Because
yabureta tagged me and I won't say "no" to her.
► Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about him or herself.
► Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
► At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. NO TAGS SORRY :(
1 → If you leave things like popsicle sticks, tooth picks, or any flimsy wood around me for at least an hour, I will bite it apart and leave little slivers all over.
2 → In the same vein as the thing above: I carry things in my mouth constantly. I also won't give people my car keys because the clicker is very frequently in my mouth. It's gotten to the point where I open, close, lock, and pop the trunk with my canines and/or tongue because my hands are very frequently full when going to the car or leaving it.
3 → I can't wear jewelry for longer than half a day. I've tried to wear practically every type of metal except platinum. Everything I wear for too long makes my skin break out into red rash in that area. When I was really young, I aggressively wore a ring that a boy gave me even though it tore my finger apart. I had an ugly oozy ring sore around my finger for weeks. That's when I learned I should only wear rings sometimes.
4 → When I say I don't want to date, I'm being honest. I have no interest in dating. I have had several opportunities to date since I've been in Florida and endless ones in Wisconsin. I just don't want to do it. I've gotten over the intimacy part. I don't think it's the fear of intimacy that's getting me more than "I don't want to have to adjust my way of life for anyone." I'm too selfish and unwilling to compromise at this point in my life.
5 → If anyone ever threatens me with an "or else!" scenario, I'll never behave the way they expected me to behave. I may say something to the effect of "haha or else what? What would you do? Talk badly about me?" or generally be childish. If it's someone I like, I'll probably say something like "I didn't think you were the type to say something so silly" and still make my opinion on it known without being as offensive.
These days, I make friends with people who say "Please don't tell anyone else," which goes over much better and those are things that are guaranteed not to get out of me.
6 → I take part in more charity events and donate more money to charity than I care to mention. Nobody will ever know how much I actually participate in that kind of stuff while they call me selfish and tell me I'm a horrible person, and I'm happy with that.
7 → The world goes easy on girls if you'll acknowledge it for what it is and take advantage of it, especially if a girl has long hair. Most people have too much pride because it's "disgusting" or "they shouldn't be like that" or some other complaint that generally falls against people not treating women equally. They shouldn't do what they do. I'll agree there, but the truth is I have absolutely no problem exploiting people who fall into the trap of treating girls like they're precious gems or incapable of doing something just because they're girls. If they're sexist like that, I'm just enough of an asshole to get what I want out of that kind of person.
8 → I like compliments and I love to give them. My day isn't complete if I don't compliment somebody; I give them liberally and never lie about them. If it's a compliment from me, it's always something I genuinely like about you, a piece you've written, or a thing you've drawn. I always target what I like the most.
I've heard complimenting people so frequently (especially pretty girls) makes me a lesbian who hits on girls and I shouldn't do that because it makes the girls awkward and uncomfortable. If anything, since then, I've started to do it even more since girly girls in general love compliments and it's a rare few who actually, genuinely don't.
