30 Things
30 random facts or goals...
1. Current Obsession: StuumbleUpon.com I could spend hours on that site looking at random shit :)
2. I've never touched alcohol, cigarettes/cigars, or any kind of non-prescriptive drug in my life, and I'm damn proud :)
3. I'm legally blind. My mother could never tell how bad my eye sight was until my step-dad noticed when I was 6 years old (so, basically, I couldn't see at all for the first 5 or 6 years of my life). I wore glasses up until age 16, and then I got a clue. But I don't have bad eye sight genetically. I had to be put into an oxygen tank when I was born, so the amount of oxygen being introduced to my eyes damaged them.. but, hey, it was either be blind or be mentally retarded from not having enough oxygen go to my brain :P
4. Forget about marriage, I've had a threesome with Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Bublé. Suck on that one, Claire ;)
5. I'm a Coug at heart, but I really miss the west side and Seattle, so I might end up transferring to UW next year or the year after.
6. I recently had a mid-life crisis (yes, at age 19) where I was conflicted about whether or not to stay pre-vet. I'm 99% sure that I'm not going to be pre-vet anymore. I've decided that being a wildlife biologist and getting my PhD in wildlife ecology fits my dreams a little better, whether I end up living in a box for a while or not, and whether my parents are happy with that decision or not.
7. I've secretly always wanted to move to NYC and just do art for the rest of my life. Don Bluth, Walt Disney (even though he hates Jews :-/), and Jamie Hewlett are my artistic idols.
8. Steve Irwin is my hero. He inspired me to want to help animals :)
9. Before Steve Irwin came into my life, I wanted to be a paleontologist. Then I decided that I couldn't really help dinosaurs anymore, because they're all dead ;) I also have almost the entire "Land Before Time" series. I think I stopped after the "Tinysaurus" one, but I honestly have no clue how many have come out since then.
10. I enjoy being naked. If I didn't have a roommate, I would probably be naked right now :D I have come to be pretty comfortable with my body... even with my "micro-cleave" :) They're just two lumps of fat on your chest.. how attractive. If that's all that matters to a guy anymore, then I'm glad that I'm single. lol
I'm also always down for some strip Twister ;D
11. I'm up to trying just about anything that won't harm my body or goes against my morals. I'm actually quite the tomboy, and I enjoy roughing it and getting a little dirty.
12. I'm as straight as straight can be, but if I had to tap any girl in the world, it would either be Katy Perry or Anne Hathaway. Holy crap.
13. I wish that I could sing. I can learn to play instruments, and people can learn to draw if they practice a lot, but.. singing.. you either can or you can't. :/
14. I don't like the fact that I was able to fall so easily for someone. I view it as a weakness that I was able to open up and trust someone so quickly. It may come as a surprise, but not too long ago, I was dead set on believing that love didn't exist and was a pointless thing that I could easily live without. Sure, I wanted to fall in love eventually and get married later on in my life as most people do, but I couldn't even fathom the idea that someone my age could TRULY recognize and feel that deep of a feeling. I thought that they were stupid if they thought that they could.
15. It's a rare and huge moment if you see me cry. I hate crying in front of people, because, again, I see it as weak. So if you ever see me cry, it means that A) something is REALLY upsetting me, and B) I trust you enough to cry in front of you, which is BIG.
16. I consider myself agnostic because I am confused and lack faith. But I am NOT an atheist because I have an open mind. Don't ever mix the two.
The only religion that I would ever convert to is Judaism.. and that's pretty much only if I ever married into a Jewish family (which may actually be quite likely, since a majority of the guys that I end up liking I find out later are Jewish lol). They tend to have really good morals and family values.
17. I'm procrastinating on a research paper about vikings right now. ;)
18. Mr. King is my other big hero :)
19. I'm a milkoholic (shush, Bryan lol). If it's a dairy product, I can't get enough of it: milk, lattés, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, milkshakes, eggnog, etc.
20. My roommate got me the Charlie Brown Christmas tree to decorate our room :D
21. I *strongly dislike* clingy people, but I have a tendency to be clingy myself...
22. I enjoy making people laugh and I enjoy being around people who can make me laugh. Negative Nancys are no fun. If I can't make you laugh... I feel really disappointed in myself :/
23. I have freakishly long fingers and toes, but I love them :D I'm the E.T. of my generation.
24. I enjoy the challenge of finding a scary movie that will actually scare me. I love the adrenaline rush (in being scared and in just about any other activity that will give me that kind of a rush).
25. I can't remember the last time I ever killed a spider. I will risk getting bitten to move it so that it does not end up getting hurt. I will get EXTREMELY upset if I see you kill any bug in front of me.
26. In case you didn't know already, I am super stubborn. It is both a blessing and a curse ;) I've been working on being less argumentative and controlling. I've decided that there is really no point in starting something that could lead into an argument. I'm just sick of fighting with people that I care about.
27. I try to have no prejudice (especially since my father is very prejudice against pretty much everyone). I try to keep an open mind as best as I can. The only prejudice that I have is against bleach-blonde chicks until they prove to me that the dye from their hair hasn't totally soaked into their brains ;) I also can't stand hypocrites. Don't tell me that you're a good, little Christian girl who is holier than thou and grateful for everything that you have and then proceed to push up your bra to show off your cleavage and complain that you can't have your expensive car in the garage because your parents' car is the garage. Don't tell me that you're a vegan and that you love animals more than me, but have never once volunteered at an animal shelter. Don't tell me that you don't agree with underage drinking but then proceed to spend the night getting wasted because people peer-pressured you into drinking. Stick to your shit.
28. I strongly respect any person who is willing to work their ass off to achieve their dreams. Don't expect everything to be handed to you on a silver plate. I know that I have done that a couple of times, but being around people who are less fortunate than me makes me realize how lucky I am, and then seeing them work so hard to make their dreams come true inspires me to want to work harder. Whining and flashing your money isn't going to get you very far in life.
29. I can die happily now that House has been on "Family Guy": http://www.hulu.com/watch/114989/family-guy-throw-out-the-rule-book
30. Wobbuffet is my favorite pokémon. Suck on that one. ;D
