50 things you probably don't care to know about me

1. if i'm not wearing dark nail polish, i don't feel like myself.

2. i hate writing in blue ink.

3. i can sometimes come off as a know-it-all. but that might be because i know it all.

4. i give the world's best advice. i just don't take any of it.

5. i'm extremely patient, almost to a fault. on the inside, i'm seething, but you'd never know it.

6. my most prized possessions are my journals. my life has been chronicled since i was 8 years old. i'd write a memoir if any of it was remotely interesting.

7. i'm an excellent judge of character. i know within seconds if i'll like someone or not. but i always give people the chance to prove me wrong. it's rare that they do.

8. i appreciate someone that can keep me on my toes. it's not easy to do that.

9. i will drop whatever i'm doing for sam, laura, or robert. i do not exist without them. if they called me at 3:00 am in need of a sponge, it would be there by 3:15.

10. if you are someone that i ever called a friend, even if we are bitter enemies now, you can guarantee that i'd do what i can to help you out anyway.

11. no matter how many pairs of socks or hair ties i buy, i'm constantly in need of more.

12. i am the most organized person in the world...on paper. in reality, not so much.

13. i'm obsessed with tea. no sugar, no cream, no honey. just plain.

14. i'm always curious to know why people choose to be my friend.

15. you know i'm intoxicated if i tell you how straight of a line i can walk.

16. my favorite color, song, and movie change so often that it's impossible to keep track.

17. my favorite flower is a lilac. it was my grandmother's too.

18. i don't like when people give me presents. i know a lot of people say that and don't mean it, but i mean it. i like to buy things for myself when i want them.

19. i don't like reality TV, at all. except for 'keeping up with kardashians,' i was sucked into that recently and i wish i could stop watching, but i can't!

20. i've seen eve6 live 8 times. they've never disappointed me with a show.

21. the most listened to song on my itunes is incubus "wish you were here," although i rarely am thinking about anyone in particular when i listen to it.

22. i don't care about sports. i'll watch them if i'm with other people who are watching it, but i don't care to pay attention. i'm not the type of girl to pretend to be interested just so the guys think she's cool. i just don't care. but i won't fuss either.

23. it would be impossible to date me if you don't like my family. it's almost impossible to date me in the first place, but if you can't hang out with them then there's just no way. i'm with them too often.

24. i get very annoyed if someone doesn't respond to a text or a message.

25. samoas are my favorite girl scout cookie. i don't understand people who like thin mints.

26. i pee more than a normal person should. if i pee less than 15 times a day, i'm worried.

27. i have to q-tip my ears immediately after a shower or i start panicking.

28. my totally unrealistic dream car is a lamborghini murcielago. i'm also dying for a toyota rav4. makes sense to me.

29. i don't particularly love or hate any season. i'm grateful for every day that i'm alive, regardless of temperature.

30. i am incapable of being mean. even if i don't like you, you won't know it. it's not me being fake, either. it's called being nice. being fake is pretending i'm your best friend when i secretly have a voodoo doll of you in my closet. being nice is tolerating your existence.

31. i know a fair amount about fashion and designers, although you'd never know it from the way i dress.

32. i am unnaturally excited by office supplies. i feel physical relief when i walk into staples or office max.

33. it is impossible for me to go into target or wal*mart without spending $50 or more, even if i only went in for a pack of gum.

34. i can bake AND cook, not just one or the other.

35. i'm always happy when different groups of my friends like each other, because since i never have time to see anyone, it's awfully convenient to have them all in the same place.

36. my favorite numbers are 4 and 6. shouldn't take a genius to figure out why.

37. before i became a vegetarian, the people at charley's subs in the mall would have my order on the grill before i even walked over to the counter. i never knew whether to be pleased or embarrassed about that.

38. i don't dream of getting married or having kids, but i'm not opposed to the idea either.

39. if i ever get engaged, i hope it's cute like in 'the count of monte cristo,' where he ties a string around his ring finger and one around hers, until he can afford a nice ring. except i'm not a fan of diamonds. i'd rather keep the string.

40. i will repeatedly fail at something before i ask for help. i'm exceedingly proud.

41. if i had one superpower, it'd be the power to heal.

42. a part of me died inside when they closed funstation. now it's hard to find an excuse to go rollerblading.

43. no place i've ever lived has felt like "home" to me. wherever sam, laura, and robert are is my home.

44. jayden, audrey, kaleb, and cami are the cutest kids on this planet. there is no arguing that point with me. i cannot even begin to describe how many times their smiles have saved me.

45. even though my family and friends have more drama than a tabloid magazine, it's comforting to know that they always have my back. even if they talk about me behind it afterwards :) (i type that with a smile!)

46. some people say that i'm very intimidating at first. this is probably true. but if you know me, you know i'm a big puddle of mush on the inside.

47. i hate it if i'm awake and other people are sleeping. i used to give my mom dirty looks when she took naps.

48. there is no one on this planet more infuriating than my father. there is also no one on the planet who's approval i seek more.

49. i've always wanted to visit rome (i took latin for 7 years!) but i'm too terrified to fly. the last time i flew will be the last time!

50. i have one goal in life-to live it happily. i don't care about money, success, prestige, any of that. i don't care if i get a fancy box to lay in. all i care about are the people who will be around it.
