• 25 choses

  This posting of 25 random things is currently circulating on Facebook, but I thought it might be more fun to put it here and to tag a few of you.

  1. I have lived in four different countries and have felt at home in all but one of them.

  2. Whether it’s turning a few shades of crimson or crying in public, I am incapable of hiding my emotion.

  3. I have only felt “complete” once in my life, and that was last summer in Switzerland.

  4. I tend to cling too strongly to the past.

  5. I openly admit to really liking Céline Dion.

  6. Debussy’s Clair de lune is my all-time favorite song.

  7. I have thoughts that I know I can never share with anyone.

  8. I believe that adults have much to learn from children.

  9. Middle school was so bad that I contemplated suicide more than once.

  10. There is little that makes me happier than opening my mailbox and finding a letter from a friend.

  11. The older I get, the less I trust other people.

  12. I have always been self-conscious about my body.

  13. One reason I love teaching very young children is because I know that I can be 100% myself and that they won’t judge me.

  14. I wish some people cared as much about me as I do about them.

  15. I have done nearly everything in my life the “right” way but wonder how my life would be different or even better if I had veered just a little off path.

  16. Despite not playing an instrument, I am very musically inclined.  Around the house especially, I make up songs and rhymes as if it were my job.

  17. Though I was teased for it in elementary school, I have grown very fond of my last name (especially when it’s pronounced in French!) and don’t really want to give up part of my identity once I get married. 

  18. I miss being a student.

  19. I once got out of a speeding ticket by promising the cop we’d go for coffee.

  20. I enjoy drinking to the point of feeling light and fuzzy.

  21. I know the lyrics to every Isabelle Boulay song by heart.

  22. I’m pretty pissed that over 25% of the people on our guest list for the wedding are people I’ve never met.

  23.  I enjoy erotica.

  24.  I oftentimes feel more European than I do American.

  25. Rain or shine, I ride my bike to work every day.

  You are, of course, not obligated to partake, but I’m tagging the following people:

  babyamelie, christao408, yoyocello, UR_MUSE, ZSA_MD, Ailanna, skibum137 and Dezinerdreams
