Eight Random Facts About Me

Wow, this is really hard. Michelle tagged me for this thing, so here it is.... since it is basically my family that reads this, I tried not to include any about my family which is certainly one of my most distinctive qualities. You'll still probably know them all. Here goes...

1. My favorite kinds of books are children stories and non-fiction about whatever my current obsession is. There are about 2000 books in our little apartment.

2. My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden. We go there for Nan's birthday every year. It is a real treat. Incidentally, Nan's favorite restaurant is Hoss's, but we go there with her throughout the year.

3. I asked Jesus into my heart when I was three years old and have been intimate with Him for my entire life.

4. I think bare feet are precious, even on a man.

5. I stick to things. I will listen to the same 3 songs over and over, will read the same books over and over, and once I commit to something, I don't let go of it. I don't like to quit jobs, I don't give up on people, and I don't change my mind unless forced to do so.

6. I read books in a weird way. The first time I read really fast, just to get the gist of the plot. The second time I read a little slow to get more of the details. I do not read every word. Then I can read and reread and reread, and find something new every time. It's not something I do intentionally, but it is something I do consistently.

7. If somebody wants me to read a book, 95% of the time, I can't and won't. I actually think (hard) about what percentage to use when I say something like that. Which I do often.

8. I like costumes and can't wait to dress up for the Ren Faire.

Why do half of my random facts involve books? At work, it is almost a pass phrase when assigning me certain tasks - "The best person for this task is Rachel-" "-because it involves books."
