Random! Like the numbers in Pi (kind of)

Today I was thinking about a lot of random things.  I decided to post some things about me that are seemingly random, but important to me.


1.  I have a weird obsession with popsicles.  I say weird because I don't eat them just because they are delicious.  Whenever I get upset or sick, I *crave* popsicles.  They're like crack to me.  A box of 24 disappears in a few days, even in the winter.  I'm pretty sure this whole popsicle obsession is because of my mother.  When I was a little kid, every time I got hurt, my mom would give me one to "make me feel better."  I guess it's probably better than craving sweets, which is a rare occasion for me, since there are only 30 calories per popsicle (the Kemps classic kind - my favorite).  The best kinds are Root Beer and Banana!  Grape always gets eaten last, since I HATE the grape ones.  I still eat them, though, I just put it off, haha.  I always eat Cherry and Lime together and the Orange ones are usually singles that I peel off the Grape before I'm forced to eat those.  The last few days, since I've been pretty sick, I begged my ma for popsicles and she brought home a box of classics, Pomegranate Fruit Bars, and Coconut Bars!  I think I ate like 6 today, haha.  ENOUGH ABOUT POPSICLES.  THIS IS LIKE A POPSICLE MONOLOGUE.  HA.  I told you I'm obsessed.  One last thing.  Eating a popsicle and then kissing is BRILLIANT.  Don't ask me why I know this.


2.  If I'm feeling down, brushing my hair always makes me feel better about the world.  I have NO explanation for this at all.  I usually don't brush my hair out, since it's so curly a lot of the time, but when I do, I think, "The earth's gonna be alright."  Yeah, I don't know.


3.  I am SUPER anal about my play count on iTunes and I HATE that it has been reset a few times.  First, after getting my first laptop that was my mom's old one.  After that one died, I had my one for school and then that one died.  NOW I have my laptop (LAPPY!), but when I got my new hard drive, the music count got reset again.  There are certain songs that were up in the THOUSANDS (Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright, Jealous Guy by Gavin DeGraw, and Coffee and Cigarettes by Michelle Featherstone, just to name a few) that now have limited plays.  I love looking at the history of what I've listened to and when that play count is messed up, it hurts!  Another thing about my music - I ALWAYS have shuffle on.  I like to have to know the song by the first note instead of just remembering that it's the next one on the CD.  AND!  I always love getting new music and being exposed to new bands, so please hit me up if you have something that you love!  Or even just enjoy!


4.  Pregnant women are so smoking.  I love babies.  I love children.  I want to have many children and be a housewife.  I've already talked about this, so I'm just going to leave this one where it is.


5.  It really bothers me when people put fake marriages and engagements and relationships on Facebook.  Yes, I know this is a stupid thing to be bothered by, but it's so annoying to me.  I know to some people, it's a funny thing, but to me, it's just a sign of insecurity that they can't put single on their profile.  Just man up.  Plus, it can be confusing at times.  Just don't do it.


6.  I love my godchildren/Dave/Jamie/Maggie with all of my heart.  They are like my true family.  One of the top five moments in my life (Andrew and I had this discussion last summer) was when Dave and I were sitting in his car and we were driving somewhere...  Can't remember where.  Anyways, we were talking about serious stuff and Dave told me that he's always thought of me as his daughter.  I started crying because I was so happy and grateful that I have him and his family in my life.  I know I can tell him and Jamie anything, even if it's sucky or gross or shameful.  They've always been there for me and they always will be.  I love them all so much.


7.  I've touched on this before: I love reality TV.  I don't care how crappy it is.  I think my love for it stems from my need of constant multitasking.  I am always doing more than one thing at once, so if I can put on something that I don't need to fully pay attention to, it works out well for me.  And that's how I fell in love with reality TV.  BRING KID NATION BACK!!!!


8.  I used to hate the radio station called The Current, but now that I have actually given it a chance, I love it.  Thank you, Elizabeth.


9.  I have quite a crazy imagination sometimes.  I have PSYCHO dreams (and I suffer, at times, from sleep paralysis... yes, this is a real thing), but a lot of the time, they just end up being really funny because they're so confusing.


10.  I WILL BRING BACK THE WORD "GNARLY."  IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.  I don't care what anyone says.  It's a great word.  And by great, I mean it's GNARLY.


11.  I love it when I can make people laugh.  I don't care how.  I just love knowing that I brought a little bit of brightness to their day.  I also love laughing!  I laugh alot :)


12.  My favorite number is 11.  HAHAHAHA.


13.  I truly believe that aliens exist.


14.  I am always singing.  I sing at work, I sing in the car, I sing in the shower, I sing while reading, I sing while walking, I sing while talking to people, I sing during blogging (ha... yes.  Right now).  Songs that I can't sing to bother me.


15.  I hate leaving things at "uneven" numbers.


16.  I think I was a fish in other life.  I love swimming SO much.  If I could live in water, I would.  Summer is my favorite season because it is hot and I can go swim ALL THE TIME.  Winter is icky.  And that's that.


17.  I'm usually quite aggressive when it comes to people I like.  It's not that I'm not afraid of being rejected.  I think we can all say, that on some level, we're afraid of that.  But I'd rather just come right out and say how I feel about someone that beat around the bush and have them confused.  Plus, then the ball isn't in my court anymore and I feel less stressed about it, since I know that they know I like them.  Sometimes this gets me into trouble, but nothing I haven't gotten over.  It's just easier to be honest about that sort of thing.


18.  I sleep naked.  It's more comfortable.  And I don't like having my sheets or comforter to be tousled.  It has to be neat.  I can feel the wrinkles and I can't sleep otherwise!


19.  I love math.  Every morning, when I wake up, my alarm is six minutes fast.  I usually set it so I can hit snooze a few times, but I alternate the amount to switch I set it to before I actually need to get up.  The snooze is 9 minutes long.  I think all of that and then figure out how many times I can hit snooze.  Then I go back to sleep, wake up 9 minutes later, and do it all over again.  I know it's ridiculous, but I do not care.  When I have a man, he will wake me up and expect me to rise after he wakes me up at least two more times.  I probably won't remember him waking me up at first.  Yes, this has happened.  I have conversations with people who think I'm awake, but really I don't remember them at all later.  This makes life somewhat confusing at times.


20.  I like rugged men.  I love scruff.  I love ginger beard.  Messy hair and outdooooooors, PAH-LEASE.  None of that pretty boy stuff.  Men should be men.  I'll cook you some dinner after you come home from working all day.  Then I'll push out your babies.  That's how life should be.  RUGGED.  My best friend was born in her house.


Don't ever give up.


THE END.
