I often saw surveys like this forwarded via e-mail or shared on Livejournal during the much cooler days of high school. Seeing that my blog is basically a glorified Livejournal, it isn’t a stretch for me to post the 11 Things survey going around. I’m carrying the torch forward in the name of Elizabeth at On Tap For Today (check out her hilarious responses here!)
Here are mine.
RULES
1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
3. Answer the questions the person who tagged you set for you in their post.
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them you’ve tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about you are tagged if you are reading this. You legitimately have to tag 11 people.
Eleven Random Things About Me:
1. I am an excellent spell checker.
2. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be grapes.
3. I once broke my foot getting out of bed.
4. I never shut the door in the bathroom at night before turning on the light, for fear of summoning Bloody Mary.
5. I used to watch the movie When Harry met Sally every day when I got home from school.
6. Every morning, I eat enough oatmeal to feed a family of four.
7. I started out in college as an Architecture major, then ditched it when I realized I would never get a (paying) job.
8. My first flight on a plane was when I was 23 years old.
9. It is hard for me to sleep without my hair in a ponytail.
10. Every time I take a bath, I think of Chandler Bing.
11. I love gazing at the stars, but have never seen the Milky Way.
Elizabeth’s Questions:
1. If you could pick your theme song, what would it be?
Mushaboom by Feist
2. What is your favorite local restaurant?
Andalu’s cafe has yet to let us down, they have amazing pita bread.
3. What day of the week were you born?
Friday
4. Tea or coffee?
Never coffee, always green tea.
5. Pants or skirts?
Totally depends on the weather (re: New Englander.)
6. Where would you go on your ideal vacation?
Singapore looks dope.
7. What’s your favorite day of the week?
Saturday and I don’t mind Tuesday
8. Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Middle of the day crow.
9. What is your favorite sport to watch?
Basketball, because I’m still learning football.
10. Do you have a secret talent?
Besides spell checking, I can pop my gum very loudly. Neither of these are “secret” or “talents” though. So, no.
11. What is your go-to workout song?
I Gotta Feeling (I know, so 2009.)

P.S. Because of this survey, I asked my mom for pictures from high school that were saved on the computer at home. She has since mailed hundreds of photos, and I am both embarassed and relieved. When the time is right, you’ll see the photos.
