Yes, my relationship with this blog is love/hate, hate/hate. Ketsy's 7 things made me laugh...well, it actually came out more like a weird burp, so I hope to return the favor, only don't expect so many witticisms. So, with expectations sufficiently low...
7 things you may not know, that I am proud of, embarrassed about (KT didn't really clarify, so I'm going with her own ambiguous interpretation.
1. I bite my toenails. I know, it's unequivocally gross, but it's amazing as a stress reliever. I think there must be infant oral issues somewhere there. What can I say? At least I'm not all stiff and UNABLE to do it like all you normal toenail clippers out there.
2. I still love watching strangers trip, stumble, bump into things, especially if they see that I saw and they try to act like it didn't happen. If anyone laughs back in my face, maybe I won't like it so much anymore. Until then, good times.
3. I am still truly amazed and a little disbelieving that my siblings and best friends are actually parents and adults. How long did I think it would be before we all grew up? It still floors me that we have mortgages (except me! and you think renting is unglamorous), children, callings of responsibility and influence, full time jobs. I still see everyone as if we're all still college age...except people that made me feel awkward in high school and then they are always high school age.
4. I am addicted to Last Chance shopping. It's this weird rush when those stupid doors roll up and then to find some treasures that would have been unattainable in the real world of Nordstrom shopping. I must be shallow to like it so much but the draw is undeniable.
5. I am intimidated by stupid Ketsy's 7 things and already feel like mine are not so revealing nor so entertaining.
6. When I read scriptures, especially if I read them out loud, I yawn with such vigor and intensity that I almost feel like something's wrong. Even thinking about it is making me yawn, right now! As if I needed to provide proof to you people.
7. I am approximately 12-15 credits shy of earning my degree and I'm bewildered when people ask me, "Why?" Like as if I had a great reason, then I wouldn't be an idiot for not finishing, or as if they want me to really think about it so that I'll get enough ambition/willpower to go back. One of the few things about that I causes me to feel genuine chagrin is the laptop that my parents gave me for Christmas the semester before I was to graduate (and didn't, obviously). They said, with pride, that it was both a Christmas AND graduation present. I still feel like a gomer for that. It's not like I could give it back, but still...
