100 More Things  

Yes, I'm just that bored.

1. I'm a professional procrastinator. I will put things off even though it drives me crazy that they're not done.
2. I have never shoplifted. There's never been anything I needed that badly.
3. I probably spend far too much time in the fantasy world in my head.
4. I wish I still had the utter lack of fear for my own well-being that I had when I was a kid.
5. I have a freakishly accurate memory when it comes to memorizing series of numbers (credit card, bank account, air miles, etc.) but I've always been terrible at math.
6. I often wonder how it feels to be stunningly beautiful.
7. I also often wonder how it feels to be hideously ugly.
8. I fear my high school reunion.
9. I hate how so many people think that anyone under a size 8 is anorexic. I'm a size 2. I still eat three meals a day. I'm also only five feet tall. Shut up about it, already.
10. I'm pretty sure cutting my hair was the stupidest thing I ever did.
11. I am far too vain about my hair.
12. I put salt on almost anything. For me, salt is the fifth food group.
13. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a stroke before I'm 40.
14. I get way too upset about things I can't change.
15. I don't know why it's so hard for me to hang up my coat and put my shoes in the closet when I come in the door. It just is.
16. One of the things that annoys me the most is when someone is kicking the back of my chair. Especially in a movie theatre. It makes me feel absolutely homicidal.
17. I hate beets.
18. I think I've become one of those people who only listens to the music of their youth.
19. Sometimes I'm more horrified at cruelty towards animals than I am towards people. I'm not sure what this says about me.
20. This does not extend to insects.
21. I chew my nails terribly. Even now that I have acrylic overlays, I still pick at the real nail underneath and chew it out.
22. I want to visit Macchu Picchu before it falls down the mountain.
23. I feel like I'm going to be the only member of my family who won't be a millionaire.
24. I wonder how I'm going to afford Christmas this year.
25. My absolute favourite thing in the world to do is laze around in bed on a chilly Sunday morning with Darcy and the cats.
26. I am a cuddlebunny. I love to snuggle.
27. I hate the taste of cooked meat. I'd rather it was raw, even chicken. Despite all this, I've only ever had food poisoning once, and it was from shellfish. Which were, admittedly, raw.
28. I seem to get a lot of strange illnesses. Why can't I just get colds like everyone else?
29. I'm partly deaf in my left ear from an ear infection I got while on my senior trip to Europe. When the plane depressurized upon landing, something popped and I've never been the same.
30. I wonder if I'll still have this blog when I'm 50, and if I do, if my kids will read it.
31. I am definitely a taker.
32. I kill a lot of plants. I would say I'm sitting at around a 60% death rate. My most spectacular failure was $80 worth of tulip bulbs, of which about 8 grew. I blame the dirt.
33. I would like to move away from Calgary. Anywhere out of Calgary, as long is it's someplace smaller. But they'd still need to have a sushi restaurant.
34. If I sleep the wrong way, my navel piercing gets infected. This happens annoyingly often.
35. It still astonishes me that after I lost 20 lbs, my boobs got smaller. That's so lame. How could I not have known that would happen? The new plan is to gain the weight back, then get lipo on my tummy.
36. I miss my dream bathtub at our old apartment. I never get to take baths anymore.
37. That means I never get to burn candles anymore either, since the only time I ever used them was when I would take baths.
38. I wish people would stop giving me candles.
39. There are few things I can think of that are stupider than tricking out your stupid shitmobile of a Honda Civic hatchback. Do you realize you could pay for several years' tuition with the money you've spent on a car that was originally worth $3,000? You're retarded.
40. I love Zellers. There's nothing you can't find at Zellers.
41. We're going to move to France. Seriously, we are. This is not some silly dream.
42. I love taking pictures. I think I'd enjoy being a professional photographer.
43. If I could start my university career all over again, I think I'd take education. I'd love to teach creative writing, English or Journalism. I'd also consider nursing.
44. I sometimes worry that if this is how much I spoil my cats, when the kids come around they're going to be unbearably spoiled.
45. I love it when I have lots of books to look forward to reading. The worst feeling is having nothing to read at all.
46. I will sometimes read all day even though I get a migraine after about two hours. In case it's not clear at this point, I love to read.
47. I like to cook, but not bake. The only exception to my hatred of baking is chocolate-chip cookies.
48. I wish I was more adventurous. There are so many things I'd love to try, except for my crippling fear of getting hurt.
49. I'm actually sort of okay with flying now, at least on regular, large-size passenger planes. This is most likely due to the utter terror on the flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Abaco in February on the little Beechwood, which made any normal flight seem absolutely tame.
50. I'm very disturbed by the graffiti that appeared on our wall the other day. I hope none of the neighbours think we actually feel that way about various minority groups.
51. Mosquitoes don't like my blood. I'm lucky if I get bitten once a summer.
52. Sometimes I just don't feel like eating for a couple of days. I don't think you should eat if you're not hungry, just because someone came up with the 'three square meals a day' thing. I've never been able to eat like that. Your body will tell you what it needs, if you take the time to listen to it.
53. I much prefer waxing to shaving.
54. I often think of the perfect retort just a couple minutes too late, then replay how the scenario might have gone if I'd said it.
55. I hate dusting.
56. I should probably wear my glasses a lot more than I do.
57. The only fast-food burgers I like are Harveys.
58. I wonder how many more tattoos I'll get before I decide enough is enough.
59. I'll probably never pierce myself again. I'm through with needles.
60. The only dreams I ever remember are nightmares.
61. On one hand, I feel really terrible that an animal has to lose its life to feed me, but on the other hand, I really like meat.
62. I think I'd enjoy being a farmer, but not the kind that has to get up at 5 in the morning.
63. I will try anything once, but if I don't like it the first time, I will never, ever try it again.
64. I spend a lot of my time secretly making fun of people I don't know in my head when I'm at the mall or in a restaurant or whatever. I'm astonishingly cruel sometimes.
65. My favourite nickname is Starfish.
66. I'd like to learn to surf.
67. I feel kind of left out that my whole family plays golf except for me.
68. I probably won't get to go camping at all this summer. This makes me sad. I remember when we used to go every month from May to September.
69. My feet are size 8 but I almost always buy 7 1/2. I have some sort of mental stigma about people thinking I have big feet.
70. I like eating with my fingers.
71. I really only like cream soups. Brothy soups just don't do it for me. Miso is the exception.
72. If I could have one superpower, I would want to be able to transform my body into any other person's.
73. I added my own email to my MSN Messenger list just so it would never show that no one was online.
74. I love things that are hand-knitted. I'm insanely jealous of my sister's handmade scarf and toque set and her poncho, which she never even wears and should give to me right now.
75. I wish I could knit.
76. I have an overwhelming desire to be accepted, especially by people I don't know.
77. I generally buy a new jacket for every season each year. Lately, this has become unaffordable, but that didn't stop me from buying a spring and summer jacket so far this year.
78. I don't wash my hair every day. It doesn't need it.
79. Tweezing errant hairs is one of my favourite pastimes. They don't have to be on my body either ;) Best of all is to pull them out with my bare fingers.
80. I always seem motivated to plan projects, but rarely start them within a reasonable timeframe.
81. I don't like other people to know when I'm upset. I'll let something fester in my mind for ages and never tell a soul. This, I'm told, is called internalizing.
82. I've developed a serious drinking habit. Not a problem, but a habit. I now have at least a beer almost every day.
83. When I make mix CDs, I make them in the image of my dream concert. Those bands, those songs, in that order.
84. I seem to be the sort of person that people, especially strangers, like to tell their problems to.
85. I hate brushing my teeth. I do it, because I hate going to the dentist even more, but I hate it.
86. My right breast is bigger than my left. I'm sure you've never noticed, but I'm obsessed with it.
87. I always know which cardinal direction I'm facing, but I can never remember driving directions.
88. I believe in ghosts. The good kind and the bad kind.
89. Most of my favourite childhood memories centre around visiting my grandpa and grandma in Victoria every summer.
90. I love the way Lysol toilet cleaner smells. I buy it purely for the smell, despite the warning on the label that says "do not inhale vapours."
91. I wish I lived closer to the ocean, but I think if I did, I'd miss the mountains.
92. I make too many impulse purchases. Even when I make a list to try and cut down, I still end up buying way more than I meant to.
93. I want to be on Jeopardy. I think I'd be pretty good at it, since I know all kinds of useless stuff.
94. When our credit card bill is high, like right after Christmas, I avoid looking at it so I don't have to deal with it. To me, if I don't pay any attention to it, it doesn't exist. This is why we've only just paid off our Christmas expenses.
95. I hate saving money unless I have something to save towards. Right now it's hard because we don't know what we're saving for. "A rainy day" just isn't good enough. I need a picture in my head.
96. I'm an Air Miles junkie.
97. I can lick my knee pit. Try it, it's not that easy to do.
98. I bought a camera phone a little while ago because I thought I had to have it, but I've used it to take a picture exactly once. At least it was only $30.
99. I've decided I'm going to enter every single free contest I come across, no matter how ridiculous. Sooner or later I have to win something.
100. I have awesome calves.
