More Moo to Love

There's this thing going around on Facebook, 25 Random Things About Me, that everyone is doing. I've already done it too, and I won't bore you (all 4 of you, hee hee) with a rehash of what I've already written, but I've thought of more interesting Moo facts. So here they are.

1. I've never broken a bone. This one came to mind because a former coworker of mine just fell down a flight of stairs and broke her leg in 2 places. She pretty much broke her foot clean off her ankle. I mean, it's still there, held together by tendons and skin, but yikes.

2. Speaking of injuries, I had 2 black eyes within a 6 month period in 2008.

• The first happened at N's nephew's 6th birthday party in June. I've never missed one of Little C's birthdays. I've known him since he was born. In fact, I quite love that according to Little C, I'm just part of the family. Anyway, all the kids ran off to beat the pinata (I know that "n" in pinata needs a little thingy on it and I don't know how to do it.) and N, her brother G, and I decided it would be fun to go jump in the bouncy house. We're jumping, having a great time, when G, the big ole queen that he is decides it would be fun to do back flips. And it was fun. Until he kicked me in the face. Hence black eye number 1.
• The second black eye was entirely my own fault. My friend T and I (sometimes we call him Black Girl) were at a club in Gay Town. We had a couple of drinks and decided we'd like to go to another bar. We're walking out the door, I'm strutting really, when all of a sudden it hit me... the door that is. Or rather, I hit it. I walked right into a freaking glass door. In front of a whole line of people. I am an idiot. I ended up with a knot the size of a golf ball on my forehead, a concussion, and within a few days black eye number 2.

3. I have a really good sense of direction. Uncannily good. I used to travel a lot for work, often times to cities I'd never been to before. Generally, I rented a car that had GPS, but they weren't always available. I don't think I ever got lost! But, this also kind of makes me like a man, in that I'm usually pretty hesitant to stop and ask for directions.

4. I work for the best company ever. N knows this. We're super busy right now (I'm on my lunch, not writing on company time.) and the other day one of the owners of the company, whom I just love, came in with a case of Sugar Free Red Bull just for me!

5. I have a rock-n-roll crush on Dave Grohl. I really don't know why. He's not super hot, I just love him. After Kurt Cobain died, who ever thought Dave Grohl would be the one to make it big? Weird.

6. I also have a huge rock-n-roll crush on David Bowie. Yum. Always have. Since I was like 10 and the video for Let's Dance came out. While we're at it, I also used to love Bryan Ferry. I think I might have a thing for British musicians.

7. Keith Richards is my favorite Rolling Stone. I know, who has a favorite Rolling Stone? Well, I do. There is just something endearing about him to me. What? I'm weird.

8. I totally Facebook and Google stalk ex-boyfriends and people from high school. I have found out that my high school boyfriend, another M, is a married mortgage broker living just a few miles north of here. Don't know why I needed to know that, but I did. Thank you, Google.

9. One time, my mother asked me, in a restaurant no less, how the sex was with a guy I was dating. I was mortified. Literally mortified. I must've turned twelve shades of red. Gross.

10. I have never, knock-wood, gotten a speeding ticket or been in a car accident. It's not that I don't speed, I'm just lucky enough to have never been caught. I'm so tempting the car gods by writing this down. You may not want to get in a car with me for a while.

11. I am just superstitious enough to have seriously considered deleting number 10 and ending this post at 9. Seriously. I'm consumed now with fear that I am going to get a ticket this weekend, or worse yet have an accident. Don't worry, I'll be careful.
