- My favourite colour is blue. It used to be green, but now it’s blue.
- I have a toe thumb on my right hand, and I am self conscious about it.
- I still own a dress from when I was 15, and I will own it forever, I am pretty sure. The green dress.
- I’d rather have a negitoro roll, tuna sashimi, or a spicy avocado roll, over a spicy tuna roll.
- I hated rap in the 90’s, but I love 90’s rap now. Nostalgia is weird.
- My first kiss was under the stars and that set me up for a lifetime of romanticizing space. I love space so very much.
- I have a condition called Congenital Mirror Movement Disorder. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of holding my hand while I fish around in my pocket with my other hand, you’ll know just how little control I have over it. I am incredibly self conscious about it.
- I’m getting asked for my ID less and less and I’m starting to realize that I am not immune to the physical process of time and that worries me a little bit.
- I don’t know what I am doing with my life, I have no vision for the future. I’m less scared about this than I was five years ago.
- I’m not very good at sewing, it usually involves a lot of swearing, but I enjoy doing it.
- My fight or flight response is incredible. If someone else needs help- I am there in an instant and I do whatever is needed, but if I need help, I call my mom.
- I love to have long bubble baths. The bath cures everything.
- I’ve accepted that I am never going to have a firm stomach and that is okay, and that doesn’t mean that I have to keep it covered up, and I can still like the way I look.
- Thigh gap was first pointed out to me when I was 18 while working on a marketing project in college, and it has fascinated me ever since that anyone would ever care about this.
- I remember the strangest things, like most of my childhood friends’ phone numbers.
- I think 12 year old me would be super impressed by 31 year old me, and maybe a little intimidated.
- I’m not intimidated very easily.
- I have plans to have Ferdinand the Bull tattooed on my body, and part of it will be an homage to my mom, but Ferdinand represents exactly who I am and always have been. Go read The Story of Ferdinand. I’m also a Taurus, so this fits.
- I love perfume and lipstick. I used to love nail polish, but I hardly care about it anymore.
- I like beverage variety. I like going to specialty food stores and buying four or five new drinks to try.
- I love cocktails and alcohol, and once upon a time I was a certified bartender, but I don’t drink a lot or very often anymore.
- I would love to start a personal fashion blog and talk about my clothes, if only to inspire people to wear their clothes a little differently and to take more risks.
- I have a penchant for British period dramas- Mr. Selfridge, Downton Abbey, and Call the Midwife.
- I love a good pun.
- I live by two principles: I do what I want and variety is the spice of life.
- I have very prominent facial expressions and it’s difficult to mask my true feelings.
- I have a tattoo on my forearm which was once accused of being an insult to science. I can laugh about it now, but I was pretty hurt when it was first said.
- I cry when your pets die.
- I love both of my cats very much, but I like the annoying one just a little bit more. We have a lot in common.
- I am strong in my convictions; I stand up for what I believe in and I am unwilling to compromise my values.
- Today I turned 31.
You’re a badass!
This is so great. Happy birthday Ro.
