Random New Year's Post...again!

Since last year's random New Year's post had the highest stats of any of my posts by a landslide, I figured that come 2012, I'd give ya another.I guess y'all like when I give you personal details?
I know it's late and it's no longer the first of the year, but it's my first post of the year, and I'll explain why in a later post. But without further ado...12 things you never really needed to know about me.

1. I think the 80's had the best music of any decade...by far. I love 80's music. A little too much.
2. For my whole life my favorite color was purple. As of the past year, it's green. Forest or pine green to be exact.
3. I love to tie-dye. Most of my friends have at one point or another indulged me in this silly obsession.
4. I love chocolate, but I will not touch chocolate ice cream. Something about it is weird to me.
5. I have five piercings (two earlobe and one cartilage) and two tattoos. I could see myself getting more tats, but certainly no more piercings. They hurt too much. Plus, I'd look silly with an eyebrow ring, as much as I'd like to think I wouldn't.
6. I dance in the rain. Barefoot. A bit hippie, yes, but so satisfying...physically and emotionally.
7. My favorite foods, in no particular order: pomegranate seeds, avocados, and peanut butter (smooth, not crunchy).
8. I've been a vegetarian since I was 11. I tried to go vegan a few years ago. I lasted a week.
9. When I was a kid (about 6 or 7) and you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my standard answer was "Stevie Nicks". Adults found that quite amusing. I just thought she was beautiful, wore the best outfits, and could fucking sing. Now, I too find that amusing (although I do still love Stevie...).
10. I love camping. I would spent every weekend in a tent and cooking over a campfire if I could. And none of that air-mattress-in-the-tent shit for me. Cowgirl brings an air mattress...AND a space heater!!!
11. I am killer at backgammon. And boggle. Challenge me. I dare you.
12. I'm not one for staying up late (ironic, as it's after 1 am right now). If I had my way, I'd go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6. Sucked in college...my friends called me the grandmother!! I could never stay up late enough to hang out with people! But I'd rather be up with the sun than sleep all day.

Everyone should have some kind of fantasy about Stevie Nicks. It's just one of those facts of life. She exists, therefore we fantasize.

Happy New Year, I'm catching up on my blog reading after a weird couple of weeks, and happy to see you here.

nice. the 80s had great music, but I love 90s music better.

green is my new favorite color, too. I like mine lime flavored.

hooooray tie-dyed! I can't wait for the day when you move to Colorado and we have tie-dye parties.

oh gawd, how I love chocolate ice cream. but cannot.

I have many piercings. And think I should get a few re-done. I don't wear jewelry in my ears usually, but that's where most of my holes are.

life is too short not to dance in the rain.

speaking of being up too late, it's 730 and I'm ready to hit the hay.

no wonder we're friends. we are very much alike.
