In-depth and Personal

So I got tagged in one of those facebook notes that your friends all write up and then expect you to write something too. I admit, when it's late and I can't sleep, sometimes those things are able to help. So here’s the one that I am expected to write;

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

A little weird, right? Well, whatever. I have nothing better to do unless you count the things that I should be doing but that I don’t want to do. See the difference here? Anyways, here goes.

1. Even though I am 21 years of age, I still sleep with a teddy bear. Actually, there are three of them on the bed at all times. One is my old teddy from when I was little, and the other two are from sorority outings to build-a-bear. Honestly, though, there really isn’t anywhere else that they can go in my extremely small room anyways.

2. I can talk myself out of going to class so easily I’m pretty sure that I could teach a class on it. Of course, I would have to make myself go to class to teach. I’m thinking that there may be a vicious cycle here if I tried…

3. I want to work in the publishing world. What I really want to do it write best sellers, but I would settle for discovering them instead.

4. I get cold really easily and yet I have hot flashes.

5. I wish that I had a blackberry so that I could text people easier. Also, I think that there’s some small part of me who just wants to follow the trend of them. Actually, what I would really like is a sidekick but they’re only available in the states.

6. I’m so addicted to buying books and movies that I sometimes never even touch after buying them. It’s a bad habit but it’s a sort of compulsion to buy them; like a kleptomaniac needs to steal stuff. Of course, if I was klepto too, my bank account would be a lot fuller.

7. I’m often scared that I will never fall in love. This being said, never having sex, and dieing a virgin. Seeing uglier people than myself in relationships gives me a little hope, but then I wonder if they just settled?

8. I hate peas.

9. I think that David Bowie is super sexy. Especially in Labyrinth.

10. I often wish that I was a vampire. Seriously, though. I would be able to live forever, make tons of money, stay 21 forever, and be able to go back to school as many times as I wanted. Plus, I have the sun anyways and would rather sleep during the day, so it all would work out. And I’m sure that I would be able to live on bagged blood. Or I could just go out to the bar every night and give really good ‘hickeys’. Vampires always seem to be drop dead gorgeous too, so that would be a definite plus.

11. If I couldn’t be a vampire I would want to be a werewolf. They are seriously cool too.

12. I have a literary crush on Jacob Black – but only after he ages 10 years overnight. Otherwise that would be just wrong. I also have a literary crush on many characters from the Harry Potter world; like Fred and George… though they’re good looking in real life too.

13. I love black licorice.

14. Even though I am an only child, I have some amazing sisters.

15. I’m about to become an aunt from one of said sisters. She’s about to have a little boy named Aiden!

16. I, like Mel, want to live in Halloweentown with Jack and Sally.

17. I like to shower with the door open so that the moisture and heat can get into my apartment. It’s excruciatingly cold in my apartment and really dry too. So this definitely helps.

18. I love dresses but I hate to wear them in public because I don’t like to show off my legs; I think that they’re really fat and ugly. What I wouldn’t give to have skinnier legs…

19. In general, I would like to be thinner. This is something that I could probably do but it would require going to the gym; a place where I feel incredibly out of place when there are really in-shape people all around me. I would also have to eat more vegetables, but I really dislike a lot of those.

20. My eyes can turn a really weird shade of yellow.

21. It takes a lot to get my really angry, but when it happens I’m considered to be incredibly scary. The moral of the story is: don’t anger me.

22. I really don’t like to shave my legs, which is why I get them waxed. Of course, this resulted in getting a Christmas gift from Scott one year which consisted of disposable razors. Funny thing was, though I never used them, the fact that they were in my locker for the rest of the year really came in handy for other girls who needed one when they forgot to shave.

23. I have a very vulgar vocabulary and when the situation arises I think nothing of using words that other would never even mutter. The fact that you can use these words as nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs gives a lot of freedom to the context too.

24. I want to be able to work from home when I’m older and have a family for several reasons. First, so that I can sleep until whenever the hell I want. And second, so that if I have children, I can spend actual time with them. Sappy, I know, but it’s what I want in life. Along with the Victorian manor, handsome husband, and Doberman guard dog.

25. In the time that it took me to write this, I should have been showering, printing off my writing assignment – which I have to edit first – or sleeping so that I can get a decent number of hours of sleep for once.
