1.  I can solve Rubik’s Cube. (I used to piss people off whenever I’d see one somewhere, whether it was a store, where someone had been playing with it, or at someone’s house.  I’d pick it up, look at it and within 5 minutes was done.  I tried to teach one person how to unsuccessfully and I’ve only met 2 other people that could solve it)

8.  I shine shoes and iron very well.  And I actually don’t mind doing either.

9.  I love suits.  (I used to have a closetful of them from working at Casual Corner.  I got them at half price that way.  I later gave them to my best friend when I moved because I didn’t fit in them anymore.  Then I got where I could have fit in them again and wished I still had them)

25.  I’m terrible about remembering people’s names.  I can remember faces, though.

26.  I used to play Dungeons and Dragons.

27.  My friends say I don’t laugh much.  (It’s actually more that I have an odd sense of humor and what some people find funny, I don’t, while something else will make me laugh, and no one else will think it’s funny)

28.  The simplest things or gestures can make me happy.  (A person’s time and attention means more to me than expensive gifts)

29.  I hated to color when I was a kid.  (It was the classic thing where I didn’t want to stay in the lines or use the right colors.  Now I actually enjoy coloring with kids.  It’s relaxing)
