It's one hundred things you don't know about me!
I have no idea what the rules are for this thing (if any exist), so I'll just make up my own rules.
One hundred things about me. Most of them aren't widely known on LJ. At the time I'm writing this introductory blurb, I'm up to 74 items. Most of them are beyond boring, just informational tidbits, like you'd see in J-14 (Fox's favorite color is green!).
Items 75-100 might be something you'd see in Jane (Fox has had sex!). Well, racier than that perhaps (Fox likes sex!).
Edited to add: I've clearly lost my mind.
1) My favorite color is green.
2) I like my first name. It's not unusual, though it isn't common, and I like it. Thanks Mom!
3) My favorite animal is the cat, big or small.
4) I wanted a tiger when I was little. Still do.
5) I like Jack Russell terriers. I'm not crazy about dogs, but terriers are my favorite breed.

16) I can't draw.
17) I have thick hair, enough for two people.
18) Despite having enough hair on my head for two people, I have very short, extremely, unbelievably fine hair on my legs. I haven't shaved them since I tried it for the first time when I was 14. No need.

21) I had three maternal aunts (one is deceased). I have three paternal aunts and two paternal uncles.

25) I have a monogrammed bubblegum pink bowling ball. I took bowling in phys ed, too.

28) I love Lauryn Hill's "Everything is Everything" video, and the Foo Fighters' video for "Learn to Fly."

44) I believe in a higher force though not necessarily in a supreme deity.
45) I believe that we don't cease to exist when we die.

53) I hate bugs of all kinds with a passion.
54) I think hedgehogs are adorable.

58) I love gel pens.
59) I have a weakness for Dooney and Bourke nubuck tote bags.

66) I love driving barefoot, though I've heard it's illegal.
67) I love Biblical movies at Easter.
68) Celine Dione makes me twitch, and not in a good way. It's more of a dog whistle, blood-curdling way.
69) I have about 50 gel pens in extremely fun colors, and 20 highlighters on my desk, in six containers.
70) I played "Sour Girl" on repeat for two days after buying Stone Temple Pilots' "No. 4". Listened to it eight hours straight one Saturday, while reading Sports Night fic.
71) I've been to a Hercules/Xena convention. No, I did not wear a costume, thanks.
72) At the Xena/Hercules convention, I had a fangirl spazz in the autograph line for Kevin Smith (Ares). There is no way to accurately relay how incredibly gorgeous this man was in person.
73) I love
scot_ty like fresh air and sunshine.
74)
scot_ty and I have spectacular fights once every two months or so.
75) I'm not as stodgy and upright as you think. I'm not a prude, I just play one on LJ.
76) The insane JC lust that I unleash on LJ is only the tip of the iceberg.
77)
scot_ty correctly guessed that Beauty. Queen. is slightly autobiographical.
78) In honor of Britney's shocking admission, I too, am no virgin. Lost it at college, when I was 18. My mother was coming to pick me up for break (Spring? Summer?) the next day, and I was convinced that she'd be able to tell. I planned to tell her on the ride home. THANK GOD my father came to pick me up instead, because I was clearly out of my mind.
79) To quote a section from The Hipster's Guide to Dating: "Keep in mind that homophobia is a big taboo for hipsters. Bisexuality is not necessarily an attribute, but openness to experimentation is something to which all hipsters strive. Most hipster women have had a same-sex hookup. If you're looking for a menage a trois, she'll need reassurance that you are open to experimentation - even if you aren't.
Yes. Three of them. *cough* I'll spare you the kinky details. Yes, there are some pretty kinky details.

If you're looking for a menage a trois, she'll need reassurance that you are open to experimentation - even if you aren't.
Yes. *cough* I'll spare you the really kinky details.
81) I can't believe I just posted #79 and #80 in LJ. Jesus.
82) My mother caught me doing something that I shouldn't have been, and I'd have been less embarrassed if she'd caught me masturbating. I was completely snockered at the time. Yeeks.
83) I rarely drink - I have a fairly low tolerance for alcohol. A half a wine cooler will get me buzzing (cheap date!), and red wine makes me itch.
84) I've done drugs! Except for pot, the others mentioned here were one time deals.
I've smoked up. I did speed once during an all-nighter for Logic (I don't recommend doing a drug for the first time when taking a final the next day). I was still speeding along during the final, heart going a million miles a minute. So not only was I freaked about possibly flunking the final, I was worried about having a heart attack as well. But I passed so it's all good. ;-)
I've done a Quaalude. I've taken a hit of acid. I've snorted coke (yep, I typed "cock" first). That's it. Wait!
I just remembered that I snorted at my sorority formal, too. There's a pic of me in the hotel room with my date (I didn't sleep with him!) holding the mirror we'd removed from the wall, and there are lines on it. As I recall, cops came by our room and asked us to keep the noise down. The mirror with the lines on it was in what I'm sure was plain sight. Oh young and stupid, thy name is foxmonkey.
85) Before I got married, I had a fling with a younger (though legal!) man. His sister was a friend of mine (am I really typing this?). And we might have fooled around in the kitchen once, when she was upstairs. But I'm not sayin'.
86) I've had sex in a car (see #85). Shortly after the deed was done, a squad car pulled into the parking lot. Because of the timing, methinks the officers had spied us earlier and were kind enough to give us time to finish and get dressed before coming over to tell us to move along. I am *so* going to hell.
87) I'm probably going to hell. I might see you there. ;-)
88) I talked my way out of a ticket once.
89) My breasts are larger than should be allowed. When I run I hit myself in the chin.
90) My cousin's husband has a very famous relative. Because of this, I'm six degrees of separation from a staggering number and array of very famous people.
91) I'm related to a millionaire. Not that it's done me any good, mind you.
92) I don't think I've ever used my looks to get something. I don't think so, anyway. Not even #88. Pretty sure not. I think. Not consciously, anyway.
93) I am an outrageous flirt. I love to flirt. *Love* it.
94) I love the art of seduction (see above). Makes my skin all shivery.
95) I looooooooove to kiss. Love, love, love it.
96) I have a favorite position, and it might have something to do with #5.
97) Though I'm flexible, I can't put my ankles behind my head.
98) I don't know my IQ.
99) It's a good thing I've got some sort of restraint because I would've been absolute hell on wheels.
100) Would I leave my husband for JC? Good question. ;-)

Date: 2003-07-12 08:46 am (UTC)Loved both linguistics and stat. Numbers give me the hugest thrill, because I am a dork.
And, I just tried to do #97. Ow, ow, ow. I will never try that again.
98) I don't know my IQ.
I don't know mine, either. I've always thought those things were overrated.
Thanks for sharing, Fox. :)

Thanks for sharing, Fox. :)
