*Yawn* Well tomorrow is my sunday, which blows. But my dad is coming down, and me and my sister are going to meet him tomorrow and go out for a movie and dinner. (Me and dad have no idea what movie or where we're going to eat. We're both incapable of planning, and my sister loves to schedule stuff so it's up to her. I told her no chick flicks, though.)
In other news, I've been seeing these meme floating around for the past week on the flist, and I've finally broken down and given it a shot. Here goes:
1. I consider myself a practical person, but that still didn't stop me from moving to my current city a few years ago in hopes of joining a band and becoming a rock star.
2. I'm such a masculine chick that I know I probably should have been born a boy. Only I like being a woman.
3. I miss the Sierra Nevada so much it feels almost like an physical ache.
4. I'm a little proud of the fact that I graduated High School by doing exactly as much work as I needed to just to scrape by. I could have had A's if I felt like it, but I knew I could only afford a community college, so fuck it. I dicked around as much as possible and took all electives.
5. All of my family with the exception of one aunt, my parents and my sister are dead due to 1) Drug/Alcohol addiction 2) Crippling mental illness. Other than that, we're pretty healthy.
6. I have to admit -- I felt wary of the Muslim women dressed in the hijab on my team... then I befriended her and realized what an awesomely awesome chick she is. Plus, she liked talking about sex. A lot. Who knew?
7. I often put my more annoying customer's on hold and start cursing up a storm with the full knowledge my supervisor will hear every word I'm saying if he listens to the recorded call later. I'm hoping it'll make him listen to my calls less.
8. The bad part about #7 is that sometimes my supervisor makes me listen to myself. Yesterday I had to sit there and listen while I sung about yarn while the customer was listening to legal. It was horrifying.
9. I started crocheting around x-mas when I'm stressed at work. My blanket is now 4 1/2 feet by 4 1/2 feet.
10. Even though I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in a devil, I still don't like listening to Marylin Manson because he's a satanist. He freaks me out.
11. I have three fears: Volcanoes, Rabies, and Mass Transit.
12. One day I will own and ride a Ninja 250 motorcycle (in neon green). I would already have it if it weren't for this recession.
13. I worked for a year to get my Water Treatment certification, and now that I have it, aside from that one interview, no one is hiring. I know it's not my fault, but I still feel like a loser.
14. I love writing.
15. I always had a mental image of an abused woman being poor, uneducated, and neive. Then I had to wonder what the hell that made me when I stayed with the bastard for two and a half years.
16. My parents tried for four years to have me, eventually seeking a fertility doctor when nothing worked. Then they preceded to smoke pot through the pregancy. Yea, hippies!
17. I don't have any baby pictures. They were all washed down the river in the flood. I'm pretty sure I was adorable, though.
18. I am either a throwback to some genetic ancestor, or my sister is. She's blond haired, green eyed and pale skin. I'm darker skinned with dark squinty almond shaped eyes and dark brown hair. I'm sure we have the same father. We both inherited his tremors.
19. Smallest. Bladder. In. The. World. (GOTTA PEE!!!!)
20. I'm mostly sure I had a miscarriage once.
21. I don't want to buy anything big (with the exception of my cool motorcycle) because I'm getting tired of this never-ending consumerism.
22. Right now I have a huge popcorn craving. With lots of butter, and salt.
23. Sometimes all I want to do is talk about my writing or an idea about a novel or something, but no one in my real life knows I write.
24. I started listening to music when I was 17. I hated it before then. I didn't get it. Then I listened to Korn, and for the first time I felt the music speak to me.
25. I love my mom and have a great relationship with her, but my dad is the coolest, wisest, fried-out hippy ever.

I don't think it's bravery. I just think it's not letting ourselves make those excuses anymore, you know?

Hey, having your parents set the bar high for you is good too. It kept you in school, didn't it?

I'm still in school... and wil lbe for other 2 more years (and then I'll go on and Study animation XD)
My dream used to be to get a PhD on something amazing, because my dad has a PhD, and my mom a Master... I can't just be a Ba D:
BUT! I realized, that if I became rich and famous by doing cartoons, it would be equally as (if not much more) gratifying as if got a PhD in linguistics or something like that :D

#23- Lol, same here! My friends know I have these obsessions over pointless shows, but they really don't know the extent of my passion!! Though, one of my besties did mention that if I found a guy who could hold a conversation about Avatar, he'd be my one and only. So, maybe they do know and choose to ignore my addiction?!?
#25- Hippie dads are awesome.

This post reminded me that I need to go do my 25 things that I was tagged for. I am such a slacker!
