It seems people really like to read these 25 things lists, me included. Here’s a list I compiled of 25 things you never knew about Jenny Frazier. Or maybe you did. And in that case, sorry for the repetition.

1.) I say my favorite colors in the whole wide world are “teal paired with chocolate brown accented with lime green.” But what I REALLY want to say is “Pantone 322 paired with Pantone 4975 and accented with Pantone 583″ but that would just make me sound weird.

2.) I love black licorice. Always have. As a child I used to be the freak who would pick all the black jelly beans out of the mix. Surprisingly, no one complained.

3.) I started drinking (sneaking) coffee when I was 4. No I’m not kidding.

4.) Despite the fact that I was told I was the “most qualified candidate” for a job, I was also told I did not get it because of my relationship with Britney Spears. And yes, every word of that is true. I don’t blame her though. She’s got her own problems to deal with …

5.) I had a permanent retainer in Kindergarten to correct my under bite. It gave me a horrible lisp and all the kids made fun of me, so I ripped out of my mouth. To this day I have a scar on my tongue from it. Sometimes I tell people it was from a tongue ring because somehow that seems more … normal.

6.) I’ve never actually had a tongue piercing. Sadly, I still have my navel ring. But am thinking of taking it out. Except I don’t want a weird hole/scar there either. (Any youngins who read this – don’t do it. It’s not as cool when you’re 29 and faced with “piece of stupid jewelry” or “weird ugly hole”.) (Jenny’s Note: I did in fact take out the ring in early 2010. I still maintain that it was a stupid 18 year old decision.)

7.) After the retainer incident in my early years, I obviously had to go back in for braces. Which I had for 3.5 years. I was told last year that I need braces again. After a hearty “HELLZ NO.” I opted for a retainer instead. I wear it every night.

8.) I love the taste of (silver) tequila. I drink it on ice, splash of club soda, and with a lime. That, my friends, is called a “Cheech”. I used to drink it with tonic and called it a “Patronic” (Patron + tonic). I don’t know where “Cheech” came from.

9.) I’m fairly certain I could live on: slabs of raw salmon, avocados, heirloom tomatoes, celery, french fries and brie. They are my favorite foods ever.

10.) I had a double hernia operation. In 1983. When I was 2. I’m still unsure how a 2 year old ends up with a double hernia.

11.) I can only put on clothes left limb first. Shirt, left arm first, pants, left leg first, left sock, left shoe, left glove. When saying goodbye to someone or leaving a house/car, I always touch the person/car/house last with my left hand.

12.) HAI. I’m a lefty to a debilitating (OCD?) degree.

13.) I own 17 domains. And actively use only 9 of them.

14.) I played clarinet for 12 years. In 4th grade I made it to 2nd seat in band. In high school I bounced around the first row. Which is hilarious because I am tone deaf.

15.) I have a “type”. I’ve written about my type and illustrated by listing my current crushes.

16.) My favorite book in the world is East of Eden.

17.) My bedroom, my studio, my websites, and my business cards are all done up in the colors mentioned in #1. I was going to put this fact as #2 but I thought that would make me seem somehow even weirder.

18.) I did not go to school for graphic design. In fact, I have never taken a single graphic design class. And yet, I’m a professional graphic designer. (Should I be admitting this?)

19.) Six years ago I did take one class on TYPE. Which I suppose technically is design. It also revealed a deep dark dirty secret of mine …. I am OBSESSED with typefaces. OBSESSED. I have had several hour long conversations about FONTS. (For those of you that care or get it, yes I do in fact LOVE Helvetica.)

20.) If you come near me with Papyrus font, I will cut you. It literally makes my skin itchy it’s so ugly. http://papyrus-sucks.com Yeah. That’s one of my 9 active domains. Now that’s HATE.

21.) Recently an ex-boyfriend asked if I ever thought I was born the wrong gender. I was not offended. If you know me in real life, you would know why this is totally plausible.

22.) Jenny is my real name. No it’s not Jennifer. I only allow ONE person in the world to call me Jennifer. A lot of people call me Jen. Sidenote: My father wanted to name me “Jen” and my sister (Kaitlin) “Kate”. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard him actually call us “Jenny” or “Kaitlin”.

23.) I look like my mother, but I act like my father. My sister looks like my father, but acts like my mother. My parents divorced when I was 9, yet me and Kaitlin (their Mini-Mes) are best friends.

24.) I’ve only gotten in one physical fist fight in my life. It was on the playground. I was 7 and I lost miserably. We are friends on Facebook. Hopefully she reads this ;)

25.) My favorite thing in the whole world is brunch. The first week of 2009 I brunched 4 days out of 7. I would like to repeat this in 2010. (Jenny’s Note: I did NOT brunch remotely close to this at the beginning of 2010. But brunch is still my favorite meal.)
