25 notes of randomness;
i've lost count of the number of tags received.

i hardly think that facebook should be the venue for such things. wouldn't want to friendster-ize it now, would we?

1. i have a morbid fear of flying. 21 years and hundreds of flights, and i am still palpitating long before i board the plane.

2. as a child, i've always had a feeling i would never bear children. i'd either not live long enough to see that day come, or the earth would crumble into dust before it eventually decides to arrive. sad and silly, i know. but i've always felt that way.

what makes it worse is this:

i love, love, love children.

3. my best friend thinks that i should have been born a blonde... for several rather obvious reasons and other less apparent ones.

4. i used to have anger management issues. the great thing about growing old... or old-er rather, is that you have less energy to vent. which brings me to...

5. lara thinks i am too nice.

6. i strongly believe that the worst possible drivers on the face of this earth hail from this great nation.

7. people who know me best tell me that i am an 'old soul', and that i should have been born in a different time.

8. i want to have a career like christiane amanpour's.

9. i'd have gone wrong in so many ways had my mother not been around; she's the string that ties me to the ground.

10. my regular cabbie is a gossip monger and quite a chatter. five minutes into the journey and i am silently cursing myself for not just going on foot. but i trust him with my life. good man.

11. i have a habit of waking up and painting my toenails at 2 in the morning.

12. i like picking my sister up from school. it's one of the last few things i can do for her before she grows up not needing me as much anymore.

13. i have man hands; they have long fingers and green veins that pop out.

14. sometimes i wonder if my parents' usual 'trying-to-be-funny' story of me being switched at birth really is true.

15. i eat rice with a fork. and for the life of me do not understand why people find that amusing.

16. in ten years, i have grown only two inches taller. the turbo button got pushed early.

17. i absolutely hate the fact that i once captained my school basketball team and yet i can hardly dribble now.

18. i look like my parents' sisters morphed into one.

horrible combination.

19. i'd never eat an apple unless i peel the skin in one long strip.

20. sometimes i think i could give adrian monk a run for his money.

21. i had surgery for bilateral squint when i was in kindy; lately i've been noticing that it's starting to make a comeback.
