100 things about me, part duex

You can read Part 1 here.

21. I love to bake.  Especially late at night

22. My high school mascot was an acorn.  My college mascot was a banana slug.  Two of the lamest mascots ever.

23. When I was eight, my mom made me a pair of lavender paisley pants.  I still remember how excited I was that day when she finished sewing them.

24. I rarely cook a meal that doesn’t have onion and garlic.  I’ve channeled my inner Italian Grandmother

25. I wax my armpits

26. I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

27. I get my nails done every two weeks

28. I have a membership to Happy Hollow.  Darius and I go at least once a month

29. I don’t have a favorite color

30. I found out I was severely lactose intolerant after I drank a nice hot latte at the Stanford Mall and ended up projectile barfing at the jewelry counter in Macy’s.  During Christmas shopping season.  On the back of my roommate.  I didn’t go back into that Macy’s for nearly two years.  It still stands as my most embarrassing moment.

31. I burn easily. SPF 45 for me, every day. All day.

32. I am a Reality TV junkie and proud of it. 

33. I snore

34. I have a collection of Barbie’s.  I’ve been collecting since I was a girl.  I must have 30 or 40 rare or pop-culture Barbie’s.  My favorites are the entire set of Scooby Doo characters, the entire set of Wizard of Oz, and these ones that my dad found that look like strippers.

35. When I was about 11 years old, a friend and I snuck a pack of her dad’s smokes and went up into the hills to try smoking.  We smoked nearly the entire pack and were so physically ill.  I remember dry heaving.  So gross

36. I love to drink Champagne

37. My senior thesis in college was written about the history of eating disorders and the prevalent mother-blaming that occurs in the diagnosis and treatment of the illness. 

38. My dad gave me a cell phone when I turned 21.  I thought I was so frickin’ cool.  It kills me a little when I see teenagers with iPhones now.

39. I have anti-bacterial gel in the car, in my purse, and at my desk at work.

40. I can make my own ice cream
