Kelley’s 25 Things About Me, Posted on Facebook
The newest thing on Facebook is posting a list of 25 things about yourself. They can be anything: habits, shortcomings, interesting things, whatever. Then you tag people and they are supposed to do the same thing and tag you back.
I thought it would be difficult to come up with 25 things, but now I’ve posted it, I keep thinking of other things I could have included. Maybe I’ll have to be an overachiever and post another 25 things. If I can remember them all by the time I get around to doing it.
1) My new favorite song is Just Dance by Lady Gaga. It makes me happy to hear it and I always want to shake my groove thing when it’s on. It reminds me of the 80s dance music I loved when I was kid.
2) I was born in England, and I’ve always felt my heart is still there.
3) Over the past five years, I’ve paid off nearly $32,500 in credit card debt. I’m incredibly proud of it, although I know it was my fault I had to pay it off in the first place.
4) My perfectly manicured fingers usually smell like garlic.
5) I love the sound of breaking glass. No, I don’t go around smashing things just to hear it.
6) I can usually think of a movie quote for any occasion, and approximately 50 percent of the responses I give in conversation are either direct quotes or paraphrases. I really hate it when people try to test me or demand a quote on the spot.
7) Shockingly, I hate the Kelly song from Cheers. Yes, I’ve heard it before. No, it’s not funny. Really, not ever.
8) I’m famous for my sarcasm and biting wit.
9) I pride myself on being able to make people laugh.
10) I’m always surprised when people remember who I am. I guess I’ve never considered myself memorable.
11) I’ve learned it’s true that some things aren’t meant to last, and that the world doesn’t end when they do. In most cases, the ending is for the best.
12) I recently bought a juicer and I absolutely love it.
13) At the NHL Entry Draft in Nashville in 2003, I talked the Stanley Cup Minder Guys into taking the Stanley Cup out of its case and giving me a private audience. I have photographic evidence.
14) I haven’t slept well in about four years, at least during the week. I can usually make up for it on the weekends, but for some reason, I don’t fall asleep easily without medicated assistance.
15) I absolutely love the work I do, but I really want to do it somewhere else.
16) I really want to be married. I don’t care about a wedding. I want a strong marriage.
17) I overuse adverbs. I think it’s to compensate for the rest of the world abandoning them (“I’m real hungry” instead of “I’m really hungry. That drives me batty.).
18) A friend of mine calls me the Countess of Correction because I’m exacting about language usage. It’s kind of my job, so I don’t know what he expects. And spellcheck wouldn’t kill him.
19) There are certain movies I will always watch if they are on. The Last of the Mohicans seems to be on more than the others, but they include Tombstone, The Breakfast Club and various others I won’t admit to in public.
20) I have a list of Kelley’s Rules for Life. I am constantly adding to them. Number one is “Know your limits.” The newest one is “There’s always an asshole. Make sure it’s not you.”
21) I write down funny things my friends and I say and post them on my Web site. Since I started, the Quotes pages have been the most popular. I no longer get “update your blog” emails, I get “update the quotes pages” emails. (www.ministeroffabulousness.net)
22) I’m still incredibly proud that I learned how to be a make-up artist, and made a living at it for a significant chunk of my working life. I loved the make-up, but I hated the retail, so I had to get out of it.
23) I’ve done a lot of growing up over the past five years, which seems to have resulted me acting a bit more immature. But in a good way.
24) I have a wide array of friends and I’m proud that we can love each other even with our vast differences in beliefs. It keeps me open to new things.
25) I’ve been doing power yoga regularly since August and it’s taught me that I am the perfect me I need to be today.
