so jami tagged me about 2 months ago and i'm just now giving you the weird, the ugly, and the ridiculous. don't judge me too harshly after you hear these shocking truths!
1. coffee sometimes makes me tired.
so back in the day when i'd pull all-nighters...or two-hourers...i would rush off to school the next morning with burning eyes and a foggy head, stop by the gas station to grab one of those 'so gross their good' cappuccinos and experience severe fatigue pains the rest of the day. so i know this can be contributed to lack of sleep, but i always found that if i skipped the coffee after similar nights, i would be able to make it through the day so much easier and with a lot more energy! strange, i know.
2. i am not a natural born leader....at all!
while most people dream of getting out of their jobs so they can someday be their own boss and in a place of authority, i dream of having a job where i can simply do what i'm told. i was talking with a friend one night, and she was saying that even though she'd rather be in a position of authority being in a lower position at work is a really good learning experience for her because someday this experience will help make her a better boss. i said that my experience as a boss is great for me because someday when i am able to have a job under someone (like i would rather) it will help make me a better employee.
3. (now brace yourselves) i don't like to shower!!!
showering always sounds like a pain to me. to have to get undressed and shower and dry off and do your hair...ugh! i'd rather just get up and go, or at night just go to bed. it takes so much time (because i 'm slow, remember?) and i just don't ever feel like it. the sad part is that i often give into these lazy urges and skip my shower! are you all entirely grossed out? here's the deal. i rarely sweat or smell, my skin is really dry, not oily, and my hair is even dryer! this means that i can go almost a week with out washing my hair (i said washing my hair, not showering. i never go that long!) plus since my skin is dry, usually showering just leaves me feeling even more dry and flaking. (nice imagery, eh) i know i can use lotion, and i do, but then it runs out so fast and it takes me weeks before i remember to get more. do i sound really irresponsible and lazy? cause i am.
4. i used to like n-sync!
frankly this is more shameful to me than not showering! but it was brief... like a few months brief when they first came out.
5. i've cried on every harry potter book
there's something about harry's character that reminds me of myself in all the worst ways. the way he gets so upset at dumbledor and thinks he doesn't care, even though deep down he knows he does and how he's so selfish sometimes and wants to do what's right, but his temper or self-centeredness gets in the way...it so often makes me think of my own life. and then at the end of each book when dumbledor explains how he understands and was watching all along, and is proud of harry even though he totally blew it in so many respects, i'm reminded at my own relationship with my God. and somehow, without ever being prepared for it i find myself in tears...or fighting them back because i'm in borders and don't want anyone seeing me cry over harry potter!
6. my greatest fear is that i will someday look back at my life and be bored
this definitely explains why i get so restless in life or wish i was somewhere else doing something great. but then i always think of george bailey and how he wanted to go off and do great things, but had to stay where he was and ended up doing greater things for those around him than he could have ever done traveling all over the world like he planned. that always makes me feel better.
7. (drum roll please) i looovvvveeee cottage cheese
i can't help it. sometimes my dinner consists of about a half container of this stuff...and that's it. really disturbing when you think of it as curdled milk....gross. but i just love it. however if you ever add anything, like honey or fruit...count me out! i won't go near it. don't mess with perfection, says i.
