I&#8217;m supposed to divulge 6 (sicks) weird things about myself so that you can glean further insight as to my person and personality and have\u00c2\u00a0further reason to judge me without giving me a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Oooh, But first:<\/p>\n<p>I have been in my pajamas for 4 straight days, playing War of the Monsters on PS2 with my nephew. In between: Grad School applications, work, naps, work, calculating days until I hit the road, work. I&#8217;m stressed as Hell right now, but happy to be with my family. It is the first year in a loooong time that I&#8217;ve been here to celebrate all 7 days of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kwanzaa\" target=\"_blank\">Kwanzaa<\/a> (or as I like to call it: Fun with Candles and Swahili!).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/42088597@N00\/193625432\/in\/set-72157594205027349\/\" target=\"_blank\">nephew<\/a>, he&#8217;s 9 going on 50. He wears, get this&#8230;a plaid robe, old man slippers, glasses, and uses the phrase &#8220;oh but on the contrary&#8221;&#8230;and I caught him watching Judge Matthis on Friday! I will not be surprised when he walks around the corner with a pipe one day. Really, I won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><em>6 Weird Things:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1. I performed in a rap group for a talent show my freshman year of college. Yes, I know how that sounds, but it was hellla fun.<\/p>\n<p>2. I really, really enjoy washing dishes. It relaxes me and I can zone out and think while doing it. I&#8217;ll generally eschew using a dishwasher and do them by hand. I also like to cook, which makes me a great catch for some deserving lovehound out there. BUT, I can&#8217;t stand to dry or empty the diswasher.<\/p>\n<p>3. My favoritest snack in all the world is microwave popcorn and diet Pepsi. Yum!<\/p>\n<p>4. I have known since I was about 10 years old that I didn&#8217;t actually want to HAVE kids.<\/p>\n<p>5. About once a month I pull a work related all-nighter because it is quiet and I can get a lot done. This freaks people out then they get used to it.<\/p>\n<p>6. I am allergic to raw apples. I think its the pesticides, but my throat gets white spots and itches like hell. Cooked apples&#8230;apple sauce, apple strudel, etc&#8230;bring it on.<\/p>\n<p>And I do in fact like bacon more than you think! See you in the 007.<\/p>\n<p>*pic courtesy of elemanotees.com<\/p>\n<p>Countdown to Semester at Sea: 29 days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 First, I hope you all have had festive, merry, restful and wonderful holidays.
