Bet you didn't know...
I saw this somewhere and for some reason I thought it'd be interesting to do. So here goes.
1.) My parents cut our cable for 6 years when we lived in Alaska because my sister would repeat everything she heard on TV at the age of 8.
2.) I have never been to a salon.
3.) I love recieving hand written mail.
4.) My favorite place in the world to relax and meditate was bulldozed down by my father's brother. I have never forgiven him.
5.) At one point in my life, I loved my cat more than anything in this world, including my own life. The cat is no longer alive.
6.) I don't really like bright, clear, sunny days.
7.) Some of my best ideas for paintings come from cloud formations.
8.) I talk to my plants.
9.) I feel more comfortable around animals than people.
10.) I used to have a pet duck.
11.) I don't like living in cities. To emphasize this point, I even consider Boone to be a city.
12.) I've been to Mt. Rushmore.
13.) I took a life at the age of 4. To this day I feel a deep twinge of sorrow and regret when I think about it.
14.) I love the smell of my laundry soap. I used to use a different kind, but the first man I ever loved used a certain brand, and I associate the scent with him. I've since switched laundry soap because now when I put on my clothes, they remind me of happy things.
15.) I own two cauldrons, both of which I use frequently.
16.) I don't feel comfortable sharing my religion with people. I suppose it's because I don't think they'll understand.
17.) Both my brother and sister are pagan. My father, a "southern baptist" who has only been to church twice in my lifetime (once for a wedding, once for a funeral) hates this fact and considers himself a failure as a parent. My mom thinks it's cool.
18.) I can write backwards, and frequently do so when I'm bored or don't want people to read what I'm writing. Everyone in my family, excluding my father, has this skill.
19.) I hated Pride and Prejudice but I loved Wuthering Heights.
20.) I once wore fairy wings when I was teaching a bunch of kids acting styles during a theatre workshop, and someone made a comment that I couldn't face reality and lived in a fantasy world. I hate it when people assume that if you cut loose once in a while, you are a stereotype. Besides, reality isn't that great.
21.) When I lived in Myrtle Beach, my best friend had to move away because a kid broke into their backyard and drowned in her pool. The dead kid's parent's sued, even though there was a "No Trespassing" sign. I never saw my friend again.
22.) My uncle believes that I live a "charmed" life.
23.) I love my mom's spaghetti more than any other spaghetti known to man.
24.) Since coming to college, I've been less religious and more dead than I have ever been at any point in my life.
25.) I don't feel that anyone can ever really "get" me. People make too many assumptions and very few of them are correct. My brother and sister "get" me, and I "get" them, but not a lot of other people "get" us.
26.) I get angry because people read things like #25 and assume that it doesn't apply to them. This happens all the time and it frusterates the hell out of me.
27.) I disrespect people who do things either out of character or that disrupt other people just for the sheer sake of getting attention. I don't respect these people and I think they're weak and self-centered, destined for a lifetime of loneliness because they're so fake people will see through them.
28.) I have branches hanging from the ceiling in my room at home. They're covered in a light spray of glitter that catches the light when the sun shines through the window in the evening. Same goes for the three prisms in my window.
29.) I love my lovely pagany pagan places. The pagan shop back home is (duh) uber paganized and has a few couches you can sit on and a bunch of cats running around. It's very relaxing to just sit there and play with the cats.
30.) As far as being pagan goes, I think the "fluffy" stuff is neat. It pisses me off when other people are all cynical and dead-minded, going on about "ooh, that's just sooo fluffy" and look down they're nose at those they say are fluffy. You know what, this is for you. mln
31.) I edit what I say in my journals because I know there are people reading it that will use information as a "weapon" saying they have "dirt" on me. If I post it in my journal, it's obviously not dirt, you fucktard.
32.) I want to learn to salsa dance.
33.) My dream house is the house in Practical Magic
34.) Before coming to college, I loved waking up early because the world was mine when no one else was awake.
35.) I'm a published poet.
36.) I don't like talking about myself. I'll talk about experiences, but I don't like talking about things that scare me or things that make me happy. It feels unnatural.
37.) I want to have kids. I love kids and I think I'd be a good mother. Maternal instincts galore.
38.) I frequently think a lot of people dwell on youth and spend their lives in fear of growing up.
39.) I don't understand why anyone would want to be unhappy. There's a story behind why I included this, but there's no time to type it right now if I want to list 50 things.
40.) I don't like watching movies where humor is achieved at the expense of another character. It makes me uncomfortable.
41.) I have a goal of someday visiting Brazil.
42.) Jeremey Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher was the first book that I can remember making me cry.
43.) I prefer red M&Ms. It's not like they taste different, I just like them better.
44.) Up until my Junior year in high school, I hated to be seen. I tried to never be in populated areas because I didn't like people to see me.
45.) I am facinated by butterflies.
46.) When I was 13, I was told by my optomitrist that I was going to go blind by the time I was 23 because my retnas were thinning and detaching. Two years later, I found out that because I have pale skin, I have pale retnas and that they weren't detaching, therefore was not going to go blind. Two years of thinking your vision is going to be stolen from you puts a lot of things in perspective.
47.) I used to get sick to my stomach every time I saw or smelled lima beans.
48.) I am incapable of dressing like a "gangsta". My roommate tried it once. I looked like a pirate.
49.) I've always liked guys with long dark hair. It's a thing for me. Dark hair and dark eyes. Mmmm.......
50.) There are some people in this world who I am absolutely disgusted with. I avoid these people because I think they are a waste of humanity. No one I've ever felt that way about has ever left the category of "I'd like to see dead". It's hard for me to be open minded about these people and I understand that it's a flaw in my personality.
Okay, composing that list took me several hours. I don't think I was able to tap the stuff people don't know about me, but it's an exercise in being more open. Bleh. That sucked.
Break was good -- got to see my brother and sister, got to eat mom's spaghetti (see #23) and sleep in my own bed. Very relaxing but coming back to Boone has caused me to tense up again. Thinking about exams and stuff, I think.
The Symposium is Saturday. Please, please, please let me know if you're interested in helping.
