Weird and random things about me

1. Culture and sociology topics completely fascinate me.
2. Fake people really annoy me. I'm too honest and genuine, so I have a hard time faking when I don't care for someone. I'll be polite, but not overly friendly in such instances.
3. I tend to be more witty in person or on the phone than online. I think I come across more serious online. No idea why though. Maybe my nonverbal communication is more playful and animated?
4. People may perceive me as 'girly' at times, which I think is hilarious because the only thing that makes me 'girly' is that I wear makeup....which I only do because it helps me look more like an adult and less like a teenager (I have a problem of looking too young at times).
5. I leave the ends of pickles on the plate at restaurants, uneaten. Yup, I'm weird.
6. I have adverse psychological reactions to too much of anything: too much routine, too much chaos, too much noise, too much socializing, too much time on my hands, too much judgment/negativity, too much dogma....therefore, I strive for happy mediums in my life. :)
7. Though I have a spiritual side, I rarely talk about it. I'm more private when it comes to this aspect of myself.
8. I wish I had my own therapist sometimes. A great, objective listener with helpful and insightful qualities is hard to find when I am the one who needs guidance and solutions to challenges.
9. Needy people annoy me, yet I can be just as needy at times too...and I then annoy myself. Haha.
10. According to my mother, 'you read the strangest books....' and I love telling weird anecdotes.
11. I love most things Latin: margaritas, food, men. Yes, I should have either been born with a Latin background or perhaps as my friend Sebastian says, I just need to date/marry a 'brown boy' already. hehehe
12. I don't talk about myself as much as most people, unless I feel close to a particular person or sometimes in my writing.
13. I have more questions than answers, which apparently not everyone likes.
14. I have avocado craving phases.
15. I'm not typically a jealous person, but when I do get jealous, it's not usually in a romantic sense but more in the aspect of adventure and travel. For example, I am slightly jealous of my brother's recent travels around the world. Maybe this is why I become both intrigued and depressed whenever I watch The Travel Channel (don't watch it much anymore, hahaha!).
16. The cost of my student loans could probably buy me a small house.
17. I wonder if I'll ever get married.
18. I want a dog 'child' to call my own (more than I want a human child).
19. I could never give up cheese. I tried once and it only lasted a few days. I love it too much. I will never be a vegan!
20. At some point in time, I have had a crush on my close male friends.

Yay, I'm glad you did it. I enjoyed it very much! I really hope Sebastian does it too, hopefully with two tags he'll feel the pressure.

Haha ok #3. It is because you write so properly. I wouldn’t be afraid to use slang or even make up a new word, it might be a fantastic new word! Maybe sometimes write like you speak?

#5. jesus…that is strange, and that is why I try and keep you as a friend. Nice read

That's the thing, I DO write like I speak. And I do come up with my own words/phrases off and on. Guess you haven't noticed. :P

To your comment about #5....thanks? I get the strangest compliments from people. And ditto, my friend...ditto. hahaha
