so there is this thing going around facebook-interweb and the directions are:
write 25 things about you. easy....more instructions are just too much!
read my 25 (slightly alterred from facebook note)
1. i think this is my first non-story post on this blog. for other non-story posts please check out huggingtreeswhenitiscoldoutside.blogspot.com
2. before i moved to canada i thought that the official canadian language was farsi (the official language of iran). i was pretty surprised to see a vast majority of non-iranians
3. i HAVE stapled my finger to a wall
4. when i was a child i really liked multiviatmins, so i planted one outside my house in hopes of growing a vitamin tree
5. i didnt realize my father had an accent until i was 16--and he has a thick english-as-a-third-language accent
6. in a grade 11 physics test, i identified a graph as a palabra (the spanish word for "word") instead of identifying the graph as a parabola (an actual graphical shape) when i got my test back, the word "palabra" was circled with a question mark beside it. oops. confusion
7. that same teacher was the only staff member at my high school who noticed i had a black eye which i received after being in a mosh pit at a concert the night before
8. she also imitated me in a school assembly...imitating manerisms i didnt know i had
9. i have a nose ring which i received in ecuador and was done so poorly that it was pierced 3 times in the span of 2.5 hours
10. for valentines day when i was 15, a friend gave me an eraser that looked like candy. so i ate it. oops
11. when i was learning to snowboard i was so slow that my brother would snowboard quickly to the bottom of the hill and start reading his book. he cant do that now. which is much less insulting
12. i was a mistake. many of us probably are....but my mom once admitted that she actually meant to abort me. she accidentally told me and then told me not to tell anyone. an hour later i told my cousins and my brother and then the entire interweb. after much discussion my mom finally said that she was really happy that i was born because if i werent, my brother would have ended up weirder than he already is
13. i love musicals!! favourite musical: joseph and the amazing technicolour dreamcoat--because there is NO TALKING
14. i know only two people who like old people so much that they would make a point of letting other people know it. they are both from BC and make me want to look at a canadian age demographic distribution chart.
15. know this now: favourite fruits--apples and mangoes,favourite vegetable--any and every kind of onion,favourite dried fruits--kiwis, mangoes, cantaloupe, and pineapples
16. i just started wearing deoderant. if i ever smelled before i am sorry! but you really should have told me!! but you can be more tactful than my brother who will tell me in front of all his friends at the dinner table. he will also make a note of saying it with his outdoor voice
17. when i was in high school i got the highest marks on provincial spanish, english, and chemistry tests. when i told my dad he said "sometimes the donkey hits the bullseye"
18. i truly believe that one of the best inventions in life is the breadmaker. except for the one i bought my parents for christmas because it started smoking the first time we used it
19. the secret ingredient in homemade pasta sauce is cinnamon....that might not be about me but it is totally true
20. i like grammar! i dont know why, but i do. i would correct my mom who would get mad and say "MARYAM, ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE! OR MY SECOND LANGUAGE! OR MY THIRD!" yikes! anger!!
21. i really like flossing. its like a gum massage. im actually getting sedated just thinking about it
22. i went to math camp in grade four. my parents did not send me. i actively asked them to enrol me. math is awesome!!
23. my grade 12 math teacher kicked me out of class for not paying attention
24. i was in a band in high school called "josie and the trucker hats" ...none of us were named josie but we ALL wore trucker hats. featured instruments were the saxofone and the eukelele
25. in the past 10 years i can only recall being addicted to one TV show: So You Think You Can Dance dance dance......
