50 RaNdOm ThInGs AbOuT mE!!!

So I was sold on this hype on Facebook – to list “25 Random Things About Me”. And then of course when I began to jot down all that I knew about me, my list expanded to a 100 in less than an hour. I finally succumbed to 50. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing them down!!!

1. I was born 11 ½ lbs – till this day I’m shedding those pounds. People refused to carry me when I was a baby; they claimed their arms ached after a few seconds. By the age of 6, I was anorexic. My mom then had my tonsils removed and fed me all kinds of food. I miss my tonsils
2. I was in the school dance team for a year and a half. I wore short skirts to football games & performed at half-times – my parents NEVER missed a football game – they came to watch all my performances – I quit because the girls were bitchy…but I still LOVE dancing
3. As a kid, I got bullied, I could never stand up for myself. My sisters were my protectors. One time this girl attacked me by throwing a coke can (full of coke) to my face…can missed me by inches…coke inside didn’t…before I could recover I saw my sister Sana fly over me like one of the Asian chicks from Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon yelling “stay away from my sister, you bitch!” oh she did. But I never filed charges
4. I once filed charges against an ex – a restraining order…it is no longer in affect…he’s married
5. I HATE confrontations. I just ignore people. Politely
6. I LOVE debates…anything political or social or racial gets my attention. Intellect intrigues me – I call it a BRAIN-GASM!!!
7. I don’t like being scolded or criticized. I’d like to think I know everything…I do know everything
8. I LOVE cereal. I can have cereal ANY HOUR of the day all day. In fact when I die, I’d like to have Frosted Flakes and Basic Four buried with me
9. I suffer from extreme road rage. I DESPISE people who drive below 70 mph in the fast lane – I think D.O.T should have a system set up where people like these automatically get ejected from the left lane. My family thinks I’ll die getting shot on the freeway
10. I eat a serving of trail mix nuts and drink a cup of milk every day, except when I’m on the GM diet
11. I LOVE horror movies. As a kid, I loved playing the bad guy. I always played the witch. I wasn’t a disturbed child
12. I barely spoke as a kid. My parents would drag me to visit my aunts and uncles and I could practically stay silent for 10 hrs straight. Now I love to talk. I’m a story-teller
13. I LOVE to exaggerate with numbers…anytime a number is part of a conversation, I’d like to talk in thousands and millions, like “oh my god I’ve called that number like 5000 times or…I wore that shoe 12,765 times or…I think I may have dated like a million men by now” I don’t believe in including numbers less than a 1000 in my conversation…it’s dullsville
14. I truly believe EVERYTHING in life happens for a reason. Nothing is EVER incidental. Not even this list of 1,675 things about me
15. I DREAM of running into my special someone EVERYDAY. I KNOW I have already crossed paths with the man I’m going to marry. I just don’t know who he is
16. Grammar FACTS: I hardly ever get my idioms right. Best invention – Exclamation Mark!!! (I like 3 of them) Don’t believe in periods (or full stops for my Paki friends) – “…” is the 2nd best invention (dot dot dot). Favorite English word: “So”!!!
17. I’m NOT a planner. I leave everything up to the last minute. I like the pressure of time closing in on me, it makes me think quicker and act smarter, otherwise I tend to procrastinate a lot. I’m NOT an organizer too
18. Every night I set the alarm, I press the alarm button 3 times to make sure the alarm is on…it’s never once or twice or 4 times, it’s always 3 times. Weird, huh?
19. I think SNL is over-rated, Seinfeld is a show I absolutely cannot relate to, and Friends are NOT cute???!!!! Phoebe is annoying, Anniston is blaaah, Courtney Cox should’ve been the hype
20. I have a list of men I’d like to marry one day. Many have entered/exited but the one who tops the list now is DANIEL CRAIG
21. I HATE people who confuse opinions with facts…and try to convince you their opinion is either a fact or better than yours…Brad Pitt is good looking – OPINION!...Obama is the first black president of the U.S. – FACT! Get the difference!
22. My biggest pet peeve – when people steal other people’s friends mischievously…I have a strong tendency to attract those kind
23. I LOVE the smell of coffee. I’m addicted to tea

28. I’m a work-out-aholic. I also run 9 miles a week
29. When I burp, the earth rumbles, and all my sisters will begin moving left to right acting as if an earth quake just hit us…(it’s a family joke)…but that’s how loud my burps are…if there’s ever a competition for the loudest burp, I will win it – FACT!
30. I don’t believe in best friends; I believe in good friends

Any time I’m making a conversation with someone and I forget what I was about to say next or I can’t remember something, I will zone out everything and everyone around me UNTIL I remember…I have called people at 4am to ask them about a movie or an event I couldn’t think of…I will not rest until I KNOW…it’s my worst habit…it ANNOYS every1 around me

49. My 2009 resolution – to get a tattoo!BEST feeling in the world (following 2nd best: cleaning my ear with a Q-tip) is to be greeted by my nephew Asim and my niece Malaika. They’re the most yummy-licious priceless pieces of gems of my life. My heart melts when I enter my house and they both run over to hug me. All my worries dissolve, all my heartache disappears, the moment I lay my eyes on them. They both are the true blessings of my life
