Alright, I'm caving and jumping in on Katie's "RFF" as I continue to scrounge up content around here...
- Speaking of Katie, I can't frigging wait for a whole lot of this come next weekend!!!
- If there's a bag of Pop Secret Homestyle Popcorn in the house I will choose it over anything else for dinner.
- My second toe is ever so slightly longer than the rest.
- So obviously feet gross me out. Please do not touch mine or put yours anywhere near me.
- I have a bruise-like birth mark on my hip that I'm incredibly self conscious about.
- My ring finger is deformed from pressing the pencil on it too hard as a child. Try as they might to rid me of my left-handedness my teachers failed and now I'm deformed from my stubborn resistance.
- I cannot bring myself to drink the milk left over after I eat cereal.
- I go through at least 14 pairs of underwear a week, if not more. This is because I change it after working out and before I go to bed. Spike thinks this is ridiculous.
- I don't actively wash my feet unless I know they are dirty. It never occurs to me otherwise.
- I used to be scared of the colors pink, red, and orange because I thought they looked terrible with my hair/skin. Clearly things have changed, except my hatred for orange. Go figure, orange is Spike's favorite color.
Clearly Pink is not a problem anymore. - Not a single day goes by that I don't miss Florida.
- No matter how hard I try I can't break the habit of slouching.
- I love to purge things just as much as I like to keep random sentimental things.
- I do not have a relationship with my mother. My life is better because of it, but I still feel guilty when people who have lost their mother's learn this fact about me.
- I have one of the worst cases of Catholic guilt there is. I feel guilty about everything.
- As important as I know politics are and affect my life, I still have no patience for them.
- I hardly, if ever, listen to the radio, watch TV, or read the newspaper. Ignorance is bliss! (This bodes well for Spike and his Sportscenter addiction as the only time I've ever taken over the TV since moving in with him was the last few weeks for SYTYCD)
- If unsupervised I would wash and dry everything regardless of handling instructions, but always on the delicate cycle.
- If I know there is someone coming over to my house I obsessively clean everything as if I were being judged.
- I'm fairly certain I pee more than the average person. I'm screwed when I'm pregnant and/or old as I can't even make it through the night without getting up to pee multiple times and this is even after I limited my liquid intake after a certain hour.
Leak-a-litis Syndrome is what they called it during Ragnar - My closet is color coded and then arranged tank tops to long sleeves, but my shoes are strewn about on the floor without any rhyme or reason.
- I know it's called "Random Friday Facts" but I want to call it "Random Facts Friday"
- At some point every single day I have to remind myself that this (my current injured state) will not last forever. Every. Single. Day.
- Try as I might to end the list with the previous fact, I couldn't handle ending on an odd number. I hate odd numbers.
- But I am randomly ok with multiples of 5.

- If you washed your feet maybe you wouldn't hate feet so much?
- Your second toe must be longer due to a build up of FILTH AND MUCK.
- What Spike is trying to tell you is that commando is sexy.
- Why you gotta hate on odd numbers? For YEARS I NEVER used even numbers nor numbers evenly divisible by 5 on a microwave because I felt it wasn't fair to numbers like 17 that 15 and 20 got so much love.
yay for lefties!
I once had a PT tell me I had question mark posture. I'm a sloucher for life.
I too change my underwear a billion times a week.
Did you know that in landscaping odd is more visually appealing than even? How is that for a fun fact?
I have a small bag of homestyle popcorn in my lunchbox for my afternoon snack. Its a good way to end the hectic day. All its buttery goodness...but not too buttery.
I am also grossed out by feet. And I do no like mine to be touched either. My friends can not understand why I don't want to go for a pedi with them. The thought of a stranger cutting my toe nails....yuck. I am with you on the feet thing.
I always want to call it random facts friday as well.
I'm also don't always wash my feet unless I know they are dirty... probably very gross but I always forget!
And I completely agree with politics, which is crazy since I work in DC.
I hate feet. Hate. Hatehatehate. It's especially funny when you stop and think about how much my job revolves around them, but I make it work.
There were just so many things on this list that made me think, "whoa--me, too!!" :) So, if those things are weird, then at least we're weird together.
Ok I look at other peoples feet, some are pretty some are downright scary!!!!!! I don't have a relationship with my mom either..My mother in law always made my girls take off their underwear before bed?
#7 - Ditto. Left over cereal milk is disgusting
#8 - I think you and Katie need to come to some sort of middle ground on this one.
#15 - The only thing worse than Catholic guilt is Irish Catholic guilt... good thing you aren't Irish... oh wait...
I slouch...I hate that I do it.
Cereal milk is icky.
i thought i was the only person in the universe with a deformed ring finger from writing left handed! SAMESIES. :)
yeah, we're basically the same. it's a little spooky.
Aw, this is fun! I also have the crazy guilt and I'm not even Catholic.
PopSecret Homestyle popcorn ruined all other popcorn for life. It's clearly the best.
Hmmmmm, slouching. I'm slouching right now and I LOVE it. Ahhhhhhhhhh
I hate the odd numbers but other then that and the running we are total opposites!
Window story makes me cry joyful tears, but this:
I cannot bring myself to drink the milk left over after I eat cereal.
Makes me wince in pain. That is the best part. C'mon red try it again and see if you like it. Maybe its the cereal you were using?
#3 must be a redhead thing. ;)
As for the milk in the cereal bowl. Same here! It looks all icky without the cereal in it... ;)
6. I can't believe your teachers damaged your finger by attempting to rid you of your left-handedness! That happened to my grandma in the 30s but the 80s?? Nuts!
8. I hope you enjoy laundry!
9. I don't actively wash my feet either unless dirty- am I supposed to?
12. Made me sit up tall at my desk! Have this problem too.
14. Sorry to hear this but I am sure you have your reasons.
15. I am trying very hard to overcome this guilt- it has taken me awhile but I am close.
19. Me too!! Maybe it's because I often judge other peoples houses? So bad.
24. Agreed. Odd numbers annoy me. I hate that my baby's due date is an odd number. I almost want to lie and change it to an even number!
25. Are you my twin? Multiples of 5 are a-ok with me too!
I <3 your list!!! I think it's because I am the same about all of these: 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 16, 21, 22, 24 and 25. No seriously, I agree with all 10 of them, which also happens to be an even number and multiple of 5! Ha!!
I knew we were meant to be friend.
Leftover milk - not drinkin' it. No washing the feet unless they need it. Slouching - doing it right now. Guilt is my middle name. Ditto on the politics. Ignorance IS bliss. My house is spotless. Had company last night. You just described my closet.
Bean's favorite color is orange. No idea why. Just is.
I knew I loved you. Have a great weekend.

LOL, I think about Florida a lot too and I'm from Michigan! You're only 16 inches away from your feet unlike me............
We have twin closets...why is it so hard to organize shoes yet it's easy peasy to organize clothes? And cereal milk is disgusting, I throw it out. my MIL about has a heart attack!
Have a great weekend with your friends! :)
Homestyle popcorn FTW!
...and just remember, us lefties do it right:)
25 is practically an even number anyway because it becomes 50.
i organize my closet similarly! and then my pants/shorts are shoved on a shelf. my shoes are strewn about the foyer, occasionally they are put away into the 'shoe condo' (as i call it) but that is rare.
i will invent diapers for pregnant women so you will be able to just pee yourself every 5 minutes.
as for slouching - i am trying to work on my posture too. what's your favorite color? everytime you see it, focus on your posture/pop your shoulders back/etc. that's what i do... when i'm being good and remembering.
you probably don't have any patience for politics because the politicians are too busy being dem vs. rep instead of finding a middle ground that might actually make this country run efficiently...
why are you going to nyc? i'll be there next weekend too, yankees game.
I must say that i have to end on an even number unless in multiples of 5 too! :) FUNNY :) I seriously miss you girl! TEXT ME!
I love this! And you are hysterical with the last two. Learning fun quirky facts about people is AWESOME.
I'm with you on undies - I LOVE wearing fresh ones. If I take them off for any reason, I need a new pair.
I can also relate to not having a relationship with your Mom... I don't have one with my Dad anymore (his doing, not mine - he left) and it breaks my heart when I hear of people losing a parent to natural causes. It just seems like such a waste...
Lefties ROCK!
I also don't have a relationship with my mother too and I am okay with it. (Long story!)
Ha, loved this first edition! Apparently you and Katie both have an affinity for multiples of 5 ;)
I saw a friend's house this weekend and her shoes were insanely organized. At first I thought "that'd make my life easier", than I thought "that looks like a lot of work".
#7, REALLY? That's sort of the only time I drink milk! Wacky :)
I love these!
I don't think about washing my feet unless their dirty, either.
I slouch, too.
I purge and sell the items on eBay (new obsession).
I don't have a relationship with my mother either and sometimes I feel guilty because of it.
I don't pay attn to politics.
Rarely do I ever turn the tv on.
#12. Buy a large exercise ball to sit on at your desk. This helped me tremendously! (plus, it's fun)
I can relate to the mum thing. Same here. I cant stand pink ,it is because it is the unwritten LAW that girls have to wear it,have exercise stuff made in it and all girls toys are sold either packaged in it or fabricated in it. LOL
I brought popcorn to work today but didn't get to eat it.
LBM's second toe is shorter than the others and I actually waste time looking to see if that is a sign of some disorder. Really, I did.
Feet don't gross you out, they are gross.
The side of my middle finger is deformed from holding my pencil too tightly.
Yuck milk...unless I just ran and it's lowfat chocolate.
You must own a lot of undies.
I can't stand stinky feet so I wash mine alot.
I love color but don't wear it enough.
No relationship with mom. Breaks my heart, no matter the reason. I wish it were different for you both.
I don't clean enough.
I organinze the closets the same way but I do the shoes neatly too.
You will no always be injured! Promise.
I don't judge numbers. I'm cool with them all. ;-)
Have a great week.
Just stumbled on your blog and thought this was brilliant! I am new to running - I'm not sure it is an adventure yet but I'm hoping to make it that way soon.
Sorry to hear you are still injured. I can sympathize having been out for nearly 6 months with a bulging disc in my back.
Have you tried Bikram? I thought a)I'd hate it b)I'd have to avoid certain poses to protect my back but c)even though (because?) it's tough as hell I am determined to do it and d)my back is not only fine now but ACTUALLY STRONG and sorry to be the one to say this e)I am a Bikram yoga PUSHER now because I believe it can cure just about EVERYTHING
Hope you heal up soon. I know how much it sucks to NOT BE RUNNING.
