25 Random Things about Crimson

It seems that life has been extremely hectic for all of the Snarky Apples lately. I am actually supremely thankful for the ease of this post. It seems that I can't slow down lately - there's always something to do, somewhere to go, someone to... hang out with. So, here it is, world. What you've always wanted to know about me.

1. I have an aversion to actually reading recipes. I'll glance at them for ideas, but prefer to rummage through the fridge for ingredients that match and measure amounts with my hands and by glugs. (The results can range from exquisite to awful to odd.)

2. I cry easily at anything that conveys happiness, sadness, love or loss - films, books, plays, advertisements, you name it.

3.  My highest function time of day is between the hours of 3pm and 10pm especially if I've had a nap around 2.

4.  Being naked out in nature really turns me on. Even thinking about it does...

5.  Yoga is my happy place.

6.  My favorite gemstone is aquamarine. It's beautiful and looks great with my skin tone, but is much less expensive than a diamond.

7.  I adore family heirlooms, old letters, faded pictures and things with stories. One time, I bought a whole shoebox full of other people's family photos because I wanted to get to know them. I made up something about each one.

8.  I didn't orgasm from penetration until just a few years ago. I just wasn't able to relax and connect with my emotions. Now that I'm with a man I love, I don't think I stop orgasming during sex. It's simply amazing.

9.  Although I hated my hair as a child, I now love being a redhead and take as much advantage of it as possible.

10.  In 9th grade, I wanted to be an actress or a marine biologist.

11.  I'm slightly obsessed with moisturizer and chapstick.

12.  I'm only ticklish with people I love.

13.  I adore lilacs. The smell makes me giddy.

14.  I'm not afraid of snakes, spiders or mice. Cockroaches give me the hebegebes, but I won't shrink from stomping one.

15.  Taking baths is an extreme pleasure for me and I take one almost every night in the winter.

16.  I seriously believe that jogging on pavement is bad for you.

17.  Sushi is one of my favorite foods, but I hate the taste and smell of cooked fish.

18.  My imagination is way too vivid for me to watch horror movies. Even after the cheesiest, I end up sleeping with a knife next to my bed for weeks.

19.  I completely distrust monkeys.

20.  I hate cleaning and hire others to do it for me. I call it helping the economy, but really I can't live without it.

21.  I had no rhythm for dancing until I was close to 20 when I stopped caring what others thought.

22.  Herbal tea rather than coffee. Champagne above all else.

23.  I can't stand the taste of water and will go out of my way to put something in it to add flavor.

24.  Give me a head massage and I'll fall instantly under your control.

25.  It took me a long time to understand what friendship was. I didn't understand that people actually cared and that they wanted to share both the good and the bad with me. I have finally learned how to feel real love for my friends and think I'm the luckiest person in the world.

Well, there's the lot of us. Little tasty tidbits about each of the Snarky Apples. We're a great spectrum of niceties and neuroses. I hope that knowing a few of the details will make our posts even more enjoyable.
