Me: Part II

More facts about me:

• I wrecked my first car, a 1974 Buick Apollo, into a building. I never got to buy those cow print sheets.
  
• I got a speeding ticket in Tennessee because I was going 75mph in a 40mph zone.
  
• I've got most people fooled (unless they are fooling me).
• I love lists.
• I am a terrible friend. The kind who quickly ditches her old friends when she gets new ones.
• I like Demetri Martin, but not Dane Cook.
  
• Monty Python can always make me laugh
• I wish slumber parties didn't become creepy at a certain age.
• I hate barbecue sauce. Seriously.
  

I am kinda neurotic

Soooo...
even though we aren't moving for 6 weeks I already have over half of our things packed. Because of my need to be prepared, I have stowed away all of my large bowls, most of the tupperware, all holiday decorations and most of the photographs that used to be on my wall. I have also created a gigantic stack of boxes that are full of things for my yard sale. Since I am now forced to stare at all of the things I used to love, but what has now become jun, I realize that I am the worst packrat.

I have every pay stub from every job I have ever had. I started working when I was 14. I have broken belts, old envelopes and more books than I know what to do with. And I must say, I love it!

Honestly, it has been fun going down memory lane via my old junk. But now it's time to put the crap to rest. Yes, my friends, I am ready to have a yard sale. I am ready to start fresh.

Sweet Relief

I just submitted my English portfolio which counts as 100% of my grade. It might be sub-par, but hey, it's complete!
My semester is almost over!
Oh, I do love a good exclamation point!

I am also enjoying tasty Diet Mt.Dew. Although it is in an embarrassingly large, 44oz jug from a gas station, I do have to give it credit for the mental boost that helped to get me through the morning.


Thank you.

I should probably be doing something else

Here is what is going on in my life right now (as in today, even).

1. I am buying a house. The offer was accepted. Now I can't back out and I am so incredibly nervous. I think I have commitment issues.

2. My portfolio for and English course is due tomorrow and I still have 3 assignments and a project to do. Yes, it is even more work than what it sounds like...so I am kinda screwed.

3. I ripped my favorite pajama pants. Okay, they weren't my favorite, but they were definitely in the top 5 and now they have a gaping hole in the crotch because of my ginormous legs.

4. My skin is f%cked up. All of this stress has a created a bloated, blotchy version of my former self, that well...she's not that cute. Hmm...

I have been tagged

So this seems like fun. I guess I need to start somewhere and why not begin by writing a little something about my self.
Unfortunately, I was tagged by my good friend Laura so I must start with 15 weird facts about myself.

1. I feel okay about wearing the same pair of unwashed pants for weeks at a time.

2. I was a vegan for 3 years, but now, I confess, that I can no longer live without cheese.

3. Some "artists" that I have on my iPod include: Hanson, Aqua and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

4. Sometimes I feel like a fraud.

5. I love reality television.

6. I have often been told that I am actually a gay man who is trapped in a woman's body (mostly this is Miguel).

7. I am completely addicted to Diet Mt. Dew

8. I look like Orlando Bloom, but I would still have sex with him.

9. I am an English major and I am minoring in Women and Gender Studies, but I have no idea what I want to do beyond that.

10. I have an extremely addictive personality. This might involve food (Hacienda), people, activities, danishes, movies, or musicians. It's pretty serious.

11. I like to push people over. I laugh when they fall.

12. I am so afraid of exactly what I am doing--growing up. Slowly but surely I am turning into a grown up (married, baby, a real job, a house and a washer and dryer)

13. I wrecked my first car into a building.

14. I love, love, love New York City.

15. As of next year, I will be the first person in my family to graduate from college.

That should do it for now.
I tag Michael H., Celeste, Amy, Julie and Shane.
Since I am sure no one reads this (yet..mua ha ha ha!) I am sure this could take a while.
