10 random things you might not know about me...

Ten random things most people don't know about me...

1. I have conversations with myself.... sometimes. Normally it is me thinking out loud.. but sometimes I feel stupid after I realize what I am doing.
Me: "Uh oh, I think we put too much salt.. How can we fix that? Hmm, maybe we can scoop it out. Yeah, that's a good idea."
or
Me: "I have to buy more juice. I should write that down so that I don't forget. Well, you're only going to the store for 3 things... will you really forget? Maybe it is better to write all three down and this way I am sure I will not forget anything...

2. I know no moderation. I do everything at an extreme. I spend money extremely. I drive extremely stupidly. I talk extremely quietly. I talk an extreme amount. I can be extremely loud when I yell or scream. I am extremely nice or extremely bitchy. I waste extreme amounts of time on the internet or I spend no time on the internet.

3. I take most of my pictures after I have had a drink or two. There is something about alcohol that makes me want to take stupid pictures.

4. Most nights I have horrible nightmares. I wake up in the middle of the nightmare and most times I am unable to fall asleep again.

5. I normally buy things in bulk. I do not know why I do this. I live alone. I do not really need anything in bulk... but I feel like I just have to buy shitloads of everything.

6. I think bald guys are sexy. I think bald guys in suits are incredibly sexy.

7. I love men's undershirts. I wear them under my shirts a lot. I wear them with my pajamas. Funny thing is, I hate women's undershirts....

8. Feet disgust me. My feet and other people's feet too. Sometimes I freak out if someone's feet touch me... on better days I just get incredibly uncomfortable and move away very very quickly.

9. I am addicted to stationary shops. Whenever I go into one I spend hours just looking. I always buy things that I do not need. I always convince myself that I need 50 more pens.

10. My purse is always filled with a shitload of crap that I do not need. I am able to go out with just my cell phone, money, and cigarettes.... but when I go out and I have a purse with me.. for some reason I think about weird shit that I might need that night. Bandaids, a pen, paper, safety pins, make up, gum, a charger for my phone, medicine, perfume, chapstick, a camera, etc, etc, etc.... Things are much worse when I have one of my huge bags with me... I'll start carrying even more random shit....

So, what are 10 random things about you?

(Fesh.. Umm, I noticed that nobody asked you to answer this one. Just another point that proves my case!! Anyway, if sympathy tags exist.. than I guess that's what you could call this..)

Teaching is not always easy...

Sometimes you have to decide if you should correct sentences like these or not...

So, if I change the sentence and the girl asks me why her sentence is wrong... what do I say...?

Hmm, I think I will leave it for now, I am sure somewhere along the way she will understand why this is wrong!

My goal can beat up your goal...

I was asked what my goals in life were...
I did not have to think about it at all, I know what my goals are.
Actually, I know what my goal is...
My life goal is to be happy...

When I said this the guy asking me just laughed. He said he wanted a serious answer. I told him that I am serious... and that I know that my one goal could beat up all his little goals... (ok, at times I am a bit competitve.. in a child-like way)!
So, I explained...
With my one goal I keep myself on track. I think about life, I evaluate where I am and what I do not like.. and then I start to change things.
Being happy is not a momentary feeling. It is not only a feeling associated with partying. It is not only a feeling from being with a guy you like.. it encompasses all.
I know that I want to be more independent, that will make me happy.
I know that I want to save more money, that will make me happy.
I know that I want to travel the world, that will make me happy.
I know that I want to be a stronger person, that will make me happy.
I know that I want to be a good friend, that will make me happy.
I know that I want to think about religion more, that will make me happy.
I know that I want to be respectable in all that I do, that will make me happy.

So, my one goal encompasses all.. but at the same time it is a very easy way of determining what I want oout of life...
Hmm, that is all the money I have in the bank. Am I happy with that? No. Ok, So I need to spend less and save more. Ok..

So.. I bet my goal can beat up your goal!!

;oP

Maybe I am not so bad...

I had a weird conversation yesterday at work.
It was with my semi-boss.
He is a nice guy.. I think. He is kind and helpful. He used to flirt with me at the beginning of the year. He stopped when I told him I had a boyfriend. I respected that. He did not know that my guy and I broke up a few months ago until a few weeks ago when he asked me how things were because he sees I am really happy now.
Since he found out my guy and I broke up I sometimes get the feeling that he is being different with me again. He looks at me differently. He lets my fuck ups slide with less hassle. He is more keen on helping me.
Anyway, yesterday we were talking about how rumors about us are flying around school. We spoke about the rumors. We laughed about the stupidity of it all.
He was being nice and told me that I am a topic of rumors because I have a very large fan base at the school. He said that everybody thinks I am a great person. He said that he always overhears people talking about how nice, kind, and generous I am. He kept telling me nice things.. My ego liked it.
And then he told me that I am one of the few people who intimidate him. I laughed. Those of you who know me, know that I am not intimidating at all. He told me that I am very intimidating. He says that as a guy it is scary to see such a kind, frail, independent woman. It is scary to see a woman who laughs from her soul. It is scary to see a woman with the ability to love her students so strongly. It is intimidating to see a woman who knows what she wants and what will make her happy. It is scary when I woman is able to express herself and call you on your shit so easily. It is intimidating when a woman demands respect for herself in every aspect, and is outspoken enough to get it. He said it is indimidating to see such a strong woman.
I told him that it is only intimidating to close minded oppressive controlling people... He disagreed.
He said it puts pressure on the man to be strong and perfect. It puts pressure on him to make her laugh. It puts pressure on a man to protect and defend her, but at the same time let her protect and defend herself. It puts pressure on a man to know what she wants even when she doesn't say it. It puts pressure on a man to actually think about what he is saying and rid his conversations of the bullshit he spews.
I do not know if I am right or wrong.. but I felt he had feelings for me.
I freaked out and asked him to sign some work paper and ran to my classroom...

It was a weird conversation that has left me thinking since yesterday... but at the same time it made me feel great that people view me as all of those things....

Maybe I am not as bad as I view myself sometimes...

The downside of sleeping early...

I went to bed early last night. I just couldn't go out and party with them. I was tired. So, I stayed and I slept..
It felt great.. until this morning when I found myself awake at 7am. I found myself unable to stay in bed any longer.
I have a very long "To Do" list to tackle.. but I am not up for that now.
I just want to sit around and do nothing. I just want to sit around and be alone with my thoughts...
I guess I want to waste obscene amounts of valuable time doing nothing useful...

At times like this... Blogthings always comes to my rescue...
;)

Useless quizzes, pointless questions, complete bullshit... ahhh the good things in life!

My Dream Job...

Ideally, your job should be something that makes you jump out of bed every morning eager to face the world. It should make you smile. It should make you always feel and look your best. It should keep you surrounded by people that you like being with....

I have realized that my dream job would be something with Volkswagon... something with Volkswagon Passat customer service....

Passat owners, for some reason, are:
1. mainly male
2. in their late 20's or early 30's
3. extremely good looking
4. owners of really sexy watches
5. fast drivers
6. fucking hot!!!!

Damn, how I would love to get a job at VW....

Choices...

In life we make many choices.

We choose a major in university,
we choose the color of our cars,
we choose music to play,
we choose places to have dinner,
we choose friends,
we choose who to love,
we choose the people we will confide in,
we choose people to hate,
we choose to trust,
we choose to believe,
we choose to overreact to situations,
we choose to be crazy,
we choose to fall in love,
we choose to share a first kiss,
we choose to share many other kisses,
we choose the color of the drapes,
we choose to wake up every morning and live our lives,
we choose to make love to a person,
we choose a job,
we choose to be nice,
we choose to be mean,
we choose to hurt and
we choose to heal….

With so many choices in life it is easy to lose appreciation for the choices made by others…

It is easy to not appreciate that a person has chosen you to confide in.
It is easy to not think that being chosen to share a kiss is special,
It is easy to think that being chosen for anything is not a big deal,
It is easy to feel nothing when someone chooses you to be something…

So, I want to tell you that I appreciate all the times I was chosen to be confided in,
I appreciate all the times I heard the words “I love you”,
I appreciate being chosen to share a kiss,
I appreciate being made a person that you will never forget…
