021. Shoes are my favorite article of clothing.
Shoes It's funny because as much I love shoes, if I can be barefoot, I will be. I hate the feeling of socks and am happy just to go throughout my day in flip flops or Tevas. I had a pair of flip flops that I loved so much I went and bought an identical pair when they broke.


022. Besides underwear.
Underwear There's not much to say here. Underwear is cute. I could easily spend abhorrent amounts of money on underwear.


023. But I usually just wear my running shoes.
Sneakers When I have to wear shoes, it's my pair of New Balance cross trainers. They are so incredibly comfortable. I've been wearing New Balance for 6 years now and I hate having to wear anything else. For a long time I wore the Men's styles too. I liked that they came in gray as opposed to white.


024. That I have two identical pairs of.
Two pairs I went to order new sneakers before going on vacation, and accidentally ordered two pairs. When I got them both I was quite happy, since I have a habit of buying two of anything I like. Shoes, pants, etc. I lent my sister one pair once and she lost one for the longest time. She tried to tell me that the cat ate it. She's a strange girl.


025. I'm a Capricorn.
Capricorn That makes me a goat! I am "the business person of the zodiac". Right. "Being ruled by Saturn endows you with a sobering, down to earth approach in everything you do in life. For this reason, some people may see you as a little serious and somewhat overly concerned with the practical results of your endeavors. "


026. December 24th is my birthday
Gift My mother's water broke in the mall while she was shopping for last minute Christmas gifts. My father then couldn't find the keys to the car, and was looking for them like crazy until he realized they were in the car door. After a few hours of labor, I was born around 3 in the afternoon weighing a little more than 7 pounds. Merry Christmas!


027. When people say cutesy things like "Aw you're a Christmas baby" I want to smack them.
Xmas I have a problem with people who state the obvious. It's annoying, and ridiculous. ANY time I fill out paperwork or talk to someone I get the "aww a Christmas baby!" or variations like "What a good Christmas present!" Yes, I know I was born the day before Christmas. I've known that for my entire life. Let's move on.


028. Sometimes I sleep with my head at the foot of my bed.
Upside down It's always fun to switch things up a little bit, no? Sometimes I would do it to see the computer monitor or the TV, or so I could better reach the radio. Sometimes I do it just to be different.


029. I don't drink
Alcohol Nor have I ever. Well, that's not true. I had a sip of champagne on New Years when I was eight or nine years old. I also have a vague memory of my dad letting me taste beer when I was REALLY young. I try to avoid gatherings where there's alcohol.


030. It makes me very nervous.
Bad Suffice it to say that Alcoholism runs rampant in my family. The thought that I may have a predisposition to have a hard time with alcohol is enough to keep me from drinking. I've seen too many things destroyed by alcohol and I would never want to be the one out of control.
