. I am a vegetarian and allergic to gluten but when I am sick, I ALWAYS crave a Wendy’s #1 Combo. Never eat it, always crave it.

17. I can never see myself driving anything but a Jeep.

18. Breakfast foods are my favorite foods. Seriously, I love an epic omelet with about half a bottle of Texas Pete.

19. If I talk to someone on the phone chances are they are on speaker phone. I hate holding a phone up to my ear.

20. I’m a very awkward winker.

21. Chewing gum disgusts me. Texture, how people look doing it, etc. Ew.

22. I have never played beer pong and never will.

23. I LOVE brushing and flossing my teeth. I’m certain it’s past of the point of being healthy.

24. My guitar cost me $25 and has a slightly warped next. I will have it until the day I die however.

25. I know the Yale University fight song by heart. No member of my family and no friends of mine have ever attended Yale but, I know it. I often sing it randomly while cleaning my house.
