More Random Things about Me - Today

Posted by Miranda in Me

Some of this may be listed elsewhere on my page, but anyways….Me today!

  2. I prefer email over the telephone most of the time.
  3. I have a major aversion to fake people.
  4. I’m a compulsive list maker. Sometimes I actually get to mark things off.
  5. I hate to iron.
  6. I hate to cook.
  7. After drinking a latte with 3 espresso shots I can still immediately go take a nap.
  8. I do have a favorite cuss word. It is a bad one.
