takin the easy way out...

ok, so i'm bored, and don't really have much to write about, and i've seen this done on some of the other blogs i read, so i'm going to be a poser. today's post will be:
5 weird things you may or may not know about me -

ok, so here we go:

1. i cannot bend my thumb on either hand without all of my fingers on that hand bending as well. apparently my tendons are conected too high or something, so while i can move every other finger independently, my thumb controls the rest.

2. i was in the movie, "boys don't cry". seriously. they filmed part of it in the town where i grew up, and my mom worked for the local newspaper where the film critic got us in. and yes, i did get paid for it.

3. i am a huge r.e.m. fan. since my freshman year in high school, i have had a deep love for r.e.m.'s music and band members. i did go on a three year hiatus where i protested them for being sell outs and too political for their own damn good, but thanks to my photography teacher last semester, i've re-found my love for them.

4. i am distantly related to the writer H.G. Wells. don't ask me how, i just know that i am. my middle name is wells...go figure.

5. last, but not least, or perhaps it is, who knows. i am allergic to chocolate. anytime i consume chocolate in any form (ie- candy bar, chocolate milk, cake, etc...) i sneeze. i get it from my grandma on my dad's side, who, every time she ate any chocolate, would sneeze three times.

so not the most intriguing of lists, i can assure you, but i actually had a bit of trouble writing it. though, i guess i should be greatful for not having a plethora of oddities of which to write about.

in other news, classes start tomorrow, which means i have to get up at 8:30a.m. and that just sucks. however, something that i hadn't realized yet, since i dropped the raquetball class, i now get an hour and a half break between my first and second class. since i only live five minutes from campus, this is a very good thing. yay.
alrighty, well i should go be productive or something. later!
