Resolution: First 40 things about me

One of my New Years resolutions was to write a list of 100 things about me. Here's the first 40.

1) I like to sing at the top of my lungs in the car and would do the same in the shower if my apartment didn't have a noise ordinance and I actually had hot water to waste time in.

2) I like the simple things in life, whatever that means.

3) I hate spending money.

4) I love eating out.

5) I love sleeping in.

6) I hate the sound of people chewing.

7) I love laughing.

8) I hate pranks like on Punk'd or Crank Yankers.

9) I'd rather receive a thoughtful homemade gift or meal than flowers or candy given because that's what's expected.

10) I respect honesty and try to be honest.

11) I don't like not knowing what someone is thinking about me.

12) I like to follow the golden rule.

13) I think anger is a useless emotion, although every so often it gets the better of me.

14) I think henna is the most beautiful artform in the world.

15) I always give people the benefit of the doubt and a second chance.

16) I'm friends or at least acquaintances with every guy I've ever been in a relationship with.

17) I would like to hike the NH portion of the Appalachian Trail.

18) I signed up for a half marathon next summer but I hate running.

19) I want to be a lounge singer or belly dancer.

20) I enjoy spending time goofing off with friends.

21) I am procrastinating on my thesis.

22) I spend too much time on-line.

23) I have a hard time taking instructions from people, especially from loved ones.

24) I love when grown men do something childlike (not childish) such as getting all excited about a Christmas special.

25) I love when kids dress themselves and walk around town in outlandish outfits. My favorite was the kid in a mask and cape in the middle of the summer for no reason whatsoever. I also like their parents for letting them.

26) I hate coconut. Especially the kind in candy.

27) My biggest fear is of dieing by not being able to breathe.

28) I'm a sucker for whoopie pies and Devil dogs.

29) I would love to own a Great Dane.

30) I'm allergic to cats.

31) I get so motion sick that I've had to turn off decorating shows that zoomed in and panned too quickly.

32) I do not consider myself an athlete even though I teach a class at my gym and I've completed several 5Ks, 4 triathlons, and I've played on a softball team for 3 years.

33) I cry more often because of happy emotions (Hallmark commercials) than sad.

34) My signature color is red.

35) I've never had a nickname.

36) I could eat pizza every day.

37) I get jittery and woosy if I drink caffeine in the afternoon.

38) I've never broken a bone or needed stitches.

39) I've donated plasma and blood.

40) I think humor and laughter during intimate physical moments is amazing.

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

TMI re: Nuvaring

Let's just state right up front that this post is going to contain too much information. It's about birth control, the prescription kind. Any modern straight gal must think about it unless they like playing russian roulette with their ovaries. (Thanks N for correcting my previously heterocentric sentence.) There is nothing fun about birth control except that you can kind of have sex without freaking out that you may get pregnant. Of course you may get pregnant anyway (joy! rapture!) simply because the gods are not smiling upon you and you are the one in 100 for whom the statistics suck. Pros of birth control: You are less likely to get pregnant. Sometimes your skin clears up. Less severe cramping. You have control of your own destiny, sort of. Cons of birth control: If you are on the pill you have to remember to take it every day. Sometimes, as in my case, it can make you think you are bipolar, even at a low dose. It's just a general pain in the rear end that makes you par...
