Profile revamp!
Ch-ch-ch-changes!
“About Me” page added, “100 Things” page altered slightly.
I’ve returned to being obsessed with OK Cupid’s tests, but I’m hesitant to actually fill out my profile for fear of stalkers. How I haven’t acquired any stalkers here on WordPress is beyond me* but I’m still worried about that kind of stuff.
OOH! And did I mention that we’re stopping at Mount Rushmore on our way to London? How freaking cool, huh? I’ve always wanted to see it.
*Actually it’s not; my blog’s not cool enough for people to catch on to it.
L’eggo My Ego!
Why? Because I felt like it! I don’t need to justify myself to you people!
The Ego-Boosting Survey
This’ll make you feel good about yourself!
What are you best at?
What am I best at? Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m best at anything. I’m really freaking good at writing essays/research papers. Really good. Never lower than an A, if I recall correctly.
Why do people like you?
Haha, no idea. For the few who really do like me, I think it’s because I know who I am, I know what I want, and I deliberately do what I do. But I’m just spontaneous enough to cause some fun.
What’s your best physical feature?
I’ve been hearing it’s my lips, lately.
What’s your best mental feature?
Well, my medulla oblongata is quite an attractive piece of work, if I do say so myself. No seriously…I can take what I know and make all sorts of connections. I’m really good at connecting things and coming to logical (?) conclusions.
What’s the best thing you’ve ever written?
That short story with Andy, Dave, and the reading ban. I just liked the way it ended. Mysterious like.
What’s the funniest/wittiest thing you’ve ever written?
This. Hilarity. Presidents + chatroom, what could be better?
What’s the wittiest thing you’ve ever said/come up with?
Does the “Lucretia Mac Evil + Tear the Pants off the Sucker = Come on Eileen” thing count as witty? It’s funny, regardless.
What’s the best joke you’ve ever come up with?
A father gong (yes, a gong) is approached one day by his daughter. “Dad?” the teenage gong asks.”Yes, honey?” “Um…well…there’s no real easy way to tell you this, but…I think I’m bisexual.”The father gong erupts into a rage. “WHAT?! BISEXUAL?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOUNG LADY? I THOUGHT YOUR MOTHER AND I RAISED YOU RIGHT!! LEAVE THIS HOUSE IMMEDIATELY!” The young gong runs from the house, crying. As the father gong sits frozen with rage, the mother gong comes up beside him.”I suppose she told you the news about her bisexuality?” the mother asks.”Yes,” the father replies. “But I’m so angry. How could she do this to me after all I’ve done for her?” “I know dear, but there’s nothing you can do. You’ve simply got to let bi-gongs be bi-gongs.”(Get it? Get it?)
What’s the biggest award you’ve ever received?
Probably that Margaret Haggart Writing Award back in 6th grade. Probably not the biggest, but one of the most appreciated.
If you have a Johari window, what are your top traits?
Top how many? Five? I’ll give you five: intelligent, witty, complex, silly, knowledgeable.
Ah, that did kind of help. Ego elation! Ego elation!
My fingers are all tingly. Either I just developed “Spidey Sense: or I’m having a stroke.
Nothing’s going on today. So guess what that means? RANDOM FACT DIVULGING!
25 facts about me
1. I’ve been to the emergency room way too many times.
2. I used to play The Oregon Trail on the computer obsessively. My objective was not to survive but rather to accumulate as much bacon as possible. I kept a journal on it. I found this journal about a week ago. Hilarity.
3. I’m addicted to Ring Pops. Pathetic for a 19-year-old? I don’t care! I have to have my fix!
4. I have to count the number of M&Ms while they’re still in the bag because if there’s an uneven number I won’t eat it and I have to pick a different bag.
5. I can twirl a 9-foot PVC pipe with my toes like a baton.
6. When I got appendicitis I was secretly glad because it meant I could skip church that day.
7. I have some Backstreet Boys and some ‘Nsync on my iPod. They’re there for sentimental reasons, people, give me a break.
8. “Sexy Back” is one of my favorite songs.
9. Sex scares me.
10. I don’t think I could care less about monetary stuff. I mean yeah, money’s nice, but it’s not one of my priorities and it’s not something I really care about.
11. My I.Q. is 151, but I don’t throw that number around because I feel that I.Q. scores are meaningless.
12. I don’t like sports unless I’m playing them. Then I get freakishly competitive.
13. My clothes are organized in ROYGBIV fashion in my closet.
14. I have more socks than underwear, bras, and shoes combined.
15. I used to go on to Yahoo! chat anonymously and act like a complete smart-ass in the chatrooms. It was great.
16. I don’t have much experience with this kind of stuff, but I’ve learned of myself that if I like you in “that way,” I’ll do almost anything for you.
17. The movie Outbreak scared the crap outta me.
18. When I was in first grade I used to run around at school saving worms laying on the pavement after it rained. I was known as the “Worm Saver.” Some kids have never spoken to me since.
19. I’ve always, always been the friend who somehow gets in the middle of arguments between friends. I stay friends with both parties and I get to hear all the crap they say about the other behind their back. It’s frustrating because half the time I’m unable to bring about a resolution. Some of you who have put me in this situation know what I’m talking about.
20. I like busywork more than any healthy person should.
21. I surf through MySpace constantly, looking for blogs to read and surveys to steal.
22. I am VERY loyal.
23. I’ve always wanted to do nude modeling for art classes/photographers (not porno, you dirty-minded people!). So if you’re interested…
24. I’ve considered getting the Declaration of Independence tattooed on my back.
25. I hate people that remind me of me.
My turn, dammit!
Huttah! Thanks to E’raina and Maggie for making me do this. Some of the answers appear obvious mainly to those who experienced high school events with me, while others are obvious to college people. However, I constantly talk about all of this crap, so if you listen (or even pay slight attention about 10% of the time) you should to fine. Have fun!
10 things you didn’t know about me
I CHALLENGE YOU….
…to do this list yourself! Just make your own list of 10 things you don’t think anyone knows about yourself (except for yourself, obviously. Duh.) and post it here so I can read it and I can further heighten my stalking—er, friendship with you.
And…go!
1. I wish I were British (or talked with a British accent at least).
2. I actually like it when people assume I dye my hair because it makes me feel special when I tell them I don’t.
3. I used to think that cells were made of “special” material (rather than atoms).
4. I got started wearing bright clothes because people always assumed I was a Goth (then the brightness kinda took off…look where I am today, fools! BWA HA HA!).
5. I think blonde hair is hot.
6. I almost majored in glaciology.
7. I used to have a thing for George Washington (a long time ago, people, give me a break).
8. Now I have a thing for General Grant.
9. VIRGIN!! (many of you probably guessed this just from knowing me).
10. I’m weirder than you think I am…
That was harder than I thought it would be. I guess I tend to tell people a lot of random facts about myself. Oh well.
AHOY!
