I've been tagged, and nothing stops a tag. Wait...what does "tagging" even mean?
Allright allright i've been tagged by Deb so I've GOT to post now. But I feel the slow death of Livejournal coming on, since I rarely post here anymore...anyways.
i would "tag" some others just like i've been "tagged" but uh, to be honest, i really don't know many others than use livejournal besides nick, deb and elena...maybe i should be aware of some more friends that use this...
Okay withuout further adeiu here are my six random facts about...me.
1. I still sleep with the covers over my head...and I always fall asleep in almost exactly the same position. It's weird, but I can fall asleep very very quickly if I'm laying on my stomach with my head turned to the left. Why to the left? Because that was the direction in which my face faced the wall in my room in Davis, which is the bed I slept in more than any other. I guess I just felt more comfortable facing a wall. As for why I still sleep with the covers, it's cause i used to be really scared of the dark and it made me comfortable to fall asleep with the covers over my head, and it just made me feel safe. I guess I never gave up the habit, but it does make me really hot, so I don't think I do it as much anymore...wow anyways, moving on, that really wasn't that interesting.
2. I'm going to Echo Elena on this one: I have no sense of direction. At all. I don't know North, South, East or West...and I always have a hard time remembering how to get places. It takes me many times to go to the same place unless maybe I know the city really really well...and even then...being away from Davis for the year up in Chico made me forget how to get to a few places, and I grew up here. How sad is that? And quite frankly, most people aren't very tolerable of this weakness...they get quite annoyed with my always asking where to go when they are sitting shotgun. If only it would be viewed as a disability, then maybe people wouldn't get so frustrated with me!
3. I check my e-mail, myspace, espn.com, facebook, etc. WAY too much. I hate it. I feel like I do this every time I sit down at the computer. I'm really trying to break this evil habit. Sometimes I wish computers were never invented. They take the place of human interaction way too often and it annoys me. And I hate the fact that I like using myspace and facebook because they are practical. I just wish I didn't have the option. Oh well, gotta make do with the times.
4. I have found myself enjoying food way less than I used to. I think college did this to me. I got tired of having to leave my room to eat, and then when i got to the dining hall, eating the same thing all the time. The quality wasn't THAT bad, but the variety was. There were times when my schedule was more important than eating..and I would find myself hungry, and be like, oh yeah, i need to go eat! What is up with that? Luckily i think this bad habit will be broken at camp when you are on a schedule and you don't have a choice when you eat, and I like the camp food more than most people...
5. I pee really really fast. I can hold my pee for a long time, and I've got great bladder control, so I don't think it's that I don't have a big bladder and and I just pee a little amount out really quick. I swear, if you lined me up next to 50 guys and we all had to fill a cup, I would be in the top 5 in time. I honestly think I just pee fast, and I'm not sure how...and sometimes I feel embarrased when I am in a public bathroom using a urinal and I walk up, start peeing, and the guys next to me are still peeing when I leave, and they were there peeing, BEFORE i even got there! Either they have bladders the size of China, or they pee as fast as a sloth.
6. I hate the Rap/Gangster lifestyle. (sorry to semi-copy you nick but your hick one made me think of this) I think it sends the stupidest message. %0 cent's "get rich or die trying" motto is just so lame. Life is not about money, or how many bitches you can get. Or how much bling you can wear. Or how many hummers and escalades you can pimp out better than the other black dude. Seriously, be real, be yourself. You don't have to wear your yankees hat tilted to the side, just because Jay-Z and MTV tell you to. Stop fullfilling a negative stereotype. Okay and I know not ALL rappers are like this, and that I am over-generalizing myself. But please, stop using the same beats over and over and singing about the same things. Stan Tookie Williams, the leader of the Crips gang who was put to death by Capital Punishment, tried to tell his "followers" to stop following in his footsteps. He said that being "Gangster" isn't cool. I couldn't agree with him more. Oh yeah, and one more thing, the "white" lifestyle is hardly any better. This is just one that has annoyed me, but there are plenty of things wrong with tons of other "lifestyles" out there. Oh and on a more positive note: There are also plently of things right with some of these lifestyles too...
Okay well I hope those weren't too long and I'm sorry if i cheated and piggybacked off of some of your guys's answers. They just got me thinking! Be grateful I even posted here! I can't believe I still post here, I'm not sure if anyone besides, maybe, Deb reads this...
Adios Kids, enjoy the sunshine
