tag...again!

i just realized...why the hell didn't i post this in my ACTUAL blog??? so here it is....

1) my right leg is rather unlucky. sprained ankle, 2 burns, and innumerable other mishaps, the most recent being a dramatic knee skid while running to cross the street, in heels and a dress, because i was late to an opera.

2) i love words, pardon my superfluous verbiage. i love lowercase. and properly used caesuras. i secretly like being challenged to write. (providing the challenge is a good one with purpose). and i write. a lot. it's my primary catharsis.

3) i would be totally screwed without friends, music, art, and chocolate. but most especially friends…you know who you are. ^__^

4) i am a first degree brown belt in jujitsu. i wrote my college essay on my 7 years practicing it. i should technically be a black belt, but i was too scared to test for it. i miss it all the time.

5) strange obsessions: duckies and sausage. XD

6) things i want to do in my lifetime: travel the world, swim with jellyfish, buy outrageously expensive shoes with my own money, and fall in love.

7) i mispronounce things constantly. they're known as bessie-isms, and the list grows ever longer. popular ones: archipelago, fuschia, salmon, etc. etc. etc.

8) it's a terrible habit, but i can never say no, without feeling horribly guilty (like can't-sleep-can't-think-of-anything-else kind of guilty). i also have this constant need to help others, to be the vault for one way secrets, to be involuntarily yet voluntarily the diplomatic advisor. I have thus come to blame it as my personality, as part of my inherent being and existence.

9) something i always note on first impressions: people's legs from the knee down. don't ask me why.

10) whenever i smell fried fish, fried eggs, or fried spam, i think of home.

11) i'm still not quite sure exactly why i want to be a nurse, but i like it so far, and i think it fits me.

12) i believed in santa claus until i was twelve.

13) favorites:

-season = fall

-food with ketchup = eggs

-ride at Disneyland = matterhorn after dark

-kids cereal = apple jacks/cinnamon toast crunch tie

-color = green

-candy = sour apple rings/starburst tie

-smell = new books

-ice cream = tiramisu

-flower = snapdragons

-holiday = christmas

-commerical = sony bravia...BRILLIANT! i loved this one, and this one too.

14) i almost never wear jewelry. i will wear necklaces and bracelets on rare occasion. i like the idea of rings, but i always lose them. i hate earrings and wearing pearls with fierce indignance. you wear them.

15) i failed my first driving test, and i took another one at a different dmv the next day and passed.

16) i had a really happy childhood, and i don't say it enough, but i'm grateful beyond words and i love my family with all my heart. :)

so i tagged people already, yay emie and elaine! one person i'm retagging....aimiface. do this!
