100 things about me

9:21 p.m. - 2003-04-01

001. My birthday is April 15, which I love.

002. I love myself, but I see no reason not to. If you can't love yourself, why should anyone else love you? That's an excellent, and very true, saying.

003. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving partly by default, and partly because there isn't a thing about it that I dislike. However, my best friend and I have a wonderful Halloween tradition. We watch Hocus Pocus together, and are not allowed to watch it at any other time during the year. Amazingly enough, we stay true to that.

004. My least favorite holiday is April Fools Day. I want to celebrate the arrival of April, but instead have to be deathly afraid of what might happen to me. Oddly enough I also greatly dislike Halloween. I've only ever had one or two truly fun Halloweens.

005. I have a thing for red roses. There is no better way to put it. I like them when they're so dark that they're almost black. Yum. I also like white roses and black roses. Funnily enough the smell of roses is not my favorite flower smell. It is, in fact, the smell of tuberose. (Complete coincidence that 'rose' is in the name)

006. I like to think that I'm very stubborn. I definitely think that I am very persuasive.

007. I've finally become happy with myself. I don't want to deal with a relationship right now. Unless my two dearest friends count as 'relationships'. I love dealing with them.

008. I very badly want to get married someday. I think that I would make an excellent girlfriend, when I decide to commit myself to that. I think that I will, similarly, make an excellent wife - as long as I don't have to clean.

009. I love dancing. 'Formal' dancing (for lack of a better word). Slow dancing. Tangoing. Waltzing. I also like jumping up and down and making an absolute fool of myself at concerts. That's my other favorite kind of dancing!

010. I highly value honesty because I respect it very much. More than almost anything else.

011. I hate information being withheld from me. I absolutely love knowing everything. I get really suspicious and frustrated when somebody won't tell me something.

012. I hate that I'll (probably) die without knowing everything. That may be the thing that frustrates me most of all. In fact, thinking of death in general freaks me out. I am deathly (no pun intended) afraid of my parents dying.

013. People who have no interest in travel drive me nuts. I don't understand them. I don't respect them. I don't care to be around them.

014. People who are stupid and either a)think they're smart and/or b)have no wish to be less stupid make me angry. I have no respect for them and can't stand being around them.

015. People telling me to 'chill' pisses me off. It is as if they don't respect me enough to take me seriously when something has made me angry.

016. I don't like the word 'chill' used about anything other than food or drinks, but I actually rather like the word when it IS used to refer to those things.

017. I love watching basketball games (live, not on TV). Especially with a good friend who I can spend the whole game giggling with. They are also quite a good place for people watching/criticizing (especially the latter).

018. Football bores me far more than golf does. It is a ridiculous game. If I ever have a son he will probably love football, and I will go insane. I do, however, think that football would be kind of entertaining to watch drunk. I'll have to test that theory someday.

019. Solving a math problem makes me extremely arrogant. I can not believe my brilliance. Not being able to solve a math problem makes me self destructive. I am rarely self destructive.

020. I hate arrogance when it's about outer beauty. I don't mind it so much when it's about intelligence. I don't actually mind people loving themselves, or being proud of themselves. P>

021. I hate being lied to.

022. I always wanted to get my left eyebrow pierced, but then I realized that it would look awful on me. Then I wanted my nose pierced, cause that would look really awesome. Now I don't know what I want. Maybe I don't want anything.

023. I don't like permanence.

024. I don't want a tattoo. Imagining myself old and saggy with a stretched out disgusting tattoo completely turns me off. Getting them removed is supposedly 10 times more painful than getting one in the first place, and I have seen tattoo removals fucked up first hand.

025. I love answering surveys. I feel important. I love feeling important.

026. I hate when I have to lie and I try very hard to avoid having to. I hate nothing more than lying to my parents, and I'm determined not to have to any time soon.

027. I feel guilty about school work very easily. Which is actually counterproductive. Feeling guilty exhausts me, and makes me too tired to accomplish anything.

028. When someone is arrogant about their looks I almost always think that they're ugly.

029. Most people I know need reality checks. I think that it would do everyone a lot of good to be locked up in a room by themselves for 2 weeks.

030. When someone makes me feel stupid I used to automatically take offense at everything else they say. I'm working on stopping that. I think I'm slowly, but surely, improving.

031. I hate being teased.

032. I love humility. It's nearly impossible to hate a humble person.

033. I am an only child, and proud of that fact. Only children are awesome.

034. I dislike big families. I used to dislike them for many reasons, but now I just think that the world is far too overcrowded already. I think that it is therefore rather selfish to have many kids.

035. I refuse to have my blood taken unless it's a matter (or could become a matter) of life and death.

036. You can see the Pacific Ocean from my living room.

037. I love loving myself.

038. I have, in the past, often been attracted to Capricorn guys. I'm not sure why. They usually end up making me angry.

039. I analyze things until I am sure that they no longer need to be analyzed. As long as I think something more could be discovered I continue to analyze.

040. I think that good lips are extremely sexy. I do not like lips that are big or small. I like in between lips that are light pink and very smooth and soft looking. Maybe with the SLIGHTEST bit of glossiness.

041. I think that Scottish, English, Australian, and New Zealand accents are very sexy.

042. I think that partially Italian guys are very hot.

043. I didn't understand ethnicity (beyond black, white, asian, and 'local') until rather late in my childhood. I clasified everyone in one of those very basic categories.

044. I am very jealous of women who are tiny, pale, platinum blonde, and delicate. I am also jealous of stunningly beautiful exotic looking women. Especially Italian and eastern European ones.P>

045. I think that Kate Winslet is very beautiful, and I love her voice. She seems like such a wonderful and real person.

046. I think that Gwen Stefani is very hot when she isn't going through a super skinny phase. I find super skinny extremely unattractive. I like people who are very toned, not very skinny. I find light to medium tans very attractive. (I just squeezed a lot of facts into number 46, didn't I?)

047. Alicia Silverstone's mouth (when she talks) fascinates me.

048. I dislike ungrateful people.

049. I hate when people don't trust me, even when they have reason not to.

050. The color white is my favorite because it is pure, calm, relaxing, and comforting.

051. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the best colors on me are blues (especially ones with green in them because they bring out my eyes). Grays also look good on me. I personally think that blacks look really good too.

052. I love marine biology and the ocean, but I dislike swimming in the ocean (as well as lakes).

053. I love drummers and bass players. If I had a man who could play both, but whose heart is in drumming I would absolutely die. If you can play the drums, or want to play the drums, I love you. I think that regular guitar players are boring. I tend to be prejudiced towards people who play the guitar or keyboard/piano. I will, however, be the first to admit that there are some INCREDIBLE guitarists and pianists.

054. I think that my eyes turn a beautiful color when I cry.

055. I'm very scared of the unknown, but it excites me. I love conquering new things.

056. I love pinstripes and button up shirts. I especially like pin striped button up shirts, red button up shirts, and white button up shirts. Despite it being a cliche, I think that men's white button up shirts look very hot on women.

057. My favorite colors over the years have been red and black (together), pink and black (together), silver, teal, black, red, and white.

058. I greatly prefer tea over coffee. In fact, I never drink coffee unless it is in the mocha form, and rarely even then. I love almost any kind of tea.

059. I love having deep conversations. I wish I could spend a night talking to each person that I find interesting.

060. I believe it is great to live each day as if it were last.

061. I don't live each day as if it were my last because, unfortunately, I'm not always sure what that entails.

062. I think that respect is very important.

063. Feeling chemistry when someone comes near or touches you absolutely fascinates me. I find it hard to believe (and highly unfortunate) that it can be one sided.

064. I think that dramatic and heavenly music suits sunrises, and that slow piano music suits sunsets (as in the moonlight sonata).

065. Observant people have my respect. I strive to be more observant.

066. When the music first starts in the musical 'Rent' I get all shivery and blissful. I melt.

067. My favorite kind of cheese is Boursin. If you've never tried it, go to the store. Right now. Go. Shoo. I am also extremely fond of cow's milk feta. I can eat it plain. I do not, however, like sheep's milk feta. Eew.

068. I don't like swimming in the ocean or lakes, the dark, or death because of my fear of the unknown.

069. I have control issues. They run in my family.

070. I like to know where everyone is and what they're doing at all times.

071. I like to have things planned. I also like to have planned times for spontaneity.

072. I am capable of being spontaneous and relaxed.

073. I have fainted twice. I like fainting as an escape from extreme pain or discomfort.

074. I used to have extremely poor luck, however it has been incredibly good for the past few months. I no longer think of luck, because I have started having such an interesting mix of bad and good luck recently that all of my previous theories about luck have been shot.

075. I don't like the word 'faith'.

076. I enjoy jet skiing, although I haven't done it in over a year. I've never skied 'for real'.

077. I completely understand why jet skis make people mad. I strongly believe that they should not be used where they can harm marine life.

078. I think that people take far too much for granted.

079. I want some slightly purplish brown corduroys (like the ones Mark wears in Rent.. only, obviously, cut differently).

080. I wanted a NYC skyline shirt for years. Soon after I finally got one (with the WTC on it) Sep 11th happened and I feel like I can no longer wear it because people assume I'm wearing it for reasons other than I am. I am now in search of one of the following shirts: a CBGB shirt, a FCUK shirt, a black J'Adore Dior shirt with the writing in white.

081. I have wanted black boots for years. I finally got some suede ones, and I am extremely proud of them, even though I rarely have chances to wear them.

082. I used to be deathly afraid of singing in front of everyone, even my best friends. I have now come to greatly enjoy singing with my best friend.

083. I love the TV shows 'What Not to Wear' and 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'. Excellent.

084. Reality is an important thing to consider once in a while.

085. I think that many 'Beatles' songs are overrated. I respect what they've done, I believe that they've had an INCREDIBLE influence in the world... But that doesn't make all their songs good. Some are just plain lame.

086. Appreciation and positive attention are the keys to my heart. Flattery always helps.

087. I never used to cry at any movies (with the exception of one or two), let alone TV shows, plays, etc. Commercial can make me sob now.

088. I am not cynical in the standard meaning of the word. I used to be very cynical. I now think that being cynical, and more so limiting yourself to it, is a waist of time.

089. I have milked a cow before. Several times. I have also eaten crocodile. And caviar. Not to mention many various forms of seafood. (that was random)

090. I've lived in the same house my entire life.

091. I wish I knew when I should take a risk, and when I shouldn't. But then, it wouldn't be risky, would it? I have recently begun doing things when want to. When I think I will benefit from them. To hell with silly minor fears. I also think that it is horrible to feel pressured into doing something that you don't want to. Horrible.

092. I used to cry whenever people would sing Happy Birthday to me.

093. I used to HATE people taking pictures taken of me. Now I love it, as long as I get copies of the pictures. It creeps me out to think of somebody having pictures of me that I have never seen. I rarely ask somebody to take a picture of me, but that doesn't mean that I don't love it when they do.

094. I love taking pictures. I love being complimented on pictures that I have taken.

095. I think that middle school SUCKS.

096. I was a cheerleader for a couple days in 6th grade.

097. People thinking brunettes are smarter (and more serious) than blondes (when I know otherwise) has made me rather prejudiced against brunettes. I feel bad about that.

098. I dyed my hair several times. I badly want to dye my hair again, because I think I look prettiest when it is that color. I am not allowing myself to dye my hair for the same reason. I will try not to allow myself to dye my hair until I have entirely come to peace with it being the color that it naturally is. I do, however, badly want to cut it.

099. I think that the only pet I could ever handle on my own would be a fish.

100. Unrequited love is one of the worst (if not the worst) feelings in the world. However, you'll never find real love until you love yourself. (I'm quoting Rent, if you didn't know)
