"So back off and have the good grace to give me a little bit of space to coordinate these things at which I'm maybe one of the best. I say it's not just about you. Ultimately, it's about me." --Ridley Scott

Things you probably know, but it's always fun to recap

• I am:
  • a woman. I've even taken TheSpark's gender test to be certain.
  • from Ohio. No, really, I'm serious.
  • a Gemini.
  • Aarika. It's my parents' double-a version of "Erica" or "Erika." Pronounced the same way and the meaning is honorable ruler
  
  
• I have a deeply serious addiction to Pepsi.
• I am just now at the age of 22 starting to understand the genius
  of Stephen King.
• I believe strongly in:
  • knocking on wood for luck,
  • throwing spilt salt over my left shoulder,
  • itchy palms being a sign of money coming my way,
  • not opening umbrellas in the house and
  • saying "god rest their soul" after speaking of the deceased.
• I'll never love baseball like I did when I was ten and had a dozen different ways to organize my baseball cards.
• I know my limits. I know that I can't:
  • skydive,
  • bungee jump,
  • eat earthworms,
  • fall in love with a humorless man,
  • be a size 6,
  • ride in glass elevators or
  • stop talking when I'm in a talking kind of mood.
• Canadians have to work really hard to earn my trust or respect.
• I lack the following organs, for various reasons:
  • tonsils
  • adenoids
  • large intestine
• I can count to forever in French.
• I prefer cats to dogs. And, also, prefer gerbils to cats.
• I can't talk without moving my hands.
• My voice has been confused as being the voice of:
  • my sister
  • my mother
  • my aunt
  • my cousin
  • Death
• My favorite president is Woodrow Wilson. I did a report on him in grade school and had serious reasons as to why he's so great. I'm not really sure what those were.
• I wear glasses because my eyesight, at last check, was 20/200. That means that you could steal my glasses and mug me and I wouldn't be able to identify you if you ran more than five feet from me. But, don't do that.
• I'm taller than every other woman in the entire world. (Not a researched fact.)
• I have a crazily optimistic inner nougat filling that clashes greatly with my cynical outer chocolate coating.
• I will always, always, always speak in metaphors if given half a chance.

Thanks for caring, head on back to my blog for more fun.
