22 things about Super-S

  1. I am a serious procrastinator. Not because I’m lazy, but because I believe in doing something right if it’s going to be done at all, so I put it off until I can do it right. (I started this list nearly four months ago.)
  2. I like to eat out of containers - yogurt and ice cream out of tubs, peanut butter and jam out of the jar, even baked dishes (like casseroles or lasagnas) I prefer to eat right out of the baking dish.
  3. I am a Gemini and a middle child and I am unreasonably proud of those two facts.
  4. I do not actually believe in astrology.
  5. I do, however, believe very strongly in the effect that birth order has on children.
  6. I am apt to start projects enthusiastically, and then never really go anywhere with them (this blog may be a case in point).
  7. My OCD, however, prevents me from leaving things open-ended like that, and I always take a stab at achieving some sort of closure on whatever I’m doing.
  8. I LOVE the arts and hate that though I’ve dabbled in painting, drawing, music, photography, etc. I have never had the talent or confidence to excel.
  9. As a child I used to hate team sports, or any sports for that matter.
  10. I used to be kind of a chubby kid.
  11. I now love, love, love all sorts of sports though, again, I do not excel at any, but I’m actually okay with that.
  12. My favorite sport to play, watch, whatever is basketball, followed by football (ie, soccer).
  13. I also love board games.
  14. I am extremely non-competitive and am likely to apologize if I happen to score a point against you.
  15. I am learning to be less apologetic thanks to Scrabulous.
  16. I’ve had an obsession with Ireland since I was 14.
  17. I finally managed to visit Ireland when I was 25. It was not everything I imagined it would be, but I must have liked it well enough to move to (Northern) Ireland, and make frequent weekend visits to the south.
  18. My life is nothing like I imagined it would be when I was younger.
  19. For one thing, I am not an engineer, which is all I ever wanted to be from age 7 to 17, and what I entered college to study.
  20. After one year of that, I ended up in the humanities.
  21. My life now is more difficult than I imagined, I am sometimes conflicted about the choices I’ve made, but there is very little I would change if given the opportunity.
  22. was my basketball number all through high school, and though I generally dislike even numbers I still find something comforting about 22.
