16 Random Facts Meme

[ht_murray]

I was tagged by pinkoceantides so here I go with sixteen random facts.

1.) I have to go to the bathroom.

2.) My icon makes me happy. It looks like one of those engagement announcement photos out of a local newspaper. *big, stupid grin*

3.) I get really grossed out when people talk about vibrators and menstruation on their journals. LOL. Don't stop doing it, just don't feel bad if I never, ever comment on those entries.

4.) For the record, I do not own, nor have I ever seen a vibrator anywhere except online. I think I'm blushing just thinking about it.

5.) Numbers 3 and 4 are fresh in my mind because I was reading a comm friend list which I do when I'm bored. (I don't answer polls when I do that, though, cuz that would be weird, lol.)

6.) I used to go to bed and pray never to wake up again. I still do, sometimes.

7.) I think most people secretly want to defriend me but are afraid I might go off the deep end if they do, so they just filter me out and pretend I'm not here.

8.) I think number 7 is a sign of mental illness. *is crazy*

9.) There's a cardinal on a branch outside my window right now.

10.) I think every day about going back to Wisconsin and never leaving the farm again. (But I don't think they get the CW there, so I have to wait at least until Supernatural is over.)

11.) When I was in college, I secretly wanted to join the Peace Corps, but I heard it was really competitive to get into, so I convinced myself I really wanted to go to grad school instead.

12.) I wish I knew where my focus was supposed to be. I feel like everything I can do can be done better by someone else, so why bother.

13.) I think Lilac and Lily of the Valley are the most perfect scents in the whole world.

14.) I miss long, hot bubble baths. For some reason, our tub doesn't hold water.

15.) I had a beautiful flower garden in Wisconsin and haven't managed to grow one single thing in Texas.

16.) I've eaten head cheese. (Yes, it was disgusting.)

I was gonna say I'm not tagging anyone, because I know a lot of you don't like these things, but if I don't tag somebody, this just seems like a lot of whining, doesn't it? LOL. So, I'mma tag people, but you're not under any obligation to do it.

captcrashsc (I hope I spelled that right from memory), ysbail, susannaheanes, samidha, sams1ra, nontimebotree, angels3, and dawnfirenight. I'm pretty sure I spelled some of those wrong, but you know who you are. LOL.

LOL, isn't thinking that people want to defriend you but daren't completely normal? I used to think that all the time when I had a personal journal... luckily now I just think people will stop reading my crap if they want to. Most people think I'm too ditzy to notice a little thing like being defriended anyway :P

Uh. That made sense in my head (most things do). Anyway. I have NO desire to defriend you or filter you out. Nor have I ever. *stalks lovingly*

Christ. I just looked up what head cheese was. Now I kind of wish I didn't know. I especially wish I hadn't seen pictures of it. Ten years of vegetarianism has totally made me sickly about meat. ^_^

#7 isn't as crazy as my husband's theory about the internet... he says that there isn't anyone on the other end when your chatting with someone on IM, it's just a very advanced AI that messes with people. *rolls eyes*

Pee Ess.... I don't want to defriend you. *hugs*

Obviously. Everybody knows that.

I have also noticed that icon--gorgeous. It does look like something that was professionally produced.

I feel like everything I can do can be done better by someone else, so why bother

We all feel that way sometimes. And sometimes it's just the struggle that matters. Once I had to ask my younger sister (and only sibling) to name one thing I was good at (part of this self-help thing I was doing) and she seemed surprised and said, "I always thought you were good at everything you try to do." Now I know my sister has issues with me because I have a home, a husband, children and a career, and she has a career, an apartment and a cat. It's not that there's anything wrong with what she has, but she wanted more, you see. And I know I'm fortunate, but I also know that I have what I have because I tried, went after it, risked to have it. She played it safe, stayed in her little shell where she couldn't be hurt.

Keep trying. Keep struggling. Do what makes you happy. Hey, you got your picture taken with Jensen, right? Enjoy those little victories. That's what life is.

In conclusion, yay for lilac. Head cheese is disgusting. *nods*

I could so go for hot bubble bath right now. Don't think I've had one in about 8 years. Only have a shower.

when people talk about vibrators and menstruation on their journals
WTF... talking about the latter in a quite vague "I don't feel good because of this montly/female thing" I understand but I certainly don't wanna know details about it, let alone details about their vibrators or stuff like that.

haven't managed to grow one single thing in Texas
As far as I know Texas isn't exactly known for its beautiful flowers, is it? ;) The climate most likely doesn't make it easy to grow plants.

*huggles*

You tagged me sweetie ... Oh God.

And as I am currently drunk my response to this meme could turn out amusing, embarrassing - or both. (btw - I can't type when I'm drunk - just so you know)

Thank you for not tagging me. I might have to enumerate, and possibly describe, my vibrator collection. KIDDING.

I think number 7 is a sign of mental illness. *is crazy*

Is not.

I wish I knew where my focus was supposed to be. I feel like everything I can do can be done better by someone else, so why bother.

People who are relentlessly focused and sure of their performance are probably the crazy ones, actually. For definitions of crazy that include "me too."

Lily of the valley and lilac unadulterated are sweet enough to give me headache, but combined with my perfect scent, cut grass, they are *divine*--enough acid to cut the sweet, enough to sweeten the acid. Throw in some rosemary or lemongrass and I'll be tripping just from sensory overload.

I get really grossed out when people talk about vibrators and menstruation on their journals.


Lol, fail, here I am talking about finding a goddamn dildo, after this post and everything. To be fair, it wasnt mine, it appeared out of NOWHERE.

Head cheese sounds fucking gross. I'm not entirely sure what it is, and I dont think I want to know. It sounds...wrong.

I MISS BEING ABLE TO FIT INTO MY BATH. It used to be so comfy, but then I outgrew it. :( Sad now.

[susannaheanes.livejournal.com]

AAaaa you tagged me. I've been eyeball deep writing fic. I hope it's not too late and you don't care anymore. Or thought I was ignoring you.... it's been that kind of month.

Head cheese IS, in fact, disgusting.

I wish I'd seen your flower garden in Texas.

I love looking at my sitemeter and seeing College Station, Texas show up.

Your icon always makes me grin like a silly kid. *draws hearts*

I hope your holiday was good, dearest. I'm off to look and see what else you've been up to, and then I'll do that meme thing.

*hugs you tight*

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Haha, don't feel guilty about not doing the meme. I know some people are weirded out by 'em, and I might on occasion, um, possibly, pretend not to notice I've been tagged, LOL.

The head cheese. I should've know, I mean, it looked like brains, but well, the ladies were eating it and offered me some. I always feel bad turning down the chance to try new things. They didn't tell me what it was until after I ate it. I, being the stubborn beyotch I am, ate the rest of it anyway and didn't bat an eyelash, but I'd never do it again. Bleh.

I miss my flowers. They were purty! And I love this icon, too. Hee!

Holiday was not as awful as I'd feared, though my writing fu seems broked. LOL.

*smooshes you tight*
