DAY 06: On 30 "Interesting" Facts

1. I write this blog for myself. And it makes me happy.
2. I like saving the center of sandwiches for last.
3. When I lie, my lips give me away.
4. About 85% of my clothes are blue. Wearing red makes me feel sexy though (I only own like four red things though, so I don’t feel “sexy” all that often).
5. When I’m stressed out, I start cleaning everything.
6. I am completely fail at mental math. I depend on everyone else for tipping, taxes, and Monopoly.
7. When I’m at the mall, I always have a hard time deciding whether I should eat a Cinnabon or Auntie Anne’s Almond Pretzel with caramel dip (or, I guess, neither).
8. I almost always go in for my free monthly chocolate piece at Godiva. Usually I get the Dark Chocolate Raspberry truffle.
9. My favorite dessert is still apple pie.
10. And I just noticed almost all my “interesting facts” revolve around food…Oh, and I am a fatty.
11. When I write papers, I always write the introduction first. And then I start thinking about the final sentence to the conclusion.
12. My favorite T.V. show is, hands down, Top Chef (food…). But I also love Say Yes to the Dress.
13. If I could reconsider my career path, I would become a baker (my friend says that he will become a baker and make “dough;” har har?).
14. I have driven into a wall, a boat, a parked car, and a fence—but guess what? I have not been pulled over by a cop AND I haven’t run over a squirrel.
15. I can’t swim.
16. I hate vacuuming more than any other household chore. I would rather clean the toilets and pick up hairs in the bathroom.
17. I wear sexy underwear on days I want to feel secretly sexy. My sister calls my underwear “flamboyant.”
18. My favorite spot on campus is in front of the Tawes building, on the benches and next to the fountains.
19. I secretly love yard sales because of how much it tells me about what goes on in strangers’ houses—but I’m always hesitant to go alone.
20. I think I’d change my name to Erin if I wanted an “American” name. Instead, some people call me “Yeggie Veggie Wedgie” and “Molly.” When I hear Molly, I see a fat, pimply-faced girl.
21. I use coconut shampoo only because it makes me feel good. Honestly though, I don’t think it’s great for my hair though.
22. I usually only dress nice two out of five school days.
23. I love playing minesweeper because it makes me feel smarter than I really am. The same goes for solving puzzles.
24. My bed is used more often than my desk.
25. I would rather live next to the beach than in the mountains.
26. It’s really embarrassing, but I can’t touch my toes.
27. I pay attention to a guy’s hands and his back.
28. Sometimes I make up songs; they’re usually really crappy, cheesy, and have really bad rhyming schemes (e.g. “We were supposed to be forever—how did forever turn to never? Now I’m alone..holding the phone? Waiting for you to call…which may come not at…all?” I usually belt these made-up songs at home—in the shower or on the toilet.
29. I have cried during Pokemon the First Movie and Eminem’s Love the Way You Lie.
30. I like dinner by candlelight, slow love, and long walks on the beach (“LOL”).
