you probably didn't know
I just spent the last fifteen minutes drawing graffiti into my fogged-up patio doors.
I eat popsicles in bed - year round - and leave the sticks on the nightstand. I have an emotional attachment to my tweezers. I love cinnamon toast more than is reasonable. I talk too much, iron my sheets, and speak Spanish to my cat. I take beginning Italian classes on Sundays with my mother. We might be too smart for that class.
I sleep a lot when I'm stressed. I stay home Tuesday nights so I can watch The Real Housewives of Orange County. I have two drawers full of underwear. I like love to floss.
I have a counter full of perfume; I wear the same one every single day. On Christmas, I stopped short of accidentally referring to my stepBob as "dad." I distrust women who know too much about sports or carry Louis Vuitton. That shit is too expensive to be that ugly.
I have really nice hands, good cheekbones and bad posture. I am a terrible liar. I had a fling with a college student while I was in Italy. We set of the alarm at Yves St. Laurent in Florence. I hate whistling more than any other sound on the planet. I love to tease.
Your turn.



I'm going to do this right now. Needed something to blog about today anyway.
Thanks!
Did you see the moon last night/this morning? I love the moon.
I loved this! I'm also going to do this tonight when I get home from work. Stop by to see it when you can. Happy to know you're in better spirits!
I just discovered your blog and I love it. Great post on the little things that make us "us." I hear ya on the cinnamon toast and the Louis Vuitton.
I have a constant need to color my hair often (mostly in varying shades of blonde). I can not live w/o my Venus razor. I like the house cold with lots of blankets on the bed. I'd rather be too hot than too cold any day. I love the summertime season the best. I am in my very first long term r'ship & I am 31 yrs old. I am currently trying to conceive a baby. I am the oldest of 3 siblings. I am the oldest of 8 siblings between half, step, & adopted. I am divorced. I love to drink, smoke cigs, dress up, and go out. I am a karaoke junkie. (I was addidcted at my very first attempt). I do not trust easily. I am no longer depressed in my life. My favorite food is crab legs. I prefer baths to showers. I love to swim. One day I would like to swim w/dolphins. My nickname growing up was Missy Prissy b/c (at the time) I refused to leave the house w/o my makeup on & hair done. I was born in Ohau, HI but my parents are not Hawaiian. I have 2 middle names!
Next....
I read blogs at work and pretend that I am researching a client.
I only cook to impress my roommate who is dangeroulsy cute
I love walking in the rain w/ my hair down, or swimming in the rain.
When I kiss guys I really like I sometimes imagine it being our wedding kiss.
I always fall for the guys who I shouldn't have.
I love telling people my name and living up to it
-LOLA
I like the sound of wind blowing, I love to wear only my bra and panties, I have the same bra in 4 different colors, I leave Dove candies on the desks of co-workers that I don't care for, my favorite food is a ripe lemon.
I'll also be adding this to my blog, thanks.
I hate shaving my knees. When I get my eyebrows waxed I cry. I have amazing light blue eyes. I chipped my front tooth when I was little chasing a boy, and I can still remember his name almost 20 years later.
I am more than a little infatuated with my new kitchen stove
my cat is named after a Salinger book
i keep my dining table clean because the neighbor boy is kinda cute and i don't want him to think i am a slob
i still sleep with my blanket every night. i have a CareBear pillow case. i contradict myself daily. i think tyra banks is conceded. i go to movies alone when i'm sad. i like to sit in the rain. i tend to be promiscuous. i don't apologize for it. i like my eyes. i take pictures of myself when i'm bored. i don't always spell correctly. i miss him. sometimes. i drink too much. i lead guys on because i like attention. i am an artist. i dont get along with girls very well. i have been to hells kitchen. i used to think alf-alfa was hot. i want a tiffany engagement ring. i already have it picked out. i snack on celery. i like pink. i don't read often enough. i have a hotel keychain on my keyring. i love gossip. i have a big pink body pillow. i make it sleep on the floor. i say things i shouldn't at inappropriate times. i use 80's songs as my ringtones. i dont write in my diary because i'm afraid to run out of pages. i miss the world. i am bored with indiana. i dance around my house naked when no one is home.
next...
i chew gum when i'm bored even though it hurts my jaw. i have TMJ and clench my teeth every night.
i love cheap red wine and white in the summer time.
i still miss my first love.
i slept with the bartender at my sister's wedding, not because he was cute but because i'd never felt lonelier.
that was the first time i ever admitted to that, to anyone, ever (even me).
i binge on chocolate every time i "start a diet."
i still sometimes think my last boyfriend was my soul-mate.
i use lists like this to prevent "bloggers block" but never post the outcome.
i argued with my boyfriend last night about the idea of converting in order to marry in a church.
i've only been to church 3 times, once for a funeral and once for a wedding.
Ok, I have to ask. Distrusting women who know too much about sports. I fall into this category and found that the sentiment is quite common but can't quite figure it out, do you see it as being insincere or is it something else? Definitely with you on the LV bags though.
I love cold winter days and imagine myself living somewhere where those happen more often.
I sleep with the doll I got for Christmas when I was 7 - she's been with me through surgeries and all sorts of ups and downs, and there's no reasons she should have to hide in a box in my closet.
It scares me a little that my parents have such a good relationship now that I've moved out.
Sometimes all I want to do is cuddle.
Some of my co-workers belong on "The Office," and I wish they would leave and go there.
I wish I actually had the time to sit through an entire marathon of America's Next Top Model.
I'm tired of explaining to people why I want to move out of state.
I love this post!
I hate the taste of beets more than anything in the entire world, I can't go to sleep at night unless I read something first, I'm secretly the most insecure person I know, my eye's are my best feature, I smile at everyone I see (even if they don't smile back), being a mom is my greatest life's work, I miss my Nana every day, and sometimes I cry for no reason.
I am waiting to break up with my boyfriend in March cuz it's after Valentine's Day; I am too smart and talented for my job but am too lazy to find a new one; several months ago I chose my best friend over my boyfriend...now that I'm dumping him (because she was right)I'm too embarassed to ask her back.
I could eat cereal and only cereal for the rest of my life. I fall in love to easily. I hate the words moist and fresh. Guys with rosie cheeks totally do it for me. People think I look like someone famous. I'm embarassingly addicted to Hollywood. I can't pass fuzzy blankets at a store without having to pet. My dog is and always will be the number one man in my life. I think giving roses is really cliche. British accents are the bomb. I love reading memoirs. People who shuffle their feet when they walk should be sent to an island all their own. I'm afraid I'll never have a baby.
Hi. Have we met? I used to be your neighbor. You may remember me carrying on and on about lineups and pitching rotations. Also, you may recall my extensive snazzy bag (Louis Vuitton incl.!!) collection. I am now putting Bama on a Dallas bound plane with your picture pinned to her collar. She is going to bring me YOUR collar.
Distrust my arse.
I love working with teenagers cause they make me laugh.
I still play field hockey at the age of 39.
I love the sensation of getting my eyebrows threaded.
I love to have the t.v. on while reading - background noise helps me concentrate.
I hate people who don't use their blinkers/indicators.
I have the great eyes, muscular legs even if I don't work out and once you get to know me, a crackin' sense of sarcastic humour.
I love living in London even though I'm from NEPA!
I dislike foods based soley on their texture. I don't think it's possible for me to be just friends with a guy. I really wouldn't mind if my best friend and I ended up single old women together with crazy hats and drinking tendencies.
I have a hard time relating to other women because I only work with (older) men.
I can't sleep past 8am no matter how late I go to bed.
I no longer want to go out every Friday and Saturday night, which makes me feel old.
I'm tired of wedding planning and "the knot" and centerpieces, I just want to marry the kid already!
Sometimes I just want to move back to the country and escape the traffic and the people and the superficial-ness of it all...
(excellent post by the way!)
I love sitting in front of a fire.
I hate when my feet get cold.
I love my family more than anything.
I hate having to tell people no, but I do.
I love to cook new things.
I hate to fold socks.
I love a cold rainy night.
I hate insincerity.
I love this post.
I hate that I have to go...
I've been listening to the song from the MacBook Air commercial on repeat for the past 3 days.
I secretly wish I'll get the stomach bug that's going around so I don't have to go to work.
I fall all the time. I've ripped three pairs of jeans and broken two pairs of shoes in the last year.
I have more sparkly scarves than will ever be necessary.
I'm falling in love with my new-ish boyfriend, but won't tell anyone- not even him.
I love red nail polish, high heels, and makeup and am still mostly a tomboy.
Don't be too quick to write off women who carry LV! One of my prized posessions is a lipstick red LV clutch that was a gift. While I would never shell out the $3G to purchase one, I love carrying it! That bag and a pair of red heels makes any outfit fabulous.
I have a pathological fear of sharks and creepy men; I love bubble baths and pedicures; I wear pretty underwear every day but rarely put make-up on; neck kisses take my breath away; my favorite ice cream is butter pecan; I love flannel pajamas, chinese take-out, and netflix; I get desperately lonely when my kids go to visit with their dad; I love to watch football but admit that I still don't understand the rules; I love to smoke and don't want to quit so leave me alone about it already; I'm still waiting for one man to prove to me that they aren't all the same... I could do this for quite a while but I'll stop now.
I want to be married more than anything else in the world but I am too scared to date; I still love Rick Springfield; my dog means more to me than just about anything in the world; I can only cry in front of my therapist; I used to live in NYC and will forever feel like a failure because I left; I prefer making out to sex; I think women are--by far--the superior sex; I dream of writing a novel that will finally make the world see what a sensitive and insightful person I am but I can't even make myself write a sentence.
I have a stepBob too! (well, they aren't actually married), but I hadn't thought about calling it that. That's a good term. I usually just refer to them collectively as "my parents" because it's easier. Or just "Mom and Bob."
My biggest fear is not being needed, yet I complain when people need me too much. I crave attention.
I am one of those girls who know alot about sports.
I'm scared that I'm not good enough for the guys I think are great, and that the guys that want me aren't good enought for me.
I'm in the process of learning to be more independant.
I've never done my own laundry.
I'm really organized. I file all my bills and color code my closet.
And....
I might be pregnant....
I usually read magazines backwards (last article to first)... I'm a terrible cook (I even burn frozen vegetables) but an amazing baker & dessert maker... My favourite colour is red but there's none of it in my apartment (except my clothes)... my cat is named after a Disney character and she lives up to it in personality & cuteness... I can't stop giving people the benefit of the doubt, to a fault that is painful ('maybe he didn't call because...'). I drink too much... I love my eyelashes and am accused of them being false (they're real!)... I rarely eat any kind of meat/chicken/fish, but love my leather bag and my fur boots...
When I'm stressed, lonely, or sad (or all 3), I make it worse by staying home alone, not getting dressed, and avoiding all my responsibilities... I listen to classical --> indie --> top 40 (everything in between), and enjoy it all equally (on different days)... I still wonder if I should have broken up with my last boyfriend, or if I'll ever find anyone else. I'M TOO WORDY!
i would be a writer if i wasn't so afraid of what others would think. i've never done drugs because i'm certain i'd become an adict. i have nightmares. i am distrustful of really religious people. rebuplicans scare me. i don't really like sex. i broke my own heart.
I hate hypocrites.
I am a gutless coward, who preaches to others to stand up for themselves, which makes me a huge hypocrite.
I love to write, the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper. BLACK INK ONLY.
I love going back to bed right after I eat a huge breakfast.
I was born and raised in the south, but I hate tomatoes. The only thing I hate worse than tomatoes is sweet tea (and green olives).
I love to shop for other people's babies.
I have a secret stash of cheesy CD's that I don't keep in my car for fear of being ridiculed.
Buttercups are my most favorite flowers EVER.
I have piano hands, but didn't learn to play enough
I wish I had taken ballet
Beautiful singing voices give me goose bumps
My favorite foods are tuna, beets & peaches, not together
I still love cartoons
I have fish decals on my windows
I never had braces, but my teeth are straight
I distrust everyone when I first meet them
I'm terrible at remembering names
I really like lists
I hate being on the phone
I love "British" humor
I can quote Monty Python
I would have liked to be a surfer
The ocean is beautiful in the winter
I prefer museums to beaches
I want someone to invent the Time Winnebago, so we can time-vaction with running water.
I'm a lover & a dreamer, a grinner & a sinner, a smoker, a midnight toker
I love this post too!!
Now I would like to hear from the men lurkers as well as the women...
this is GREAT stuff!! :-)
I get really chatty at night after the lights are turned off.
I love brussel sprouts and think vanilla ice cream is a topping, not to be eaten on its own.
I get the hiccups more than the average person
I despise people that are rude, I sleep with tons of blankets on my bed, I think big ears are cute, I still lie to my parents, I wish my ex would call me and profess his undying love for me, I dislike people that drive too slow in the left hand lane, snobbery turns me off, I love men with long hair, I wish I was better looking
Oohh, I love this! I did a post like this last week. Go to my blog and read "100" Probably more than you wanted to know.....
I'm trying to figure out how to "hide" the list so it doesn't take up so much damn room.... oh well.
I like to play roulette. I leave my wedding ring on for all activities except golf and basketball. I covet a set of sushi knifes and the skill to use them. I miss having time to cook. I can't wear socks to bed. In college, I was in a club where if you are caught drinking with your writting hand, you must slam whatever you were drinking. I hate it when people wear jeans and black shoes. I should have stuck with the piano lessons.
I read blogs while im at work so I can assure myself there are other intelligent people out there. I think most people in the world just dont get it. I get my feelings hurt all the time, but I tell people things dont get to me. If im upset, everyone can tell. I try my hardest to please everyone cause I dont want to lose them. I have lost myself and cant seem to find where ever I left off. Im emotionally unavailable to everyone but this one guy that doesnt even care. I sleep with my cell phone just so in the middle of the night I dont miss anything. I hate being runner up in pageants, but I always am. Writing is how my brain purges. Im skinny but eating is my comfort. Im so insecure and have no selfesteme but you would never know by my personality. I had an abortion when I was 17 and cant forgive the person I love for walking out on me when I needed him most. Im the popular girl, no one sees these things or has a clue. I try to front like im strong, and it works but I go to bed at night hurt and feeling forgotten.
I can't start my work day without reading Dilbert. Peanut M & Ms is the food of the Gods. I own 10 pairs of heels and still wear flats daily. Think the Beatles are overrated. I listen to my ipod at work so I can ignore my obnoxious co-workers. I want to have dinner with Christopher Walken and Stephen Colbert. I'm a closet Jackass fan. Red is the only color nail polish should come in. I can't help but watch all the "I love the 80s" marathons. Love my boobs, hate my butt. I love when my husband calls me "babe". Would rather run 100 miles than go out with no makeup. Wish there were do-overs in real life.
I hate that my husband eats popsicle sticks in bed and leaves them on the night stand. Ususally in some sticky star shape a top a water glass that has been left for days on end and would probably become a permanent fixture if it were not for me the clutter clear-er.
"emily," I have been exactly where you are. And after two long years, I sucked up my pride and nerves and got my best friend back. Don't waste any time.
Fish, thanks for the post idea- I'll try to make my own list later tonight. I already have a "100 things about me" page, so it should be fun trying to come up with new randomness to offer.
I think I'm good at reading people. I hate girls who have to be the center of attention. Sometimes when I do stupid stuff I yell at myself out loud in the car. I hate that I have a bump on the bridge of my nose. My last relationship has left me completely insecure and unsure about myself. My girl friends are sometimes very selfish. I have terrible nails and cuticles because I bite them. I am the most miserable person in the mornings. I love wine. And most unhealthy foods. I sometimes picture slamming my coworkers heads into their keyboards. Or my own. I just redid my room and I hate it. I fell for some band guy who dicked me over and I still think about him daily. I once had to stop talking to a guy I liked because I got drunk and told him I speak Spanish. I do not speak Spanish. Sometimes I think I miss out on things out of fear.
I love shoes.
I cry at movies.
Sometimes I think my dog is so cute I can't even stand it.
I still love my ex no matter how much I hate him...No one in my office does any work and I think I'm more qualified to do their jobs than they are, even if they are twice my age...No matter how lonely I am, I prefer being alone to being with people...I'm jealous of my fat friend because she doesn't give a damn and I do...I'm an incredibly good liar and no one knows because I'm the "nice" one...I'm a sex/relationship writer, but I've only had sex once and have never been in a real relationship...If it were possible I'd give up my dreams of a career and take any job that would let me see the world, whether I liked it or not...My biggest fear is having to move in with my parents again...I still dream about marrying my first crush, twenty years later...I distrust all girls, whether they know about sports or not...I forget that I'm fat sometimes...
i like pickle juice. i brush my teeth in the shower. i have pretended to have an accent different than my own at airport bars. i HAVE sat through an entire marathon of ANTM. :) i'll stop there...
YAY!
I'm obsessed with reading other people's dating blogs because it makes me feel less alone.
I always wait until the last possible moment to go pee, for no reason at all.
I have terrible wanderlust and most days dream of quitting my life and getting on a plane.
I was also emotionally attached to my tweezers until I had my eyebrows done permanently. It's still disarming to me when I realize I don't know where they are.
It makes me feel weird when people compliment me on my looks because I think they aren't seeing everything else that's great about me.
I haven't kissed a boy since July. It's starting to make me feel crazy and cold.
It genuinely makes me happy to be at the gym.
I have an addictive personality which is why I don't drink. I can eat an entire box of fruit roll-ups in one sitting. I stayed in the same city after college b/c I stupidly thought I was still in love/attached to my best friend/ex-bf. I keep dating the same guys.
Just when I thought that I had nothing to blog about...
(Also, am glad you're feeling better. Break-ups are the worst, I find it helps if you remember that there is ALWAYS something to smile at during the day...even if you don't actually smile because of it)
I have an addictive personality which is why I don't drink. And a slight fear of losing control. Food and men are my vices. I can eat an entire box of fruit roll-ups in a sitting. I'm envious of girls with flat abs. I've been miserable in a city because I stupidly thought I was in love/still attached to my best friend/ex-bf.
i work more than i want to. two of my best friends are 11 years older and 11 years younger than i. i love commas. i have a secret obsession with panties. and picture frames. i sleep surrounded by pillows because i like the feeling of being snuggled. my favorite colors are not single colors, but combinations of colors. i quote the movie my big fat greek wedding more than would be considered funny to most people. i shamelessly listen to the same song over and over again. i always have room for ice cream. swaddling babies brings me great joy. i love inside jokes. and people who think i'm funny. i'm too shy. i procrastinate too much. i'm afraid to be seen as ungrateful or unappreciative. i love pedicures. i hate manicures. i have the most amazing eyes. i can't decide if i like laying on my couch or my bed more. i spend too much time waiting by the phone. i love text messages. i like to complain. i think flirting is fun. i started drinking coffee because of peer pressure. i'm now addicted. i love to pluck my eyebrows.
I love VIVA brand paper towels more than anything. I will go to multiple stores to find them before buying anything else⦠I know that my male best friend lies to me about practically everything and I let him⦠I make book covers out of wrapping paper for all of my books on my shelves. It not only makes it prettier and also hides the fact that most of them are self-help or books about entertaining/throwing parties and not very intellectualâ¦I drink too much⦠I know that he is just passing time when he is with me, despite the fact that I am prettier than his past girlfriendsâ¦I like to drink milk with pizza and spaghettiâ¦I see my thoughts like a movie reel and I hear songs in my head like soundtracksâ¦My friend teases that it must be exhausting to have my mind constantly whirling with very random thoughts, I laugh along â but in reality, it isâ¦. I have never actually been âinâ love, although I have felt genuine affection. I donât think I ever will either...I drive dangerously slow when a song I love is on the radio.
I, too, am oddly attached to my tweezers. I can feel rage starting whenever I look in the bathroom cupboard and they are missing from their spot because my husband has used them and carelessly tossed them somewhere else. I have started hiding them and leaving the inferior pair out for him to use. Yes, I'm a tiny bit unbalanced, but I prefer the term "quirky."
If possible, I would eat sesame seed bagels for every meal. I have an odd obsession with watching reruns of Gilmore Girls. I wish I was vegan but love cheese sandwiches too much and hate non-dairy cheese. I recently graduated college and work at a job I hate that has ruined my life in five months. When I bring my favorite wine to a party, I drink as much of the bottle as possible so I don't leave any behind. I chew on my tongue. I secretly wish my best friend would move in with her bf in new york b/c she has become a crappy friend and I'd rather her leave.
As soon as I save enough money, I want to leave and start my life all new b/c I hate everything about it now. (Thats the first time I ever admitted that to myself). I feel much better now.
Thanks!
I turned my cute roomie into my life partner with my cooking among other things (That's for you Lola!) I talk to my dogs in Italian. I imagine fighting for my life with a cougar when I am out riding my bike in the woods. (I win and USFS won't let me keep the evidence.) I dream about winning the lottery and all the good I could do for those I love and causes I care about... it gives me an andrenaline rush. I am an internet voyeur of past friends I no longer talk to. I love teaching and am suffering through years of grad school poverty so I can teach at the level I enjoy. (I was literally giddy about my powerpoint for vertebrate zoology today.) I like gerber baby chicken sticks. I am extremely competetive and avoid situations where this urge would be hurtful to people I care about. I really love my kooky family. I get scared when I think about how fast life moves. I can't watch scary movies because I have 100% willing suspension of disbelief. I am truely happy and wish I could pass it along.
I could eggs and fried food every day all day. I love dark chocolate (especially if it's Godiva). I will be cold to new girls in the group until they go out of their way to be nice to me. I only do this to women. I used to hate my legs due to MANY exes and have recently learned to love them and dresses. I will deny boys I've slept with (to their faces). I will tell lies to help people that I like and hurt the ones I don't. I can't lie about anything in regards to me if directly asked about it. I read at least 4 books at the same time - call it ADD in written form. I love my hair more than anyone else's I've ever seen. I keep boys hanging after break-ups in case I need them for comfort in the future. I've only really loved 4 men but have told more that I did. Even when I have bad times, I think I'm more fortunate than most.
I google ex-boyfriends.
I refuse to swim in lakes.
I love to feel my bunny's nose twitching against my lip when I give him a kiss.
I really dislike pancakes because of how they make my hair and clothes smell.
I get excited about pickled asparagus.
I never go anywhere without sunglasses and chapstick.
I've been trying to learn Italian for over a year, but can't seem to get past mixing up the nouns with the Spanish versions.
My favorite color is pink, but if you ask I'll say it's blue.
The nagging voice in the back of my head tells me that my boyfriend of 4 years is not the one, but I hate being alone too much to leave him.
Every morning I tell myself I'm going to drink enough water, and every day I don't.
My main sorce of vegetables is V8.
The Girls Next Door is my favorite guilty pleasure.
I've already posted once but felt like doing it again...
I've sent in 437 postcards to postsecret, not all personal secrets that I have, some just thoughts that I'm thinking about people or things I come in contact with.
I love pedicures but hate my fingers being messed with.
I'm cocky but yet have a huge heart.
I check several times a day to see if this site has been updated!
I still have the stuffed animal I got when I had to go to the hospital at around age 4.
I fall asleep on my couch at least once a week. In the winter, I'm usually wearing my down coat when this happens. If I wake up and realize I'm on the couch before morning, I will stay there if my dog is curled up behind my knees so I don't disturb him.
I once successfully avoided a panhandler by repeating (in Spanish), "No hablo ingles."
I have four bottles of perfume on my dresser, all of which are at least 5 years old.
I love a clean house, including a bright shiny clean bathroom, more than almost anything in the world, but I hate to clean bathrooms. My ideal man would clean the bathrooms for me.
I would rather work all night and sleep all day than the other way around.
I go to sleep with socks on because I like to throw them off in the middle of the night.
My bf and I went engagement ring shopping and now I feel like my ring finger is naked -- even though I've never worn a ring on it before (and haven't gotten the ring yet).
I'm too trusting and tell people too darn much.
My mom hurts my feelings all the time but I pretend that she doesn't.
It really annoys me when people comment on blogs, only to plug their own blog.
I love my younger sisters and brother so much and especially love that they think I'm the coolest sister ever.
I'm obsessed with my dog and my bf and I treat him like our furry son.
I feel cool when I drive my car (mini cooper convertible) and like the attention.
i love my job. for real. i wish my friends were my family. i wish i was friends with my family. i am in love with him and hate that i finally realized it at maybe the worst time ever. i don't miss the cats i sent to live with my parents. sometimes i wish they had the dog too. i go into lockdown mode during winter. i love men with british accents. i put on my pajamas as soon as i step in the door. i watch too much tv. i tape pictures of kate winslet on my fridge to remind myself that even to be considered a "healthy" weight, i still shouldn't eat. i regret not following my dreams. i love roads that have trees on both sides. i shave my legs once a week in the winter...if that often.
I read two blogs every day. I can never figure out what my hair wants. When I go away I always bring my pillow. I'm in love with winter, and I ski better than most guys. I hate whining men, oregano and the feeling you get after spending too much time indoors. I was once so pissed of at all males alive, that I made it a project to date a new one every month for half a year and not care a thing about any of them. I of course ended up with the best man ever. Outdoor swimming in the morning - during summer - is one of the best inventions ever. I sometimes do life-saving things at work - literally. I constantly have to fight an inbuilt laziness. I tend to recharge better on my own than in a crowd, even though I love people. I'm moving to Iceland next fall. And you, Fish, are the best person I feel like I know, but really don't, ever.
I am obsessed with reading newspapers online. I do yoga just for the relaxation period at the end so I am quiet my mind. I frequently make lists late at night at that moment before I fall asleep and then promptly forget them. I love getting my eyebrows waxed. Manicures should never be french and pedicures should always be red (the redder the better). I wish I was skinny but can't seem to actually diet. I always judge people. I love to go to movies alone. I'd rather spend a day alone than in a crowd, but I only say that because all of my friends don't live anywhere near me anymore. I am scared I'll never make amazing friends again. I pick my cuticles. Laughing is the best past time. I love Jane Austen and the belief in loving the best in a person despite the odds.
I love bright colors, but typically wear just black because it is safer.
I am constantly in fear of wrecks and have nightmares with the sounds of cars being smashed. It is the worst sound ever to me.
I am obsessive about blogs and check my list of them several times a day to see if they have been updated.
I love going on trips that require a flight because I love to watch everyone and try to figure out where they are going. And then watching people meet up with their loved ones at the end!
Except for maybe train whistles.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and neither have said "I love you"....just "I adore you" and " I love being with you".
I am the youngest crazy cat lady ever to exist.
My hands sweat to the point I dread shaking hands with people.
Ooooh, I love this.
I too have an emotional attachment to my tweezers. But I also have one to my office supplies at work, specifically my calculator. I call my Mom's husband, 'my Mom's husband' and people think it's weird I don't call him my stepdad... I bite the inside of my cheek when I fall asleep so I don't sleep with my mouth wide open.
I have more, but I also have to work. Dang it.
I am a girl and have a boyfriend. But I have wondered my whole life about girls..
i'm convinced i'll be alone forever.
i'm a biblical literature major, but i don't read the bible very much.

i haven't worn a dress since i was five.
sometimes i feel invisible.
I love the sensation of goosebumps spreading over my scalp.
I have an intense fear of my arms being strapped down away from my body, so much so that I have nightmares on occasion. Maybe I was tickle tortured too much as a child.
Music & books can carry me so far away from reality. Other times they bring me back.
I love my job! Knowing that certain customers will only come to me because I took the time one day to really pay attention.
I pop & butter my own popcorn, it's better that way.
I finally found a friend that I could truly share anything with, then I married his best friend.
I enjoy this blog & all the emotions & memories it sparks.
My husband & I have been trying 2 get pregnant for the past 7 months. Nothing. I fight the dissapointment every month, but a little piece is left behind each time. Those pieces are beginning to turn into a sadness.
I love my husband of 2 years, that's why I married him, but there is still an aching hole from my very first love that I'm afraid will never close.
I hate group dining.
I will always question someone's motives for telling me that they don't watch TV.
I'm ok being single, but incredibly lonely at the same time. My dog is more important to me than some of my friends. My right leg shakes like crazy when I'm high; I didn't smoke pot for the first time until I was 29. My brother died of AIDS 3 years ago. I love to be the center of attentiono and would wear a tiara out whenever possible if it was allowed. I'm terrified of my mom passing away because I don't know if I can take care of myself yet. Whistling is the most annoying habit along with gum snapping. I believe I'm destined to marry a celebrity, but never go anywhere that I might meet one.

i love to cook and bake but hate all forms of cleaning and can't sew anything.
i am hopelessly addicted to coffee.
I love surfing the web.

I like writing my own (www.cin-cincity.blogspot.com)-okay I'm advertising it too. How did you get so many people interested? It's amazing.
I love filet mignon, large dogs and bear hugs. I HATE being around people that whistle.
I keep checking my exes MySpace page to try to get a glimpse of what he is up to these days... no matter how much my heart hurts when see his picture.
I send a ridiculous amount of text messages.
I wear my Tiffany's jewelry when I play softball.
I absolutely adore my friends... especially the ones that stuck with me through this past year.
I love living in a city but miss where I grew up in Ohio dearly.
I love to cuddle.
I think a hot, steamy makeout session can sometimes be better than sex.
I am turning 25 this year and am convinced that this year is going to be amazing.
Next...

I read a lot of blogs.I love watchin romantic movies.
I tell prople I'm career oriented but I want to get married and have babies soon.
Has anyone noticed how many people have said here that they miss/love their ex? I have always wondered bout this. Maybe sometimes its too difficult to live with a person, yet impossible to truely get over them.
I think my upper lip is too tiny. I still feel like the uncool kid in my office of seven people, all of whom are colossal dorks. I really want to start my own business, but I'm not sure what it would be. I own a stupid number of hooded sweatshirts. I'm freaked out by the fact that my cats will probably still be alive when I'm 40. I hate that my boyfriend knows that I'm book-smarter than he is. I am a great cook, but I cannot make pancakes. I don't like socks. I am horribly afraid that I will never stop feeling nauseated and furious at my ex-boyfriend. I'm an all-organic, gourmet foodie, but I love crappy boxed mac and cheese. I speak fluent German, but I don't ever let anyone know that. Even though I trust my boyfriend implicitly, even though he gives me no reason not to trust him, I keep waiting for him to stop showing up.
I love strawberry milkshakes but hate the real thing. I make huge decisions like moving across the country in the blink of an eye, but I am paralyzed by choosing what to order for dinner. I wish children would be 2 years old for a few days and then skip right to their 20s. I wonder if I'll be a mother and if I want to be. I am truly in love for the first time in my life and it is exciting and scary. I love to eat and drink while laying on the couch and I leave the dirty dishes there until morning. It takes an act of God for me to change my sheets. I love reading blogs. I only feel sexy without my glasses on.
I sometimes go to a bar alone on a random weeknight for a drink.
I still talk to my ex-finace my parents hate and don't want me with because I love him but I'm scared to stand up to my parents and just be with him.

I am afraid that after my weight loss surgery I won't be sexy anymore.
I slept with a man who works for my company against company policy cause I know they can't fire me-I'm too good.
That is the first time that I have admitted that.
I miss my best friend. She let me borrow money and I didn't pay her back. Then when I had the money to pay her back I was too embarrassed to do it. Now I'm without a friend and have a withering envelope filled with a measley 150 dollars in my bible for the day I get the nerve to send it to her.
I am hopelessly in love with being in love.
I adore my niece and nephew.
I am afraid I will never have children of my own, so I spoil them rotten.
I am a social worker and I hate telling people that because they think I'm the "baby snatcher."
I love taking a baby away from a drug addicted mother and abusive father. I view that as the "Lord's work." Especially when I know the parents are dirtbags.
I love this blog.
I became one of those girls who knows too much about sports to impress my boyfriend.
I obsessively check my phone to see if he's called back or texted, even though we've been together over a year.
I guess that's what you call a fear of abandonment. Call me cynical.

I have an STD.
I sometimes think my girlfriends are really selfish, too.
I have also picked out my Tiffany engagement ring.
I recently realized I may not want kids.
Talk of oil dependence and the downfall of life as we know it really, REALLY scares me.
I play online poker during my $1000/unit class.
I am terrified I won't be a good therapist, or that I'll burn out after five years and I'll still have tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
I'm inspired by excellent writers and bloggers, and want to write a book, but fear I don't have anything to write that anyone would want to read.
I AM over my exes, but it took a really long, painful time.
Loved this..
I clean my house in two and a half minute intervals, I only clean during commercials.
I never wear a bra unless completely socially required to wear one. I have taken it off in the car in my office parking lot just so I donât have to wear it on the drive home.
I grow my hair out to donate, but I really do it as an excuse for having long hair at the ripe old age of 41.
Even if I know something inside and out, I will act stupid if I am uncomfortable. I am pretty much never comfortable.
The rescued animals I have taken in sometimes (often) get on my damn nerves.
If I forget to blow my nose before going to bed I have to get back up and do it.
I cry when I read those silly emails everyone forwards, but do not (can not) cry about things in real life.
I try to act like the work-a-holic that would continue working even if I won the lottery, but yeahâ¦. No way.
I have been trying for a half an hour to think of something funny to post here, but canât and still be honest.
I suck.
I have a crush on a boy at work who is 11 years younger than me. I'll never get over my one true love. A guy who decided that being with the older woman with money fit him better than I did.
I don't feel like I need to forgive him.
I would take him back if he called me. right. now. I love pie. More than anything. Except said boy. I am one of those girls that knows way too much about sports. But I don't care. I LOVE sports. I have never dated a guy that liked sports. It really kinda pisses me off.
the sound of a public toilet flushing scares the hell out of me.
i brush my skin before every bath.
i've never voted and feel deeply ashamed for it.
even though i believe in astrology...i married a man who is the complete opposite of who i'm compatible with.
even if i don't have to pee before bed...i'll sit on the toilet until i do so i won't have to get up in the middle of the night.
i travel for work longer than necessary in order to have time for myself (like right now.)
i have a great ass in jeans...but it looks terrible in a swimsuit.
i still miss various traits of my exes and sometimes fantasize about randomly running into them.
one of my greatest fears is that my husband will cheat on me some day.
i prefer $40 jersey sheets to $500 egyptian cotton sheets.
i wish every sunday was a day of football and beer.
the word "fingered" gives me the heebie jeebies.
i want to give britney a hug.
i believe heather hunter is the wittiest, funniest chick i've ever met.
I like my cats too much and talk to them like they're real people.
I've just started a new job and I'm afraid that I'll hate it.
I wish I could be attracted to my best friend because we get along so well and it would be easier than dating guys.
I just met a guy that I really like but I'm scared to call him (because I'm afraid of rejection).
I went to a very good college but love reality tv and chick lit.
I hate celery.
I was captain of my track team, but sometimes I hate running.
I just finally fell out of love with my ex and it's left a void of emotion in my head.
I'm terrified of being broke but cannot manage to save my money.
I'm scared I won't be good at my career and I'll disappoint everyone who helped me to get here.
I already blogged tonight, but I'm definitely doing this tomorrow. Thanks Sugar Britches!
My, you've started a THING here, haven't you?
I'm doing this on Friday. If wanna know what you don't know, come visit.

I read the People magazine religiously every Friday as I soak in a bubble bath.
I read Amityville Horror and didn't sleep a wink for two days.

Last year I had a cancer, this year I hope it doesn't come back.
I would love to go to Europe but can't stand the thought of being on an airplane for that many hours.
I don't think I can teach elementary school anymore.
I spend an unreasonable amount of time reading blogs.
It took me a really long time to come up with the name "Dateable Dork."
Sometimes I think I'm too dorky to actually be dateable.
Love your blog. : )
He wasn't handsome, but I was madly attracted to him. Though I have a handful of girlfriends, only three of them I really care for. I assess every single guy as my next boyfriend. I think of their last name as mine. I walk into a bar the most confident woman there. I own 27 pairs of stillettos. And wear them every day. I impulsively bought a second car before selling my first. And now I'm stuck with two. I love to date. I love to tell stories. I love to be the center of attention. I wish I didn't care he is with someone else. I love being a redhead. I could go without sex, but never without oral. I am addicted to lip gloss, blistex and dresses. I dream everyday about my career future. I dream everyday about being a gorgeous, rich housewife. I'm afraid I'll fall for a blue collar rather than a fancy white collar. I don't want kids. A year later and I still think he's my soulmate.
-I don't like socks, I only own two pair that match. The rest of the time they're mismatched and I don't care.
-Considering I'm crazy about fashion and my wardrobe the above statement makes no sense.
-I'm secretly worried that I may never find a life partner although I tell everyone that I don't want one.
-I dream everyday of living in NY in a cool loft and having a different lover to match all of my shoes. See above statement --- ???
-I love being a redhead but I wish I could tan.
-I'm worried about what I look like when I'm old.
-I love my boobs
-I'm obsessed with organizing but I can't seem to get organized
-I'm an efficiency nazi
-I love getting pedicures but I hate anyone else touching my feet
-I hate cleaning out the refrigerator
-I'm always, always perpetually broke
i hate my engagement ring but love my husband
my feet are always cold
i don't ever wear makeup but i refuse to throw it away (and i have a lot) and i read all sorts of makeup blogs
i love organizing and binder clips are my favorite part
even though most of the time i try to eat organic and "whole" foods, i could probably eat kraft mac and cheese every day for a month before i got tired of it - then i would just need a short break before i could do it again
if i was single, i'm almost certain i would be a crazy cat woman
i love expensive designer lamps
i'm really clumsy and break cameras and phones and computers very quickly
i'm good at kickball and love to play
i've had the same new year's resolution for about 23 years - stop biting my nails
I like ice cubes in my milk.
I like celebrity tabloits.
Three years after I was married we found out that it wasn't legal and we had to get married again and no one in my family knows it! I constantly put on chapstick. I miss my Grandma every day. I love it when it rains really hard. After 17 years I don't hear my husbands spanish accent anymore. I seriously want to move to St. Croix. Can't stand the snotty mom's at school. EVen though I'm married I want other men to think I'm attractive. I would love to be on the Amazing Race. I always paint my toenails, but never my fingernails. I want to go to Disneyland!
I like to wear footie pajamas.
I own one pair of jeans.
I can't save money to save my life!
I know the names of my unborn children. I also know the name of my future dog.
I never learned how to ride a bicycle.
I am a pack rat.
I'm obsessed with nice stationery.
I am an anglophile.
I read the LA Times and NY Times everyday.
I am a moisturizing freak. I can't go to bed without it.
I sleep on my back, and sometimes, I don't move at all through the entire night.
My intuition hardly ever fails.
I can't handle being angry. I'm like Giselle in "Enchanted."
Most of my friends have married and it's freaking me out.
People have trouble making out my ethnicity. My friends say I'm raceless.
And I've saved the best for last:
I have never been kissed.
â¢I take a bubble bath while listening to the hip-hop station on the radio almost every night
â¢I love colored pens, the brighter the ink the better, especially pinks and purples
â¢Often when I see people dance (ballet, modern) I cry because I wanted to be a dancer and it touches something deep inside of me I donât really understand
â¢I love my family very deeply but donât want to move back to my hometown because I need my own life too
â¢I wore braces for 3 years but my teeth arenât straight
â¢I sneeze a lot
â¢An Indian man broke my heart but I still think they are the most beautiful men on earth
â¢I donât mess with my hair much and donât understand people who obsess over their hair, Iâm not sure what it is Iâm supposed to be doing with it/to it anyway
â¢After I teach a class, especially one that went well, I get a buzz, a total high from it
⢠I lie about my sex life and keep most of the details from my friends
â¢Iâm always planning a trip abroad in my head, and sometimes even looking at tickets
i almost always have cold feet and can't sleep until i put socks on to warm them up. i am addicted to chilli kettle chips (the one's here in australia). i could watch seinfeld episodes or food network all day. i love to cook for other people. i love trying new foods from different cultures. i really enjoy running, it relieves my stress, but i need to work at running longer and faster. at 30ish i am finally coming to terms with my pear shaped body and gradually learning to be friends with it. i've never been into designer things, i value quality goods, but not that much. i miss my friends who are married and having babies, i feel a bit left behind. i dislike noisy eaters and people who chew with open mouths. i'm loving learning to crochet and am finally getting around to learning how to play the piano. some of my dreams still haven't come true. some have. i never ever want to stop hoping.
I should use my tweezers on my eyebrows but I use it to pluck out the gray hairs so that people won't know my real age. I love when they say "you look too young to have a 12 year old kid". I think chocolate should only be an accessory in a dessert and not the main ingredient. I hate to be wet and only bathe because of society norms. I have the most beautiful hair you've ever seen. I haven't mopped a floor in over 10 years (my husband or the housekeeper does it), I love porn and strip clubs and wish I had the nerve to go on stage. I even took pole dancing classes. I am a workahol
