...this was very entertaining. I've never been a huge fan of violence. Not one for surprise blows, either. But put it in slow motion, and add a tune with a catchy beat, and you know what? I like surprise blows to the face!

25 Random Things About Me
I was tagged on Facebook to write 25 random things about myself. I kind of liked it, and since this blog is about me (ick, I don't like how vain that sounds, but it's true- this blog is about me.), I thought it would be a good post. To the friends on facebook that I tagged, and have already looked at this, turn away and do something productive, would ya'? :0)
1. I think my breath is kind of stinky today.
2. When I was little, I told everyone that I was going to be a boy when I grew up, not because I necessarily wanted to be a boy, but because I thought everyone eventually turned into a boy.
3. I pick my nose way more than I believe is socially acceptable.
4. I don't mind where I work, but I think some people aren't happy that I'm okay with it. I think they think I should be doing more with myself, but I'm not really a career-minded person. I don't think my job defines me, and I don't want to do all the work and spend all the money to meet the expectations that other people think I should have for myself, just to get a more "grown-up" and "real" job that'll take me away from what I really love in life.
5. I want a dog so badly, that I cry about it sometimes.
6. When I was about four, I thought marraige meant you would get to have a sleepover with your best friend everyday, so I wanted to marry Rainbow Brite. When I was informed that you have to kiss and do other stuff with that person, I decided to marry Mr. T instead.
7. Some days I think that I don't ever want to have children, or that I should adopt rather than give birth.
8. Some days, I think about having kids, and it makes me happy.
9. My right leg is significantly shorter than my left. So much so, in fact, that I suffer from debilitating back pain from time to time. I succumb to whatever position I'm in when the pain hits, sometimes scream out in pain, and just cry until the pain lessens- sometimes it's for a couple hours Every day hurts, but that's become normal for me.
10. I like the fact that people think I'm funny. I like being funny. It means a lot to me when I can make people laugh.
11. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate doing the dishes, but I hate a sink full of dirty dishes more.
12. When I was twelve, I thought I would only live until I was 24. I don't know why I thought this, I just did, and I was okay with it. There was a little part of me that had always believed this until the day of my 25th birthday.
13. I love to sing, but I have a paralyzing fear of singing in front of people. I don't even like to sing on my karaoke machine at home, because I think my neighbors may hear a little.
14. I think music sounds better when I'm listening to it with Greg. There's something about listening to music with someone who really understands and appreciates it- when he's playing songs he likes, I feel like there's more to it than just liking the song- there's something deeper, and I feel honored to be a part of it.
15. That being said, I wish I knew how to play a musical instrument. I can fake a few things on a guitar or keyboard, and I can hold a simple beat on the drums, but I don't really know how to play. I even took a guitar class in college, but I don't possess natual musical talent, and no matter how often I practice the guitar, I don't seem to get any better.
16. I'm kind of glad that my parents had a messy divorce. Not that I'm happy that they went through a very rough time, but I learned so many valuable lessons from their mistakes.
17. I hope to be living in my first purchased home by summer of this year. That excites me, and scares me at the same time.
18. I wish I read more often.
19. I think farts are so funny. I can even remember cracking up in elementary school because I saw the word "fart" printed in a book. I couldn't get over seeing such a funny word in such a non-funny Times New Roman font. I still giggle when I see it in print.
20. I don't like to do things by myself. Riding my bike, getting a bite to eat, going for walks, and other simple pleasures sometimes go undone because I can't find anyone to do them with me. Sometimes I force myself to just go out and have a good time by myself, and I do, but the thought of "this would be more fun if (insert name) was here, " constantly pops up in my head.
21. I sometimes sound like a stupid valley girl. I say "like" wayyy to often, and it annoys me.
22. I know how to juggle.
23. I regret giving my mom a hard time when she was trying to teach me how to speak spanish when I was younger. It's coming back to haunt me now. I know quite a bit, but my vocabulary and grammer are like a five year old's. Maybe even younger.
24. I don't think I've found my passion in life. I hope to find it soon.
25. I think I got married at a very young age, but I don't regret it for a second.

an afterthought on "L"
Lakes? LAKES?!! What the hell, what a stupidly vague thing to love. Yes, some lakes can be serene and beautiful, but I do love things that start with the letter L more than lakes. While we're at it, lips was kind of a pull it out of my ass answer as well (I do love Greg's lips...others' can be chapped and cracked and flaky and just not all that pleasant to stare at). I know this is just a little word game, but I'm declaring a redo on my #'s 9 and 10.
my new 9. London. LONDON, of course! Sheesh.
my new 10 is a tie between Leprechauns and Little People. Sue me.

New Year
This new year:
I hope happiness outweighs sadness. That hearts grow strong, people get and stay healthy, and sickness is nowhere to be found. I hope broken hearts are mended, strength is gained, and souls become wiser without feeling too old. I hope families can visit, bonds are made, and re-connections are formed. I hope stress is replaced by sighs of relief, and pain is not caused by the people we love. I hope we all become a bit more aware of ourselves, and of our emotions. If sadness, guilt, anger or depression come our way, let's recognize it and deal with it, instead of pushing it aside and pretending it doesn't exist, because when you know pain, you know how to heal. When you know sadness or anger, you understand better what happiness is. Let's laugh more, love without fear, and not be embarrassed to be a little silly. Let's make ourselves happy, but not forget about the importance of making those around us just as happy.
Happy New Year.
