getting to know me
- when wearing headphones, the earpiece labeled 'R' must go in my right ear and the earpiece labeled 'L' must go in my left ear. i cannot hit 'play' until i have checked to make sure that i don't have them in backwards.
- i prefer to only use one kind of pen - the sanford uni-ball micro (.2mm) with blue ink. i always have one in my car and several in my bag. i don't have a major problem when it comes to using shitty publicly-provided ballpoint pens when i am in stores and restaurants, but i would never use anything other than those sanfords at home or at work. it isn't so much a 'preference' as it is an 'odd obsession.' hey, at least i can admit it.
- i hate, and i literally mean hate, asking girls out. i can count on one hand the number of times i have actually done it. it has nothing to do with any sort of "fear of rejection" paranoia, i just really dislike doing it.
- i don't like celebrating my birthday. i know that everyone always says this as their birthday approaches, but i honestly mean it. in fact, i never tell people when my birthday is just because i want the actual day to slip by without anyone saying anything to me about it. after all, time itself is 100% arbitrary. a span of 365 days has absolutely no meaning outside of this planet. when you look at it that way, what the hell is the point of celebrating the anniversary of the day you slid out of your mother's vagina?
- my 3 favorite holidays, in order, are: halloween, arbor day, and christmas.
- i simply cannot leave the house Monday morning unless my bed is fully made. no exceptions. after Monday it is okay if it is a bit untidy, but after my Sunday slumber it has to be made for the week to progress smoothly.
- i hate reality television so much that i will actually 'skip' over stations when those shows are on. for example, if the apprentice is on, instead of hitting the 'channel up' button to go from 4 to 6 through 5, i will actually type in 0-6 on the remote to avoid ever hitting nbc (which is channel 5 in dfw) as i switch from channel 4. the idea behind this is that nielsen can't accidentally score me as 'watching' a reality show in the split second that it took me to scan past that station (which would ultimately give that particular show a 'higher' rating). i am not kidding about this. i hate reality television that much. (exceptions are Project Runway and Top Chef)
- kelly ripa's cleavage makes me nauseous in a way that no other object on the face of the earth has ever been able to duplicate.
- i never eat the first and last slices off of a brick of cheese. for some ridiculous reason i believe that the slices touching the plastic wrapping taste odd. my sister does the same exact thing, though i think that it is probably my fault.
- i am not kidding in the least when i say that i have seen pride and prejudice and anne of green gables no less than 30 times a piece. i personally do not own either of these films (yet), which makes my having seen them so many times that much more ridiculous.
- i have never been in a fight or thrown a punch in my life.
- i cannot write in cursive at all. my signature is literally just a curvy 'b' with a squiggly line extending away from it.
- i dislike chocolate cake (not counting chocolate mousse cake or chocolate cheesecake).
- all throughout college, i was never able to purchase a used textbook that had highlighting in it or any notes in the margins.
