25 (Boring) Things about me.
This seems to be the latest trend around the net - come up with 25 things about yourself that other people may not know. I've ruminated on this for a few weeks, and have decided to give it a try.
1. It drives me crazy that I am mentally incapable of controlling my weight. My mind is my only interference - I'm physically doing everything I need to do.
2. I have had totally silver hair since I was 35.
3. I was terrified of high school - even though I hung out with a popular crowd I was always afraid they would find out I was a fraud.
4. I married my first husband for fear of being old and single. (I was 22)
5. I left my first husband because I didn't want my daughter to see me become old and miserable.
6. I would like to go back to school and learn everything there is to know about computers and technology.
7. I have published a book of erotic poems. (Approximate Value of Love)
8. I am a fiercely loyal friend.
9. I am afraid of my brother.
10. I have learned more about my father since he passed at age 52, than I ever knew about him while he was alive.
11. I love all animals and can't ever imagine eating one - although I understand why people do and don't fault them for it.
12. My partner is my best friend and confidante, and I should have found him first.
13. I don't lust after material things and nothing that I own matters to me beyond being convenience.
14. I was a terrible mother (at times) but I'm a fantastic grandparent.
15. I wasted way too many years drinking too much wine and looking for escape in a bottle.
16. I'm a hard worker, and put my all into anything I do.
17. I don't like to cook.
18. If I let myself, I could live on corn chips, candy, and bread.
19. I have run a half marathon, and I will run a marathon before I'm 65.
20. Finding exercise has saved me from sinking into the sewer of depression.
21. I admire my sister and wish I could be more like her.
22. I really enjoy 'connecting' with people online - if were as easy to bring so many interesting people into daily life I would do it - but I think we'll have to wait for time travel to do that.
23. My musical tastes move forward - I hate being stuck in a musical rut.
24. I'm addicted to apples. (hate red delicious - all others fair game)
25. I am constantly trying to improve myself through meditation, exercise, reading, blah blah blah - you get the idea.
That wasn't so difficult. Not sure that any of it is relevant - but there you have it.

Great post, I love it's honesty.
I am absolutely addicted to apples, that is non-red delicious, too. I eat many all day, yum, and am sad when I run out.
Red delicious apples suck. Braeburn and Gala are the bomb. Hi Lybbe! I've missed you on sparkpeople.
That doesn't seem like boring stuff to me! I think you're a wee bit hard on yourself though. Cut yourself some slack. :)
I loved this post Lybbe! Thanks for sharing. I think you're the coolest :)
I love your list. Incidentally, I too wholeheartedly agree with the apples. I hate red delicious. Love honey crisp, braeburn, gala, etc.
Your list is raw, honest, and beautiful.
Interesting list. Its no wonder we re friends, we have so much in common.
Looked for your book but couldn't find it.
