Know Me. Love Me.

I've always loved personality tests and online surveys. As if I seriously needed someone else to tell me what kind of person I am. But lo and behold, I have a weird fascination for filling out forms.

10 random things about me:
1. I'm super competitive. Especially at things that don't really matter.
2. I can't curl my tongue. It's apparently a recessive trait. Although, a certain someone just thinks that I'm a freak.
3. I'm a sucker for marketing and advertisements. Slap a "New!" sticker on anything and I'll buy it.
4. I swim like a rock. Apparently, a lack of body fat prevents you from floating very well.
5. I really like sarcasm and deadpan humor. Could Chandler Bing BE anymore of my soulmate?
6. I'm in love with Michael Vartan. Seriously.
7. I love things with "beady" eyes. Just ask Mikers or I for a complete explanation on what "beady" eyes look like.
8. I've become an expert on hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration, ultrafiltration, and convection in the past 2.5 years.
9. I love star-shaped donuts and Snapple Real Facts. Plus, I'm neurotic about crossword puzzles.
10. I'm an eternal optimist.
