Happy Anniversary – 25 Things

before bra colors, scrabbulous, insulting celebrities (doppelganger week) and Farmville…facebook had [arguably] its first big trend– 25 Things. as a tribute, I dusted off my list:

25 things that may or may not be about me

[originally posted: Sunday, February 8, 2009]

  1. My vision is really good. I have 20/80 vision, cat eyes and I can like see through things.

  2. I invented air so every time you breathe you owe me 10 cents

  3. I can breath so deep I can move furniture with my breathe, so I rearranged my whole house that way

  4. I do promotional work for planters. I drive myself in a nut car. Mr peanut on wheels. The windshield is a monocle and the convertible is a top hat

  5. I have a fever of 161

  6. Benjamin button was based on me. I am going to die an old lady baby

  7. I married oprah’s best friend gayle, Stedman and dr. oz, and our wedding was at harpo studios

  8. I used to be a puppet. I was on fraggle rock

  9. my two best friends are a tomato and liza minelli

  10. The only time someone landed a punch to my face was my sister. Subsequently, it was also the only time I walked away from a fight. I probably would have killed her. Patience was/is not my thing.

  11. I have an irrational fear of frogs

  12. once when I went scuba diving, my boat was bitch slapped by a whale

  13. my left knee is 15 years older than my right knee thanks to the ligament from a dead man

  14. I like michael Bolton and have seen him in concert multiple times. And made at least one friend love him… “Girl from Impanema” sung by Michael Bolton, huh, R. Rod?

  15. I have over 90 full wheaties boxes and one corn flakes… thanks phelps.

  16. When I was younger I wanted to change my name to Samantha (inspired by who’s the boss), b/c I wanted a name that could be shortened.

  17. I got kicked off the school bus in kindergarten. The bus is not a playground.

  18. I used to go on midnight runs and fork lawns. With 100’s of plastic forks.

  19. My tivo just turned 9. Happy birthday, tivo.

  20. My favorite xmas tradition is watching sesame street xmas. So good. Oh that and the fact that every year my mom forgets to put one xmas decoration away and it stays out all year. most of the time it is a ceramic goose with santa riding it that gets hung. it doesn’t even make sense.

  21. I have diagnosed myself with C.A.D.D. it stands for Competitive A.D.D. if there is a twinge of winning/competition involved I can pay attention for hours. If not, A.D.D. wins.

  22. Top five movies in no order: High Fidelity, Fight Club, Labyrinth, Spaceballs, Power of One.

  23. I have a very hard time throwing things out. I have a philosophy that large events in life you will always remember, but the little things that make up many moments in life, and who you are, sometimes needs a tangible cue.

  24. Ketchup is the foulest food/condiment ever. Smell, texture, taste.

  25. I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy. And that helps me avoid being serious and confrontations.

10 of these things are not true. Guess or watch

Meghan Vogel:

I can only find 9 that aren’t true unless it’s something super lame like you actually have 89 wheaties boxes or your tivo just turned 8. maybe you think your fear of frogs is completely rational?

Erin Vogel:

oh wait… #26. attention to detail is not my thing either.
