100 facts

I read a lot of blogs, mostly blogs of strangers. It’s the 21st century way of peaking from behind the curtains. Yeah, I’m nosy like that. My favourite blog was that of a New York waiter. Sadly, he quit his job and it got boring. But I’m straying away from my point. One of the blogs I read has a post of 100 facts about the blog writer. Now the title becomes clear, doesn’t it? So, I decided to write 100 facts about myself. It took me almost 2 days to complete.


1.I like things that smell like bubble gum. Shower gel, body lotions, pretty much anything that smells like bubble gum.
2.I like to buy products that smell nice but I rarely use them.
3.I get excited by new stuff and get bored in 1 to 5 days. Few things have lasted longer.
4.I smoke and I don’t want to quit.
5.I drink coffee.
6.I drink Coke. I will choose Coke over Pepsi any day. I think people who drink Pepsi just don’t
know how to enjoy life. I think that people who can’t tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi have no taste buds.
7.I believe everybody has the right to choose when it comes to their lives and their bodies. Yes, this means I am pro-choice and proud of it.
8.I have been in boys’ dorm rooms that were cleaner than mine. I like my mess, thank you very much, and will not clean unless I am mad, extremely bored or am having a cleaning fit.
9.I cannot stand my bathroom or kitchen to be dirty. This does not apply to dishes which I don’t mind doing but I will leave be if I don’t feel like it, sometimes even for weeks.
10.I would have liked to work in advertising.
11.I think I am funny. Most people disagree.

13.I also drink tea. I prefer green, black and peppermint.
14.I like peppermint things. Tea, ice cream, chocolate and that’s just what I can think of right now.

16.I dislike having to wake up early.
17.I dwell on small things.
18.I will sometimes beat myself up for stupid things I did years before.
19.My left eye is different because of a surgery I had. Until 2 years ago it was the first thing I noticed every time I looked in a mirror. Now I have to focus to notice it. It hasn’t changed. I have.
20.I dislike wearing make-up because it makes my weird eye more noticeable.

86.I have romantic views of small French villages. I don’t wish to know the reality. My imagination is much better.
87.I don’t like cutesy pet names. I have a name and I like it. I also have a nickname that I like. Are those 2 so hard to remember that you have to use a cutesy thing? There is only one that I don’t mind.
88.I am blunt.
89.I will answer most questions honestly unless I feel it’s none of the asker’s business. I won’t answer questions about my age, though. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it’s incredibly rude and most people need to learn not to ask that. Next time they might get a person who does mind.

94.I have quite a few metallic boxes and I will buy almost anything as long as it comes in a metallic box.
95.I have one perfume that I like. There might be others but I haven’t found them yet. It’s Miracle by Lancôme. Fell free to send me one as well.
96.I will lie thru my teeth and with a smile on my face to get out of trouble. Because of this I rarely got in trouble when I was a kid. I’m really good at it.
97.I can’t stand small purses even though I never carry lots of things with me. It must at least fit a big book. I would take a messenger bag over one of those tiny purses any day.
98.I love input, both positive and negative. I can take critique well, as long as it’s founded.
99.I like change. I like to move. I sleep on my pullout couch once a month because I get bored of always sleeping in my bed.
