24. I have size 6.5 feet.

36. I love getting drunk and running my mouth off telling everyone exactly what I'm thinking and all my lame jokes that I normally would keep to myself.
37. I am a very happy and affectionate drunk, I usually end up telling everyone how happy I am that we're friends and kiss them on the cheek. I also like to shotgun.
38. I don't like Catcher in the Rye that much, if you're one of those people that's crazy about it, we're not going to work out. And I'm not one of those girls who thinks Holden Caufield is a total dreamboat either. And that's because I hate being melodramatic and super emotional and I loathe myself when I am.
39. I still know all the words to "Alcohol" by Barenaked Ladies....from sixth grade.
40oz. to Freedom always reminds me of middle school and coming-of-age-y things.

42. I always listen to happy and upbeat music in the morning when I make my coffee, it gets my day off to a great start! Like....Good Day Sunshine- the Beatles, Stand- Sly & the Family Stone, I Can't Explain and Summertime Blues- the Who, This Must be the Place and Uh Oh! Love Has Come to Town- Talking Heads, and Rockaria! or Sweet Talkin' Woman- ELO

44. I LOVE Band-Aids.
45. I painted my nails two different colors yesterday, blood red and snow white hey ohhh!

47. I try my best to be a really happy person because I think most of the time, your state of mind is a choice, and being sad is a waste.
48. I'm not a huge fan of existentialism but I love taoism but do not subscribe to any religion.
49. I don't believe in a "god", I do believe in karma/luck/fate/joss though. The other day I was filling out a DePaul student survey and for the question about religion I had no idea what to put. I didn't want to say agnostic because I kind of think the whole concept of a "god" seems really false, but for some reason I did not not not want to say I was atheist either. It has a hopeless sound to it.
50. I believe in karma and Jackie's roommate who ratted her out to the RD and got her kicked out of the dorms without saying ANYTHING or complaining AT ALL to her is definitely getting a shitload of bad karma.
51. Bathroom break!
52. I forget that I'm 19, usually I still think I'm 18 but sometimes I think I'm 17. I don't think of myself as an adult yet. Like, whenever I'm at a bar or something and an older guy(like, 30s, 40s) is like heeeey or starts dancing with me and my ladies at a show or whatnot, I always feel the impulse to be like hey ped leave me alone how old do you think I fucking am? but then I remember that I AM 19 and an adult, and if I'm at a bar then I'm at least pretending to be 21. I wonder when I will start to "feel" my age or if I'll ever feel like an adult. I have this feeling that my brain will never really grow up, and for the rest of my life I'll still be 17 or 18 and just playing grown-up.
53. Whenever I walk to Italian on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I always walk down Fullerton and stare people down for no reason, not like, aggressively, just blankly. However, when it's cold and windy outside my eyes always water like mad so I'm sure everyone thinks I'm weepy ha ha ha ha ha.
54. Whenever I like someone, I always overthink about it and the person ends up being a lot more attractive in my head than they are in real life, and most times I'm really disappointed when I start spending more time with them and realize I was making up like, half their personality. Sometimes that's not true though, and that's called "chemistry" and it causes sparks to fly!
55. I am in no hurry.
56. I have never asked anyone out on a date, I am painfully shy about those things.
57. There's this boy in my astronomy class who I'm secretly in love with because I know he loves astronomy and is jewish (I'm kind of guessing about that, but he kind of looks jewey and has a jewey last name) like my uncle cliff, who I think is one of the coolest people in the whole world. He married my auntie Margherita, who is one of the coolest people in the world and together they had my cousin Marcella, who is definitely one of the coolest people in the world.
58. Feist is cool, but Faust is better.
59. I'm kind of a cheese fanatic. I love cheese so much, cheese and crackers, grilled cheese, cheese flavored chips, things with cheese on them, plain cheese.....basically anything to do with cheese, I am all up in it's business.
60. When I have a plate of food, I always save the best for last, I'm one of those people.
61. A song that I really like to listen to when I get ready in the morning or before I go out is More Than a Feeling- Boston OR Feel Like Making Love- Bad Company, the latter is often played at parties, it's kind of strange because like EVERYONE knows the words!
62. My skin and makeup always look better after I take a nap.
63. I have romantic dreams about my teachers sometimes, and the next morning am completely grossed out, and then when I'm in class I remember and get uncomfortable. Why does my brain have to think about things like that?
64. Driving to Woodfield the day after Christmas and getting off the tollway and going around in the parking lot made me feel like I was coming down off a coke binge. Seriously, worst driving experience ever!
65. After I came home from school I turned into this super aggressive and excellent driver, and I ended up driving a lot (relative) over break.
66. Now I'm listening to Hey Big Spender from Sweet Charity.....I love musicals tonight!
67. I like dominant boys who will make day-to-day decisions for me. Preferably....a Jet....when you're a jet you're a *something* kid, little boy you're a man, little man you're a king *snaps* cool, crazy! crazy! cool! The Jets are in town...something something....lousy chicken! SHAAAAAAARK SHAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!!!! Beat it!
68. In 17 minutes I am meeting Vanessa outside Clifton Fullerton and we're going to Sarah and Rachel's apartment to pregame and then we're going to this bar on Southport that some guys from Umphrey's are supposed to be dj-ing at or something? And then we're going to a party on Clark and School that Megan and Amy are going to and hopefully we will meet up with Amelia first. Them's the plans.
69. Sixty-nine! Lol!
70. When I get dressed, I always try to look like someone interesting, that's my most important thing. Right now I'm wearing brown leather boots (like, a quarter inch heel) my awesome tights, white lace skirt, white floral nightie, and my favorite hunter green sweater. Ready to go! Actually, I am leaving right now, I will complete the rest of this later!
