I read my friend Jocelyn's blog today. She posted a very honest assessment of herself, listing all kinds of things about her, both good and bad. It sort of inspired me, so I will attempt to do the same.
I'm a big chicken and can't watch scary movies. I frequently dream about tornadoes. I think that guys lie about their height. I used to listen to country music and I know how to two-step. I know how to say, "You wanna fight?" in Korean. I am the queen of the snooze button. I once snoozed for 4 hours in college. Snoozed right through my class. My dog is on a diet. I love reality TV shows like Fear Factor, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Beauty and the Geek and The Biggest Loser. I'm in love with Fitzwilliam Darcy. I get grumpy when I'm tired. It's worse if I'm hungry too. I think 'your mama' jokes never get old. (But your mama is old.) I'm scared of sushi. I operate on Jan Standard Time, which is roughly 10 minutes behind Central Standard Time. My mind works best late at night, but that makes it hard to go to bed, which means that it's hard to get up so I snooze a lot. My parents are divorced. It freaks my mom out that I'm 28 and not married. But I think she's really only afraid that it freaks me out that I'm 28 and not married. I'm not freaked out that I'm 28 and not married. I'd like to adopt someday. I don't have cable TV and I get 99.9% of my news from here and here. I hate using the mouse and prefer to use hotkeys. I love Quicken. I like to paint my nails weird colors. I think manicures are awesome. I love Barq's Root Beer. (It has caffeine.) I'm self-centered. I'm a control freak. Sometimes people just don't get my sense of humor. Sometimes some pretty outlandish things come out of my mouth, but I rarely wish that I could take them back. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. You wanna know something about me? Just ask. I'll probably tell you. I'm a commitment-phobe. Marriage scares me. I still wish I could be an astronaut when I grow up. I loved Sudoku way before it was cool. My favorite movie is The Princess Bride. I wish my name was Buttercup. I like to talk about myself. (Hence, the blog.) I love asking hard questions. Oh, yeah. And I'm human.

"I started a joke which started the whole world crying."
I'm glad you decided to write your own assessment. I think everybody should just put it all out there. So...now that I've drummed up a following of loyal readers. Why wouldn't anyone want to read my writing? Why can't I get a job for any kind of publication? Oh, yeah...I haven't really applied...we'll stick with that excuse, for now. Whatever lies I have to tell myself...
Btw, waking up at 9 a.m. today was AMAZING!!! I mean, obviously, if I were homeless I could wake up every day at 9, but we want to aim higher than that, right? Time to regroup and get rid of my "squaller" lifestyle.
The main character's name in The Princess Bride is Buttercup. If I had to pick another name, I would pick Elizabeth Bennett. (She's the main character from Pride & Prejudice.)
laying it all on the line maybe i should try that sometime when i really want to insult myself
