I am directionally impaired. If travelling from point A to point B, entails walking along a straight path, I would still get miserably lost.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;2. I once had a chick called Birdie Num Num as a pet. He followed me everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;3. Birdie Num Num died tragically. Following me everywhere proved to be fatal, when my right foot accidently met with his feathery head. I have been in therapy since.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;4. I used to sleep walk as a child.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;5. I don't anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;6. I find puppets, especially the kind that ventriloquists use, to be creepy.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;7. I get partially blind during a migraine. Freaked me out good and proper the first time it happened.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;8. I was placed in an incubator for a while after birth. It took me ages to realise the light bulb was'nt my mom.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;9. I was nicknamed ' Olive Oil' in school for my uncanny resemblance to Popeye's main squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;10. I can raise both my eyebrows alternatively. I call it 'eyebrow aerobics'&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;11. I once swallowed a mosquito during a yawn. I thought I would die a horrible death but fortunately I lived to tell you all about it.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;12. I use two squeezes of toothpaste when brushing, one for each side of my mouth. I'm psychotic I know.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;13. I once sported a haircut which made my head look like a giant mushroom, as a kid. What my mom was thinking I'll never know.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;14. I can't spell words out in my head. I need to write them down first.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;15. I hate crossing rope bridges. I break out into a cold sweat when I have to.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;16. I wanted to be the superhero ' Fire Star' as a child and join Spiderman in saving the world. I still occasionally do.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;17. I break out in weird red spots when I'm exposed to extreme cold. It keeps getting weirder does'nt it?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;18. I have a heart shaped burn on my right hand where I accidently spilled sulfuric acid during biochem lab. I did'nt realise till I smelt burning flesh. That's concentration for you.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;19. I had my first ( and only!) lesbian experience when I was french kissed by my best friend in the sixth grade. Hmm..Mybe I should look her up.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;20. I once played a cow in a school play. Or at least I played half a cow, the rear end. Sigh. Was a gross misuse of my bountiful acting skills.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;21. I need to speak to my mom every day or else I get withdrawal symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;22. I usually doodle when I'm on the phone. It's either a bunch of flowers, or a human eye.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;23. I need to have warm, not cold milk with my cereal.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;24. I had my mouth washed out with soap, when I was twelve for saying the 'f' word. Mom always has a way of getting her point across.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;25. I can hear better in my right ear than my left. So stand on my right, or yell really loud if you're on my left.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;26. I turned 26 yesterday. Yay!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;There's three minutes of your life you're never going to get back...
&lt;/p&gt;
