MEME
'cause I'm bored
snagged from sheld0n, who I stumbled upon looking for textures.
Ten Things You Don't Know About Me
1. I HATE silence, but when it snows I could just stand outside for hours and listen to the silence of snowfall.
2. I love the various sounds made when you walk on different surfaces, from sand (I like the sound of it shifting beneath my feet), to snow (I like its crunch) to concrete (I like how solid it sounds).
3. I grew up running around in the woods in my back yard, so I'm more graceful jumping and running among piles of ROCKS than I am walking through a hallway.
4. I'm a big hedonist; I love things that feel good. interpret that as you will.
5. I love to sing, but more people fixate on my sister's than on mine.
6. I often come across as a bit of an airhead (I mean, seriously. look how often I spazz about things), but I'm really actually a very thoughtful person.
7. I can obsess over a song, listen to it for a month straight and not get sick of it. but if I hear it too often on the radio? I never want to hear it again.
8. I have a very sturdy stomach. you can tell me ANYTHING while I'm eating, show me anything, and I may pause for a moment but I won't stop or throw up.
9. when I'm really hungry? my stomach will go through various stages. first it will ache. then it will growl. then it will BUBBLE. shortly beyond the bubbling stage is a stage of hollowness where I know I'm hungry because it DOESN'T hurt.
10. despite popular belief, I actually have a very good memory. it's just often about things nobody cares about, or little things that no one in their right mind should remember.
Ten Good Things I Have Realised About Myself
1. I'm very good at cheering people up if they're depressed or in a bad mood.
2. I love to help people. if a friend of mine needs help with something, and I can do something about it? I will.
3. I can ACCOMPLISH things, when I put my mind to it. doing so also makes me feel really good about myself.
4. I'm good at making icons. a year ago, I sucked. XD 'cause I was so used to making things like website layouts, that something as small as an icon was a challenge. now, it's the opposite.
5. I'm very open-minded, and becoming moreso. a year ago, I wouldn't have watched something I thought I'd hate, but my friend Josh wanted us to watch the South Park movie and we did. and there were actually a couple funny parts. (read: 3)
6. I'm improving the way I look at things, the way I do things. it's a really cool feeling. XD
7. I'm a natural artist, on all different fronts. I've been drawing since I was a kid, writing since I was in fifth grade, singing since I could talk, reading since I could actually understand the words, and I've been taking photography since I was thirteen and making icons for several months now.
8. I can get into very thorough discussions on technique, style, etc. about pretty much ANY form of art. get me started on why I like Naruto, for example, and you're pretty much screwed and stuck sitting there with me for hours until I finish. XD
9. I love the relationship between my sister and me.
10. I know when to be honest, and when to give a little white lie to make people feel better, or to make a bad situation a little better.
Ten Bad Things I Have Realised About Myself
1. I'm really impulsive; I have this bad habit of doing things before I think about, be it reacting to something or just SAYING things.
2. I'm very impatient. I hate to wait for things, and I often drive people crazy when I have to. waiting in lines? I end up poking my sister and generally acting like a three-year-old.
3. I hate that I have such a short attention span. it takes a LOT of effort for me to actually stick to something if I don't want to do it.
4. I'm fairly hotheaded, and I get upset very easily. yet another case where my impulsiveness is a BAD thing.
5. I obsess INSANELY. once I'm obsessed with something, EVERYTHING reminds me of it, everything is related to it.
6. I have difficulty focusing.
7. if I'm really hyper, it's REALLY hard to calm me down. the only person who can really do it is my sister.
8. my brain is always moving. no matter how quiet I appear to be to everyone around me, my mind is flying a million miles an hour. it's hard to think, sometimes, because I'll have one thought and thirty seconds later I'll be in a totally different place and won't even remember how my train of thought GOT me there.
9. I hate how hypocritical I can be at times. I've tried my best to fix it, and it helps that a lot of my friends will TELL me, but...*sigh*
10. I'm often afraid to speak my mind, for fear that those around me will just scorn me. or I'm afraid I'll say something angry that I'll regret, and it's awful.
well. this was harder than I thought it would be! XD;
on a sidenote, I'm going over steph's in a little while to play cards and just hang out. I'll be there most of the night. *shrug*
