What I'm Really Like

from JoeUser Forums
I like to sleep. I hate getting up before 9 am.

I love pizza. And pasta with just sauce. I could eat one of those two things for every meal.

I like a big tall swirl of whipped cream on top of my hot cocoa.

I hate driving.

I'm a hypochondriac and something's always wrong with me.

I get ear infections all the time. Probably because I love to take bubble baths and the water stays in my ears.

I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

I could play Zoo Tycoon for hours and hours.

I like to shop for clothes, but I don't like to do it alone.

I always leave my soda cans and junk in the car and I only clean it out when I have to.

I'm completely law abiding -- I don't speed and I pay for everything I download.

I am shy around people I don't know and tend to act like a retard.

I love Smirnoff Ice, and in fact I pretty much just enjoy drinking.

I only do the laundry when it becomes a necessity, but I love the way the house smells when the dryer is going.

I use my cell phone as an alarm because I hate the way alarm clocks sound.

I love photographs, but I hardly have any of myself because I'm always the one taking the pictures.

I haven't had a haircut in over a year because I don't trust anyone and I won't leave my kids with someone just to have a haircut.

I am very allergic to any jewelery except for gold. I wear a broken blue plastic watch that I got for Christmas last year.

I'm scared of everything. I'm scared that someone will break into my house and kill me. I'm scared that my plane will crash. I cover my eyes during scary movies. I'm scared that I will fall when I am up high. I am scared that my children will run out into the road. I'm scared of mannequins and knives and Halloween masks.

My favorite place in the world is Hanauma Bay, but snorkeling scares me, too.

I don't like to hike. I don't like being hot and out of breath. I like to be inside.

I repeat myself constantly. I tell the same stories or bits of information over and over again.

I have freckles on my back and on my arms and I have some that have almost disappeared across my cheeks and nose.

I loved 28 Days Later and I think the guy in that movie is incredibly hot.

I am a pack rat when it comes to paperwork, but I am lazy about filing so I have stacks of paper in various places around the house.

I love that my kids are smart asses, and they make me laugh everyday.

My favorite holiday movie is Mixed Nuts.

I think my first name is slutty.

I burn CDs for myself and then listen to the same songs over and over again, and I don't get bored of it.

I really like to play Animal Crossing on Game Cube and Monopoly and Risk and Tribond board games.

The best thing I've ever eaten was the San Antonio Roll from Zushi Sushi back in Texas.

I am awestruck every time I see the ocean.

Despite my best efforts not to, I care what others think about me.

I like to draw but rarely find a good occasion to do it.

I laugh when my boys fart or burp, even though I don't want to encourage them.

I have a thing for men in uniform.

I love Our Lady Peace and have been listening to a rotation of 'Clumsy' and 'Do You Like It' for the past half hour.

I'm not a very good cook, but I have a great chocolate chip cookie recipe and I enjoy preparing food for people that I care about.

I tend to either procrastinate or over prepare, depending on the task. I have been in a bind before due to lack of planning and I have lugged way too much stuff with me to the beach or the doctor's office.

I never wear shoes inside the house.

I love to laugh and be silly, and that is pretty much my default setting.

I overreact a lot of the time, and then later I have to apologize for being so nuts.

I have very low self-esteem and seek constant reassurance that I am OK and worthwhile.

I lack common sense and usually do things in the most difficult way possible.

I get excited about small, insignificant things, and usually find messed up plans and weird situations fun and memorable.

I drink Diet Vanilla Coke, but what I really want to drink is Dr. Pepper.

My favorite scent is the Yankee Candles' Clean Cotton.

I like to watch stand up comedy, and I think Wanda Sykes is more funny than annoying.

I don't believe people when they compliment me.

I've never owned a good camera.

I like to get roses, but a handpicked flower placed behind my ear is even better.

I don't like yelling. I don't like to yell and I don't like being yelled at.

I tend to see only the good in people I like and only the bad in people I don't . . . and I don't know what determines which is which.

I'm too rotten to be a Christian, but too wholesome to fit in with those who are not.

I am completely loyal and faithful to people that I care about.

I hardly watch TV anymore. I forget when things come on.

I've only had a handful of really good friends in my lifetime.

I am needy, I am whiny, I am annoying, I am broken.

I am a lot to handle. But someday, someone will think I'm worth the effort.

myrrander: Yeah, I really like Zoo Tycoon, but mine is not working. Someday I'm going to get me another copy, though, cause I think it's really fun.

BlueDev: Thanks. Glad you liked it.

alison:

shovel: I don't think you have a slutty first name.

LL: Thanks.





If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor, lying on the floor
I've come undone

I don't want to destroy your sweater
Let's be friends and just walk away
Hate to see you lyin' there in your Superman skivvies
Lying on the floor, lying on the floor
I've come undone

Nothing wrong with being bizarre

Loved the list, Tex. We have lots in common. My favorite line to see you write, though:

someone will think I'm worth the effort.


Good for you. That is the attitude I like reading from you. Baby steps, dear. We believe in you.

manopeace: Thanks. It's very difficult to receive so much love and yet still not be loved by the one person whose love and affection I crave.

That was really mean. Tex was going through a rough patch and not nuts. I trolled you for that.

We all love you Tex. Some people just don't think before typing.

Lovvens,

I'm a ferrero roche chocolate girl myself--well, in fact, any chocolate will do.

quite an exhautive list--very impressive.

I'm too rotten to be a Christian, but too wholesome to fit in with those who are not.


are you saying non-christians aren't wholesome? I don't think you need to be christian to have morals.

Good list, tex...I also have only a handful of close friends...I'm an intensely personal person by nature (believe it or not).

As for being "too rotten to be a Christian", I would suggest a close look at some of the folks Christ hung out with...there's plenty of room for us "misfits" (you should archive my "Confessions of a Misfit Christian" articles...you might find something there).

I like to sleep. I hate getting up before 9 am.

11 am is the perfect time. The sun is already up and the birds are chirping outside.

I don't like yelling. I don't like to yell and I don't like being yelled at.
It's counterproductive and yelling doesn't solve anything -- just escalates the problem.

I use my cell phone as an alarm because I hate the way alarm clocks sound.
There's a commercial which advertises one of the early morning television stations in MI which uses the annoying alarm clock sound. Alarm clocks are loud and they stay on on the screeching. I've never had an alarm clock.

Reminds me of the alerts in Korea. I still can't hear that siren noise without wanting to jump out of my skin. Used to wake up to it 'bout three in the morning at least once a month, and scared the shit out of me every friday at noon.

I cover my eyes during scary movies.


I loved 28 Days Later


like my wife. She likes the scary movies, but they scare the crap out of her.
