I've seen the kids on Facebook doing it, so I'm going to write my list here. Here are 25 things you may not know about me:

When I was little, I was scared to death of the car wash. We're talking screaming and crying levels of scared.
I played the piano from the ages of 7 to 18. I was never really any good....probably because I wanted a pony and not a piano.
I'm a research nerd. Whenever I find something I like, I have to know everything about it and this has resulted in amazing search skills. ;)
In my entire life, I've only had two boyfriends; I married the second one.
I always joked about getting a job on Wall St when I was in college. I never thought it would actually happen.
I saw "Say Anything..." for the first time when I was 12 years old. It was the movie that made me want to fall in love with someone.
As a kid, I was far more interested in Nintendo than the dolls I owned. As an adult, this has become the opposite.
I wanted to become a doctor, but I ended up changing my mind at college registration.
I have no sense of compass direction. I yell at Dan when he says things like, "go north".
When I first met my now husband, it was on the internet, we were 15, and we hated each other.
I still love to watch reruns of Dawson's Creek.
I hated math in elementary, middle, and high school. It wasn't until I went to college that I discovered a love for the stuff.
I stepped on James Lipton's (that guy who hosts "In the Actor's Studio") foot trying to meet Will Ferrell at a cocktail party. I missed my chance because I was busy apologizing to Mr. Lipton.
I hate surprises and rarely deal well with them.
I try to do one good deed a day. Some days are harder than others...
I've lived in New York for almost six years and I've never been to the Statue of Liberty.
I once watched the movie Labyrinth 10 times in a row. I think I was eight years old when I did that.
I cry like crazy whenever I watch the episode of Doctor Who entitled "Doomsday". It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I always cry.
At the first horror convention I ever went to, I briefly walked around and made conversation with the only other person I could find who wasn't dressed as his/her favorite character. Later that day, I found out that he was the guy who played Jason in Friday the 13th Part II.
Two years ago, I spent 7 hours on MTV for the Human Giant Marathon. It was equal parts awesome and exhausting.
I watch more British television than American anymore.
I moved away from home over 6 years ago, but I still talk to my parents almost every day.
I have a tendency to get flustered easily over certain things...I'm working on that.
I was in a movie with Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek when I was 17 months old. It all transpired because my parents were bored while vacationing in Mexico, and auditioning for a film sounded entertaining.
I secretly still want that pony mentioned in item #2.
