wook77It's been probably about a year since I did this meme so I thought I'd do it again.
The "Getting To Know The Flist Random Things Meme"
Under the cut - 10 Random Things about me. Feel free to comment with a random factoid about you!
1.) I prefer temperatures over 100 than under 70. My favorite optimum temperature for my house is 80-83 degrees to sleep and, even then, I sleep under two heavy winter blankets.
2.) Speaking of sleeping, I absolutely HATE sleeping under sheets. I feel tangled and awful. I loathe them. So I only ever use the bottom sheet.
3.) I was a nun initiate. A pair of leopard print mules kept me from completing my vows.
4.) I am an astronomy nerd. I worked on the Mars Pathfinder/Sojouner mission while in college. I cataloged photographs and basically geeked out in the Mars Garden at the Jet Propulsion Lab at University of Arizona. I also wrote educational planetarium shows while in college. My first job was in a planetarium at the age of 13.
5.) I appeared in the JCPenney's catalog as a model. All through high school, I modeled at local malls and fashion shows and stuff.
6.) I drink at least a two litre of Diet Coke a day.
7.) I have a major embarrassment squick. I cannot watch movies like There's Something About Mary because it's obvious, just from the preview, that someone's being laughed at. I can't do it. When people are embarrassing themselves, especially as a plot device, I get sick to my stomach and dizzy.
8.) When I was 19, I spent 4 hours in a catatonic state because a swarm of ants came up my arm from a sugar container. I am for really realz phobic about bugs. It took years of therapy to get to the point where I'm no longer going to pass out and, instead, want to kill the vast majority of them. However, large bugs still make me lightheaded and I have been known to pass out.
9.) Suddenly on a roll of things that make me dizzy/pass out - I cannot stand the sight of blood, especially my own or a loved one's. When my dog had knee surgery many years ago, I went to visit him and he had blood on his knee. I passed out and woke up on a metal dog exam table. When I cut my finger slightly while at a framing shop, I passed out, fell off a high stool and gave myself a mild concussion just because my blood was oozing out of my finger.
10.) I had a friend that, for years, I could not remember her name. I am just that bad with names. I constantly call people by the wrong name. I'm seriously rubbish at it.
What about you? What's an interesting factoid?

Neil DeGrasse Tyson on twitter. His twitter is AMAZING. So many wonderful random tweets. He's a fantastic man and a brilliant astrophysicist.
