it's the little things

Here are some little things about me that you may or may not already know.

- I look for palindromes on the mileage on my car (i.e. 92429).  Also, birthdays.  (i.e. 121188 will be my birthday)
- I am not good at keeping up with the laundry as it moves from washer to dryer to folding to dresser or closet.
- I can't stand hair when it's not on my head, like in my hairbrush and on the floor.
- Needles used to wig me out, but they don't anymore.
- Poor use of apostrophes drive me bonkers.  It's is different than its.
- So does poor use of capitalization.
- I don't like it when plans are changed unexpectedly, but I really can handle it.
- I don't like it when marching bands don't make straight lines when they're supposed to be in straight lines.  You can always tell these things.
- I hate overuse of the f-word.  "F-in this and f-in that you f-in f-er" loses the punch of the word. 
- I don't really like confrontation.  (that's putting it lightly)
- I like to do math.  Not the really complicated kind.  I just like formulas and letting everything work itself out.
- I don't like it when the other team's band plays during football plays.  I think Les should always complain when that happens because the GBFTL never does that.  Respect.
- There's not much about UGA that I like.
- I color-code my life.
- I find secret, great joy in cleaning the counters.
- I watch the series of Friends over and over.
- "When Harry Met Sally" is my all-time favorite movie.  I watch it whenever I need to be cheered up, and other times, too.
- I can type 84 words per minute.
- I can play all the notes on my clarinet (a chromatic scale) really fast.
- Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, a very famous clarinet piece (one of the first written for the instrument to have a solo), was one of the two pieces I played for Dr. O'Dell when I was accepted to LSU.
- I was only in one Pregame when I was in Tiger Band.
- I sing in my car and dance when it's appropriate (sometimes I'm driving so I can't!)
- I will always eat macaroni and cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich.  Always.
- If you want to win my heart, do these things: 

1. Open doors for me, especially car doors.
2. Take me to see an orchestra play.  Don't take me to see an orchestra play something contemporary because I won't like it.
3. Hold my hand.
4. Listen to me talk about things I "nerd out" about - marching band, music history, LSU, etc.  And let me listen and be interested in the things you "nerd out" about.
5. Flirt with me.
6. Cook me food, particularly breakfast.
7. Love my dog.
8. Spend time with me and my family and my friends, and laugh with us.  I will do the same for you, of course.
9. Laugh at things I say that I think are funny... Enjoy me when I think I'm hilarious.
10. Take me on dates that you plan for me.
