Everything in this town…

SO. It’s only 11:00 am and I’m already bored. Two more hours till my lunch break. I think I’m going to buy a smaller hoop for my nose during that time. The drive to Kingston last night wasn’t too bad, though it did take more than 2 hours on the way there. It was a fun drive though, rocked out to Tigers Jaw and The Movielife with Kate and saw some beautiful mountain landscapes during the sunset. Once we got there we met up with Sean, Eric, Drew and Abby. Noone seemed too thrilled to see us and that’s one thing that really bothers me about going to shows; everyone seems to have this air of arrogence around them and it’s annoying, especially when you know that they’re not normally like that. Got some decent chinese food and then headed back to the venue and hung out with everyone. The only band we actually watched was Cold World and it was pretty good. Overall it was fun and I’m glad I went. I was reading through some other people’s blogs and I think I’m going to do that “25 random facts about me” deal. I missed the boat when that was popular via facebook. So here it is… 1. I can be VERY shy, which some people find hard to believe. If I feel intimidated by someone I won’t say a word, but if I feel comfortable around someone I think I’m pretty personable. 2. Someone pointed out to me last night that I ask a lot of questions, which is true. I only do it if I’m genuinely curious about someone and I want to know more about them. I would much rather have a legit conversation where it goes back and forth, but if someone that I want to get to know isn’t offering anything to talk about I tend to interigate them, woops. 3. Left handed. The only thing I do right handed is baton twirling. Don’t ask. 4. I love reading. I wish I had more time to do it. I usually hate “tween” novels but I’m really into the Twilight series. Other than that my favorites books are Catch 22, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Slaughter House Five, and my all time favorite, 1984. 5. 25% mexican, 25% irish, and the rest is a mix of Norweigan and who knows what else. I think I got all the Irish traits, which is cool with me, although I do wish I had naturally dark hair. 6. When I was blonde a lot of random people would tell me I looked like Cameron Diaz. I kind of see it. Now a lot of people say I look Eastern European and I’m not sure why. 7. My favorite colors are red and black, but I HATE the two colors together. Black is my favorite color to wear and red is my favorite for cars, lipstick, and nailpolish. 8. My dad is a cop. Everyone asks me if it sucks. It kind of does. He’s really paranoid and strict on certain things, like my curfew, but his profession has gotten me out of multiple tickets. Thanks dad! 9. I really love the Discovery Health Channel and if I thought I could I’d want to be a doctor, but I don’t think I could handle all the pressure/ watching patients die. 10. On that note, I’ve never been to a funeral and no one close to me has died. I’m dreading the day it actually does happen. My dad had a heart attack when I was 14 and it made me really scared of death. Not necessarily my own, but the idea of losing people I love scares me. 11. If you make me laugh I automatically like you, even if the laughters at my own expense. I say the first thing that comes to my mind and it makes me seem ditzy at times, but in no way am I stupid; I just don’t take myself too seriously. A sense of humor is key for anyone I’m friends with/ anyone I date. 12. I snort when I laugh and I’m a huge clutz and I’m asthmatic. Some people think it’s endearing, other people probably find it real annoying. I don’t know what I think yet. 13. I’ve lived in Jamison my whole life but I got to school in NYC. It was a really hard transition at first but now I love it and can’t imagine living in a different city. 14. I’m a really loyal friend and I think it’s one of my best traits. When people don’t return the same loyalty to me it hurts me more than anything else. Some bad personality traits: Overly sensitive, over analyze everything, and very stubborn. I’m working on it. 15. I wish I was more confidence in myself and my abilites. 16. I want to transfer from FIT after this year and go to Hunter or Pratt to get my degree in Art Education. My favorite classes in school were always art classes and I think it would be neat to teach a class kids actually look forward to going to. 17. I like listening to new music when I’m at home, but when I’m driving I always listen to music that is more “catchy.” My favorite driving music is Saves the Day, the Unloveables, Cartel, Owen, The Smiths, and the Movielife, as well as random mixes I make on my ipod. 18. That being said, Saves the Day is the only band I can think of that instantly make me happy when I listen to them, best band. 19. I worked at Planet Smoothie for 3 years until this summer. Now I work full time at a company that makes medical supplies. This job kinda sucks and it made me appriciate how awesome working at Planet Smoothie actually was. Growing up sucks. 20. I challenge you to find a picky-er eater than me. I don’t eat eggs or any form of seafood, as well as a bunch of other things. It’s annoying and I wish I was a better eater. 21. Kate Wright is my best friend. I have a few other really good friends, but Kate and I just get along really well and spend a lot of time together, she’s awesome and I feel lucky to have her. 22. I’m addicted to coffee and diet coke. I drink a bottle of water every night before bed. 23. I REALLY like dark hair and dark eyes on guys. I think 99% of blonde guys are unattractive. I’m also attracted to a guy when they are mean to me and ignore me. No wonder I have boy problems. 24. Two major fears: Heights and insects. I hate them both so much 25. I’m negative about almost everything, and I wish I wasn’t because in actuality I have a lot of things to be happy about. For some reason I can rarely see the positivity in my life and it’s my biggest struggle.
