25 Things About Me
February 4, 2009Erin 2 Comments »It’s a meme! Crossposted from my Facebook for maximum efficiency, and because I can’t think of another 25 things for the blog!
I’m not going to tag anyone, but feel free to either post on your blog or in my comments 25 interesting facts about yourself. 
1. I have been to 15 states but only 4 provinces.
2. Dogs used to own my heart but the past year and a half have shown me the awesomeness of cats.
3. I am extremely loyal until my trust is broken. After that, nothing will ever be the same.
4. I was asked tonight if I imagined myself to be where I am at age 29. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I am very satisfied with where I have been and where I am going. I feel like I am on track.
5. My favourite colour is blue. And pink. And purple. What, I can’t have more than one?
6. I used to do martial arts and I was pretty damn good.
7. Then I tore my ACL, which hopefully will be repaired this month.
8. I don’t want to go back to martial arts, but I am eagerly awaiting the day I can do yoga again.
9. I crave salt and carbs all the time.
10. Because I practise HAES and intuitive eating, I more often than not indulge my cravings.
11. I have been experimenting more with cooking and I love it.
12. I have a humanities and philosophy degree from SFU. I really miss philosophy.
13. My middle name is Frances. I was named after my Mum’s favourite sister.
14. I am a feminist.
15. The only man I’ve wanted to marry was married to someone else at the time. Hello Alanis and your irony…
16. I’ve been to Europe three times and it isn’t enough.
17. I know how to shoot a gun, and I’m not half bad.
18. I’m an atheist who is very interested in faith.
19. I must live with mountains and water. Anywhere else makes my soul whither.
20. I have no piercings and no tattoos, and very rarely wear jewelry.
21. I have no idea what my hair looks like in its natural shade.
22. I’m left-handed.
23. I own a 40″ LCD tv that is collecting dust in my living room because I can’t connect it to my cable.
24. I will own real estate before very much time goes by.
25. I plan to be retired at 40. No, I’m not kidding. Want to join me?

Okay, how do you plan on being retired at 40? Do you have some kind of internet marketing spam thing set up with that as your lead-in?
Great list! I’m addicted to reading these lists, and I always feel closer to someone after reading them.

*lol* Nope, no internet marketing spam. I’m a financial planner with a company that is the fastest growing independent broker in Canada, and I have a 10 year plan that will see me making over $1M a year.
I figure, even if I only get one-quarter of the way there, I’m still making $250K a year, and I can pretty much stop working at that point, because so much of my income will be residual that I will no longer need to personally produce.
It’s really exciting.
