25 Things
Via Facebook
1) I’ve been avoiding this list for quite some time because 1) do people really need to know more about me? (psst, I have a blog) and 2) 25 things just seems excessive, doesn’t it? I mean, that’s a whole lot of things! So I guess my first thing is: I whine, overanalyze and procrastinate with intensity.
2) But all my friends made a list so I wanted to, too. Thing #2: I’m a follower.
3) Hey, this is actually pretty easy.
4) What? #3 isn’t a real thing and I’m not taking this Facebook meme seriously? Fine. I’m sorry. Let’s see. I once played a three-headed dragon in a children’s musical. Well, more accurately, I played one-third of a three-headed dragon in a children’s musical.
5) I’m often confused. For instance, my entire life, I thought I was Cantonese until a few years ago when my parents told me I’m actually Toisan (Chinese village people). That was heartbreaking.
6) I tried to cook once last December, but had a traumatic experience that involved a jalapeno seed and my eye. I don’t want to talk about it.
7) I’ve chosen a career in journalism, which has been my life’s biggest thrill and deepest curse.
8) I overuse hot sauce, the color black in my wardrobe and adverbs.
9) There are more things that I am bad at than I am good at. BAD: responding to emails, organization, self-control, hand-eye coordination, dancing, fingernail maintenance, fake smiling, driving, sewing, patience, practicality. GOOD: handling spicy food, Saved By The Bell trivia. See?
10) I don’t like airplanes, too much pink and dog kisses.
11) I have a boyfriend. At first I thought he was the lucky one (obviously, right?), but over the years, he’s brainwashed me into thinking I’m the lucky one. It’s weird and disturbing.
12) I’m obsessed with naming my hypothetical daughter. Yes, I have a list.
13) I miss certain people from my past, but have not made the effort to tell them this for there’s no turning back so what’s the point?
14) I wish I had clearer goals right now.
15) I’m more grateful for things after I leave them. Which sucks.
16) I think my days would be 2,000 shades brighter if I made sure to get 9 hours of sleep each night.
17) I have a little plastic strawberry that’s filled with lip gloss and it’s so cute, oh-em-gee. (Sorry, had to perk this list up a bit.)
18) My name was “Miguelita” in my middle school Spanish class.
19) In high school, my friend gave me the nickname “Pretty Sloth.”
20) Other nicknames I’ve had include: My Shoe, Mishkabobs, Mish, Meesh, Chelle, Shelly Belly, M-Woo, Woo, Woo Woo … I think that’s it.
21) The little patch on my neck is eczema and not a hickey, so shut up.
22) I’m pretty nice.
23) I have a sister. When she sees me, she always says, “Hi sister.” Then I say, “Hi brother.” I don’t know why.
24) I’m not that smart.
25) But I’m done! BOOYAH!
BONUS! 26) I say “Booyah” a lot, which I really need to stop doing.
LOL MIGUELITAAAAAAAAAAAA ;)
ps. I know how hard it is not to give in on this, but whenever people mock me I will just say peer pressure.
#23 made me spit out my coffee a little bit! that’s really cute and funny.
#14 – don’t we all? and i refuse to believe that there is one person out there (well, besides Oprah) that has all of their sh*! together.
i refuse.
You tagged me for this on FB. It’s not likely I’ll do it but maybe I’ll tell you 25 things I love about you instead.
Deal?
Don’t freak out, but there’s another meme going around FB. This one to do with songs or something.
And I love the word BOOYAH! Can’t say it enough.
It’s ok to bow to peer pressure every once in a while.
P.S. My sister says “hi sister” when she sees me and I say “hi poodle.” At least your response connects to the original greeting in some way.
Re: #11
Your renewal fees are due. To continue on with your relationship subscription please send your payment in by March 1st.
I could not agree with 13 and 15 more (and now that I think about it, they are kind of related…hrmm…)
Sorry the meme has taken part of your soul. That is why I’m still staunchly refusing to participate…well that and the fact that mine would not be as amusing as yours.
a jalapeno seed to the eye just sounds incredibly painful, oy.
Number 23 made me laugh really hard. I don’t know why.
I have yet to give into this trend.
