Five facts about myself:

1. Once, at work, I brought a lunch consisting of a banana, a PBJ sandwich, and some chips or something. I ended up going out to lunch that day so my lunch sat in my desk drawer... for two months. I was so entranced with the mold growth I kept it in my glove box for a while after that, until it was discovered and thrown into the parking lot of Arby's. Who remembers that?

2. Right now I am driving a car that seems to use a quarter of a tank of gas on a turn. Seriously. I turn a corner, and the needle goes from half a tank to a quarter, and then right back up. So ghetto. I want my car back.

3. I despise having nuts in my desserts. Candy does not count. Candy is a snack, not a dessert.

4. I secretly enjoy staring down little kids in public places who are doing something they shouldn't be doing when their parents aren't watching them.

5. I cut my head at work on Sunday and I have no idea how. I don't even remember ever hitting my head.
