100 Things
- I always read the About page on the blogs I read
- I like to know a little about the person who writes it
- And yet, I’m finding it difficult to write about myself
- I had a blog once before
- I wrote a total of 5 posts in one month before I abandoned it altogether
- It stuck around on the interweb for about 18 months before I finally deleted it
- I procrastinate
- This habit has caused me many, many problems
- And yet, somehow I am incapable of breaking myself from it
- I also used to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock repeatedly
- But I broke myself from that habit eventually
- It was a dream of mine to live in Australia
- Not just to visit, but to live
- That dream has been fulfilled, but it wasn’t as good as the dream I made it out to be
- I love to exercise
- But I still find it difficult to motivate myself to do it
- I always feel good after I go to the gym
- Must be the endorphins
- I dislike cardiovascular exercise, especially running
- But I still want to participate in a 5k race, working my way up to a half-marathon
- This is illogical
- I love weight lifting and resistance exercise
- It is a pet peve of mine when women don’t lift weights because they think they will “bulk up”
- I could go on and on about misconceptions people have about exercise
- But I wont, because it would take up the remainder of the 100 things
- And this is not meant to be an exercise blog
- I started cycling and trail rides with my boyfriend in the Summer of 2007
- This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
- I participated in the Late Ride in the city of Chicago
- It was really cool
- I randomly saw a friend from college there that I hadn’t spoke to in almost 6 years at the starting line
- Neither of us are from Chicago
- I had the song “It’s a small world” in my head for the whole ride
- I am easily entertained
- But I also get bored easily
- I love to read
- I am sad that I have little time for it
- I love science
- Especially biology and organic chemistry
- I like physics too
- But I’m really bad at it
- I am in grad school and will be using some of my science knowledge in my future career
- My future career is one that makes people think they can ask you your professional advice even when you are not working
- This is highly annoying
- I try not to let people know what I am going to school for
- This if difficult, since this is usually the first thing people ask
- I avoid telling people what I do because of number 43
- I have a cat
- His name is Titanium
- I call him Titan most of the time
- He answers to his name and is trained to sit
- I wouldn’t generally consider myself a “cat person”
- But Titan is one of the most dog-like cats I know
- I met my boyfriend on an online dating site
- He’s not crazy
- Well, maybe a little
- I dislike the word “hate”
- But there are a few things that I do hate, such as racism
- I find that ironic
- I wear size 11 shoes
- Probably more like 10.5
- But there are few manufactures that make size 10.5
- I haven’t knit socks yet
- But I do have sock yarn and needles waiting for me
- I love music
- I used to say that I listen to everything but country and rap
- This isn’t true, since I do like a few songs in each of those genres.
- SOME of my favorite artist/bands are: Ben Folds, The Dresden Dolls, Rammstein, Tool, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Linkin Park, Cake, Depeche Mode
- I don’t have a favorite song, I could never choose.
- I could probably narrow it down to a top 50 if forced
- I used to be active in community theatre when I was in high school
- I spelled theatre the British way intentionally
- I miss that part of my life a lot
- I wasn’t and actor
- I was stage manager, technical director and a crew/set member
- Backstage is where it’s at
- I considered going to school to become a stage manager
- Sometimes I think that would have been a better decision for me
- I love to cook, primarily because I love to eat
- I am not shy about foods, that is, I eat pretty much everything
- There are very few foods that I don’t like
- I draw the line at insects, offal, feet, tongues, reproductive organs, etc.
- It upsets me when people are unwilling to try something new
- I am particularly into Thai, Indian, Mexican and Japanese food
- I rarely cook a recipe 100% to specifications
- I also rarely knit a pattern exactly as it is written
- I consider myself a Jack of all trades and Master of none
- I wish I could be a master of something
- I used to sing in a few different groups
- Over the years, I’ve lost all the semi-talent I had, but I still sing anyway
- I am quite shy
- I can spend weeks alone at home with no outside contact with the world and be perfectly happy
- Thus, I rarely make any plans with my friends, If they want to do something with me, they call
- This blog will be an exercise in sharing, among other things
- I also tend towards the depressive
- I’m working on that
- I’m a Taurus
- I love to travel
- I prefer even numbers
- My favorite color is a certain hard to describe shade of blue
