Things you didn't know about me

I suspect most of the people who read my blog are my friends and family, but there still may be things about you don't know. Here are a few of the most interesting:

1. No matter where I get the glass from, I always blow inside of it to "clear the dust out". At least that's what I tell people. Honestly, I don't know why I do it.

2. I used to suck my thumb. This lasted until I was 8 or 9, possibly even longer.

3. Although I love being a teacher, I'm not such a fan of discussing teaching ad nauseum outside of the workplace. Have you ever noticed that all a group of teachers seem to talk about is teaching? Really, is this necessary?

4. I LOVE going Christmas shopping. Don't get me wrong, spending money I don't have and getting sore feet from walking the mall doesn't do much for me, but I LOVE finding the right gift for the right person. I like to think I'm pretty good at it too.

5. I'm addicted to e-mail. I check my e-mail (I have 5 accounts, but only use 3) obsessively. Seriously, I probably check my e-mail at least 5 times a day, if not more. I love finding new mail in my inbox, and I get sad when I check my e-mail and there's nothing there.

6. I wish my hair were a different colour (either dark brown or red), but I'm too lazy to dye my hair and keep it up.

7. I really like Brad and Angelina together. I don't really like Jennifer Aniston, though I like all her movies and love watching Friends. I just figure that if Brad is happy with Angelina and Angelina is happy with Brad, they should just go for it.

8. My favourite colour is pink. For a long time it used to be purple, but that changed when I started buying a lot of pink clothing. A lot of you might be thinking, "duh, I already knew that Kim!" What you may not have known is that I didn't even realize my favourite colour had become pink until one of my students asked me one day "if you're favourite colour is purple then why do you wear so much pink?"

9. I get really, really agravated when people say "I'm sorry". I think this is because my students are constantly goofing off and/or breaking the rules and then trying to say "I'm sorry" as though that will fix everything. I'd WAY rather have them do the right thing so that they wouldn't have to apologize in the first place. I honestly think "I'm sorry" are the most overused words in English.

10. I used to love watching the soap opera "Another World". I really miss it now that it's gone off the air. I don't really watch any other soaps anymore 'cause I don't find them that interesting, but if "Another World" came back on the air I'd tape it every day!

So, it's your turn now. What weird and wonderful things don't I know about you?

Amen to #6 sister! (I mean cousin :D)

If I had the nerve, I'd cut my hair short again and go a nice fake-looking red. Fun!

But at least by leaving your hair colour alone, you don't have to buy new clothes to match it.

Wow, I totally didn't think of having to get new clothes to match my hair . . . that actually makes me want to dye it even more :-) I guess with my love of pink, red hair wouldn't be such a good idea :-(
