17 Random Things
I think it's the weird, the wacky, and the wonderful that help people find a connection. Since you don't know me, I'd like to give you a glimpse of the real Amy. I've written down 17 random things, in no particular order, that give you a sense of different aspects of my personality and overall character. An ability to read between the lines will make some points more telling than others. I hope you find at least one thing on here interesting or helpful, or that it simply resonates with you for a reason I could never guess. After all, isn't it often the random stuff that connects us?
1. I made Julia Child's 90th birthday cake.
2. I will be a fan of every Detroit sports team until the day I die. Because they're the best? No. Because I believe that no matter where you call home as an adult, you should always cheer on your childhood team.
3. Sandwiches are the world's most perfect food.
4. I prefer an old-fashion, accordion-style map for road trips over my phone, And I can't use the camera on my tailgate when parallel parking or I'll end up on the curb.
5. It's a rare day that I buy anything new.
6. I won't hesitate to drive five miles out of the way to save two cents a gallon on gas.
7. I'm a lover of good writing, especially quality journalism. And I've had crush on Tom Brokaw since I was 12 years old.
8. My favorite word: kumquat My least favorite word: moist.
9. I'm never bored. I mean honestly, who has time to be bored?
10. I like black and white movies, live jazz performances, and vintage cars that have been lovingly maintained.
11. I'm a big fan of the serial comma, the use of semicolons, and alliteration.
12. I go out of my way to say mean things to politicians.
13. My favorite music is complete silence.
14. I've been in 31 of the 50 states and plan to hit them all right after my trip to Antartica via New Zealand.
15. I'm buddhist.
16. I actually know what gluten is and I'm an advocate. (Again, the sandwich thing.)
17. Of all the amazing things I've ever tried, making my own salt from water I pulled from the Pacific Ocean after a diving trip with my husband is by far the craziest. But it worked!
