1. I can’t swallow big kid vitamins.
I don’t know what it is, but every time I see an adult vitamin I’m reminded of a horse pill. They’re huge. My poor little tonsil-obstructed throat can’t handle them without gagging. I’m a pansy, I know. Thankfully, in the past few years, some geniuses somewhere combined a gummy bear with a vitamin and BAM! The adult gummy vitamin was born and I can receive my valuable daily dose of vitamins.
In the words of Paul Harvey….now you know.
2. I hate running. HATE. With a passion. I had a professor who told us that she had a t-shirt that read “Running Sucks” and I knew I had found, in the words of Anne of Green Gables, my bosom buddy (that, in addition to the fact that she’s a former gymnast, like me, and my one of my two favorite professors — but I digress).
Running, to me, equals punishment. As a gymnast, when I didn’t have all my splits, I had to run. Not folding perfectly in half in your pike stretch? Run. Fall off the beam? Run. Have a hair out of place in your ponytail? Run. Blech, I hate running.
Just kidding on that last one. Sort of.
3. When I call people, I say to myself, “Please go to voicemail. Please go to voicemail.” Yeah, I know. It’s dumb. I like talking to people and I’m good at talking to people. I just really hate the phone and I really dislike having to explain why I’m calling without being able to see facial reactions. I’d rather e-mail or talk to you in person. End of story.
4. I have more t-shirts than any human being should have.
They seem to come from everywhere. Souvenirs, events…people stop making t-shirts so readily available! I can’t get rid of them! Goodwill doesn’t seem to want t-shirts labeled with “2008 Region IV FFA Camp”. Or maybe I just have an unjustified connection to them. Eh, tomayto tomahto.

MSU Farming t-shirts....
T-shirt at my sister's open house. Yup, too many t-shirts.
5. Someday I will be a trendy dresser. For some reason #4 gets in the way. Ironic.
You’re not alone. All of the above, true for me as well
I hate running. And I used to do it for fun, when I played soccer. I found it relaxing. Now, thinking about running makes me feel like I weigh a bajillion pounds and makes me want to crawl into bed and never come out. I was never a gymnast, though. Just an uncoordinated wannabe-athlete.
Also…I have way too many t-shirts, as well. I only brought five with me to CA and I miss my t-shirts…a lot.
Where did you get the MSU Farming T-Shirts? I’ve been looking for a long time, please help. Thanks…
They’ve been redesigned, but you can get them at the bookstore next to the Peanut Barrel on Grand River. That’s the only place I’ve ever seen them.
