So in lieu of an actual blog entry (because I have a few big ones to write) I figured I'd take a crack at this.
There's this thing on the internet concerning a list of 100 things about yourself. How can you really have that many things to tell....and on the internet?
Well considering that blogs are always sharing lots of information, usually about oneself......I guess there is a hell of a lot to say. So...here's my list:
1) I'm a treehugger. Both literally and figuratively.
2) I'm also a writer. Which makes it hard to be a figurative treehugger when I'm killing so many of them with my notebooks and printer paper.
3) I am an only child.
4) My closest friends are like family.
5) I would do anything for them and for my biological family.
6) I have arachnophobia.
7) The proudest day of my life was graduating cum laude from college just over a year ago. Four years after being told by my math teacher/senior project panel that I wasn't going to get anywhere in the world with my work ethic and attitude. HAH
8) My college became my home....and I'm still trying to figure out where home is now.
9) I love real big. Even after getting torn open.
10) My cat is the most lovable cat in the world.
11) I hate math. Like seriously.
12) I can't divide without a calculator. Just don't even ask.
13) And fractions are a nightmare.
14) I used to leave plastic snakes lying around my grandparents house for my grandma to find as a prank.
15) I trust people a lot less than they think I do.....and a lot less than I think I do.
16) I'm still terrified of driving.
17) In anxious moments, I sometimes pretend I'm someone else. Like I'm an actress playing a role because it's easier to be someone else than myself.
18) Audrey Hepburn is my role model.
19) Sometimes I try to channel her awesomeness when I'm in social interactions.
20) The only reason I ever wear sunglasses is to keep me from panicking in public. If my eyes are shaded, I feel better. Kinda like that kid on Big Daddy.
21) I have anxiety.....which has gotten worse over the past couple years.
22) An anxiety attack sometimes feels like it comes out of nowhere for no reason. Which is more frustrating than any that I know the cause of.
23) I try to keep it on the downlow a lot because I don't like dealing with anyone's reactions.
24) I'm double-jointed in my elbows.
25) And that is something that freaks people out when I show them.
26) I'm German, Italian, Irish, English and Dutch. And possibly Scottish.....not sure about that one. I like to call myself a patchwork quilt.
27) I really want to travel all over Europe.
28) Especially England. I absolutely love just about everything about England.
29) Including Doctor Who.
30) I have a crush on David Tennant.
31) I'm going to Bonaroo in June......and I'm so freaking excited to get to be a hippie and hear amazing music with one of my besties for 4 days.
32) I used to feel like I was born in the wrong era.
33) When I was younger, I had an easier time talking with adults or running around with smaller kids then socializing with anyone my age.
34) I always felt like kids my age were more likely to be judging me than anyone younger or older.
35) My aunt told me I was socially retarded as a child because I didn't get to play with kids outside of school.
36) I'm still trying to not be offended by that.
37) College cured me of the fear that I couldn't relate to anyone my age.
38) I cry almost every time I hear Innocence by Avril Lavigne.
39) I hate movies that make me cry.
40) I just really don't like crying in general.
41) I hate saying goodbye. Partly because that usually means I'm bawling but mostly because I miss people. A LOT. And I always have this little fear that I'm never going to see them again.
42) I worry. A LOT. About damn near everything and everyone.
43) I used to pretend my dad's battery tester was an EMF device because I wanted to be a Ghostbuster.
44) Ghosthunters is one of my favorite shows.....and I'm horribly upset that Grant is leaving.
45) I'm creeped out by ghosts but I love going ghosthunting with my best friends.
46) I'm still scared of the dark.
47) I sleep with stuffed animals.
48) Most of them make a wall around the crack between my bed and the wall.
49) I'm not comfortable sleeping unless a bed is against a wall.
50) I usually need a light on.
51) I sleep with my bedroom door open.
52) The closet door must be shut.
53) I'm paranoid
54) So that means I know how to survive any natural disaster.
55) I also know how to get out of a locked trunk, escape a kidnapping, and incapacitate someone trying to grab/hurt me.
56) I'd like to learn more about self-defense
57) I've been teaching myself the Thriller dance
58) Even though I can't stand zombies. Like at all.
59) This is mostly due to watching Dawn of The Dead which terrified the shit out of me.
60) When I was a kid, I was convinced that Dracula lived in my closet.
61) I was also confused about vampire myth and thought that he hated light of any kind. As did ghosts, zombies and the boogeyman. Hence, why I slept with a nightlight.
62) I love vampires now. Especially on Moonlight, True Blood and Underworld.
63) The Haunting In Connecticut is the most terrifying movie I've ever seen. Seriously.
64) I slept with the light on for like 2 months after watching it.
65) I'm still terrified of dumb waiters.
66) I'm absolutely scared of opening my eyes at night and finding something right up in my face, looking back at me.
67) I also don't like looking out of windows at night for the very same reason.
68) I should probably stop watching so many horror movies.
69) My favorite movies ever are the Back to the Future trilogy.
70) I can quote them. Sometimes verbatim. But usually right along with the characters. Which probably annoys anyone watching them with me, but I haven't heard any complaints yet.
71) My first celebrity crush ever was on Michael J. Fox
72) Christopher Lloyd is one of my favorite actors.
73) Even though I don't really like Death of a Salesman, I bought tickets to see it because Christopher Lloyd was playing Willy Loman. Yep...I'm a nerd.
74) I was in the front row with my mom.......and at one point, Christopher Lloyd accidentally spit in my direction. I was more in awe than disgusted. Which says a hell of a lot since spit usually really grosses me out.
75) I think I might be a fangirl.
76) I'm a major history geek.
77) I prefer pirates. Sorry, ya bloody ninjas!
78) One of my favorite time periods to study is the Revolutionary War.
79) Which just makes my move to Massachusetts even better.
80) One of my heroes is Benjamin Franklin.
81) The last time I was in Boston for a field trip, it was to go on the Freedom Trail.
82) I want to go again because I'll be a hell of a lot more impressed than I was at 11 years old.
83) The last time I was in Boston at all was to go to the Monster Ball.
84) Why yes, I am a Little Monster. I admire Gaga but I'm not toooootally gaga over her.
85) I like puns. Like, a lot.
86) And double entendres. I absolutely looooooove double entendres.
87) Which might be a reason why I like reading Shakespeare.
88) My favorite author ever is Meg Cabot. I reaaaaaaaaaally want to meet her someday.
89) But I also love Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, Howard Frank Mosher, Garrison Keillor, and J.K. Rowling.
90) I write a LOT of poetry.
91) Lately, I've been working on spoken word poetry. Just because I want to know I can do it.
92) I watch spoken word videos on Youtube....mainly Sarah Kay, Rudy Francisco and Dej Jam Poetry.
93) I have a lot of stories to finish writing.
94) I talk to my characters sometimes. I'm hoping this isn't a sign of mental illness.
95) I had imaginary friends until I was 12.
96) I was a pretty lonely kid.....which was probably why those imaginary friends stuck around so long.
97) When I'm really sad or upset, one of three movies makes me feel better: Tangled, When Harry Met Sally and Pride and Prejudice (the 2005 version with Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyn).
98) If I break out Sound of Music or some other musical instead, I either am really in the mood for songs.......or I am extremely down in the dumps.
99) Sometimes I wish life was more like a musical.
100) I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and take it's advice into my own life's issues.
