I've been asked to write down ten random (little known?) facts about me.  So here goes nothing...

1. I'm very maternal
Seriously, I scare myself sometimes.  If I were a man, I'd probably be behind bars already due to suspicion of being a pedophile.  I love children and everything about kids.  But I am deathly afraid of childbirth.  There's something about it that seems so.. cruel.  If push comes to shove (pun intended), I'd probably do it but for now I'd like to think that adoption may be a much better option.

2. I'm scared of driving
I still get nervous when I get on the freeway.  I still look over many times over before making sure I have at least 25 feet of clear space before changing lanes.  I still suck at parking.  And I still turn the keys over to my boyfriend whenever possible.  But I'm doing it anyway.  And I think it's a move in the right direction.

3. I love surprises
Pleasant ones, of course.  But sadly I have yet to be pleasantly surprised in a long while.  How hard is it for guys to send flowers for no reason at all, anyway huh? 

4. I'm very self-conscious
Funny that I said that while I'm blogging.  Because that's like the complete opposite of being self-conscious.  Well what I mean by that is I always have a fear of embarassing myself.  I used to be afraid of going on dates in case the guy looks at the way I eat and then run madly in the other direction.  Here's a deep dark secret from long ago: during school field trips or retreats I wouldn't go number #2 for the entire duration of the trip (2-3 days) because I am embarassed by my own stink.  Gosh, after those days I would suffer so much in the bathroom..  :(  All because I'm very self-conscious.

5. I get bored easily
Very, very easily.  Just look at this blog.  There was zero post for like 3-4 years.  And then now I'm blogging somewhat regularly but please, don't hold your breath.  ;) 

6. I'm a hermit
I don't find pleasure in going to clubs and drinking (and dancing) my head off.  I see no fun in it at all.  I like to say that I went through that phase already and I'm over it.  But the truth is I never find any enjoyment in it.  So maybe I have an old soul, or maybe I'm just an ogre.

7. I don't have 10 things.  So I'm ending the list here.  This draft percolated around in my brain for the holiday season and really, I don't have anymore little-known things.  Sorry Mia!...
