I did this on Facebook, so I thought it might be fun to post it here, too.
1. I'm studying abroad in Madrid right now (now everyone is aware of this). I'm also going to visit Morocco, Edinburgh, Italy, and Prague in my journeys.
2. I really want to learn how to dance in that Ginger Rodgers-Fred Astaire-Ruby Keeler sort of way.
3. I don't know how to whistle. It really sucks. If I had 3 wishes, one of them would be to learn how to whistle amazingly well.
4. I love to pick my nose. I never grew out of the habit.
5. I'm left handed.
6. I've had lots of weird different jobs, including working on an organic farm, hairdressing, working in a cubicle (that was THE WORST), and selling those Asian tapioca drinks.
7. I have lots of tattoos, but my favorites are my Star Trek and I love Lucy tattoos.
8. Most people don't guess this about me, but I love science fiction. Forbidden Planet is the best movie ever!
9. I live in San Francisco (when not in Spain) in the mission district, and I love it.
10. I'm not a picky eater, but I hate green peppers and dill pickles. I always give my pickles to Jeremy and Thomas.
11. I had surgery on my knee when I was 7 and have a weird scar that looks like either and eye or a bug, depending who you ask.
12. I collect matchbooks. My favorite are really old ones that have advertisements on them. I have a bunch of Hunt's tomato soup ones, they're awesome.
13. Most of my friends know I fear and loathe modern technology. People make fun of my ancient electronics and I only listen to vinyl records. I don't know how to download music and I never buy or listen to CD's (does anyone anymore?)
14. I won Athlete of the Year my junior year of high school.
15. My ultimate goal in life is to write the next Great American Novel. Wish me luck. Even a top selling sci fi book would satisfy me. Hell. Publishing something would satisfy me.
16. If I could choose a last meal it would be sushi and a huge gooey chocolate cake. And tea.
17. One of my favorite authors is Dostoevsky, I read Crime and Punishment when I was 14.
18. I have really weird hiccups that sound like squeaking or chirping. Sometimes people think it's someone's cell phone. No. It's my hiccups.
19. I don't fear death, except when I'm in an airplane. And I'm going to be on one in about 12 hours, on my way to Barcelona. Awesome.
20. I love all the creepy animals that everyone else is scared of, like tarantulas, snails, and bats. I like cute animals too though. Like kitties!
21. I hate shopping in modern stores like Forever 21. The clothes look terrible on me, are poor quality, and I never even see anything I like. I'm at home in a vintage store.
22. I wear high heels almost every day. Practical ones though, and no, that is not an oxymoron!
23. I love sewing and like making my own clothes and crafts. I'm going to start selling them when I return to the states.
24. I make everyone's Christmas gifts every year, which usually includes some of my baked goods. I'm quite the Betty Crocker, in case you couldn't tell.
25. I'm a hairdresser (yes, professionally trained), and I love cutting hair and styling, but hate coloring (so don't ask me to do your color for you!)
I will post Barcelona Fun Facts next week!
Til Then,
"She's got me doing these 'Fun Facts'",

#4 is a Wentz family trait inherited from our ancestors who roamed the galcier plains of Northern Europe. The trait was an adaptation to assist in keeping the nasal passages open during the cold winter months.
