Picking up the Gauntlet, Part 1

As challenged by Kirsty, I am picking the gauntlet up. Also, this has been insanely popular on Facecrack lately and I am all "intense" and stuff about following the group -here we go. I've just gotta say though, that despite thinking about this for the majority of the day doesn't necessarily mean that my 25 will be well thought out and not lame.

1) I have been in Germany for 5 months and my German is still crap. My accent is better but I still have the vocab of a 5 year old.

2) I love pastry beyond all reason, especially those awesome chocolate croissant thingies.

3) I have had the same teddy bear since I was 13. And I bring him everywhere still. Including my trip to Germany. I also got all original and named him Teddy.

4) If I am too cold when I sleep then I will always have nightmares. I have a lot of nightmares anyway. I also have a lot of recurring dreams. I believe that dream catchers do help with nightmares, but I never think about getting one 'til after I have a nightmare.

5) When I dream it usually somehow involves the last thing I read or watched. My dreams were way messed up when I read the Twilight series. Last night I dreamt about Pineapple Express. It was even more messed up than Twilight; I have never seen so much weed in my life as in that dream.

6) I make fantastic homemade soup and Manda has invited me to cook for the coffee shop she is eventually opening :)

7) Everytime I see someone running for fun, I almost always feel the urge to punch them in the back of the head. This is especially bad if they are wearing those creepy spandex outfits. *shudder*

8) I have dreams about my dog, Nora, getting old and dying and it scares the crap out of me. It's stupid b/c she's not even two years old yet. When I had her fixed, the paperwork that said she might die terrified me. I spent the day before she went in for surgery taking pictures of her in case something went wrong and she died.

9) I am a crap planner, but not planning something to the last detail scares the crap out of me too.

10) If I could find a decent job in Camrose, I would prolly never move out of the basement suite I currently rent there. I would prolly just eventually end up buying the damn house.

11) My drink of choice is Malibu Coconut Rum in Coke. Courage in a bottle usually leads to an eventful walk home through the park. Andy and Manda are most often my partners in crime when it comes to dumb things done after drinking.
