I saw a post somewhere a long time ago that listed a bunch of random facts about themselves, so I thought that it would be fun to try. Can’t believe I came up with 50 of them as easily as I did! I probably could do more, but I wouldn’t want to bore anyone TOO much.
Feel free to post some random self facts about yourselves in the comments, by the way! It’s kind of fun.
3. I used to tell my poor younger brother that we didn’t know where he was born because he was birthed in an airplane between states… and he believed me.
4. I’m really tall (6′0″), and I love it - although I do NOT like trying to find tall sizes.
5. I’m extremely emotionally-sensitive. I can “read” others very well and sometimes get a feel for what they’re feeling. The downside? I get hurt too easily sometimes.
6. I’ve had just about every haircolor there is throughout my life, but keep going back to blondes and reds - they fit my personality best, too.
7. I learned how to walk before I learned how to crawl. I had casts on my feet to correct how my feet were “bent” when I was born.
8. I can sleep equally well on either side of the bed.
9. I can’t sleep unless I’m lying down, and even then I have a really hard time doing it in public/strange places.
10. I can touch my tongue to my nose.
11. I would love to travel the world, but have done very little of it.
12. I used to want to be the first teenager in space (I know, I know…), thought I was psychic (see the abovementioned #5 fact and this isn’t too far from the truth in some ways), and I wanted to own a bunch of horses (still would like to one day!)
13. Sometimes my imagination is more vivid than I’d like it to be, other times it’s not enough.
14. I’m low-maintenance (and my husband agrees - no, really!)
15. I used to stutter, and I still have a hard time thinking of words sometimes (especially when I’m nervous).
16. I love movies.
17. I’m very good at keeping myself amused, regardless of the situation.
18. I think that my best feature is my eyes.
19. I believe whole-heartedly in taking chances in life in order to make the most of your time and really experience life, but I don’t do it enough.
20. One of my biggest pet peeves is people that are ignorant about something, yet SURE that they are right. (Closed-mindedness, I suppose.)
21. I love inspirational stories. Sometimes I try to just take a slow walk and think about how lucky I am.
22. I’m stubborn.
23. I’m very secure about things that I think I’m good at, but can be very insecure about the others.
24. I LOVE the sound and smell of the rain. Thunder soothes me.
25. I am very philosophical, and love to think things over in my head that I find interesting.
26. I used to sing duets on stage with my father, as well as having a solo in a school chorus performance. Singing is still a huge part of my life, and I sometimes wish I’d had some kind of professional tutoring in the area to see how decent I could have been at it. I sang to my husband on our wedding day, at the reception.
27. I’ve had a few dreams where I was somehow granted omniscience (infinite knowledge). I woke up suddenly, with a wonderful feeling inside that I could never begin to explain, only to lose it a few moments later as I realized I was awake and no longer had the gift of understanding it all.
28. I’ve never had that many women friends. Most have been male, and I still have a much better success rate with male friends to this day.
29. I used to be a habitual liar, so people not trusting me (I’m all about truth now, though!) upsets me.
30. I don’t drink while I’m eating. I finish the meal, then have my drink.
31. I don’t like fish or any seafood that tastes salty.
32. I believe in God. I believe in science. I do not believe that one contradicts the other, because The Bible is not meant to be taken quite as literally as some people try to take it.
33. I worry about the world and what we’re doing to it… and to each other.
34. I hate doing laundry.
35. I love all holidays, and any excuse to give others gifts (I enjoy giving them more than getting them) and be joyful.
36. I don’t really watch TV. I download whole seasons of shows and watch them like I would a really long movie.
37. I’ve had an unreasonable fear, my whole life, that I would never be able to have children. And I do, obviously, want them.
38. I can be somewhat of a loner, and do very well when I’m on my own. However, I do love to socialize when I’m around people, and am very good at first impressions (and second, and third, for that matter…).
39. I’m a dog person.
40. I’m horrible at staying in touch with people.
41. I say what I think, even if I’m the only person in the conversation that feels that way and I know it.
42. I love sleep.. probably too much.
43. My favorite outfit in the world is and always will be: a pair of jeans, a fitted, simple white t-shirt (or tank top), black leather boots, and a black leather jacket. I think it, in a way, personifies who I am… or who I would like to be. A little of both.
44. I’ve never done drugs.
45. I’m usually too hard on myself.
46. I believe that you have to fight for the things that you believe in.
47. I love reading to my husband.
48. I’m good at a lot of things, but I don’t feel that I’m phenomenally good at any of them.
49. I like to watch people. Not in a creepy or stalker-ish way, mind you. I’m not sure how to explain it. I have to be in the right mood, but when I am, I find other people fascinating.
50. I can’t believe I thought of fifty of these things. I guess I’d better make this last one: “I tend to ramble” ![]()

I read every one of them, you are not helping my productivity ! ask joey how “the site” is going. i want details
Love your site - great ideas, but having read your random facts, we’d never get along, even my cat agrees…
Wow! You are me!!! Except the jeans and white shirt!! And the never watch tv - I do whilst on the computer or scrapping but never during the day. But you and I are incredibly alike. I even used to have the childhood dream - but mine was a car not a man and it too was sometimes invisible but always there. Everything you said was me! How about that!!!
Sorry to hear about your “not nice” start of the year. hopefully now you have recovered and your family too. Wally sounds like he was a great person.
How ever do you have time to make up brushes?
How nice of you to tell us so much about yourself. I read every one of them and enjoyed it! Really I did! I like the fact that you are so honest about yourself, it shows you really know who you truly are.
I would like to add my facts too, as you asked for them.
1. I am both a cat and dog person, although I must confess that cats are closer to my heart.
2. my favourite pet peeves are people that are racist, homophobic and rude! Oh, and child molestors and people who are cruel too animals and people weaker than themselves.
3. I suffur from clinical depression and anxiety, I am angoraphobic (fear of open places.The opposite of claustrophobic!)
4. I am kind of a prisonar in my own home due to this phobia, and can only go places if someone drives me.

6. My biggest fear is passing my depression and anxiety on to my daughter either through genes or simply by having a parent like me.

8. I’m good at other stuff too, but I’m not so confident in other areas. Being a mom makes me feel a sence of purpose.
9. Before I had my daughter, I miscarried twice. That was the hardest time in my life! I just wanted to lay down and die. But I got through it and I am stronger because of it.
10. My favourite colours are black, purple, and pink.
11. My favourite number is 13.
12. I’m overly sensitive too other peoples mood. I can sence somebody’s mood by just one glance at them.
13. I hate when people won’t admit they are in a faul mood! It makes me nervous, being able to feel it and not talk about it. It makes me imagine all sort of horrible reasons why they are in a bad mood. Usually I imagine they are mad at me for some reason.
14. I’m stubborn too!
15. I’m easily hurt emotionally. For that reason people scare me. And I tend to be a lone wolf.
16. I have difficulty with forgiving people and accepting an apoligy.

18. I am fat! No really I am! About 40 kilo overweight.
19. I love singing, but can’t sing very well.
20. I hate doing the dishes. I would rather scrub 10 toilets than putting my hands into dirty water full of food, gravy and other disgusting stuff.
21. I have long nails. I use to bite them but got read of the nasty habbit my wacking myself over the fingers when I caught myself doing it. It worked!
22. I found my first 2 gray hair just before my 22nd. birthday. Now I have quite a few.
23. I smoke cigarettes.

27. I am a night owl.
28. I have sufferd from horrible nightmares all my life. Luckily in the last few months I havn’t had them as often. Still waiting to grow out of it. I used to have the several times a week and often 3 or 4 a night!
Not your usually kind of nightmares, but the kind that you wake screaming and crying from.
29. I am 29 years old.
Well that’s it! Can’t think of more to write about.
