Random things about me
Everyone has been doing this... it's SO weird. Anyway, I'm feeling a bit spontaneous this afternoon.
My b'friend John told me the other day that he used to be deathly afraid of sharks, and one day forced himself to overcome his fear by swimming in shark-infested waters. I've decided to add my "25 things" to the common assemblage in an effort to overcome my annoyance with it. (hope it works...)
So--here you have the first twenty-five random things that came to my mind when I started thinking about me, me, me. Will you know me better after reading them?
1. Grapefruit Seed Extract
2. Fleet Foxes
3. Shenkerian Theory
4. Anasazi Beans
5. Yoga
6. Non-fiction
7. Thailand and Vietnam
8. Innocence vs. Experience
9. Rice cakes
10. Different
11. Bon Iver
12. Henry David Thoreau
13. Ear Plugs
14. Baby Smell
15. Hair
16. Public Transportation
17. NPR
18. Martin Luther King, Jr.
19. (No words to describe this one)
20. Positive Energy
21. Malleability
22. Conservation
23. Rules vs. Guidelines
24. The Future
25. Someday we'll all be in for a big surprise.
I tag no one.

Why the baby smell?
because I LOVE baby smell!!!
Don't you?
Do babies ever smell bad? I don't remember. (I don't get to spend very much time with babies these days...)
Baby smell for sure.
I wish I had a more appropriate/interesting/original word than cool but your post in its' entirety is just plain cool. Way to be.
I love your post, Michele! It's lovely and so are you! I also like a lot of the things on your list, so it could be a great talking point for our next lunch outing. :)
I guess when I read baby smel, I thought of that manufactured smell they sometimes put on stuff, sort of like a mix of creamy wierdness and baby powder! But real babies... yes. They do smell very good. I was just talking about that the other day...
I like your list but I have no idea what Anasazi beans are, and I want to know.
I just recently discovered Anasazi beans. They're purple and white kidney shaped, a little bigger than pinto beans. They taste AWESOME. And they cook in about 2/3 the amount of time as regular beans.
The problem is that they're hard to find. You can order them from Bob's Red Mill: http://www.bobsredmill.com/product.php?productid=3531&cat=105&page=2
My friend Andrew just sent me this link from the New York Times... pretty funny!

"In case you didn’t know, comments equate to status on Facebook even more than number of friends."
Good to know. Josh and I had a Facebook # of friends contest and he won. I should probably do the 25 Random Things and get my reputation back.
I liked your lil' spin on the list.
I like your 25 things.
Every time I try and make one up, I feel like the list is just too restrictive. "I like music" ... but but what if sometimes I just dont like music? What if I want to listen to talk radio?? then I'm pretty much just lying. 25 random lies about myself. And if I'm going to be putting lies up there, they might as well be INTERESTING lies. And my brains are just not that creative. Not even the 2nd one.
Thank you for not tagging me :). Have you ever wondered why things make us react a certain way? I thought about this as I read your survey.
