                                        100 Things About Me (51 - 100)

51.   I was a legal secretary for 11 lawyers when I was 20 years old.  I enjoyed
        the job.
52.   My favorite job ever was being a cashier in a fast food restaurant.
53.   I have kept a diary all my life - either a paper one or a blog online.  One day
        I threw out all my paper diaries from the past realizing they would be read
        after my death.
54.   God is my best friend.
55.   I am comforted that He knows me from head to toe without my speaking a  
        word.
56.   I love nature.  I see it as God's art work.
57.   I hate to shop.  It saves me money.
58.   I can put my right leg behind my head.
59.   There is almost no food I don't like.  I can eat almost anything.  If I don't
        like a food, it is usually the texture that bothers me, not the taste.
60.   I can use chopsticks.  I prefer them over a fork and knife.
61.   I don't like meat very much.  I could easily live without it.
62.   I prefer raw foods over cooked.
63.   I love ice cream.
64.   I would be five pounds lighter if I didn't like sweets so much.
65.   I like to color with crayons.
66.   I am a late night person.  I DO NOT do mid-afternoons and early evenings.
67.   I am often a loner.  I can be happy going days not talking to anyone.
68.   I have talked more than one person out of suicide.  I also know a few people
        who have committed suicide.
69.   I started going gray in my early 20's.
70.   I think you should do something nice for someone every day.
71.    I can't swim.  I attribute this to two near-drowning experiences when I was a
        child.  At least I remember them that way in my head.
72.   I love the beach - especially at night.  I love the sounds and smells of the
        ocean.
73.   I can't sing well, but I do it anyway.
74.   I think everyone can use a good therapist.
75.   I love music - all kinds except rap.
76.   I never turn my TV on until the evening time.
77.   I think prayer is the best gift you can give someone.
78.   I have stacks of books I need to read.  I used to read three - five books a
        week.  That was before Gore invented the internet.  LOL
79.   I hate the telephone.  I feel like a captured audience.  It fatigues me.  I think
        this has something to do with fibromyalgia.
80.   Pain and fatigue have taught me to slow down and enjoy life more.  They have
        been blessings in disguise.
81.   I believe the deeper your pain goes the higher your joy can be.
82.   Joy is my favorite word.
83.   "What a Wonderful World" is my favorite song.  I love the lyrics.
84.   I enjoy doing crossword puzzles, word games, and sudokus daily.
85.   I am Irish, German, Hungarian, and Welsh.
86.   I am related to Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keshan) on my mom's side.
87.   For many Halloween's, as a child, I used to dress up as a gypsy, in honor of
        my Hungarian roots.  I felt pretty.
88.   When I was a tiny tot, I used to think that I would slip down the drain of the
        bathtub, so I was too afraid to take a bath.  My sister, Therese, showed me
        that my big toe didn't fit down the drain, therefore I wouldn't fit.  It cured
        me of this fear.
89.   I also remember having a fear of dying of thirst when I was teeny tiny.  I
        needed to have a glass of water before I went to bed.  I had many, many
        fears as a toddler and child.  I wonder if my (undiagnosed) skull malformation
        (and it causing pressure on my brain) caused these fears.
90.   I grew up with four sisters and one brother.  My parents and siblings are all
        still alive.
91.   I have to have a fan going to sleep at night.  I love the sound of it and the
        moving air.
92.   I prefer sitting on the floor over sitting in a chair.
93.   I sleep with at least eight pillows strategically placed around me.  Only one is
        under my head.
94.   I almost never get on the computer at night.  It overstimulates me.  I use it
        at night about four times a year.  I am on it early in the morning daily.
95.   I have a problem with overstimulation and hypervigilence.  It comes with
        having a swollen brain for almost 40 years.  I can only concentrate on an
        activity for an hour or two and then my brain starts to shut down.  If it is the
        evening, it is worse.  I turn all the lights off in my home around 4PM and they
        stay off until the next day.
96.   I have a sign on my door that says, "Only knock between 10AM and 3:30PM".
        Most people ignore it and knock anyway.
97.   My biggest dream is to own my own home someday and decorate the entire
        house myself.  I don't feel grounded knowing I don't own a place where I can
        "grow old and die" at.
98.   My favorite smell is fresh air - that first day when it is warm enough to open
        the windows of your home and let the air move through.  If someone could
        bottle that smell, they would make a fortune.
99.   I want to make my own drum someday.  I will.
100. I have collected all the fabric to make my first quilt.  Next, I would like to
        make a simple pattern and make the quilt.
