Song Lyric of the Day:
If i ever forget / It was never so perfect / Such a boring story told / You make me feel so old / But confident
I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness / “Your Worst Is the Best“
8:15AM.
I used my first birthday as a blogger to post my first 100 things about me list. On my first blogging anniversary, I posted 50 more. Since I have nothing better to write about at the moment, here’s another 50 things about me list. Think of this as the 2007 edition.
- Despite my best efforts to resist, I kind of want to see the new Transformers movie.
- It sucks knowing that after this July, there will never be another new Harry Potter book.
- I can’t watch characters get injected with needles in TV shows or movies; I have to cover my eyes.
- I donate blood despite my queasiness about needles.
- It bugs me that I have only one female friend with whom I can watch horror movies; the others are all weenies.
- The last song I bought in iTunes was “Mama Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool J — I love that song. That was two nights ago.
- I hardly ever refer to anything as a guilty pleasure. If I enjoy it, I enjoy it. Why feel guilty?
- I almost fell off my chair when I heard a commercial for the new Fox show Don’t Forget the Lyrics. I immediately thought: Must. Get. On. That. Show.
- I need to take acting classes to pad my acting resume.
- I’m looking forward to my cool brother-in-law Ken taking me shooting sometime (new skill = something else with which to pad my acting resume).
- I’m trying to decide where I want to take a solo vacation this year since Rich is going on two trips by himself.
- My current favorite music video is “U + Ur Hand” by Pink. I think it’s mesmerizing.
- One of my friends cracks me up because she’s super-smart, eloquent, very put together — and a major fangirl.
- I’ve lowered my standards and started drinking skim milk at home since that’s what Rich likes.
- Rich and I realized we won’t be going on any exotic vacation in any foreign land for at least another year.
- If I don’t save the professor soon, I’m going to quit playing Dead Rising on XBox. I’m getting frustrated.
- I’m going to set up an Etsy shop to try and sell some of my photographs.
- I started writing a personal essay tonight. Hopefully, my writing buddies will help me polish it up so it’s submittable.
- I’m making a few extra bucks here and there by selling some of my old clothes at a local consignment store.
- The Break-Up was the single worst “comedy” I’ve seen in years — talk about mismarketed. Even doped up on painkillers after my sinus surgery, I didn’t laugh once.
- I won’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she gets the Democratic nomination even though I’d love to see a woman become president.
- I suck at emailing people back. At this point, I think it’s a hereditary condition.
- I’m still nowhere near being ready to become a parent.
- I used to devour books about supernatural and unexplained phenomena like the Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness monster.
- I also used to devour books about ghost stories and urban legends.
- Thanks to Netflix, I may very well never, ever set foot in a video rental store again.
- Jensen Ackles is giving Wentworth Miller a serious run for his money to claim the top spot on my Fantasy Second Husband© list. I mention this now since more than a week has elapsed since my last Jensen mention, the minimum required Jensen-free period I promised the spouse. (Photo courtesy of JensonRossAcklesUnlimited.)
- I’m currently watching season one of Supernatural on DVD during my nightly workouts.
- My recurring nightmare about a horrific car crash is back, although my insomnia is gone.
- I can’t bring myself to delete my grandmother’s phone number from my cell phone, even though she died over a year ago.
- I’m proud that my youngest cat, Yum Yum, acted in a locally filmed horror movie last year. He was awesome.
- I’m one of the most impatient people in the world, but I have the patience of Job when it comes to home improvement projects.
- I listen to ER repeats on TNT every morning while I work. Listening to the TV helps me tune out outside conversations. The fact that they’re repeats means I don’t have to pay attention; the dialogue becomes white noise.
- Listening to music while I work really distracts me because I end up trying to listen to the lyrics; I end up listening to instrumental music instead.
- The end is in sight for my credit card debt. Huzzah!
- My favorite bands to listen to on my iPod while I clean the house are Queen, Garbage, and Linkin Park.
- I’d love to see smoking banned in all public places throughout Knoxville, a la New York City.
- Seeing celebutards like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears in the news makes me happy I don’t have a daughter for fear she’d admire any of them.
- I hope Brent, my Brother From Another Mother, gets to move home soon.
- I have an older half-brother from whom I’m estranged.
- I’ve kept a plant we bought to stage our house for sale in Virginia alive for 2 1/2 years now.
- My friend, Caren, inspires me to be more creative. She’s the young, go-getter whippersnapper of our group.
- While I absolutely loathe doing cardio and ab work every night, I’m thrilled to finally see results.
- I sometimes get balloons from stores or restaurants for my son, Buster. I just don’t tell the employees he’s a cat (he’s even got his own balloon weight).
- I’ve christened my 10-year-old sofa Frankencouch on account of having to keep sewing fresh rips in the fabric shut.
- I often shout in my sleep and then pretend like it didn’t wake me up in the hopes Rich won’t acknowledge it. Of course, he always does.
- I wish I had the kind of face that makes a really short haircut possible.
- I can’t eat Skittles, Junior Mints, and other small candies in odd numbers. I have to eat them in pairs (hello, OCD).
- I hate having to pay for movies.
- I can’t take Rich’s word that the front and back doors are locked for the night; I have to check for myself.
